Several versions ago I encountered an intermittent bug which took the form of random presses on the fire button, equipment buttons, etc. It made the game unplayable until I figured out that it only happens when the device is plugged in. When running on battery, no problems. The bug went away with an update and I forgot about it until a couple of days ago. For whatever reason, it's back. It's not a huge problem since I can just avoid playing while charging the battery, but I thought this might be helpful for anyone experiencing the same problem.

Are you using a screen protector?

This "random auto fire" has happened to me perhaps one in fifty or one in a hundred games, where I open the game, pick a tank, the battle starts and at the first opportunity it fires, reloads, fires, ... really expensive when you preload APCR as a -2 against some OP tanks. Switch to AP and it seems to stop.

That is a problem with your device or charger, nothing WG can do to help with it

I've had the same problem when using a non-Apple charger with my iPad. It's odd but the problem goes away when I take the case off the iPad also. I think it's a interference issue with the charger affecting the screen touch input. I just stick to the apple charger and all is well.

I've had the opposite happen to me, I push it and nothing happens. I think I figured out my issue though pressing my screen way too hard... Causes my joystick to stop working or stick and the worst part sometimes I can't rotate turret and drive at the same time I have to stop to do one or the other. Combine those issues plus the lag I've been fighting lately and it makes it almost impossible to even break even on damage sometimes

I am using an Apple lightning cable and A/C adapter. No screen protector. Blitz is the only app in which I have noticed any issue.

Oh no, isn't this the way the dusted fennel screen thread was born?...I remember the bug but haven't had it for quite some time now. Use an Air 2, with the stock charger and haven't noticed it. It was a maddening bug, even hard resets did nothing to stop it from occurring.

I find this issue on the movement joystick as well as phantom fire. 

I believe it comes from gunk deposits from your fingers and when the ipad warms up it 'senses' input and the tank starts driving itself and /or shooting.

 

Clean the screen with a soft cloth and a small amount of soapy water.
