Before submitting a bug report, make sure you have used the search function to find similar existing reports and make sure you follow the following guidelines when submitting a report.

Please ensure your bug report thread title fits the issue you are reporting. It is also helpful to include the version number for the client version in which the bug appears. (Client Version number is displayed on the main menu.)

Having steps to reproduce a bug is crucial; reproduction steps are used as a test case when applying a patch to verify that a bug is fixed. Without reproduction steps, a bug cannot be reliably fixed, because there is no way to know if a change in code has solved the bug or not.

Example: Firing missile damages own tank when driving with 3-phase
Build a light tank with 3-phase and standard missile.
Enter the tank.
Drive forwards at full speed.
Fire the missile forwards.
The missile collides with your own tank and damages it.
