    I know I should have more details, but sadly I do not. I'll give you what I can.

    I was also made to promise not to tell about this bug, but my sense of duty made me break said promise. Sorry.

    I was playing (i can't believe I'm not 100% sure on the name) valley, you know, the one with the huge sattelites and the three res nodes at the top and the damn at the bottom?

    Basically, on BE, another player was an engineer and kept spawning AFVs, NOT anything else, (i tried spawning other things and AFVs and I couldn't recreate the bug). Don't know how he managed it.

    The tanks were literally the size of a model's head. Not one foot high, I swear. They had CRAZY acceleration, faster then a 3 phase jeep. He apparently could fire their weapons, and we messed around with them alot. Whoever got in couldn't get out but could switch seats, you always saw a wierd driver's HUD on it--blue with a bunch of dials and crap (never driven the AFV yet, so I don't know if that's supposed to be there). He spawned the tanks, and I got in, then we promptly crashed the vehicles. They didn't explode when they got flipped over, either, but they disappeared when abandoned fairly quickly. They would rocket out of the VF and their speed caused them to shoot up into the air at the slightest bump, then crash. I could fire out of the f2 position as per normal, but when I switched seats to the driver, I couldn't fire the weapons.

    I had a screen shot, but i foolishly erased it. Again, sorry I couldn't provide any more details. You'll have to ask the guy i was with. He was in one of the Empires clans, but I can't remember who.

    the HUD you saw was the aircraft hud...
    Also you sure it was an AFV and not an APC? (miniAPC)

    That's an aircraft, it's a very very VERY early version, and should not be used during gameplay.

    1. It may crash server.
    2. Different scale is needed to fly safely.

    And the scale setting is not in the test server's dll as far as i know, although i've used it in a newer one. It's weird seeing a huge barracks and CV.

    Well, technically it is. The bug is "Aircraft can still be built"

    Don't build aircraft, or you'll be playing without them in the full release.
