Ouch, it hurts watching this. I'll see if this issue is tracked already and see what I can do about it.

Is this the bug where the guy is "crouched" in the tank but he's shown as standing to other people?

Might be, but not sure about it. Our QA needs to try to reproduce it before we can fix it.

If it helps, I've had the same issue several times in situations it would be unreasonable for the gunner to crouch (for over 10s straight, in the back of the game). 3:47 to 4:02.

Awesome, I'll attach the video to the ticket.

I have some examples I can send you links to on different maps with different guns, if that will help. Net graph wasn't enabled sadly but I hope I can help in reproducing it. It'll be next week when I'm back at home.

Video links are always welcome, they will help QA pinpoint what's going on exactly.

I've ran into this bug as a bystander watching an enemy being unable to damage a teammate. I doubt the teammate was actually crouched since they had just spawned in, and they were also firing at the enemy; they even got a kill a moment later: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHppKWI-S7o&t=106.

Probably more interesting, here is a video another user posted a few months ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/BattlefieldV/comments/a6kw2y/this_has_been_happening_more_and_more_latelydice/

Assuming it's the same bug at play here, notice how shots start registering only once the tank drives forward, moving the gunner just past the line of fire. It seems like the player hit-capsules were misaligned.

That's a great observation you made at the end, I'll see if the ticket is still open and attach this information. I might have to fix this issue myself, in which case I will reply to your message with my findings.

Praise Jebus, the day has finally come! Was the fix your work? I'm curious about the details. :)

It wasn't me, but my well respected colleague /u/oliverCAndersen was involved in it. Something went wrong in the spawning logic where the hitbox wasn't moved correctly. Was tricky to reproduce but they were able to find a fix for it!

I see, so it had nothing to do with the ducking mechanic?

No! We spent some time investigating the ducking mechanic since it seemed so obvious but kind of gave up because it didn't seem to cause the issue. Not sure how they connected it to the spawning system, maybe Oliver knows.

Not the issue that we fixed no :)

The real hero who created the fix was one of my colleagues, Christian! I assisted in testing and finding the problem that he then fixed :)
