What happened to this b4 (see vid)?

Something is really strange about the B4 artillery. I used it's anti tank ability today against a tiger and got the weirdest outcome. The video below illustrates this problem:

sec 15 the ability is ordered and the 180 muni cost is subtracted
sec 18-19 the muni cost is credited back
sec 19 a shell is fired but hits the ground (what the heck?)

So there are 2 weird things going on, the muni cost for the ability being credit back and the shell hitting the ground instead of the target. Anyone see this happen before or know why?

Thanks

The shell never actually tracks the target like it should. Don't use it against a moving target or you will miss and waste a shit load of munitions

I have never used the direct fire ability successfully

Thanks for the feedback, so the b4 anti tank ability is bugged, the tank must sit still for the ability to work? That leaves the part about the muni credit unexplained though.

Yeah the B4 is buggy as hell, that's half the difficulty in using it. Sometimes it looks like it fires, but I don't see the shell land. Sometimes I'll try to use the AT Ability but the shell never fires and the Mun gets refunded, and the animation is very buggy which makes it very hard to tell when it's about to fire.

It's neat that they added it to the game, but it was obviously not intended for player use.

As far as I know (I haven't used it for myself yet) the B4 can shoot at moving tanks while they're in the B4's radius.
But the rotating and aiming time is very very long so it will take a while until it actually shoots.
The video however seems to show a bug.
As DarthBong stated before the B4 is bugged as hell.
Sometimes it rips apart all the tanks, sometimes it doesn't do a single shot.

Targeting ground just like TWP of paks.

My controls weren't working
And if they were, you were playing dishonorably,
And if you weren't, you were playing without skill,
And if you were, it's not fun to play that way,
And if it is, you only care about winning.

Bible of Scrublord, Psalt 3:16.
