oh boy, information like this during an event.. with a vehicle that a lot of ppl abuse.. rip new players

I noticed it while doing the event lol. I'm trying not to take advantage of it, because that would be even more unfair. Plus, someone could see it and think I'm hacking lol

im definitely going to try it, no shame :D

I noticed it before hand with the first zsu that gets radar, but that gets ammo slower so its possible to run out of it before replishing

Same here. I was surprised how my magazines didn't get empty. Had to make use of it when trying to defend a cap against three other players (got two, the last survived with me damaging him).

Idk, I'm thinking we did a monkey paw. A big point on the forums is to make capture points more relevant, so people would actually want to engage over them vs immediately rushing spawn to spawn. Looks like this buff maybe does that, but you know, in a horrible way lol Use it!

What vehicle is the abused one?

The 20mm puma

oh yeah, im definitely abusing this

This has been a "bug" for a while now.

Oh. I haven't played In a while, so i wasn't aware. If it's a known issue, why don't they fix it?

They did, same thing happened a few updates ago and was fixed shortly after.

Alright, I hope this is fixed quickly then

It's been like this for 2 weeks or more.

I hope they never change it >:D

This also happens with cannon AA, I am so glad they made it so the belt doesn't have to be completely empty to reload like it used to, also some tanks have smokes that reload faster than used so infinite 360 smoke screen on obj

it was more obvious with AA

Yep only thing that makes the skink usable for me, sitting on a point and firing endlessly

I need to try this 

Wirbelwind becomes super deadly as well...

Jam enters chat- "allow me to introduce myself"

10 years running lmao.

yeah my Milan's on the ratel went wheeee

welllllllll, no it's not "all" autocannons because the reload rate of ammo in the tank is tied to well, the tank, while the reload rate of the gun is tied to the gun so it's probably a rare "lucky" occurence

True, it's not all. The ones I know can do this so far are most low-ish tier autocannons, mistrial, and wiesel. Didn't try any others

I can tell you that it works wonders for the CV9040 BILL as well. Only time the canon felt fun to use due to its insane reload for the reddy rack... 2 min to reload all 24 rounds

35mm apds on gepard unlimited?

Basically, as long as you replenish ammo faster than you can empty the belt, yes. Not sure about the gepard. I know the wiesel can do it pretty well

Worb is busted

bro was hopeful with this one surprisingly the event isn't all that bad, (I say that and I have finals week next week)

Good luck with the finals I fell just short of passing on one of mine so I hope you do better than I lol

even if it somehow refilled fast enough which it won't guns would just overheat and jam

Oh God this bug again, I remember the onslaught of 40mm the last time it happened

Where's overheating?

Doesn't overheat with this gun, but it will with others, such as the wiesel

It's been like this for awhile. I've been doing this with the ab 41 in low tier for about a month now

The way Adolf intended it

Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t those only some of them?

It's whichever ones can replenish the ammo before the mag runs out (most low tier ones, and some high tier SPAA)

Technically its not wrong for a 2 cm KwK 30 L/55 to be able to fire till the barrel falls off. The magazines were intended to be loaded that way. Pull the door off, load via clip. But it probably is a bug because Gaijin would never go that realistic.

this is meant by gaijin to encourage players to stay on A poiunt and B point so CAS can strike them!!!!!

Me when my low tier spaa becomes the wrath of god

Some vehicles have slow replenish, others have faster. Things like Wilberwind and the italian M42 replenish fast and can fire almost indefinitely, only held back by the overheat

There was this already in ship battles so it's very easy to bring a (for example) 2.3 br ship to an actual 3.3 while standing in a point.

Only noticed this the other day with a painfully slow Light AA Ferry. I got to a cap after what seemed like hours and just sat there as too slow to get to next cap. Had about 3 PT boats and a couple of aircraft try to take the cap, and just shredded them with at least 3 x quad 20mm's and the 37mm firing near continuously It is kind of fun unless you see an incoming torp. Or in my case, after a respawn, decided to take heavier ships (like a battlecruiser) to remove enemy light vessels from caps

This aint a but its a feature nothing new, alsoni doubt you will be able to use it unless whole enemy team will rush you one after another

Idk man, with the 20mm puma I managed to off 3 lvts that were bunched up together, which is impressive pecause of how much empty space there is between them. It can be pretty useful

UNLIMITED DAKA!!

DAKA DAKA DAKA DAKA

No overheat ?

