APC (usually LAV) TK problem.

[dtacs]

Description:
sometimes the LAV driver will get a TK message saying they teamkilled an infantryman who is close (or sometimes ages away) from the apc. it sometimes happens when someone is on a ladder near the apc too.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. get a LAV on muttrah and go to the construction site.

2. get your driver (crewman) to bail out and climb the crane, and park around the bottom.

when the gunner tries to autoslide down the 2nd ladder on the crane, he will instantly be killed, saying you TKd him.

this also happens sometimes when people are under bridges in A1-2-3-4 on fallujah. (it can essentially happen ANYWHERE)

i waited till a full squad de-bus'ed from my LAV on fallujah and was 50M+ away, and still killed a guy thanks to this.

Screenshots / Video:
none, not really much point as it can happen at any time while in the apc, and anywhere really.

Tested On:
BigD servers, server 2 ive only experienced it on.

Video Settings (if needed):
nothing visually wrong at all (except its like theres a huge invisible box, an extention of the LAV if you will, like 100m ahead. its confusing, but im sure you'll experience it one day.

how bizarre

this bridge = instant death to all who go under it. APC drove over the top while some were under it and resulted in TK's and then 3 minuets later after the APC had driven off another member went down to attempt to revive but also got TK'ed.

Im now scared to go anywhere near this bridge and just taking this SS had me shaking in my socks

I was there to witness that and coined the term bridge troll

Something similar happened on Jabal the other day. No real details I can give you.. Sorry.

I'm not sure if this is the same thing, but on Kashan desert in the Mec BMP something similar happened. MY team mate was completely idle and an ally ran into the crack of the supply boxes at the supply depot... My team mate got a tk for it. The guy ended up doing it again when we were well gone (like 1 km) and my team mate got a TK again.

Yes, thats it.

Its my assumption that its a coding error, not a visual glitch etc. etc.

Could be one of those unexplainable bugs though....
