Misaligned coax on spawned BMPs

Post by =TDC=Raph »

Hello everyone.

I noticed a minor bug/glitch while playing in coop and using rcon commands to spawn BMP1s and BMP2s:
when you die while in your vehicle and spawn another vehicle (with suffix "_bf2"), the coax machinegun is misaligned, by quite a few degrees (NOT the usual cross-misalignment due to distance!*), often even out of sight when zoomed, and in one instance out of un-zoomed sight.
Main gun is always ok.

* not the same as

I've recorded the last instance when it happened (Russian BMP2 on Grozny, Inf layer):

You can see it shooting 2/3 to the left and perhaps slightly higher than where it should.

Steps to reproduce:
- play coop (may be present even in MP; I couldn't know)
- use rcon to spawn a BMP1 or BMP2 with _bf2 suffix
- get rekt while inside the vehicle
- spawn another BMP and enter into it
Half of the times (not always, though) the coax will be misaligned.

Happened in:
- Al Sbeneh - Alt (fsa_ifv_bmp1_bf2)
- Assault on Grozny - Inf (mil_ifv_bmp1_bf2 and ru_ifv_bmp2_bf2)
- Temelin - Inf (mil_ifv_bmp1_bf2)

Tested if can reproduce with other vehicles than the BMP1 or BMP2s, without success.
- Al Basrah - Std (gb_apc_warrior_bf2); 3 tries, no problems.
- Al Sbeneh - Alt (fsa_tnk_t62_bf2); 3 tries, no problems.
- Assault on Grozny - Std (ru_ifv_bmp3_bf2); 3 tries, no problems.

Solutions tried:
- exit and re-enter the newly spawned vehicle, w/no avail
- spawn another one (of the same kind); it will have the same problem

Other rcon commands used:
- oneman

Sorry for the verbosity and extra details; just trying to be as helpful as possible.
