Last several days my friends and myself have seen increasing number of suspected cheaters/hackers. They can’t die, when you shoot them they only get an epileptic fit, or you only get white hit markers regardless of how many times you shoot them, instant headshot snapping, shooting you through buildings from the other side of the map, people under the map shooting up into the map, or like tonight, shot a plane down, but as he hit the ground his plane didn’t explode, instead it sat there for a good 30seconds to a minute, while I turned around and shot at him again. That is either a major bug or someone is cheating/hacking.
iPingo was his in game nick.

That sounds like spawn protection. If they spawned off a radio beacon and are still within the beacon territory recently, there do not take damage from shots, they only recoil immensely.
Yeah, this is more of a bug. Planes can sometimes not explode if they float down to the ground in the right way. If the plane lands on water though, it won’t explode due to the water physics acting like a net (assuming the water is deep enough that the plane never touches the ground before it’s snapped back).
This could be the bot A.I. in the game. Bots sometimes instantly snap to you and headshot you if they go into super revenge aggro mode. They shoot through certain structures if they are semi-permeable. Even if humans can not see through those semi-permeable builds, bots don’t care. They see those buildings as nothing more than glass.

Thanks @115565435, all valid statements, but could it be that they are bugs that might need some rebalance?
Just to note, the plane hit the ground in a nose dive, not water.
The white hit marker is something I saw while someone had been running around for a while and I was shooting them with a tank, but as you said could be the rally point proximity, would other rally points trigger the same effect if the team hadn’t spawned at it?
Thanks for the clarifications.

Please note I mentioned suspected cheaters, so the reason for the semi controversial heading is because the in game behavior, seems to be cheating and spoils the game experience. If it’s hacking(which it might not be), then someone has circumvented the anti-cheat and I would classify that as a bug of the intended function that the game is supposed to have.
If however someone didn’t cheat, then the items I listed here are bugs or game mechanics that might not be working as intended, and does require further investigation.
Also please could you point out where in the TOS it mentions cheating is not a topic for discussion, if I missed it I apologize.
But to attack my cognitive ability from your 1st post about my ability to read and comprehend something is not in anyway constructive criticism. In fact you are in breach of the TOS you mentioned as well.
Also to clarify for anyone here, I mentioned the guys/girls name here in the hopes that he/she might clarify what happened in that moment.

Have 300+ hours in the game and still to see my first obvious cheater. Must be super lucky
Not bugs, they’re intentional features we know of and we have been complaining about them for a long time.
I asked you a question, if you feel offended by that, it’s your problem, not mine.
Still wrong, none of these are bugs.

IT’S A BUG REPORT FORUM, NOTHING IN YOUR POST IS A BUG REPORT. Nor is this place for open conversation, we have the Mess Hall specifically for that.
And you’d be wrong.
The natural spawn points that exist on the map have spawn protection as far as I’m aware (at least against bullets, maybe not explosive type damage). I’ve spawned directly in front of a person with one once, and was invincible against all damage.
But this should only be possible in Assault and Invasion games, and only right after an objective is captured and the territory isn’t yet made into out of bounds for the enemy team.
Rally points also have spawn protection for like 10 seconds, just so you know.
I believe there is a vicinity element to the spawn protection as well. I know there is a timer, but I have died before quickly right after coming out of a point. So I believe vicinity to the spawn point can end the timer early.
Yeah it has limited range. If you stay next to it you’ll have for it a long time though.
This is not an area to report cheaters, this is an area to report bugs. There is a function in game to report players, please do utilize it, we greatly appreciate your assistance in dealing with those players.
To those who made inflammatory comments, please take this as a warning aod do not make such comments, even on topics such as this. It is inappropriate and not allowed by any stretch.
