[2019] Almost strained my neck performing this knife takedown

What makes it very unreadable is the fact that we are using 'back facing' as condition for melee kills, but this doesn't mean 'where the back is facing'. The upper body rotates around as you aim, but your 'forward direction' doesn't change when you do that. This means when you are back stabbing someone, you might actually hit from the side.

Very annoying and something we should fix. We have plans to figure out where the actual back is facing and using that for the melee kills, but as everything it takes time...

Not sure what is happening in the video, my suspicion is that the soldier was turning around while you started the melee animation, resulting in the nauseating mess that you recorded.
