• Ground vehicles that make use of the “hull aiming mode” will no longer roll down hills when positioned upon the landscape at large or very small angles.

Isnt that the 4th time that we get this same issue "fixed" ? 

[Exelcia 118]

(Edit: The issue seems to have been caused by the update changing my controls in such a way that automatic transmission became disabled. Changing transmission mode to automatic fixed the problem.)

 

Original text:

It's good that hull aiming is getting looked at; however, this update has unfortunately introduced a much more serious issue: vehicles with hull aiming are currently unable to move forwards or backwards, trapping them in the spawn and essentially making them stationary artillery emplacements. A bug report is underway, although I hope that this gets fixed far before the report has had enough time to be read and forwarded.

Hey, do you have specifics, for a quick test? Vehicle, game mode (ab/rb?). Are the vehicles affected in test drive or only in live games?

The issue happens both in the test drive and in battles, and in all game modes (AB, RB, SB). I have so far tested in RB random battles and in the test drive in all modes, using the VT1-2 as well as the Strv 103-0, although I only tested the latter in a test drive.

dont have that cant move problem but the aiming speed is sadly reduced even more. could it be possible to use non linear aiming were the aiming is faster when further away from the aiming center becouse now it needs 23 seconds for a 90 degre turn in the 103 in sniper mode 

[Dr_Pavel 3,713]

There's no sound coming out of the Strv 103s engine either.

[Tazdingdong 1]

please dont forget the usa m901 reloading issue when ammo runs out and acquiring new batch of ammos

[ANTIMATTER 55]

Thats fine and all but have you fixed the issue where it continuously wiggles horizontally when in hull aiming mode. It makes it really difficult and frustrating to play this tank and ive pretty much given up on it at this pount

[Exelcia 118]

The issue with nonmoving ground vehicles was caused by the update disabling automatic transmission; changing transmission mode back to automatic fixed the issue. Fortunately, no bug report is needed on this problem.

 

Original text:

I have posted a bug report on the issue in the "Ground Vehicle 3D Visual, performance, handling and damage models" section of moderated bug reports. A video further demonstrating the problem will be added to the report once it's ready.

[Storm_79 118]

Exactly the problem with all these models is the lack of engine sound:
STRV 103-0

STRV 103A

STRV 103C

Aiming on different surfaces is also a big problem.
I hope this will be fixed although it is a new mechanic.

[ANTIMATTER 55]

Hull aiming is still broken, 103-0 is still at a BR where its armor is useless and it takes forever to aim. Are you guys ever planning on fixing this? We paid real money for this tank and its pretty much useless

[omarrrrrrrrrrrrr 748]

why just focusing on the hull aiming system overall its super glitchy and it make the most unique tanks from sweden unplayable

[SenpaiFuzz 14]

Is there any word on what's causing helicopter ballistic computers to not function properly when the helicopter is crewed?

[Joetime 1]

Just a reminder that I hope you pass on Quiche. CCIP for all helicopters has been broken for 4 days now. Kind of frustraiting especially when you have bought a £50 heli and can't use one of the main features. Hope they're working on it!

Cheers.

The strv103  has bug where there is any tank at near it (especially behind) , it will do a wiggle aim. i tested in the test  drive and it happened. in random battles it got worse. it happen on VT1-2 too. some debris made it happened but it is harder to come by. other gun barrel effected it when it touched the strv103. Another complain is i don't like the aiming gets slow when it is close to mouse crosshair and now it is worse after the update. it was better before the Swedish plane and strv103-0 came out. So gaijin u need to perfecting it until it is like WOT hull aim system. and i feel bad on those (including me) whose spend on STRV103-0 and VT1-2. also, it is doesn't have good response now specialy when there are over 80k players in the servers and it gives server  not responding.

It's being reported, we'll try to fix it quickly.

[deberts 4]

Just installed the update.  Resulted in an error code of 81110007.

 

Tried the fix found at https://support.gaijin.net/hc/en-us/articles/200070331-Error-81110007-File-read-error-Try-to-repair-installation-by-launcher-

but it didn't work, same error.

 

Total game reinstall worked, but now I have to redo all my settings.
