Please stop Tank sights, AT Guns sticking to Trees and other obstacles

Please change how gun sights can sometimes stick to trees, lampposts, tank traps, it is crazy how an enemy tank can sit behind and I can snipe them and they can snipe me, when it is nearby and blocking the actual gun sights I get it, but when nothing around me and I aim at a tank in the distance who happens to be by a tree, it is very very frustrating, I wouldn’t mind if the tree blows up, then I could aim!

Could you provide a picture?
It sounds a bit like the parallax effect between sights and barrel. (Again)

Easy to reproduce, go on practice mode, find some tree, point gun near tree, you will see. It happened during a Match on Fortified District this morning, the forested area, second objective.

I am working, but see if I can produce pic later

You can’t move the aim from the tree or other objects I’m correct?

If you mean this:

Then it’s simply a parallax effect

No, I have done a Video, to demonstrate it, I didnt chose the best tree granted, you will see the sight of the tank “stick” to palm tree…

Even clearer example in practice, watch the T of my gun sight on the post…

So from what I see the game is basically jumping between:

  • both sights and gun aiming at the wooden post
  • sights aiming behind the post but gun aiming at the post due to the parallax effect

I’m not sure if anything can be done with this. The only solution would be to remove parallax effect all together by placing the sights (camera) inside the gun.

Tank on console haven’t the aim assist to? Probably is recognize the object as target and stick on him despite the camera of the players is moving

To clarify, it is certain trees and obstacles, it is very annoying nothing to do with parr whatever… it doesn’t happen all the time, some trees are fine, but tank traps are absolute worst!

Looks like a book example of parallax.

not all tree mate just some, yes tank traps, berlin maps worst…

Probably some but not all objects (some trees, some bushes etc.) are “transparent” for the penetration marker so it goes through them.
At least that’s my guess.

Well I’m goin test it right now, just the time to boot up the PC to see if is global or just playstation problems

And is it, do the same with different tank in the same spot of the practice field

wait they do that?

Any tank does it, tank wrecks the T jumps, tank traps T jumps, if a tank is perpendicular to my tank sight, both the tree or whatever and tank is right behind, distance difference is mere feet, it should not do this…

Actually the closer you are to the object/obstruction, the worse this effect gets.

Indeed it doesn’t do this with distant targets just at close range

please try on Fortfied district as axis, point at forest on second objective or tank traps from first objective (distance) it still does it. if close by you could argue tha parrallax thing as the sight might be blocked close up. Does this happen on PC as well?
