I'm sick and tired of being hit by enemies I cannot see when I would expect to see them if I was able to get out of the tank and sight them with the naked eye. Maybe the scale looks out to me, but it really takes away from the game.

I freakin HATE it when I start getting smashed by 3 tanks that are invisible to me. Seriously, this needs work.

It's annoying as hell when it happens, but at the end of the day this isn't a realistic simulation; it's just a game with a simplified spotting mechanic. And while not ideal, it's probably a heck of a lot better than something that displays all tanks at all ranges that leaves it down to how good your graphics card is, which is how most military shooters tend to work.

 

Learn to use the mechanics to your advantage and try to be the invisible tank that's making live hell for the enemy.

I don't LIKE it but it's a Part of the Game.

Really the MAPS aren't BIG enough to allow for full LOS battles.  As some Maps you can see almost the entire map from your Spawn.

So we end up with Spotting Mechanics, and cloaked Tanks that can appear from nowhere in the middle of a field.

 

As problems go, It's fairly LOW on the list that need Attention.

Yeah, it really is and I guess you're right... You make a good point. It'd be good to work out how it's done.

It mostly happens from tiers 5 to 7 and it happens fairly often. 3 games in tonight and I got hit by nothing again in a Luchs, which seems to have a decent enough view range. I took screenshots cause it pee'd me off. There's nothing anywhere and the one place I expect to get hit from is in the green circle.
