Summary

0004071: Tank's FCS breaks with multiple crew members

Description

IF the Tank GUNNER is NOT the last person to have been in the DRIVER's seat, the FCS (Fire Control System) will be broken and the cannon will not be able to hit its target EVERY TIME.

Field Expedient Solution: Have the GUNNER swap seats to the DRIVER's position and back into the gunner's position. As long as another crew member does not enter the Driver's position, the FCS will fix itself upon re-entry to the gunner's seat.

Steps To Reproduce

Have TWO crew members and ONE tank of any model ready.

1. Have Crew member # 1 enter tank and position himself as gunner.

(1.5 Have Crew member # 1 Fire tank at any target for a reference to how accurate the cannon SHOULD be.)

2. Have Crew member # 2 enter tank and take Driver's position.

3. Have Crew member # 1 Fire cannon at any target and observe the abrupt end in accuracy

Additional Information

I have noticed two side effects that may or may not happen depending on which tank is used.

Side Effect # 1: When switching from the GUNNER to the DRIVER while fixing the FCS, one may notice that the cannon starts the reloading process all over again.
   -In Russian tanks this may cause the "next round" to be loaded.

Side Effect # 2: When switching from the GUNNER to the DRIVER while fixing the FCS, one may find themselves EJECTED from the vehicle randomly within 1 to 10 seconds of the initial Position Switch.

This experience was observed on all RHS KOTH servers listed below:
   -teamrevolt.org - King Of The Hill RHS - AU 0000004
   -CodeFourGaming - King Of The Hill RHS - EU #1
   -CodeFourGaming - King Of The Hill RHS - US 0000002

The tanks tested will be listed below:
   -M1A1FEP
   -M1A1SA (TUST 1)
   -T-72B3
   -T-80UK
   -T-80UE
   -T-90 (2006)

I was not able to test this in editor because I could not find a volunteer to help test with.

Notes
