Didnt someone bring up the theory once upon a time that if the AP round is going too fast when it hits that it could effectively shatter before it is able to do its full damage?  This would be why many knife fight close shots do not = automatic kill.  Just askin....


I'm fairly sure shatter gap isnt modelled, although the strange glitches you get sometimes when firing at close range replicate the effect quite nicely.

I honestly dont recall ever seeing this, and I have alot of GV kills.

Is it a function of lag, is it a representation of a hit that doesnt richochet, but causes no damage, is it a game bug?  can HTC explain this further, because I really dont understand

"Lag" is the problem here.

I too was going to mention the same thing.  Glad you did it first.  The "lag" that people like to point fingers at really *isn't* there.

Got film? if not it didn't happen. Due to graphic settings and such what you "see" might not be what really happened. Post a film. HTC can get a LOT more data from the films than the player we use can. If you post it so of these guys with the super computer might even be able to tell you what happened.

I've seen this happen too and while it is frustrating, the cartoonist is right.  If you didn't catch it on film it didn't necessarily happen.

hitech already replied to this one.  he said it is just a visual thing with the game.  the round actually stops at the tank but for everybody else it just keeps going till it hits the dirt.  that's why when you look at the town you see rounds passing thru several houses sometimes but only damaging once.

I can search for the actual post later if you like. I'm working right now. No, really.....
