Summarize your bug Was defending on Panzerstorm. When we lost the first flag I started driving my Churchill tank out of the zone at full speed. Before I could get to the new zone - the old zone became "Out of Bounds" and I did not have enough time to get into the new zone. I was NOT sitting around in the old zone harassing etc. I left IMMEDIATELY and was not given enough time to retreat.
How often does the bug occur? Occasionally (10% - 49%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play game.
What happens when the bug occurs? Put "out of bounds" without opportunity to retreat.
What should be happening instead? SHOULD be able to stay in old zone as long as you want or until you're killed.

    They changed this back in BF1 so that you're auto killed. Otherwise, people will camp in the previous sector. The prime example is Monte Grappa when players were literally camped in the B bunker and it took forever to progress the game. You do get 1 minute to retreat + 9 seconds of out of bounds. I did request, however, that the in-bounds for the next sector overlap with the previous sector, because the distance is too long: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Game-Information/Sector-1-Day-2-Battle-of-Hannut-Retreat-Too-Long/m-p/7590598#M5791

    @SterlingARCH3RThere definitely needs to be ENOUGH TIME to retreat. That is ridiculous. I'm fairly certain it was less than 1 minute as I was in full retreat from the moment we lost it.

    @SterlingARCH3RI've confirmed that this CANNOT be a game design issue. Was defending on Arras Breakthrough today. The SPLIT second that we lost the sector I was placed out of bounds had had 8 seconds to try to get into bound.

    I DIED. Game is broken.

    I'm not sure what's going on, but I just played Breakthrough on Arras and the 1 minute retreat is there. Maybe it's a different bug or something else altogether. I did notice, however, that there's a patch of territory in between sector 1 and sector 2 that belongs to neither team during the retreat. That patch of land should belong to the Defenders for retreating purposes only.

    Was defending on Panzerstorm again and the same thing happened. Did NOT have enough time to retreat from the Zone. I was in full retreat from the MOMENT we lost the sector. There SHOULD be enough time to make a retreat. It's RIDICULOUS!

    This type of bug (or bad design) encourages players to start retreating the moment there are enemies on the flag. SUCKS!

    A bug that is connected to this is when you choose the random spawn location you can be spawned into a zone that is under retreat and you have no way of running back before you get instantly killed. Cant they have it so that aslong as you run towards the zone the coundown timer slows down?

    @KjeilenYes that sounds like an excellent idea! This has to be addressed as it is game breaking to force people to retreat the moment there are enemies on the flag.
