No.In P3rd, Autoguard activates even when you're shelling or reloading. You usually can't guard during those times. So you can keep attacking and just pop a shell when you're about to get hit. I think it's cheap, but don't really care if people use it. Just please be careful when playing with other people. It's very annoying when you get interrupted by a shell just because your team mate doesn't want to guard normally.
