Description:
Machines sometimes shoot at you although the used weapon is pointing somewhere else. I usually experience this with harvesters (see photo) but some time ago I experienced this with runner also.
Since the harvesters still can do this I guess every machine can do this.
Steps To Reproduce:
Let an aggroed harvester turn away and shoot at you at the same time, although the missile assembly points in another direction.
Well, maybe. Not from a physical standpoint but from a gameplay one. The thing is, this bug affects all machines more or less. Runners, which are terribly agile also can point somewhere but still shoot at you.
I guess it’s the same bug. They know where you are so they can shoot you regardless of the weapon’s LOS.
The entire weapon assembly is hooked to a tank’s main body with a bearing joint that can rotate 360 degrees. That’s how.
It’s same as how regular tanks (e.g M1 Abrams) can shoot backwards, despite their main body facing forwards. The entire turret turns around to shoot backwards.
Took some doing but here's a screenshot
While tank is sideways towards me, it’s weapon assembly looks directly at me.
No no no no no, not 360. 180 at most… at least from my observation (I never saw the “head” of a tank facing backwards). Even on your screenshot it’s not even 90° to the right.
Since I forgot that I already opened a thread about incorrect shooting machines (thank you @Aesyle) I got an very obvious occasion the other day again. So I put the above mentioned plus the new one in a highly slowed down compilation. Have fun
