That's because of pop cap.

Perhaps because the second panther wasn't deployed yet.

You call PBG, requires 24 pop.
First Panther called in for 12 pop.
Call in Hummel before 2nd Panther arrives for 12 pop.
Second Panther tries to come in for another 12 pop.
Error popcap reached.

I was thinking about that  ;D
I guess it's not a bug after all  :)

Yeah not a bug but a little annoying. Relic tried to fix it a bit in the last patch by making the 2nd Panther come a lot faster but it's still possible to do.

Well, don't know how they tried. Currently, there's a delay of 5 seconds between the first panther and the second one, enough time to let shit happen. I will decrease that time to two seconds.

It counts as Relic bug and looks fixable :P.
