Has anyone noticed as of late bombs seemingly detonate immediately upon being release despite the enemy missing you / the bomb?
Is it an exploit?
Or a glitch?
Maybe even a cheat?
Regardless, it’s beyond aggravating watching the enemy team missing me, then, the absolute moment I hit the button to drop my bomb, not only is my bomb “hit” but then my plane is gone due to the explosion.
Have you experienced this as of late? (Last year)
And what do you think is causing this to occur?
It happens but not when they miss. Must be a connection issue, and a delay of the shot visually.
Just like when you shoot a helicopter with a tank, you see in the replay you missed
Must be a server side issue then. Because I usually run 23-26 ping, and 0% pk loss.
I have 1 gb/s download speed.
Yeah its always server issue, you could have the most expensive starlink internet, but still have PL and delays visually
Yeah seems to be a lot of server issues as of late.
Non to my benefit unfortunately
only when they actually hit the bomb
You must have been oblivious to the many similar threads in the past.
It is a feature. It is even written up in the economy report.
Just because you refuse to read what I wrote, doesn’t mean I don’t know how it works.
Picture this, you dive in for a bombing run, an SPAA begins to shoot at you, it’s missing every shot, you drop the bomb. Despite the SPAA missing you, and your plane, the bomb randomly explodes, credits the kill to the spaa, and you get screwed.
Ironically it seems to happen more from PC players, which is a bit suspicious
Tbh the ping displayed in the game seems to be kinda a lie, I sometimes get comparable numbers while being able to easily feel the poor connection
You wrote: " Bombs exploding by enemy fire… ".
I found tracers often desync on higher ping and longer ECSB games. Might happen to random GRB games as well depending how they do game servers and stuff. Even if not, most belts are like 1 tracer per 5 or 7 rounds. Meaning, most of the bullets will appear invisible. except for barely visible condensation trails (?) - meaning: I’m shooting at you with my 109, you see green tracer fly in FRONT of you (thus assume I over-shot) then get smacked by the AP-I and HEI shells in your engine/cockpit since they didn’t have tracers.
