Interesting theory-need to verify. The thing is, even if this is turns out to be true, it would obliviate the whole point of damage indication (being as I understand it) to give the target a chance to face the threat.
@Real_NoobalishusThat was my original theory as well but as @II__SUSHI__II mentions - it completely voids the notion of damage direction indication and makes the system useless. I think that when a soldier gets hit - you have a very small hit box to have your direction detected. I expect they have the same very small hitbox on the tank and it's right on the front of the tank. SO if you get hit anywhere but the very front - it will show side or back as where you're getting hit from.
Definitely needs to be fixed because it's useless as-is.
I also sometimes get this when on foot as well still.
I get this on foot all the time. I find the game is now unplayable due to this issue. I'd prefer the marker not to be there at all now
