I have yet to see evidence that you can lock through cover but obviously others have different versions of swarm launcher then me.
keyword here is convergence. additionally the swarm has slight delays in its UI & inputs since its introduction in clos beta in the year 2012.
to be clear everyone UNDERSTANDS, the guy locking has parts of his head sticking out seeing small parts of your vehicle but due to the vehicles point of view je cannot see him. additionally convergence of the suits point of view gives the swarm user the impression that you actually cannot see the vehicle. by the time the vehicle completely vanishes from view the lock is already finished, the UI showing the lock rectangle confirming it is slightly delayed thus it appears that you locked through cover but in fact you didnt.
this is the same as with the myth that bolt pistol has bullet magnetism because due to convergence it appears that you missed slightly when in fact you dont.

to be clear so that everyone understands it: the guy locking has parts of his head sticking out seeing small parts of your vehicle but due to the vehicles point of view he cannot see it. additionally convergence of the suits point of view gives the swarm user the impression that you cannot see the vehicle. by the time the vehicle completely vanishes from the suits line of sight the lock is already finished, the UI showing the lock rectangle confirming it is slightly delayed thus it appears that you locked through cover but in fact you didnt.
this is the same as with the myth that bolt pistol has bullet magnetism because due to convergence it appears that you missed slightly when in fact you dont.
2. the next myth, swarms following your trace around corners.
obviously the average gamer doesnt understand the concept of server side communication.
your position on the map is determined by the server, not what you see on the screen. your client sends the server your position, that is why the position on the server lags behind by an amount of time determined by your latency.
same applies for the swarm user and the swarm rockets.
when you see swarms flying at you they are actually closer than they appear. if you start moving your position is actually lagging behind and not the same as you see on screen.
this makes it look like they follow you around corner, except they dont because you already got hit several hundred milliseconds earlier and the swarms were alot closer to you than it looks like. 1. I do it on my basic dren swarms 2. I watch swarms go around corners when in a vehicle or when using basic swarms, i see it on both ends from both sides
someone has issue comprehending, I couldnt be more clear

1. I read it but you are trying to say that it doesnt happen and that i actually get hit when not behind cover but lag etc delays it which basically means that i cannot ever escape it due to issues which are out of my control
2. So then how do you fix it then? or should the weapon be removed completely from the game?
this happens with every online multiplayer game, communication through internet will always lead to noticeable delays and fake the output due to latency, this is not news, everyone and their mother knows that since online multiplayer is thing.
if you cant handle that, play a single player game.
or simply deal with it. |

after all this bs posts it should be obvious for everyone that Lazer Fo Cused has no clue. he is stuck in his tunnelvision fantasy world and wont accept anything that does destroy his blurred vision no point discussing, this would equal fighting a windmill. |
