When playing Armored Fury on the Sovereign Forces server, I was in a tank at one of the uncaps. There were enemy tanks, of course, so I tried hitting them. The first one I came across was 01DMan KeekX. He was in a tank, his commander had dropped a supply drop for him. I shoot three shots at him, he doesn't return fire, I'm like "what the . . .?". The fact that three shots didn't affect him was the most shocking. So I figure the supply drop is the source of his strong health. I blow it up, leaving nothing to repair him. There were no engys or engys in vehicles near the tank, so there was a 50/50 chance of winning.

I start hitting him some more, him ignoring me. 5 blasts to the side, back and turret leave him without a smoke trail. It was the first time playing this game that I thought "hax!". I start following him, to see if I was the one with the broken tank. A few AT missiles do nothing, a TOW to the back, nothing. An attack heli even comes by, TV missile and pilot missile barrage of 8 do nothing. I was frusturated and started attacking the other tanks.

I tried to keep an out for the suspected hacker's name in the kill messages, but nothing appeared. I also couldn't find him again, but the AF maps are large, so I could've missed him.

And those are some nice armor stats: http://bf2s.com/player/48918785/

Screeny of hacker's score after I attacked him:

Bug

Or

More likely, a ping related issue.

Possible answers:

[*]Ping issues: You may have seen a 'stuck image' of the tank where the tank isn't actually there, or is actually destroyed but you just see the helthy tank.

[*]Bug/Exploit: He may have suffered from/found a Bug/Exploit in the game where he cannot take damage for a while.

[*]Really Shitty Hitreg: He or you (Most likely him) may have had really bad hitreg for that game where the shots connect, but dont cause damage (Similar to the 'Smoking wound' glitch you see with infantry).

Plus, its not like he was hooning around steamrolling all in his path. If he was hacking, I'd think he'd be doing a bit more damage.
