Yeah, pretty much title. Why is that the case? happened to me countless of times so far, but just for an example of what happens either go to this replay, https://www.coh2.org/replay/107635/ostheer-vs-sov-on-langreskaya
or go to stream timestamp 29:30 > https://www.twitch.tv/videos/929280336

I'm really not sure what "issue" you're pointing out here. At least in the stream timestamp you posted the PAK appears to do exactly as its meant to.

Yeah now that I'm watching the replay myself, I think the PAK was supposed to take a spin because looks like I did ordered it to go further behind. However, I have experienced countless times that even when I just want to rotate the pak to get a different angle while standing where it stands, it just does a 360 turn. Which makes the shot come very late. That's what I am trying to say

It's possible you're asking it to set up a little too far away from it's current position, I suppose, so it's picking itself up, and then trying to wheel over to another spot before setting itself back up.

If not, I can't think what else might be wrong.

I am also confused based on this timestamp.

As you've just said, there are times where we issue directional orders directly ontop of the pak gun and we think they're alligned to the original position, I'm guessing here is the problem. Just going to assume that the the order is just ever so slightly off center and the engine thinks the best possible path is to move forward and circle back. Honestly you could basically chalk it up to pathing not being the best either.

Agree totally. Must be due to the state of pathing itself. The example I gave was not the most accurate to depict it though. Thanks anyway guys
