Even when I reload and take aim for a 2nd, 3rd, etc. shot, still... nothing.
I even thought maybe I was too far away but in some occasions I would hit them, they would move around a bit and then go stationary again and from that point on they were completely invincible to my shots.
Anyone else experience this problem?
I have been experiencing this a bit more often the past two days. It was a problem; then it went away for awhile -- now it's back. The moving around does help. A good sniper doesn't stay still very long anyway!  |

I have incidents where I fire a complete mag from my shotgun into an enemies face at point blank range and he takes absolutely no damage. I know I hit, I can see their shield flashing, but the hit is not registered.
I think it is a latency issue...
I'm there - I think latency is the biggest issue with this at this point. Leading targets is definitely a factor (as it should be). |

selected a dragonfly snipe and charged rifle
nothing special at all just stock fittings bar weapon and skills.
join game. take my crows view and start plinking away.
first shot misses and dude kind of ducks.
re aim add a slight .5m lead and bang tango down.
notice a gunner in a lav.
take aim dial in the 0.5 lead and bang.
shot skews and gunner looks around.
dial in a 1m lead shot, hammer the triger and he falls from the LAV lifeless.
picked of another 4 more ontop of a hill one after the other leading shots
lag is very slight so sometimes takes a lead shot to nail the suckers.
so its like threading a needle at 200m with a sewing pin and a rubber band.
you have to judge left or right and hope you guess it correct
also the scope sometimes lies to you gives a suit reading and a icon but the enemy has gone to ground using cover
thats what i think you guys are seeing, also a misty map is a pain gives the same suit reading and icons but when you bang the trigger your hitting dirt as they are behind cover scope is not seeing. But what about opponents which are not moving? Lead doesn't make sense on a stationary target. Are you suggesting they are actually behind cover but the image isn't registering at that distance?
Latency could explain why no hit. If they move down behind cover, but my client doesn't register it fast enough, the kill will not happen since it is on the server. My client is behind in that case. Not saying this IS what is happening, but it is one possibility.  |
