This probably have natural reasons (connection, hardware etc). But I’m still curious. Any hypothesis? (so I can mitigate the problem)
Ex 1.
I fire at target, so does he. At least my gun fire on my screen. If it does so “in the game” I don’t know. My shot vanishes but his hits and blows up my tank. Where did my shot go? Cyber space?
However the mentioned situation is usually under 150m engagement range. At 300m+ (at least registered by me) my round hit him and even produce a few double deaths. Both he and me goes up as we strike each other.
Ex. 2. “Click-click-click.”
In close combat to point blank 0-100m I suffer, not frequently, but enough times, from inability to get the gun to fie, which usually have a fatal outcome.
Its simple. We go head to head in arcade. Target drives in or is already in my sight, I click noting happens, click-click-1001 (on second pass), nothing happens, he fires I’m toast. WT*!
But, last week I did manage to fire it as we mingled. I managed to deflect two enemy rounds by keeping tank active and made firm pissed-off one second clicks. Click. Click. Click.
On the third click my gun went off that was like 4 seconds too late for my taste, and glanced at targets (T-34) engine deck (2m point blank), but it DID fire (team mates got him so I could sit and suck on the issue pulse 190).
Now my tank is not damaged and crew is fairly ok (I can’t swear that some is not wounded, these fights are heated things). Gun is however loaded, and un-damaged.
I don’t have the most modern PC but enough to handle most battles and I believe I have a good internet connection. Though lately have experienced some lags in crowded environments and artillery strikes, but I had problems with the click-click before that. My mouse is a wire and it is “used”, but why screwing with me in the moments that are the most perilous. It works fine at range where I even have had some scary snapshots faster then my brain observed them (with a half dead crew).
Is it game graphic update priorities, guns last or how does it work? Are my clicks even registered by the game? (Should I buy a new mouse or memory)
Any one have similar experiences?
