Tow able AAs move when firing after being unhitched

Product: Battlefield V
Platform:Sony Playstation 4
Please specify your platform model. Sony PlayStation 4
Which part of the game is the issue happening in? Multiplayer
Which part of the mode? Conquest
Please select your region North America
On which server did this happen?
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm)
Summarize your bug After the most recent patch tow able AAs will begin to move in the opposite direction of where you are firing.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Fire the tow able AA while not hitched to anything.
What happens when the bug occurs? The AA will begin to move and if on a slope will continue to move.
What should be happening instead? The AA should stay in place.

Noticed this a few nights ago. The AA will begin to move from the force of firing the gun while not hitched. This makes aiming next to impossible. This is something that was changed in the most recent patch.

    This has been finally fixed!!! Tried last night and am glad to report that the tow able AAs no longer bounce and drift around when being used.

    Had this a lot on Panzer storm where the AA guns just roll away and i cant do anything with them lol. Deploy and they just take off and roll away. They need to anchor in properly.

    Bit like the 6 Pounders on the hills of Narvik are ... if you fire at their support legs they will roll away.

    Now that you brought that up I would like to add to the report that deploying tow ables has been an issue on slopes. They will start sliding around so it makes it hard to get it in position where you want it. I know someone on the main forum suggested that soldiers should be to manually move the turret to face another direction. I would like to see this but it should be a slow process and also you should only be able to do this on pieces that are tow ables and not ones that can be built or are pre-built.

    Yep! This is very frustrating. Set up a cannon on Panzerstorm and ended up rolling all the way down the hill right into range of a bunch of enemies and was facing the wrong way with no vehicle nearby to turn me around.

    Saw the other day on Panzerstorm Breakthrough, after taking the first sector, a whole wad of tow able cannons in a ravine.

    For some reason this issue started occurring after a patch because at launch these behaviors were not happening.

    This still occurs after the most recent patch.


    Was not aware of the release of the patch earlier today (4/4/19), however this still occurs after patch 1.14 causing tow able stationary weapons to become next to useless. AA guns will drift down hill while screwing with your aim and field guns shake and shift if a tank nearby is engaging or a bomb goes off. As stated before this was NOT the case when the game launched and is a major issue that has yet to be addressed.
