So that is why my tank kills never register ? I was wondering why that was...

Pretty sure if you DC from a game (quit, shut PS3 off, etc) all stats are recorded, suits you lost in game are lost, and all points you gained, SP and ISK, are lost. At least that's how it's been up until now as far as I know.

Oh if you kill someone it registers regardless, however the pilots often jump out and recall the vehicle so quickly that you won't get a kill. Happened a few times today, in the time it took me to fire another swarm (that would have been the killer), the tank was suddenly gone.

Pathetic.

And yes, any deaths (etc) that you have before logging off still register. My problem is the ones who are spraying a location with a sniper rifle, realise they have been scoped, jump into cover (or run around in circles) and log off.

correct

If you put a decent amount of damage on the tank they can't recall it until it's repp'd to a certain level. ATM as no tank can survive well against proto av in it's numerous forms, this will continue with the basic tanks on the field. This tank faggotry should stop when we finally get advanced tanks.

Until then paper thin tanks (ADV and proto av) will judge damage taken and run to recall. I hate tanks that run well into redline so u can't get the kill. Instead of using natural cover on the field and getting back in the fight

Yes but he is talking about logging off when things heat up, before you die.

Got logged off by downtime yesterday and got the suits i lost back from that fight, that is fair and unexpected from ccp tbh

For those complaining about vehicle recall, while it's annoying can I point you to insta swapping suits at supply depoys

Getting logged out by DT is different, nothing counts in the match when that happens. You could run all officer gear, die 100 times, and get it all back as long as the match did not end before downtime DCed you.

Pre-DT matches are different. There is no way that I am aware of that saves your vehicles, ISK, SP, suits or whatever if you leave a match (or get randomly DCed).

is ONE supply depot in each map.. is a bit different than " Do it everywhere you want "

The principle is the same, you can bet that if infantry could do the same they would every single chance they got, and if you made a vehicle user recall well then you've done your job and removed the vehicle from the field haven't you?

... Duck into cover and do an instant recall...

Yep, you are correct leukoplast, my problem is those who leave the match before they lose items/clones, when this looks like its going to be inevitable.

Edit: I believe what Nalhe is referring to is teams that leave a match just before it ends if it looks like they are going to be on the losing side. The match shouldn't be recorded on their Corporation stats from memory? Clones lost etc would still register of course.

I had some pathetic loser recall a free militia LAV on me today.

Sorry.. no... just no ...Get 20 kills, wait to you armor is about 50%, run away behind a building, recall you tank, and call it again 15 seconds later..that is broken, stupid, and another unbalance BS that CCP needs to fix.

As per subject line. Amazing how many sad cases in this game log off or recall their tanks when it suddenly looks like they are about to come under fire.

Sniper killed a few and doesn't want a death to spoil their KDR? Logoff

Tank been badly damaged when the enemy finally starts to shoot back? Duck into cover and do an instant recall.

Words cannot describe the contempt I hold you all in if you do this.

Don't bother telling me all snipers do that either - my main is a sniper and never logs off just because it looks like i've been spotted. Most don't in fact.

I know this was a problem in EVE, the term 'Logoffski' was coined there - rightly or wrongly the RA was blamed for creating this technique.

Personally I believe the new vehicle recall is a disease - make them wait 15 seconds or more and they may actually think about what they are doing. Infantry who log mid battle should lose their fit and have a kill recorded against them.

Now got that off my chest

The same bloody thing applies to infantry as well, seriously if the ranker recalls his vehicle it shows that the av on the field is too much to deal with, are you going to complain about pilots recalling dropships to stop them from being swatted out of the air air next? Seriously it's like there's one rule for infantry and another for vehicle users.

No, don't make them wait longer, make an RDV come out to pick up their vehicle.

That way you have time to try and destroy it before the RDV gets there, or quickly gather your squad to be ready when it comes, and then shoot it down on top of the vehicle for a double-kill.

I've been on both sides. I've had my dropship take a few hits, landed behind a hill, then recalled it.

I've also had tons of redline tankers killing me (and my dropships) then when I finally almost kill them, they get behind a hill and recall the tank THEN call it back on the field with full health.

If a vehicle is recalled, then called back in...shouldn't it have the same health it left with?

Basically what I had in mind with the 'wait' bit. A good idea.

Anyhow, I was feeling a bit irritated and decided to have a rant. All good now, bad players will exploit game flaws and good players will not. Such is life

Keep crying about the recall, I'll keep doing it, it's not going anywhere so it's pointless to complain, damn right I'm going to glass cannon you bunny hopping COD fanboys with my rail and call it quits when you switch to your easy mode swarm spam.
So keep hopping before you die and I'll keep turning a profit

It takes 15 seconds to get it on the field, it should take 15 seconds to get it removed.

Have you been playing? It only takes 5 seconds now or near instant to come drop of vehicles.

The same bloody thing applies to infantry as well, seriously if the ranker recalls his vehicle it shows that the av on the field is too much to deal with, are you going to complain about pilots recalling dropships to stop them from being swatted out of the air air next?

OH boo ******* hoo. so its ok for the guy goin 21-0 with his tank to "bail out anywhere" but the AV dude who sacrifices his primary gun plus denying himself of enemy infantry kills AND exposing his ass in order to take the tank, wherever by using an LAV (because an LAV its such a difficult target for a tank) or just running towards the damn thing (No main gun + running in the open= sitting duck) "well though **** son, better luck next time, oh btw that tank pilot its an HMG heavy. Enjoy dying in futility"

Spare me of your stupidy,

Also, switching out a suit at a supply depot doesn't instantly heal you anymore. I mainly play
a heavy so to heal up at a SD I have a scout suit with armor repair mods and shield regens set
up to switch into, to heal up faster. That can only happen at very specific spots on the map.

The vehicle recall... Broken as hell. I hate it when people get an instant save to their vehicle.
I put in work to kill your tank, you shouldn't be able to save it that damn easy.
It takes 15 seconds to get it on the field, it should take 15 seconds to get it removed.
And that should involve an rdv coming to pick it up as well.

Oh if you kill someone it registers regardless, however the pilots often jump out and recall the vehicle so quickly that you won't get a kill. Happened a few times today, in the time it took me to fire another swarm (that would have been the killer), the tank was suddenly gone.
