There are quite a few flags that can be captured by vehicles that are outside the capture radius. It wasn't a big poblem but I'm glad that they fixed it. Anything that tilts the balance of power back towards infantry a little without nerfing the vehicles is a good thing.

I often have problems with flags not capping on Sharqui Peninsula at the bottom flag. I'll be there with several mates and it simply wont cap. It will go 99% but never 100% sometimes. Anyone if this is related to the fix?

Could it possibly be an enemy hiding somewhere in the radius? If not just write it up as another annoying bug.

Ya, I was the one that posted the flag bug on Sharqi Peninsula. It allowed you to neutralize a flag while driving away from it and you could go pretty far too.

Once you die or get out of the vehicle then you won't be registered in the radius anymore.

there are some flags that register the flag capturing symbol thingy even when you are foot and outside of the correct radius. However the bar does not drain down, as I have tried to capture flags like this in a bid to be sneaky.

Actually the bug on Sharqi Peninsula could still be neutralized as long as the vehicle remains intact, even if you're killed.

I have another example.

Go to the Power Station flag on Mashtuur City. If you park a Vodnik outside of the fence on the North side of the flag (park right up against the fence, just east of the cutout) you can capture the flag. If you get out of the Vodnik and try to stand in the same place, it'll never work. I presume this is what it refers to.

I never really considered it a big problem.

I hate these bugs. Can't wait for v1.2
