It's an issue i've had come up multiple times, it's potentially vehicle related given my personal experiences but i can't confirm. Anyway, it's as the topic implies - my vehicle (tank in this case) will explode and I will have "Committed Suicide" with more than enough time left on the timer on screen.

example in a laggy match you might see
5.86
5.75
5.80
5.69
as it tries to count down but somehow rolls back and forth.
Regardless of what the timer says, you will die in the red line when you are supposed to, but the counter is lying to you.
CCP please fix this bug ! Here's a thought stay out of the red if you can help it! Think of it as a mine field, that you just don't want to risk your vehicles in. I should blow up at random just as if you hit a land mine in some cases.
In a perfect world the redline would be so far removed from the area of battle that this wouldn't even be an issue worth discussing. As is, and with the need to go into the redline to take out targets that can abuse its mechanics (rail tanks or snipers), we need a timer that actually work in game. In its current state the timer telling you how much longer you're supposed to have is not working and should be fixed.

In its current state the timer telling you how much longer you're supposed to have is not working and should be fixed. I think you are confusing needs with desires/wants. What is a sniper going to do to you as long as you are in your tank, nothing! The range on a rail gun tank is the same as the others get a real gun tank and that's that. P.S. Us a sniper fit to take out red lined snipers that's what the reset of us do, you don't need a tank to kill one guy do u? Get on the ground and point and shot.  Only thing that really needs fix here is insta death for getting on top of the MCC now that is BS.
Which has absolutely nothing to do with the timer being broken. If the intended design was that the redline would act like a "mine field" then there would be no need for such a timer to begin with, it's clear that the timer is there to gauge how much time you can spend in said zone and that timer is misleading in its current state.
The sniper example is for infantry who need to access the redline for X Y or Z reasons, there are certainly map layouts that allow a redline sniper to cover a point with ease and until such a time where the redline's safety can't be abused there will always be a need to venture into it in order to dispose of certain threats.

It's not nothing, it's a bug and this forum is dedicated to the reporting of said bugs. If, by your account, 20% of the time this is an issue then its still an issue that should be addressed in some form.
I didn't really make this thread to discuss the merits of the redline in the game.
