twitching a tank upright

[olfen 2]

So here's a problem I have.  There seems to be some "trick" of being able to twitch your tank upright after it's been flipped.  I've also seen people do this after they've been pushed off a ramp or edge.  An otherwise normally playing tank, gets flipped over by say a railgun shot, and it starts jerking around, having spasms and flips itself back over.  This is not a tank that's just flipped on it's side and rights itself, nor one that's lagging a bit, it's a normally playing tank, it gets hit, is obviously flipping over onto it's turret and starts twitching and goes back upright again.  I see this same behavior at times when a tank is pushed off the edge.  A normally moving tank, goes glitchy, twitching, spasms around and suddenly it's back on the map, past you, and moving normally again.  On some occasions I see it used to get past defenders guarding a ramp or tunnel, the tank runs fine across the map then goes glitchy right as it engages the defenders and goes back to normal a second or two later, which is enough time to get past the defenders.

 

As I've gone up in the ranks I see this occurring significantly more often.  I see it rarely in the English servers but it's become almost a normal part of game play on the Russian servers it seems.  Personally I would consider it hacking as it violates the rules governing normal tank motion and think players should be banned for a significant amount of time or permanently for employing the tactic.  It is rather bad for game play and I would rate it a bug that seriously needs to be fixed.

Lag, Most of the time

i a player used a fly hack to get a goldbox in island & when we say they're using hacks their excuse is lag

I think you should re-word your post to help prevent confusion....

A tank twitching is lag. If he flys he hacks. 2 different things

[Maf 32,312]

As said above, twitching is caused by lag, when the information from the other player is slightly delayed or distorted as it is transferred from their device to yours. Most of the time there is nothing the developers can do about this issue, but they are working on possible solutions to fix lag from their side.

i know but i've seen players using the jump hack to twitch a tank upright

That would be lag

 

If its like this its lag (Start 0:20)

i've seen this hack many times, it's not caused by lags i think those hackers are using chorger or cheat engine to do this.

when i flip a hacker tank, he stay flipped for 1 minute then his tank start to bounce and voila he is good to go.

For times like that yeah its a hack but 1-3 seconds after then thats lag

no its not i saw that player using it a few times & i've seen other as well

It happens to me consistently. I am playing next to my friend at school and it happens. I know when its lag and when its not. 

If you think they hack watch them carefully.

Take a video next time. I can guarantee its a connection problem or lag

i would've but when i start to record something it starts to lag

Exactly

Lags

One would almost have to wonder if the ones saying it's lag, know something we don't and don't want the issue discussed, LOL.

No, that's nothing like it.  That tank clearly fell over and was just a bit slow on the frame rate.  It didn't stop, then start jumping around in various positions for a second or two, which is what the tanks I'm describing do.

 

No it's clearly not lag when I see it.  The tank is operating normally just fine before it gets hit and then goes back to operating just fine after it flips itself back up right.  The tank can literally be standing still, get flipped, and twitch itself back upright a second or two later sometimes.  Hardly a case for lag nor does that explain the tank that's taken several other hits but when flipped suddenly lags and pops back over? No... something else is doing on here and why is it so much more common on the Russian servers?  From every indication 

 

I can accept the lag issue during the occasions where tanks are on top of each other, pushing for an edge and the fact the server starts having a problem there, we've all seen that in a dog pile where the server obviously can't handle the computations suddenly required to keep the frame rate up.  I've closely watched the data transfer and the server is the issue there as it can't push the frame rate down to the client to compensate for the pile up.  But the stand alone tanks getting hit, twitching and flipping back over is something else.
