As I mentioned in this thread ( https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/Cannot-fire-off-ability-2-star-card-on-most-tank-classes/m-p/7996479#M24088 ) just now:
I can't confirm this yet, although I finally decided to change my upper ability key bind after years of playing with it set to '2' since SWBF2015 because of other reasons, but I still didn't play with the AAT to test the solution it was given to me.
It seems that the key '2' isn't working for the Upper Ability of the AAT (Trade Federation's Tank), so you must use another key as the upper ability for it to work. If you could test it and come here with the result that would be awesome, but I'll try it out when I decide to play some CIS in GA or CS.
Also, you said Tank Class, so I suppose the new Republic Tank also suffers from this issue? Because in the past only the AAT would suffer from this BUG in the Armor Class. Neither the two AT-STs nor the two AT-RTs ever had this issue.
If anyone can try it out and come with the solution that would be great
Hello everyone!
As you might have seen, this thread is a mess now. I've combined in total 4-5 threads into this one, as people all describe this bug differently and create new posts.
It seems that a lot of players are experiencing this issue and have problems with the 2nd ability of tanks, including myself. It has been 1.5 years, maybe a good time for the devs now to look into this and patch it @EA_Ataashi
Thank you all for taking your time to report here!
So after years of reports the issue STILL exists. I would be embarrassed at this point if I were EA.... I would suggest they ask for community assistance since apparently EA cannot deal with a little bug themselves.
@kezi9
You're right, this is Yet Again Another Day 1 BUG Never Solved.
The only way to properly use the AAT's (and TX-130's) Upper Ability on PC is to not set its key binding to the key '2'. I use 'R' and it works (despite 'R' being hardcoded for Weapon Recharge, so whenever that's available and I press the button, both my middle ability and weapon recharge trigger at the same time. Tanks don't have weapon recharge functionality, so it doesn't affect them).
And I agree with you they must remodel their business, but until we stop giving them money, they'll never do that. I didn't buy Jedi Fallen Order nor Squadrons, 2 games I would buy if it wasn't for the mishandling of Battlefront II by EA (and all the other mess on other games/projects I've came to know about due to the mishandling of SWBFII). The rest of EA's library doesn't interest me, and after what transpired here, they became even less interesting to me.
