New Physics problem: tanks go on top of each other

[the_enemy 22]

Before the new physics, tanks would regularly push each other. Since the new physics, this can go very wrong many times. Now, tanks seem to be able to push under other tanks a lot. Last night I had a wasp push under my titan, which left me unable to control (or hit anyone). This is wrong! A wasp should never be able to push around a titan. I should have been pushing him back.

 

I'm wondering if it is more associated with network latency - have tanki developers not tested the new physics much with slightly higher network delays - I'm not in Russia after all, but they are and will have great network latency.

Dude, new physics is not the cause. maybe you didint know, titan is a heavy hull, wasp is a light hull. so now you know what would happen if a heavy hull pushes a light hull. use your common sense :)

It's not because of the hulls or the network connection; this is a bug that's been there since the new physics.

So this problem isn't network-related

 

I'm pretty sure the developers are aware, tank interaction still needs some tweaks.

It was far worse in the beginning (test) stage of the new physics.

 

It will probably be fixed, and listed in the patch notes updates.

Yeah,bad problem.

I think that it will be fixed.

Each time I push another tank Its either i go on top of it thus flipping myself or then he comes on top of me.

yup ;)

Good that this bug will get fixed as you can also get flipped right over when team mates collide.

Ya this problem gets pretty annoying especially when they take the gold box doing that....

i remember before the rebalance... tanks got stuck with each other and most of the times, one of them had to self destruct. when the rebalance came out, i was super happy that the devs fixed it :D

You guys think this is a bug? :O I kind of like the way it is now. I kinda hope it stays... I use the 'bug' as a strategy... to dodge enemy shots, or do parkour (ramming head on) or to simply manuever around the enemy...

 

Theres an easy way to stop it from happening... just dont ram full power.. as soon as they bump you head on, back up slightly.. sit still for a second, and then you can push forward. You two will continue ramming each other without going over top.

 

Just learn how to use this as a trick up your sleeve to save you in the most desperate times, and you'll become a more skilled player than most! :)

I'm pretty sure there was no intention to implent this, It's annoying and doesn't look realistic.

So it would be obvious if the developers will work on patching it sooner or later.

The developers are already familiar with these issues, they will fix it when they can.
