Tank flipping and flying hack

[Frazman 14]

I was playing for the red team in a Stadium CTF battle when my tank would suddenly flip upside down for no apparent reason. I began recording video, and recorded several instances of my tank and at least one or two other of my teammate’s tanks flipping over (including while carrying the flag, making capture impossible). I assumed it must have been some sort of hack, as the tanks would flip on a flat surface without any apparent shot or contact with any obstacle. Several minutes later I recorded Serega007269 engage in several “flying tank” maneuvers. After the final such maneuver, Serega007269 abruptly left the battle. After Serega007269 left the battle, I recorded over half an hour of the remainder of the battle with no further observed tank-flipping incidents. This leads me to believe that Serega007269 was the player responsible for the tank-flipping hack as well.

 

I have provided a continuous video of 8 ½ minutes from when I started recording until Serega007269 left the battle.

 

The incidents occurred at the following time stamps:

 

At the :08 mark in the video, player GEORGIAVAHTANG’s tank for my (red) team suddenly flips over while carrying the flag. GEORGIAVAHTANG is destroyed and I approach the blue flag. At the :24 mark my tank suddenly flips upside just as I’m about to take the flag. In neither of these cases was there any visible shot from an enemy tank that could have caused a flip like this. You can see from the scoreboard at the :35 mark that Serega007269 is in the battle at this point.

 

The battle continues and at the :58 mark my tank again flips for no apparent reason.

 

At the 1:36 mark my tank flips again for no apparent reason, although this time it flips completely and I land right-side up.

 

At the 3:21 mark GEORGIAVAHTANG has the blue flag again when his or her tank looks like it’s beginning to flip for no reason but then remains right-side up.

 

At the 3:36 mark another red tank can be seen flipping in an unusual manner at the top of the screen (although this incident is inconclusive by itself).

 

At the 4:16 mark another red tank appears to flip in an unusual manner (zefires).

 

At the 4:38 mark while I’m carrying the blue flag I once again flip for no apparent reason, landing on my side before I’m destroyed by a blue tank.

 

At the 5:17 mark I again flip for no apparent reason, this time landing right-side up after a complete flip.

 

At the 7:01 mark a blue tank can be seen doing an unusual straight drop from the ledge. On approach that tank is Serega007269.

 

Starting at the 7:14 mark a blue tank can be seen in the middle of the “field” engaging in flying tank maneuvers. On approach at the 7:27 mark the identity of this tank can be seen as Serega007269.

 

At the 7:51 mark Serega007269 is again engaging in flying tank maneuvers until he or she is destroyed.

 

Finally at the 8:12 mark Serega007269 again appears to be engaging in flying tank maneuvers briefly behind the blue base on the bottom level. Serega007269 then leaves the battle. For the remaining 30+ minutes of the battle after the departure of Serega007269 there were no further unusual tank flipping incidents observed.
