I don't think this has been asked before, searched for SBH in this forum and didn't come up with this bug. If it has been asked about, my bad, my apologies.
For the ones not knowing this bug, here's a video demonstrating it: Click here
Basically, when you're gdi and have a targetbox in your screen, and you then (accidentally) go with your recticle over an SBH, the targetbox disappears. This allows you to spot SBH's pretty easy if you know how.
Could/Should this bug be fixed?

Every so often, I get this positive feeling that humanity can somehow, possibly attain pure awesomeness, and enlightenment, and that there is light at the end of the road for us all. However, I only need to go to the latest HUD thread at RenForums to remind me of how dumb I was for thinking such stupid things.

I've known about this for a while. We had an issue with a guy over on St0rm's Server where he claimed to use this method of finding SBH's. We proved it to be true, and thus we have to be extra careful about banning for sbh reveal lol.

It wasn't intended, but then again it sort of was and this means its hard to fix. Currently it just looks for physical obstacles between you and the thing hilighted regardless of wether they are visible or not. We would have to make some sort of workaround to get it too work (cause you don't really want lockon through the glass on Islands for example).
I don't think we should consider this a high priority fix(as its still not very pratical). Sort of something someone might look into after hes out of things to do.

I agree with GhostShaw. It's not very practical to use. :\
It takes time to perform right...So, it's not a high priority bug to fix as only a few know how to use it...effectively

I was kidding, but, yeah, I'd figure it'd require some time to be reworked. Still, it'd be nice if it would eventually be fixed.

Also target boxes are usually the only thing to fire at with tanks when you can't see through the explosions.

removing the target box will screw up the game for me. i find it a lot harder to hit someone who is standing infront of a building or tank because the target box keeps switching.
im hoping the target box will be included in renegade x otherwise i probably wont play it.

That's how I use to spot SBH back when LTROUSH CTF was up. Now I'm exposed ;x

this bug rarely affects gameplay. and is also very rarely exploited. Unless the stank is staying still which it should never do it will have moved by the time a tank shot reaches it.

Actually, we DO intend to change the target box. We intend to fix some issues where the target text scales but the target box does not properly scale. And possibly also some issues with the reticle not scaling properly in widescreen resolutions. (i.e. being stretched horizontally)

I think I am OK with that just so as long as the target box time limit is not altered. Thanks for clarifying it for us.
