The Underground Mission Critical Tank

[ProbablyLose]

The dreaded underground mission critical tank bug doesn't happen often but when it does it is always on mission 3 of a multi-part mission chain.

Damn, that's still an issue?

Curious if you're using mods or running Vanilla.

If you are using YAML a kill command was added recently for this reason. Target the tank then press Ctrl+Shift+K.

In 500+ hours, I think I only had this happen once very early on after Steam release.
I had tons of 90% submerged turrets though but that got less over time.

Funny though that it's still a thing. My anecdote and the amount of reports of this still happening shows once again how MW5 is truly a king of inconsistency lmao.

Same, I havn't had it happen since the first big patch.
Though everytime a tank gets stuck waaaay away on some rock I fear it's happened again lol

Yeah that, that actually still happens pretty often to me aswell to this day. Them getting stuck on some rocks etc.

Happened to me recently in a single mission. Reloaded to mission start and everything went smooth. Only visible bug I witnessed in 120 hours.

It's only happened to me twice, and as I say in my post, both times were on mission 3 of a chain. I am running the YA series of mods with Mod Options, MW5 Compatibility Pack, and HeatGauge. That's everything. I wish I had known about Ctrl-Shift-K last night! Thank you for that. Reloading to mission start didn't fix it for me in either instance. As for turrets I have encountered once in an Infiltration mission a turret that was buried in the side of a hill, it could shoot me, but I couldn't shoot it. But fortunately it wasn't a game stopper. I restarted and avoided it.

300 hours in Mechwarrior 5 so far (since the Xmas sale...man, I need a life )...
200 of those hours were Vanilla, not a single underworld unit.
est. 50 hours were 3 DLC, and I was seeing underworlders at least once a night, if not once every ten missions.
Last 50 hours, post Rasalhague, not more than once a night for underworlders, but still not NOT happening.

Posted threads about this, got everything from "Never happened to me" to "Every third mission" responses.

The only consistent thing about this game is inconsistency.

...and Jump-Jet equipped enemies using their jets for no tactical reason.

Hmm, installed YAML suite. New career. First mission I got an underground tank blocking my progress. Coincidence?

Interesting.
Never tried YAML myself.
Ran merctech for a good long while and finally stopped to update the game and try RoR, now waiting for merctech to be updated

I agree lmao I have it happen on 50% of my multi missions and it got so annoying I just stopped taking them.

Yes I also think it's somehow related to the mod, or something the mod does. I can't seem to recall it happening in vanilla, I'd have to go back in and check and that could take a while...

Vanilla, happened recently as in a few days ago on warzone mission, lucky it happened after extraction. 1 light tank just free fall underground. No mod installed.

Total experience probably happened 3-4 times total. It soft locked me once on defense mission.

I just had a new variation on this one happen.. an underground VTOL! In this case it wasn't mission critical though.

Well that's a new one... damn I think you rolled snake eyes on that.

Never had a Veet underground, but the best mis-spawn I had was a Scorpion tank spawned between two mounds of rocks in a way that his barrel was out, and could shoot as you walked by, but he couldn't move. Had to kill the barrel to kill the tank.
