I have heard of the bug where a teammates name shows up as red but I have occasionally seen a similar bug while flying. The vehicle bomb indicator will sometimes show up with an open box or circle on a friendly vehicle. This happened to me last night in my J-10 on Wake Island at the first flag on the Northern arm of the island. I got a team kill when I dropped my bombs on a friendly jeep with an open circle, I should have known better because the round had just begun. I have also been noticing that non-manned anti-aircraft turrets will show up with a bombing indicator. Has anyone else come across these bugs?

Re: Bomb indicator bug
Yeah, in my opinion the bombing HUD is the biggest problem at the moment. I ussually look at the map to make sure, but it can be a huge problem. It typically only happens with vehicles that were just excited by your teamates. -
Re: Bomb indicator bug
Yeah, they've been that way since the beginning. I'm not much of a pilot, but from what I've heard from BirdKiller, the bomb HUD will mark targets on vehicles that have just spawned, or vehicles that were just exited by a friendly character. Chances are what happened to you was the jeep was just exited by a friendly and then popped up on the HUD as an enemy (when in reality it was just an empty vehicle), or the jeep just spawned and a friendly was getting to it.
Although, I guess it could also be a variation of the red nametag bug. I don't know what would happen if you were in a jet and someone with a red tag bug was driving a vehicle. My guess they'd show up as an enemy as well.

Re: Bomb indicator bug

Re: Bomb indicator bug
From what I understood it was still picking up on the heat of the vehicle that was just exited. If your teammate is next to it, or hops in it while bombs are flying...guess what...Comment

Re: Bomb indicator bug
Not really a red teammate bug, because on the map they show up blue - so its a seperate bug. Do you think they did this to limit the effectiveness of the planes? I personally don't give EA/DICE that much credit.Comment

Re: Bomb indicator bug
it all comes to the same bug, the server just gets things wrong due to bad code , and offcourse it realy sucks when having this bug, but I can tell you it sucks even harder when the bug is on your side, two days ago was playing on a server, and the moment I spwaned I got shot down by a teammate, they siad it was the wrong tag bug, and I believed them because I got shot down by teammates almost 10 times in a row by different people, and I had to leave the server because it wasn't playableComment

Re: Bomb indicator bug
I think there may be two different bugs here because of the empty turrets showing up as occupied.Originally posted by DrevorComment

Re: Bomb indicator bug
Yes, two different bugs indeed. This was mentioned before, so they probably just didn't read the entire post before replying.Comment

Re: Bomb indicator bug
Wow, this is probably the fourth time I've explained this one, read this thread and watch the video I posted up in there: http://forums.totalbf2.com/showthread.php?t=32747
It isn't a random bug, it does it any time a teammate of yours exits the drivers seat of a vehicle or stationary weapon, all the time. Always be sure you check your minimap before dumping a truckload of bombs, it's always good to make sure there are no infantry from your team around because they do not show up on the bombing radar.
If your too lazy to read that whole thread just to get to the link to the video, well you can watch it here: The Video. I am surprised this hasn't made it into the sticky in the 'Tips & Tricks' section by now, as it is pretty much fact.
You will see that there is indeed only two of us in the server, both of us on the same team. Then you will see the targeting cue flip from friendly to unfriendly then back again, that is RoadWarrior getting in and out of the main seat.
If you still don't believe me, set up a date and a time with me and we will go find an empty server together.Comment
