I've been playing Ghost Town recently (working on SF medals) and encountered something new to me while driving around in tanks and apc's. Without warning (no incoming alerts or sound or visible enemy), my armor lost 1/3 of its health. Seconds later, another 1/3 lost. Again, no warning, sound or red hit flash...not even enemy armor or chopper in sight. After 2/3 of health gone on my armor, an enemy armor came into view and I can see it firing on me and then I was blown up. Note, my sound card is working and my game is audible otherwise.

Is there such a thing as an armor hack?

Probably just an enemy tank out of range.

Bugs that came with the patch after 1.3 - Another EA/DICE "fix one thing and create ten more" policy. Kinda goes along with the "is no more" (when you die from nothing and no reason shows up) or the "full health and suddenly dead w/o hearing, seeing, feeling what killed you and from what direction it came from bug". For God's sake! - it's EA/DICE man.

Armor out of sight is possible but wouldn't my armor recoil or hear the sound of being hit if I was hit hard enough to lose 1/3 of my health? I don't suspect someone hacking but I found it odd that is happened a few times recently.

happens pretty often. you should still get the red hit direction indicator thingy, but it usually doesn't make a sound. use this to your advantage and don't fire the machine gun at a tank that doesnt see u.

I get hit by tanks all the time that are right in front of me, and I don't hear the shot or see the flash from the cannon.

Its not a hack. It happens alot to me when i sit on the hill in a tank and rape north base when they have one last flag. It sometimes doesn't make the warning noise becuase the enemy is out of range.

Don't listen to this noob, it's obviously one of the most annoying hacks in the game.

The 1/3 thing is strange. APCs usually need 2 tank shot to loose about 17 bars of health, almost red area. Similar with tanks, 1/4 or 1/2 .... I've never seen a weapon causing 1/3 of damage on every vehicle.

A correct shot to the turret part of the tank should cause about 1/3rd damage. Check the Secrets of Battlefield chart.

I lol when your tank wobbles but doesn't take damage.

Its a bug. Just when you thought hitreg couldn't get any worse they put it on tanks too.

My state was founded by Batman. Your opinion is invalid.

I was hit by a tank shell while climbing the palace walls with a grapple hook on Warlord, didn't hear or see it, but had the message pop up that someone in a tank had hit me. No tanks nearby and I was too high for a tank turret to hit me.

Not long after though it started raining cars and supply drops, so there you go.
