Planes fly through tracers, exploding 3 seconds after I clearly missed them in my FE, people flying through me and get no damage, invisable planes (warping), planes scoring hits on my plane but rear view shows their nose pointing away from my plane, etc. Started the past 2 or 3 days. Anyone else seen it? Oh, and it does go away for a while.

The other day a few dots on the horizon appeared. They looked like a formation of buffs. So I waited. Nothing happened. They slowly moved.Then they flew away. It was a damn tiny bug on my monitor. :)
Peace

lol, I have chased those a few times. Turned out my daughters discovered a couple of pens. :lol
-
same thing happens here ... it seams to be the same guys all the time to .. its clearly a collision and they fly on unscathed .
i think theres a hardware vs packet type bug again .
-
I have had similar problems over the years, it usually was due to bad connections, either at HTC or on my end.
-
I've seen times where I poured ammo out that seemed to go straight through an enemy plane without doing the slightest bit of damage, and then others where I take a snapshot that looks like it missed by several yards to the side, only to see the other guy start smoking and/or parts fly off a second or two later. The joys of online gaming.

Yea I had this happen a few times last night. I was pelting a P-38 at 200ft and was just not seeing hit sprites or anything. I was in a Mossie just slugging all the cannon I could. A moment later, he warps behind me and explodes. Weird.
Logged, came back online a few hours later and didnt have any problems.
The joys of the Internet :)

Had something like this happen to me this am - was flyin a spit14 and was pouring ammo into the canopy of a zeke, the rounds looked like they just passed right thru em. A few secs later I get a kill message without the explosion. I'd chalk it up to a bad conn on someones end - mine, HTC, or the zekeydodahday. :p

N1k twice that I got assists on after missing real nice very short range deflections at A126 IIRC. after that I didn't see you any more. very nice N1k flying btw dedalos.

I always miss what I aim for... so I can't see the difference between now & then :o

ty, I assume you were one of the 109s?
I only asked because Morph said he put 2 30mm in my NIK and I kept flying. My FE and film showed a clear miss. I guess something is up cause around the same time I emptied the full NIK ammo on a LANC from d400 and got one engine smoking, lol. Switched to a Tyff after that and the probs went away. :confused:
-
yes the baby blue 109G6 with the handicap sticker dangling from the rear view mirror was mine. I saw no sprites of any kind on a 0 distance vertical deflection that should not have been a miss. I did get some 13mm only pings on you on the second pass both times.

yes it is common for french people to sometimes be off mark. :D
-
Its been happening in the DA the past 2 nights.
sure kills (D200 or less) 20mm Hispanos not doing anything.
Started getting fustrated thinking it was me but now I see that other are having the same thing happen to them.
-
Same thing happened here last night , and alot of other wierd crap!
-
Yes, I have gotten kills without ever seeing hits on the enemy plane.
The other night I swear a Niki flew by me on a head on pass and then my plane was hit...after he was past me.
No other planes around.
We are all living in the Dark Ages of on-line gaming. In the future they will look upon us as pioneers and have pity on us.
-
This has happened to me as well, but not frequently.
However, it has occurred much more in the last month or two along with a skewed variance, even though my connect is rock solid. It's definately NOT on my end.
-
I shot ded's nik with 30mm, showed 3 hit sprites on his left wing, I figure ded's dead. 2 seconds later he is still there, with 4 NIKDWEEBLAZERS blasting me apart.
3 Big puffys from 30mm has always meant a kill. WTF Over?
I think the Nik dweebiness of his nik porked my connection and my 109 just couldnt take it.
-
German 30's have been crap lately. I had a couple instances where the tater gun barely hurt guys that I blasted with it. Not sure if it's the server, their connect or the cannon itself.
-
As I understand it hits are scored by the client and THEN sent to the server. This is why you don't need to lag shoot in AH. The down side is if some dweeb has a 800ms ping you have to make all your evasives almost a full second before it looks like you're supposed to or you'll get popped when tracers fly out of his plane after he's overshot and is d400 past you.
I'm sure 800ms is a little much, though. I'd like to know about what the cut-offs are for consistant latency as well as for temporary loss. I've seen those cable pullers screw up and disco many a time so I know it can't be too high.
