enemy commander took MY arty guns

Re: enemy commander took MY arty guns

the best is i blew up the arty after we captured the airfield on wake and got 3 points for destroying and -3 for team damage. so in the end i got 0. weird to see all those messages at once on the screen.

Re: enemy commander took MY arty guns

There is a bug and I don't think it's just related to Wake Island. I was USMC on Kubra Damn. We took control of MECs airfield and when I blew up the Radar and UAV Trailer, I got Team Vehicle Damage for both of them and I did lose points. I remember it happening before on another map but I forget the circumstances.

Really? I can't reproduce this "bug" and none of my guys have mentioned seeing it. (And a couple of them are SpecOps whores)

Re: enemy commander took MY arty guns

Hrm... that's odd, cause I was trying to solve the "team vehicle damage" bug that people complain about when blowing up commander assets per this post:

http://www.totalbf2.com/forums/showthread.php?p=448239#post448239

I have YET to get Team Vehicle Damage for blowing enemy assets even when I try to reproduce the bug. I think people are just confused and disoriented when blowing up assets.

But I did try to get the dual arty bug, and it DID NOT HAPPEN. But from the screen shot in the first post of this thread, I can see the arty missing… it’s got to be a WAKE island bug and NOT a 1.03 bug.

silG, is that YOUR supply crate there?

Do the us have to perhaps repair the blown arty to gain control of it? Why only TWO of the arty and not ALL three of them?

oh FFS - I proved in the other thread to you that this is a bug or feature, whatever you want to call it.

Here's how it works...AGAIN:

If the enemy base with the commander assets can be capped:
1. BLOW UP THE ASSETS
2. TAKE OVER THE BASE
3. REPAIR THE ASSETS

You now have ownership of those assets. The flags on them will still show to be enemy, and you will be penalized if you blow them up.

I have not tested it to see if our commander gets 2 UAV scans up at a time, or if they get 2 scans - but the arty does stack and will fire.

Re: enemy commander took MY arty guns

exactly...

I've never been on the USMC side of this, but as a commander for the PLA, I've seen it happen...and only after the assets were blown up.

They can cap the flag, and you can still use the arty on them, but after its been blown up and fixed, your screwed :P

Re: enemy commander took MY arty guns

I could actually believe this since something like this happened to me. I was in a j-10 and everyone on my team died..lol..so I bailed over that north base and took the tank. Sat at the flag and then got artyed. Oh well I'll sit here and risk it. Well I got pounded by SOOOOO much arty. I never seen that much before.

So assuming that there is a bug that means I was hit by 6 different arty pieces and that's why the entire screen blew up and I had a big wtf on my forehead.

lmao - yeah - been there done that. First time I saw it - I had a tank at a flag with others in APC's and on foot and arty comes in - oooooh wow, no biggie, 99% of the time you live along with most everything else, I don't move and take my chances. Out of no where - WHAM, everything around you is just wrecked! No place is safe - lol. Meanwhile - I have the wtf on my forehead as you say - wondering wtf??! how come when I arty I can't hit jack squat!! Hackers!!!

Stein, I told you that's exactly what I did. I couldn't get it to happen. On four different maps.

I mean, shiz, we TRIED to get it to happen. It's GOT to be something ELSE besides just those 3 steps.

Re: enemy commander took MY arty guns

I've been hearing people talk about this since v1.03...

Can anybody CONFIRM whether this is a REAL change?

When you take over a cappable flag that contains commander toys, do you get CONTROL over those commander toys?

i.e. you can use them as commander, and if you destroy them it counts as team damage

Personally, I think it's a new v1.03 bug.

YOU own the airfield in that screenshot, so YOU should control that arty.

I can add that last nite USMC took the airfiled, and I was unable to repair the Chinese arty as a Chinese wrench.
They did all show up on the radar as yellow, which is different from what the picture above shows.

So maybe there are two distinct bugs here:

losing all or some of your assets
unable to repair when in enemy hands

Re: enemy commander took MY arty guns

why should it be a bug. You capture the airfield you get the toys! Simple. since the airfield is also the key flag on this map it adds to its importance.

Yes, I can see that this would p off the Chinese, but they get to slaughter the enemy in the woefully weak boats with big bu**ery tanks and helis!!!!!

Re: enemy commander took MY arty guns

LOL, silG.

Now has anyone else confirmed this happens on ANY other map? Or is this just a wake bug?

Re: enemy commander took MY arty guns
