Replay request for the Infrared Halftrack bug

I was wondering whether somebody could point me to a replay involving the the OKW IR halftrack bug. You know, the one where the unit breaks and enemy squads become permanently visible until they die (or the match ends).

Alternatively, I would like to know how to precisely trigger this bug. From what I have seen it has something to do with scanning the enemy squad while they are in combat, however I am not sure.

Thanks, and cheers.

You have a great idea that improves the QoL aspects of the game? Please, drop your idea here:

I have no replay but I bet it has to do with the mechanic of being revealed in the fog of war when in combat. Maybe if you scan a unit (for the first time) that has this (revealed due to firing (like mortars)) flag on it, it becomes permanent or the flag only decays during the timespan of the IR-HT scanning it.

I know it has to be something like that. However, if I don't know exactly how to trigger the bug, I have no way of testing whether a particular bugfix could work

IIRC:

1- Vision: retreat/scan while suppressed.

2- Locked laser: force the HT to move by issuing orders with other vehicle.

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.

Laser? I don't think they have laser, you must mean spotlight.

T34/76 is NOT a joke on my hands; Maybe on your hands you make it suck shit? but on me, No. I can kill a stug with a little micro, go toe to toe with a Panzer 4. Is it a joke? LOL T34/85 is apparently a very good tank. But no one says it "one hit wipe" or elefant penetration; up to a point i think this little medium tank just have too much health and too much firepower with that fuel cost.

The light of this spotlight is infrared, nothing to do with lasers.

Thx! The cancer-light bug triggers when the following 3 hold at the same time:
- Your squad is suppressed
- While being scanned
- And retreats while being fired upon by an MG

Sadly, I know of no way to fix this D:
