Enemy ships starting off in very odd places? Like right next to you....

[Captain_Azmond]

Hello,

Just had a game where the enemy CV started on our side, like one hex away from my DD. 

 

The enemy chat started with OMG, can you see our CV, game over. None of us could, until the battle started; I hit max speed and as soon as my torps "Fubuki" were ready; dead CV. He had just started moving....actually felt guilty for doing it.

 

Has this happened to anyone else? The enemy team were crazy mad....I also caught flack for sinking him. Yeah Karma....

[Lert]

In 2500+ matches since live and all the hundreds before I've not seen this. Screenshots or a replay would do a lot to help bring this bug to the dev's attention.

 

As for catching flak for sinking him; what do those players expect? That your whole team is just going to hold their fire until he's driven back to his proper spawn? Yeah, that's gonna happen.

[AspiringCodger]

Haven't seen that, but a couple of weeks ago my platoon mate started the game literally on top of me.  We both took damage.

[Captain_Azmond]

Sorry Lert, 

I still don't know how to download videos and any screenshots I've tried take me to my desktop "using greenshot"

 

Maybe it was just a weird fluke.

[DoomStomper]

Wow.  Heard this happened a few times during the Phantom Fortress/Salem Witch event, but never in a normal battle before.

[Doutech]

This is now the 3rd time I've heard of this but never seen it in game before. Hope its resolved soon.

Captain I would of loved to have this happen to me ! wow!   Thanks for sharing the story. As for mad at u for sinking the enemy cv well who wouldn't hahahahaha. As to these forum creeps they get angry cause they want to see your lofty claims and are at the same level as a baby who wants his diaper changed. This ofc is their primary function here. But really what a great thing to see and now I can see it is possible to have something that different take place. Unique.

[Captain_Azmond]

It was on Open Ocean if it helps, which as a DD facing two VII or VIII CV's, I was sure was going to be short. When they lost the IJN CV they went nuts, pretty sure I took a hit on the whole Karma scale.

 

Glad to hear this isn't a common issue.

Forum creeps?  What in the hell are you talking about?  Nobody was rude or condescending or anything along those lines.

[Wilbury]

There was another thread about this a couple weeks or so ago. Here. That one is in the bug report section, which would suggest to me that you might do the same.

[MajorRenegade]

You not the only one

I'm starting to think there a bug only on the Ocean map itself. Still have not see it happen on other maps yet

I mean just look at these,

 

I mean just look at that!

This is a known issue and theres been at least 2 or 3 screenshots of it, usually on ocean.

I've seen it happen twice, it most commonly happens with 2x2 carriers in Ocean to the carrier spawning on the B point, it's most likely a bugged spawn location.

Coincidentally the two times I've been in a match where it happened, those were the only time i had double carriers.

I wasn't certain if it was still in the game as this happened a little bit before 0.5.0

[Billy_Sastard]

Twice I've had a dd spawn on top of an island right next to a friendly dd and we were less than 4.5km from the enemy spawn. Hilariously quick double kills for the red team right out of the gate. It was a couple of months ago and haven't thought about it until I saw this thread. Quit playing dds for a day or two and never saw it again. Weird.

[ValkyrWarframe]

This happened to me and my division partner

[AXELGREASE]

You did yoyr job sinking the enemy!!!

Do nit feel bad, becayse the game has glitch. It is not like you intentionally caused this, or used an exploit.

[mohawkdriver]

Of course, the right thing to do would have been to give the unlucky enemy CV a one-minute head start back to his lines...shame on you, you poor sport!

someone a couple days ago posted this same thing, had a screen shot..and it was on ocean

[YaBoyHankHill]

happened to me a couple games ago

didn't even get to move my Ranger...

[HashiriyaR32]

iChase had an Encounter match on Big Race while streaming a month or so back, where an enemy Langley spawned on chase's team's side of the Encounter cap.  That thing did not last long under fire.
