[0957] Kiowa unlimited rockets

[PatrickLA_CA]

Description:
When you select the flares (number 2) in the kiowa (the one with rockets though, only tested the one with .50 and rockets, didn't try it on the one with rockets only) and press the right click, you don't see anything but everyone outside the kiowa sees you firing hydras, that don't do damage, but it's scary, exploitable, and you can get banned for it, I got banned for it

Steps to Reproduce:
Get in a Kiowa on Kokan or Kashan (the maps I tried) and switch to the flars (number 2) and right click, but you will need someone to be outside, and he will tell you that you are firing rockets, but you won't be seeing anything (except a ban warning ).

Screenshots / Video:
None.

Tested On:
Kashan Desert, AAS-64 - BigD AU #1
Kashan Desert, AAS-32 - Unknown server
Kokan INS STD (or 64, however it is called) - Unknown server

Yea, i remember the same thing happening to me.I did selected flares and for some reason i kept my finger on the secondary fire button during warm up, seconds later everyone was screaming through team chat : wtf kiowa, wtf are you doing.Then i realised waht's going on and explained them.We had a nice laugh.I din't get banned for it lol.It is possible to do it with both kiowas.

isnt it a similar thing with the UH-60 miniguns? when your try to rotate them others already see you shooting. happened at least some times in vanilla to me.

When you're "spooling" the minigun it is actually shooting live projectiles. If I had a nickle for every time I had to ask someone to stop raping our own main......

I don't think you shoot live projectiles, maybe it's the same as the kiowa's, you see explosion, hear sounds, but nothing gets injured.

Haha I was there when you got banned
Those hydra rockets looked real so admin thought you were exploiting/glitching.

If you want you can appeal the ban click this link and follow the instructions:
If you have been Banned click me! - BigD Gaming Community

Yeah I appealed by email as it said on that link, thanks for the concern.. I tried to explain ingame what it was, but I shouldn't have done it too much in main base I guess , but my habit is right clicking when I know nothing would happen and that's why I get warned a lot of times for shooting when running when I am not shooting , you know that bug when you hold shift and right click with a weapon... and once it happened to me with HAT, which was when I got banned for asshating once cause they thought I shot the HAT in my feet...

So is anyone gonna look into this?
