Fun with the T80

Recommended Posts

Hi,

This is in no way the most useful information available, but hey... most posts are often stupid to some extent.

The other day I was having a LAN game, just me and a friend, and I was amusing myself ramming his URAL truck with my T80, when all of a sudden the T80 I was in flipped over totally and ended up, upside down...

Instead of getting out, I thought "hmm what happens when I go to Manual fire mode, then fire". heh and damn it was hilarious. For some reason the tank DOES NOT fire, it just launches the vehicle along the ground at an extremely high velocity... doing so near a cliff or mountain gets it airborne... and if you manage to land the tank back on its tracks... no harm done but a hell of a lot of laughing.

Also, if you switch to the gunner position and rotate the turret in the opposite direction you want to move, then back to drivers seat, Manual fire, then fire... it will steer the tank in the direction you want to go... So you can pretty much drive around the whole of everon if you really wanted, inside an upside down T80, faster than a Ferrari.

Have a go, its lots of fun, until BI catch on... and fix it.

Well it happened to me too I also wrecked a Ural FILLED with troops.

But i went out of the tank sad.gif And took a screenshot at 2 flippin MB's used the damn BMP format.

T-80 was fine but not the Ural (one of the enemies had his head tucked through the roof) And what was more fun was when that UAZ that escaped came down the road.

I hide under the broken URAL with my PK and just layed down a heck a lot of fire on that UAZ.

I also had this bug in Red Hammer campaing, in the mission called 'Alamo'. I disabled Abrams with mine, killed crew, drove repair ural and fixed Abrams... Then jumped in a middle of combat to gunners seat, turned the turret to the house, and before I noticed I was upside down...

When I jumped out, I got killed cause the Abrams jumped over me... biggrin.gif That wasn't fun...

i did it on that big fjord thing on malden. I jumped the clif to the other side and flipped. I used the manual fire and it lauched me about a mile and a half out to sea. I've been able to do it multiple times.
