BF2S Forums Anyone want to explain to me how this happened?

this guy was sitting out there for a good 10-15 minutes before our chopper crew finally found him,but by that time he had netted tons of kills.my question is how did this guy pull it off?the place where he was sitting was shallow,but everything around it was deep water.anyone seen this before?

I am sure that if a good admin saw this then it would be a perm ban!

Yes, it is exploiting and to take a reason it is also statspadding. The engineers holding the tank alive are statspadding!

Yeah your kinda right but what the guy did in ghost is legal what i used to do was not. Listen i only did that as a revenge tactic on wake when the chinese were raping us on carrier the round before. I must've gotten like 20 plus kills.

Still, I think some admins would have banned with the reasons - statspadding- -exploiting- -unfair teamwork-
and so on.

whats with the red text at the top left, and i dont mean the in-game text like the player1[m16a2]player2 stuff, click on the picture and look, i cant tell wat it is

If they just used Engineer-repair to get the tank out there to where it could be parked safely, it's not stat-padding, it's just a clever ploy.

Also, I think it's a nice touch that when those guys went about doing it, they swiped the T-90 out of the Spetznas base to do it with.  Classy!

So how did you do this?

As jet-skis aren't available in vanilla, I suppose he had engineers following him in a boat, perhaps even several tanks and boats with engineers?
What an absolutely great idea, seriously. That's creativity.

And to the "OMG! WTF! HAX!HAX! STATSPADDORZ" group: Do the world a favor and STFU. Seriously. It's getting old. This is just yet another example of a stupid coding shortsightedness conducted by DICE. The code to prevent this is likely to be not even a hundred lines long. Just have the program check if the vehicle is constantly taking damage (which can only be the case when a non-water vehicle enters too deep water) and if so, do not allow repairing. Bad teamwork? The complete opposite. A damn impressive achievement of an excellently cooperating team to get the tank just there.

People like you ruin this game, and the internet.   That's like saying having engineers in your littlebird with you to repair are statpadding.

actually,David's story would be padding.two tanks under water constantly getting repaired=a lot of repair points.that's padding to me.whatever this guy did wasn't,i just don't see how he did it.i didn't see anyone else on the island near him.

Ill show you find an empty ghost town server and pm me.

Fun thing is, in real life most battle tanks actually can go underwater several meters.
E.g. the Leopard 2 can go 4m deep with a snorkel and 1.2m without.

ha,can you imagine driving around on a jet ski on Ghost Town only to be destroyed by a tank that rises up out of the ocean?crazy.

I don't see a problem with this unless it was on a server with a no attack on the uncaps.
