Bradric Banewolf D3ATH CARD RUST415 1	Posted - 2015.07.24 14:14:00 - [31] - Quote I've experienced this as well. I thought I was seeing things, but yes the shot just disappears if it doesn't make contact before you die. A shot that has left the barrel should make contact regardless. Shotguns do it all the time. The rail and scrambler rifle still fire and will kill you while the enemy has long since been killed. The plc just seems to instantly stop operating as soon as the suit is dead.

Did u know: 2 complex damage mods on a quafe SL takes out a saga in 1 shot but not a Methana. I find this slightly unbalanced.

The shot despawns in mid-flight if you die. Just like grenades despawn even if you've cooked and thrown them. It's one of the more idiotic things in the game. Thank you. Finally someone read the OP... No one ever actually reads the OP. Most of these guys suck at the game, and spend more time on the forums being trolls on post. They don't realize how counter-productive they are to progress. They just want to get back at you for killing them. Something that actually does need fixing may never get a look because so many crutch riders jump on post defending broken mechanics out of spite. "Anybody order chaos?"

The only problem with infantry is that if you aim a slighty bit too high it will just pas through the enemy clone like it wasn't even there. That's why most people advise to shoot from elevated levels. Those ghost shots are also why sometimes you only do splash damage if you shoot from above and the reason why you see a lot of those jumpy suits equipped with the PLC. Now add in latentcy and moving targets,... And getting a hit gets harder, using it? Not that hard, unless you are only used to point and click weapons. PS: I still miss the arc to shoot those fleeing tanks from behind a stupid tiny hill/slope. Honestly depends on how you use it. Either u spam the crap put of it and hope to get a kill. Or track your targets and predicted where they will be in accordance with your shoot. Personally I hate people that jump with it. https://dust514.com/recruit/R6VwQe/ Sign up today to Help get you and me get free stuff

Breakin Stuff Goonfeet Special Planetary Emergency Response Group 10	Posted - 2015.07.24 15:13:00 - [36] - Quote Pretty sure my saga fit will actualy live through a single AV hit. I should go test it. I've been douching around with the barbie corvette a little too much. WoW has taught me that Purple means Legendary. This means Quafe suits are the optimal loadout for killing all of you.

Of firing my shot and I get killed before it hits the target. So magically my shot disappears. This has denied me too many kills for to long Anyone else agree I am not a Plasma Cannon user, but I completely agree with you in principal. It is like tossing a grenade, and then having it not explode because you died before the timer ran out. I hate that! I'm like 90% sure that this is a troll reply... And why would you think that? I see no reason why dying should have any effect on a weapon that had already been launched or deployed. Besides a Burst HMG or a Remote Explosive can kill after you die, why should a Grenade or a Plasma round suddenly become non-lethal? Hand/Eye coordination cannot be taught. For everything else there is the Learning Coalition.

Got to love those kill screens that say zero armor on the enemy left. It's not just delayed action weapons either, happens with scrambler riffles and other near instant weapons.

Kierkegaard Soren Eridani Light Horse Battalion 870	Posted - 2015.07.24 15:41:00 - [42] - Quote This is a thing. It happens. It's really annoying. It also puts a sizeable dent into the PLC's CQC potential; aiming, leading the target and charging the shot only to be killed as you fire and then see your shot evaporate inches from your killers face is extremely frustraing. I've aways considered the weapon to be the true "hard counter" to heavies in CQC enviroments, so if we could fix this I'd be most pleased. Dedicated Commando.
