Invisible Things

Im not sure if i recorded it, but if i did i have a video where im playing BN, and i look from behind the cover using commander sight. I see nothing, but once i drive out, enemy appears.

Would be cool if you can provide it.

I found it, i will do so when internet will be back, as there is some kind of a problem.

Honestly its wierd to point to anti-cheat when its way more likely its just asset culling having a moment.

Warthunder does asset culling to conserve resources, and explains why its more common at a distance or behind buildings.

The fact one occasionally see Invisible tanks is an unfortunate sode effect that will probably never be 100% eliminated

Here it is

No it isn’t. The spot reporting (the chevron indicators that pop up in the view and on the map) is influenced by “keen vision” and “radio skills” .
Vehicles not being visible is a rendering bug in the game.

Wow … thx for providing this. This should be pinned somewhere so everyone can see this.

Nope… That’s only PART of it.

There’s nothing to “fix” because it’s not a bug, you can only fix things that are broken. It is P2W, which is BS, but still not a bug. They intended for it to be P2W…

Level up your keen vision skill, and it will basically stop happening to you like 95% of the time that it would have before. Does still sometimes, because keen vision is just a multiplier, not a 100% lightswitch. Other multipliers can still overwhelm it and lead to a “no vision” result, but it will happen VASTLY more rarely.

(E.g. in the above video where there are like 4 different pieces of obstruction between him and the other guy all adding negative multipliers.)

Absolutely, and the fact that it takes time, and wears down to then disappear is part of it too.

It’s not as soon as it gets ‘blocked’ it’s just after it actually occurs.

No its not, sight mechanics have NOTHING to do with redering tanks in game. You can have two crews, one aced and the other with a single point still render a tank 2000+ meters away. It only impacts markers and effects AB over RB.

I have had tanks blip in and out without shooting or doing anything in open deserts.

Great, then stop posting misinformation.

Your inability to understand client server communication is not mine.

get over yourself, you really need some help, stop replying to your own thoughts.

Can’t you guys just take this to the bedroom already?

Replays or it didn’t happen

Weird then how when I upgraded my keen vision, this completely stopped happening 95% of the time. literally happened like 5 times a game before, then changed to maybe once every 10 games I notice a single tank ever disappearing anymore these days. Must have just been the wind…

Enjoy your needless invisible tanks that you continue to suffer for no reason other than being stubborn about not leveling your crew skills, I guess.

(That said, they are definitely still trying to bamboozle us as a company by saying “it’s just for anti cheat”. It may accomplish that goal, but that is no reason to include pay 2 win crew skills in the algorithm. So it’s at best “for anti cheat AND to make an extra buck off of accelerated training”)

Which servers you play on and which mode? I have great crews and shit crews and rendering is inconsistent. The worst one was a VIDAR on Sinai was rendering in and out at 700m with an expert crew at 141 total points. He wasnt doing anything but sitting on a rock and as I was aiming to shoot him he would jsut flash on and off. Killed him and moved on.

EDIT: I’ll add the the rendering issue that I have seen is exceptionally rare, happens maybe 1% of the time.

Both arcade and realistic ground. I used to play RB when I first started out, buying into the peer pressure from youtubers etc. And I too thought that keen vision did nothing (other than little red arrows)

Then I realized I hated CAS and switched to arcade most of the time, and keen vision is obviously useful to arcade, so I started leveling it way up. And the invisible tanks went away… on exactly those crews I leveled up only, that is.

I do occasionally play a couple rounds of realistic now and then, and they’re gone there too, but invisibility isn’t any different in general between GRB and GAB, tanks still went invisible just as often in arcade before I leveled it up. now they don’t, in either, on those crews.
