I just spent about 2 hours today flying around as a dropship gunner. Most of the time on missile turrets.
One of the really odd things I notices was that some surfaces either don't register missile explosion effects or don't allow allow them to explode at all. This is quite bizzarre.
I've noticed this happen when I hit sand (the regular ground) and even when I hit some structure parts. One such part is the roof of either of the 2 hangers on the north side of the map. If you've seen the roof, it's built in two hight levels. The lower is shaped like a "+" in the center and the higher is each of the 4 corners. If I hit any of the higher level's parts there's an explosion (this includes walls, floor or pretty much anything that's part of the 3D model). But if I hit the lower level the missile just gets swallowed. No explosion, no splash damage. Nothing.
This causes me to have to hit players directly with missiles just to get some damage on them. While this is drastically improving my aim, it's tedious and a bug. |

I've also seen this with the large missile turrets on tanks, and with the rocket launcher. The rocket launcher seems to happen a lot in close quarters, they projectiles just dissapear into the walls. The large turret missiles seem to just dissapear into the surface, my guess would be null return on colision detection causeing the missile to fly infinately away. |

I've experienced that too, its odd, because you feel like you miss your target all the time..
But even though the visual effect sometimes just won't show up, the damage will be done to other players anyways.. |

thsi happens a lot when i sit my dropship on the tower and start blowing up objectives. some missles will get caught on the lip of the tower and will just be gushing out their exhaust as the missle doesnt go anywhere it just sits there burning out on the tip of the tower. the damage still registers, but the animation is wonky |

Not quite the same, but i have been having a similar issue with my sleek av grenades as well. Ill throw them and they will disappear into the ground or hit a wall and disappear. |
