I just joined the BETA recently so I don't know if this is an ongoing issue or something new, but I've noticed that missiles from the Swarm Launcher and LAV seem to have unreliable hit detection (It's entirely possible that missiles from other sources share the issue, but I haven't had a chance to try any other missile-based weapons systems yet).
What I mean by unreliable hit detection is that the missile doesn't always detonate when it contacts an object or enemy, or sometimes enemies within the blast radius are not injured. I've watched several times as my swarm launcher missiles fly directly into a HAV but fail to cause damage (meaning that the missile does indeed make it to the vehicle, but for some reason fails to detonate). I've also noticed that the Swarm Launcher does not seem to harm enemy infantry, but I'm not sure whether that's a bug or by design.
Something else I noticed, although it seems less common, is that missiles fired from the LAV's rear turret will not always detonate when they hit the ground. During a battle earlier today I fired a missile from the LAV's turret and watched as it impacted just in front of an enemy soldier, but did not display an explosion or register a hit marker. This happened several times throughout the match, although not often enough to be anything other than irritating.
I'm willing to consider that these may be latency issues, but as I have not had any problem on other games such as Killzone 3, Battlefield 3, or Call of Duty I don't believe that they are.
I apologize if this has been brought up before, but I could not find it on the list of known issues or through the search bar. |

you might want to take a look at the attributes, splash damage is only 15 damage (on an advanced swarm launcher)
that is less then even a militia gun hit (wich does 30 damage)
of the vechicle turret, just like IRL, not every misisle; bomb grenade or any explosive always explodes :)
and last, this is like you said, only a BETA TEST, i say again, TEST, game so it is pointless to compare it with fully developed and playeble games.

I'm well aware the Swarm Launcher is a dedicated anti-tank vehicle weapon, I am simply not seeing hit markers on an enemy even when the missile goes off at their feet and am unsure whether this is intended or another bug.

I realize this is a BETA test; the bit about the past games I have played was not a complaint about the game's bugs. It was there to dispel other people's worries that it might be a latency issue on my end. |

1 swarm launcher is mostly effective against air vessels, forge guns against tanks.
2 not registarting a hit ,ight be ur graphics bugged a little, don't worry, you DO hit, but tanks have alot Resistance too
(i for example have over 50% damage reduction on my shields wich regenerates fast especialy with the heavy shield booster up.
:)
as what i i can make out, you are using a militia swarmlauncher, you will barely scratch my tank with that :) damage you would have done will almost be instantly recovered as long i have shield left. |

I noticed this as well today. It was pretty bad in that 3 out of 4 swarm volleys did not damage a dropship that was flying in the same place without anything in the way(proto swarm launcher). Not all of the missiles in a successful volley hit either.
I noticed the same to a lesser extent with LAVs(1 of 2 missed) and tanks(1 of 4 missed). |

I'm not talking about damaging the tank, Stormrage. I'm talking about hitting the damn thing. |
