Whenever im on a rocket launcher mounted on an LAV, if I aim directly at an enemy and fire, even when the LAV is standing still, the rocket will fly off to the side rather than flying straight forwards where the corsair is aimed. What the glob? |

Happens to me all the time. I assumed it was because I'm crap and couldn't understand how movement of the vehicle affects missile flight. Never tried it while stationary. |

Yeah thats how i noticed it. the car was standing still and I aimed directly at an enemy and fired and the rocket flies at probably a forty degree angle from the corsair. It happens every time without fail |

Yep, I tested this again. Definitely not just my bad gun game. Missiles do not fly towards the dot in the middle of the crosshairs, even when the vehicle is stationary.
In fact, you can also miss at very short range, suggesting to me that the missiles aren't even starting in the right place. |

As far as I know, this was changed to make the missile turrets "less" powerful. They decreased direct damage, decreased splash damage, and increased spread (decreased accuracy). in my opinion, they went too far. I personally can't find a good use for missile turrets now. I kinda wish I didn't skill it to lvl 4. |

What I was seeing wasn't spread or accuracy. The missiles didn't seem to start from the missile launcher, and were heading off at least 20 degrees from straight. Also, I was seeing this before the missile nerf, as well as after. |

The top turret of a HAV have had random direction firing due to main turret moving for a while now, but the splash compensated. Now they all have the random direction firing, regardless of circumstances. |

They are all a bit wonky with tratectory as inertia for missiles when moving etc. is not properly calculated and fires them in a random direction, been this since forever. |

Yeah. It's a pain I do admit and needs to be fixed. They also need to actually make them missiles or change the name to "Rocket Turret". There is a difference. Missiles have some form of guidance. Rockets are inline dumb fire like our current turrets are supposed to be.
So in essence, the only missiles we truly have in Dust at the moment are from the SWARM launchers. |
