Summarize your bug When ever you get a bit wild with the tanks in this game and fly over dunes and hills it can happen that the barrel gets stuck, 100% stuck zero movement. Have to leave the tank and re-enter or any other event that triggers it to update or w/e.
How often does the bug occur? Rarely (0% - 9%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Crash over hills, dunes, have crash to the ground. Not sure if it's a specific angle to side of the tank that needs to be hit. I did notice when it gets stuck it's basically in it's lowest position. Noticed it mostly on Caspian Border and Hourglass
What happens when the bug occurs? Barrel of the tank get's stuck and cannot be moved
What should be happening instead? Barrel should follow the aim of the player

    @doubleome Tank barrels have been broken one way or another since launch.
    Changing from 3rd to 1st person does nothing to fix it for you?

    I have issue when barrel gets stuck in certain position while in 3rd person(usually pointing to the sky), then I have to change to first person to get it "unstuck".
    It happens when I get close to an object and barrel corrects itself over the object, but then it stays like that. It's not a rare bug either, it happens every match multiple times in a round.

    There's also that old bug when the center of the screen "decouples" from the crosshair in first person and then I also have to get out of the tank and reenter to fix it. Not sure if this is the same thing you're talking about since there is some movement (albeit limited), but you state it's 100% stuck.

    @mimi0xi Sounds a lot like what you are describing but was never sure if it was a vehicle disable or not, the issues with the barrel at least. This time I was 100% sure it was a bug, 100% stuck.

    Usually just furious when this stuff happens because it’s always when you don’t want to so never get a clear picture of the issue haha

    This time it was out of combat.

    Have also had the throttle get stuck in reverse a few times, tank just races max speed nothing stops it, after a few secs it’s fixed.

    @doubleome Yes I get the same stuck in reverse bug all the time as well, people have already made threads about it, devs don't care.
