Ya, exactly since HiTech's server update there has been a sharp increase in frequency and duration of lags, such that you make a kill shot, but it takes so long to visually register you get off a second and sometimes third shot that isn't really necessary before GV blows up.
By the way, their latest game mini-update that fixed the GV hangar problem didn't fix the two other MAJOR GV bugs introduced by the last major game update.
Though they have been report (more than once) I still fire my main gun across open ground at a target (also in the open) only to have round explode in mid-air. Happens quite alot actually. The enemy seems to be able to shoot back at me just fine.
The other bug is, from the main gun, the trees at approx. 2000 ft. out still don't resolve into detail. Can't see any GV hiding in or around those trees.
These are major, near crippling bugs just as bad as the hangar hitch. When are these going to be fixed?
