Am I going nuts? (appearing tanks out of nowhere)

[Spude]

I dont really know how to explain this other than pointing out my anecdotal evidence of enemy tanks appearing somewhere around me from a place that I just checked like second or two so using the free look. With many of them being tanks that arent highly mobile to just come around corner like a race car.
Its like game just then decided to render the damn thing.
Has this happened to anyone else?

[Krapfen]

yes, and something like that should NOT be allowed to happen even once...

[Krapfen]

it even happened to me that tanks disappeared which i could clearly see, and they were still fighting and killing teammates

[LINO]

Yes, but it was so much worse like a year ago and cuz of that i stopped playing until end of this summer

[Narf]

Yeah, happens every once in a while. I've also had situation where the game could not decide whether or not it should render the enemy tank, with it blinking in and out of existance about once every second. And I'm positive that was not an issue on my end.

[Spude]

Sheesh, seems like Gaijin still got some fixing to do.

[Waryth]

It is normal.

This is War Thunder's counter to Ultra Low Quality users that they are able to spot tanks from miles away even through foliage. In order to fix it, they had the similar thing of detection radius in order to spot someone and relies on crew skills. Therefore expect jumpscares when your crew haven't detected an enemy tank near you.

War Thunder is starting to become World of Tanks with this detection system.

[Themask]

You maybe should stop playing World of Tanks then

I think you are confusing AB's spotting with the actual rendering of the tank. Those are completely different things. I play RB only, thus I never deal with spotting, and I've seen tanks being rendered in and out with my own eyes.

I use ULQ because my computer can't handle the normal settings and this also happened to me with a tiger that was pretty close to me. I play RB.

Have you considered you just didnt see them. It happens quite a bit to me where i take a quick look around a corner or at something and see nothing but then suddently appearently a maus was there.

Like I said: I have watched tanks being rendered in and out. Visible one second, invisible the next. It's rare, but it does happen.

I stopped playing ARK. Believe me my computer can't handle it. I would just endure 15 fps because I liked the gameplay.

I have considered this but I was looking straight at it and it didn't render for 5 seconds.

[OkIES]

Playing on Highest setting i started to notice the tanks rendering and derendering a lot lately. I was looking at a guy that was behind a bit of a hill, he backed up a slight bit and the entire tank vanished. He moved forward and his tank reappeared... this Is not a good thing gajin... if he saw me at any point he would have had an advantage over me with his vanishing tricks lol..

[orgonzed]

Been killed a few times by tanks that appear from nowhere recently. Very annoying!
