Wall hacks or bad code?

[Madao888]

Just had a game where a rank 1 tank shot me through 2m of solid rock, couple of days ago a shot went through at least 2 walls of a building. Back when I stopped playing in 2013ish it happened once or twice so I was wondering if its losers or just gaijin.

I have seen this happening a lot lately. I was shot several times through very solid rocks that I could not shoot through. I had someone snipe me from across the map through 4 boulders with no line of sight.

There's a lot of objects that you can shoot through because they have incorrect hitboxes.

Just because you're visually protected it doesn't mean the hitbox actually does the same.

Also, it's possible to shoot through destructible walls.

Honestly the janky hitboxes are one of the many reasons why tank gameplay is bad as far as I'm concerned.

Flip a coin, its Gaijin.

Probably just someone that has enough map knowledge to know what they can shoot through, on some maps you can shoot through entire building.

Bad map geometry. Gaijin says they'll fix it in that big ol roadmap they put out

Cheers guys, I can live with bad hit boxes being exploited, at least that is the same for everyone, if WT was rife with cheaters i would drop it for good.

Also be aware that the kill camera does not show the arc of the rounds flight eg(unless it's been changed recently, although it doesn't look like it), it just shows the round directly flying in a straight line from the tank that fired it so that can make it look like the round went through solid scenery etc..

wonky map design probably.. ill tell you what i hate... ghost shells

I sometimes notice that I see wall people don't see.
For example, they litteraly go through props that I litteraly see, but they apparently don't touch anything.
I know that the killcam is also not accurate.

Hit boxes and graphics mapping / framing of objects are not the same ( unfortunately ) so just because we think we are "behind" something and can't be hit doesn't mean we are...

Although if something renders in for one person and not the other that doesn't mean it's not solid for both, the game's actual map and objects don't change how solid it is because of people's views of it... it's still there, still solid... if people see the graphics for it or not.

Sometimes I think I am hidden but my exhaust or antenna give me away. sometimes I shoot enemy when all I see are their exhaust or antenna. Some of these guns lob shells rather then flat trajectory.

Game is full of cheaters. Unplayable.

Was gonna parrot this out. Shots don’t arc in the killcam, so a derp gun in particular can be seen going right through things that it actually went over. Can also lead to misleading angles in the penetration indicator of the shell angled down over time while flying.

It’s really not. Can be some, but comparatively to many other multiplayer games, this one has a pretty low rate of cheating. I’ve spotted a few I definitely knew had cheats, but that’s like 4 players in 2000 hours.

Not true at all... are there cheaters? Yes... "full of cheaters"? No... definitely playable.
