How do I....
« on: December 23, 2007, 07:29:19 PM »
How do I shoot through buildings and mountains like a lot of other people do? I can't shoot through hangers or mountains but lots of other people have no problem doing it, what is the trick to it?

The trick is: They don't. Many people believe this because they see enemy shots go through an object. But that's not actually the case. Only your own shots are rendered very precicely on your machine, no you enemies. If they just lob a shell over an obstacle, I might indeed many a times seem that the shell is going through it.
Next time you see an enemy Ostwind taking down a town, watch his shell. Many of them will seem to go through buildings exiting on other side of town, yet they do explode.

I don't buy it...sorry, I've checked my outside view from the tower and the guy had to shoot through buildings to get me. Today I was in a hanger and the guy was on the side of the hanger, not in front or back, and he shot me through the wall.

Got film to back up that claim?

And you don't need to buy anything.. the things I wrote that way is happening and the source of 99% of all "he shot through XXX" whines.

I'm not talking about 99% of the time, I'm talking about the 1% of the time that people do indeed shoot through walls.

... we only have a chance to determine if it's indeed the case (and not just another unfounded claim/whine), if we see a film.
