    let me clarify first! Spectator mode is the act of jumping into another players tank when your tank is destroyed? Yeah or have I misinterpreted that. On the basis that is correct then some help is needed.

    I have noticed since this latest update/patch from WG that after dieing there are some tanks that I simply cannot click on and thereby jump into that tank.

    But recently, particularly in the tierX (10) battles I simply cannot spectate in any of my teams tanks after I die which is why I am asking if something happened with the update.

    It left me thinking about game bots v real players. Does the possibility exist that in all the times when you could jump into another tank that this was indeed a bot tank? More so as I find that if I turn to view an enemy tank in spectator mode that invariably that tank will also turn and shoot the target. This is great team work as they opten get the hits especially if I zoom out to the smallest possible setting that I have. This can often cause massive damage creds for that tank/bot and I get the win. Fair is fair.

    Is it therefore a possibility that spectator mode only works in Bot tanks. Perhaps you have a better explanation? Feel free to chat.

    A further example: It has just happened in a tier 2 battle. I hear you, “WTF, u doing in a tier 2 battle?, noob” 9_9. I’m playing for my daily win xD

    Regular players play like bots on NA anyway 😂

    Never though about this Bob. I will look. (I don’t usually spectate).

    I always complete the whole match in a tank one way or another.

    Try directing the other players tank and view and hopefully you see what I see :Grin:

    I do it all the time. Especially if I see clan players. Amazing how many do stuff they shouldn’t :)

    I watched one about an hour ago. He *tooned* with me and then proceeded to shoot through the mountain at the target across the map after I had died and jumped in his tank.

    Wether he did damage I do not know but you just never know who’s watching.

    Works fine for me with all tanks. Sometimes it takes a moment to connect to a tank when in rotation by using RMB LMB and sometimes it will even skip a tank in the list.

    That bug has always been in the game.

    By pressing Ctrl and selecting the tank in the players panel works fine for any tank.
