Main gun firing issues - Arcade

At least I perceive my computer, connection and graphics work fairly well, or do they?

At first I was upset on a number of close combat occasions that my target shoots me first before my gun fires. Ok, so it is. I can accept the sending information back and fourth and lags.

Lately in the turbulent close combat I have have however noticed and increasing amount of situations where I sit and click my mouse with target in sight without my main gun firing. I can drive, tank reacts as normal, I can turn the turret, ok, and I can fire the coax but my left mouse button simply don’t fire the gun.

Crew is ok, gun is not damaged and is loaded.

So last time I played the situation appeared again, a friend luckily managed to damage my antagonist (saving my un-firable tank) giving me time to determined slow click “click-click-click-click-click” awaiting my gun to fire.
On screen there is no lag or anything then on the fifth or sixth click gun goes off.

Now micro-switches in mouse work and it fires as normal under all other circumstances and games. Its just some times in the WT close combat part where it does not work.

Any one with similar experiences?
Any technical explanation (does gun have lower priority then rest of mechanics or just needs the largest amount of information to send)?

If this occurs regularly then you can bug report it here (just search a bit first so that you don’t report something that is already reported and known about): (Gaijin.net // Issues)

A guide on how to report bugs can be found here: ([Navigation] Technical Knowledge Base | War Thunder Wiki)

this might be an issue with your mouse. Try it with another mouse. If not, then idk

Similar situation but with my chieftain, I know my inputs were going though because the coaxial 50 cal was going ‘plink plink plink’ against the side of this. Bradley. I had not yet fired a shell yet, as I was fighting against spawncampers and this was the first one I found. I crested the ridge, and no main gun firing, just coaxial. I got blasted in the face by the Bradley and backed up into cover. As I was repairing I searched my controls for a machine gun bind. Once I had binded a number pad button to my machine guns, I had to switch to them and switch back for my gun to work again
