So I blurted in the shootout earlier, but I am genuinely confused - is the cap timer broken right now or is it intentional on WG's part?
Earlier I was in a game where a red E-100 rolled into our cap early in game and just sat there, getting pounded and taking slow but heavy damage, but the cap timer kept on ticking down. He basically won the game singlehandedly by capping.
There were no other tanks in the cap, and the E-100 was taking damage the whole time. By the time the cap timed out, he was down to a sliver of health.
What happened here?
ps I so should have recorded a vid but was so livid I forgot.

I've noticed it for several months, it seems like.
Red capping and a green inside the cap circle with the timer still counting down.
Sometimes damage does not reset the timer.

I've never seen this, Last time I witnessed someone on a cap get shot. It reset like it should.
I'm not saying I don't believe you, Just that I think its a glitch rather than intentional.
Wouldn't be too surprising all things considered.

Wouldn't be too surprising all things considered. It's happened maybe a handful of times in the last few months. I'm assuming it's a glitch, or I'm just a moron. Could be either. |

I think i'm going with the latter on this one actually.

I noticed this over the weekend. There were two tanks capping the base a ____ and a KV-3. I was in my Scorpion. I rushed back to base, shot, penned, and damaged the KV-3 but the counter didn't change. Reds took the win. What gives?

I may be mistaken, but to completely reset the cap if two tanks are in it don't you need to damgage the first tank that started the cap count down?

Yesterday I was in my Sexton and was one of two left on my team against a full health Matilda and Birch Gun on Swamp. I drove across the map and got into the base, shooting the Birch on my way. I got hit and was on about 20 health. I sat there in the base until a couple seconds until the cap and the Matilda came over a hill at me. I shot him but he shot me and killed me. Then the base capped, we won, and I got an Invader medal. Dafuq?

No, it was Standard. Surprised the hell out of me when it happened because I was trying to head back to the garage when suddenly the Victory screen came up. |

Just so everyone knows, if the reds are capping and they've just got to 100%, you can actually ram them (for a very short time after) and they lose their cap points. You can't shoot them after they've reached 100% but you can ram basically.
I had a disagreement with Max von Bellend about it ages ago, I posted about it and he kept putting links to vids of tanks shooting each other and not ramming.

Encounter or standard battle. A green inside a standard battle circle has no effect. All damage should though, odd. I have never seen this. |

I may be mistaken, but to completely reset the cap if two tanks are in it don't you need to damgage the first tank that started the cap count down? Yeap you have to damage all tanks on the cap to get a complete reset. |

Yeap you have to damage all tanks on the cap to get a complete reset. damage either for part reset. each tank has its own points so damage to a tank you take his cap points as defence points. |

I've just had a different issue. 5 greens on cap, but the clock only counting down as if there is one capper

After a certain number of greens get on the flag, it stops increasing the cap countdown speed.
I think it's 3 or 4. Also depends on game type.

Still was running slow though, it was running in real time irrespective of how many were on cap.
