    HullDown and moving WTH?

    http://media.putfile.com/Hulldown-but-moving

    The last game I played saw my Churchill go Hulldown and then proceed to drive across the whole map while in this state and park itself at a specific spot in the enemies base, I had no control over it at all - the vid shows the end of it's journey.
    Why it decided to go to that specific spot and disobey all my orders and how it managed to drive with all those sandbags and barrels stuck onto it?..
    A bit of pain never hurt anyone.

    In the midst of my foes.
    It's a bug. The same thing happens with the Marder. I sited the main gun and then it just started driving to the enemy base while in site mode and I tried clicking stop and trying to drive in other directions and it didn't work. Finally it parked itself in front of the enemy base and started unleashing hell. It was pretty funny.

    LOL I love how it runs into the pioneers and then they suddenly explode.
    The true mind can weather all the lies and illusions without being lost. The true heart can touch the poison of hatred without being harmed. Since beginning-less time, darkness thrives in the void but always yields to purifying light.

    No it actually shot at them, lol. Watch the smoke coming from the barrel...actually there's load of dust around it anyway..I'm pretty sure I heard a gun blast when playing it.

    It's just another bug, that pops up every now and then.

    We haven't seen this one. Could you message me with any repro steps you remember?

    I.e. were you attacking a target when you went into hull-down? Did a target retreat?

    Thanks!

    I actually taped it's whole journey across, this is where it started. It looks like it was coming down the hill while firing at the werhmacth quaters.
    If I rmember right I told it to go down just in front of the building and hit the Hulldown option at the same time.

    Guys, if you find a bug, please post it in the Bug Forum in the CoH Technical Assistance section. This way we can consolidate them instead of having them spread out all over the CoH general discussion section.

    Off topic but its not a gun blast from what it looks like you got a minesweeper add on when minesweepers hit infantry they explode like that. I toyed with that alot in the original CoH . I did this 2x with a marder if you lockdown or w/e its called while its lagging then you click an enemy tank it will be in lockdown mode and charge the tank until it runs into it unfourtunatley it then ceases to attack, that or its not alive long enough to shoot lol. something about too many commands at once.

    Yea you're right about the minesweeper making them explode, I watched the higher-res of it, lol.

    I'm not sure what's going on, my churchill was sort of bouncing when it was changing and was pushing some rubble at the same time...maybe that? but it does feel like too many commands at the same time though.

    I had one with a hull down Firefly in the campaign. It charged up the hill towards the German base attacking the group of panzers (the mission with all the 88mm) at the end of the mission.

    Oh dear, just 10 minutes ago I had a one man MG team run off like a headless chicken just like the Hulldown tank - towards the enemy base. I can't say where he was going for sure because he got cut down.
    It was on The Scheldt and he made it across the bridge and was heading towards their HQ. Again, I had no control over him.

    It seems this bug reaches deeper than just tanks with Hulldown.
