Can't move M1A2 turret on Khamisiyah

On Khamisiyah when my driver got killed outside the tank and I was bringing the tank to his FOB we couldn't get the turret to move any more. Yes, we waited for 30 (and a lot more). We repaired a bit from the logi repair station which did not help. We RTB'ed and repaired there but the turret was still tracked. We switched to another tank in main and that tank was glitched as well. Same for other SQ members.

Since you had the same problem with another tank in main that hadn't been used yet, it sounds like there was something else going on. Remember that python checks for a driver before allowing a gunner to operate the turret... so make sure a driver is in the position and maybe wait for 30-60 seconds, then have a second person get in the turret (while keeping a driver in the driver seat). It's very possible that since you were in the turret alone when your driver died that something went buggy, but that wouldn't explain the same thing happening in a different tank.

I just couldn't use the bmp2 turret after switching from driver to passenger (to let my sq member drive) and then to gunner. We re entered the bmp2 and worked fine. Happened on Khamisiyah too.

Happened both times I did tank now. First time I get into a tank the turret was already unlocked, second time it was 30s warm up time and 3rd time it was jammed. On Silent Eagle the turret was already unlocked the first time I jumped in and the second time there was 30s warm up time. Something fishgy is going on.

Make sure the DRIVER enters first and let us know if that helps. Then the gunner can enter. Also, avoid switching from driver to gunner because the python script may think you are one-manning the vehicle.
