Sudden commander death

[stupor-mundi]

This just happened to me again, riding the 'new' T34, and it had happened a few times before, rarely, over a longer period.

You ride around sort of recklessly, with the open hatch, and I have the head position adjusted to be as high as possible.

Without any audible explosion, and in a location on the map where I know there are no paks etc. suddenly the commander is dead.

First I think maybe someone has jumped into the comm. position and check, but no.

Then I think maybe I got bombed somehow with the audio dead, so I turn 180 deg. looking for a bomb crater, but nothing.

 

In the end I can't help wondering if maybe some physics of riding around are being modeled, where the commander is injured in the course of looking out of the hatch, while the tank is driving cross country?

 

Did anyone else experience this?

 

I know this sounds dumb, but I'd like to get to the bottom of it, since some possible adjustments/changes might result. For instance, if it were confirmed that commander health is being modeled with respect to the physics of cross country riding, I could adjust the head position and so on.

 

I've often seen the health of crew members reduced when bumping into invisible trees, but usually the damage is more gradual and averaged out, with multiple crew members going yellow, instead of just the commander going red and everybody else green.

It happened to me a few times some time ago.But im pretty sure it was an HE round from the AT gun.

Not death by vodka?

Haven't experienced this one. I have seen my gunner, loader and commander sometimes have yellow damage out of nowhere outside of any engagements when I press enter and see the tank modules. Are you absolutely sure you weren't fired upon? There are still sound bugs in the game and I have taken hits without any sounds  occasionally. SOmetimes bumping into obstacles can injure the crew as well especially the driver and radioman.