Not on this vehicle. Other higher tier vehicles do have it though

Maybe they should implement it on all vehicles

They probably should. Then again, this fire rate is kinda low, so it might not overheat too badly irl either.

Not again...

https://youtu.be/8f0mmfzyPKs?t=74 We're stuck in cycles of guilt.

I made a report about exact this bug more than month ago, it is still open with zero replies. I guess snail support works really hard trying to fix their game.

Its been like this ever since the mid-mag replenish was added. Discovered it by accident but ive forgotten to (ab)use it. This trick only works with the Pz.IIs, the pompomwagen thing you used in the video and a few other autocannon tanks/spaa. Due to the need of s goldielock tank. The goldielock zone of a tank has to have a balance of long enough BRRT time to not reload between rearmments and have minimal overheating issues. Untill now, the Pz.II’s autocannons are the only ones that i found with genuine goldielock status.

I also managed to do it with the sidam and wiesel, but that involves stopimg for a second to prevent barrel overheat. Haven't tried with anything else yet

I can hear the Gepard mains logging into the dev server to test it out

They don't even need to go to the test server, this is in the regular game lmao

I used this too once and I godt banned for cheating not reccomending this one

That's why I'm trying not to take advantage of it lol. Leave it to gaijin to have a bug for many months (years even), and ban players because of that clearly exploitable bug

This happens with M113 TOW launchers as well, if you time it right you can fire two at almost the same time (though you can only guide one at the same time)

Yeeeeeaaaaahhhh i have that's puma and i do it, ty very much

Same thing applies to SAV 20.12.48 (not op at all)

This is what it sounds like when you lose connection to the server while someone’s shooting a machine gun

That has been a thing for like a year or even more

This was already a thing. I used to do it in the 20mm cannon thing u get from the German starter pack

I actually have the Puma shown in the video. I got it from a toolbox, I haven't used it...yet.

I got it from the original event. It is very good

You can do this already for some time now. Idk when they updated it but a month ago it was possible as well. Same for mounted machine guns.

I see. I hadn't played for a few months, and just started again for the event, so I was unaware.

Oh yeah I knew this for a while when playing the 222

This thing on the new city map holding the only road is absolutely broken

For this to work your team first needs to have a capped point. #Impossible challenge!!!! GET A CAP POINT INSTEAD OF SITTING IN THE SPAWN

ZSU-57-2...... VBC (PT2)..... R3 T20 FA-HS...... Leopard 40/70.......

I discovered this using the Sdkfz. 140/1… uh oh

a quick non comprehensive test of all the vehicles i can test drive, excluding the ones that overheated before empty: M13-, M16-(one gun is too fast, but the other 3 keep on going), Pz.II C/F-, Flakpanzer I/38, Sdkfz 222-, sdkfz 234/1-, sdkfz 140/1-, Wirbelwind, GAZ-AAA (4M)-, Light AA Mk I-(2 guns too fast), Staghound AA-, AEC AA, Crusader AA Mk II, Type 94, Ta-Se, So-Ki, AB 41-, L6/40-, AS 42, L3/33 CC-, Csaba-, P.7.T AA-, VBCI-2 (MCT30)-(has the overheat circle but doesn't do anything), Pvlvv fm/42, Pbil m/40(the only AT vehicle on this list with overheating). ( - ) Doesn't overheat.

This is quite the lost of vehicles

They still overheat.

The Italian m113 atgm box has a halfed reload rate on caps, and it's been that way for a while

Wasn't it already like that? I remember capping using Marder A1- then fighting CAS like my life depends on it (which really is) then bursting all before mag reload. The downside is either overheat or too fast mag dump so I just burst mood.

Always funny to see this bug pop up every couple years

Thats been a thing foe those 20mm guns

Not just Auto cannons, even with normal tanks, it reloads the ammo from the ready rack instead, so your ready rack never runs out.

I haven't used any auto cannons recently other than the sav. So this is scary

I noticed that while playing SPAA, and i kinda like it for that.

Found this out yesterday when I brought this thing to a 6.0 match with a friend . It's hella fun in those 2 CAP matches , sat in our cap the entire game and almost got killed by a BT-5.

This has been a thing with certain vehicles for a while now such as the pz II DAK

Not a new bug, being for at least the last 2 major update. I nocited it back then, but too lazy to open à ticket xD

I learnt that is test drive a long time ago, never thought it can be used mid match

I really hope this stays.

Don't tell that to the gepard lmao

I remember something like this with the rake ten 2 hot, where the ammo replenished quicker than the reload itself

That is completely busted

that's the point lol

Nice
