rockets not firing correctly (kind of)
« on: January 16, 2017, 02:40:38 PM »
so basically the other day i lost my tail, flipping over a base i saw an opturnity to fire backwards or striaght down. it was traveling lets say north. lost my tail flipped aroud looking south and down but still traveling north.      fired my rockets.   you would think with nose pointing down you will still fire rickets down.      no they fired to the north straight as could be like i didnt take the damage and was flipping.    figured maybe you missed something in your code there.

Not really a bug, the rockets rotate instantly to their current trajectory.

i just dont see why the rockets fired along the trajectory i was traveling not the way the plane and the rockets should have been facing. oh well if not an issue not an issue.   was just reporting something strange

What would happen if you shot a 50 mph arrow out the back of a 200 mph airplane.
The arrow would flip to face forward. This is exactly what happens with a rocket. The issue is that in real world there is lag as the object rotates forward. In AH it happens instantly with rockets.
