Choppers and missiles.. hits not registering.

Aphax · 03-21-2004, 04:51 PM

I've spent a couple of days on my server with a buddy of mine shooting at eachother in nothing but choppers. And there's something wrong, very wrong... We shoot missiles at eachother but half of the time (or more) they are not being registered... It's like I hit my buddy spot on with a missile (I can see the explosion when the missile hits his chopper), but he's not seeing the missiles nor taking any damage, at all.

The times I do hit him and the hit DOES get registered, he didn't see any incoming missile nor heard any explosion. This goes for both ways. I understand that the amount of damage you deal to a chopper depends on where you hit it, but it still doesn't explain why we can't see each others missiles half of the time or don't deal any damage at all when we hit eachother.

We've had this on several servers without having any (connection) problems playing as infantry at all. Also, this is something I've noticed in BF1942 as well but never as badly as it is in BFV.

Has anyone else noticed this?

me and RichM were shoting eachother point blank with 2 american tanks, no damage at all. Kinda strange

What do the hit indicators say when you hit ? I sometimes hit a hostile chopper, see the explosion aswell, but the hit isn´t registered.
But I was still able to take out choppers if I lead them enough. But you have to lead them quite a bit, even with a very low ping.

Bad netcode...

Yeah that's true I suppose, I don't mind getting lag and having to predict a little, but the way it's now it just doesn't make sense. The hit indicators are what I use to determine wether I've dealt any damage :/

Shoulda seen Mav, Bort, and I. Think they both ran outa ammo shooting at each other from 2 feet or so away...

Seems like 99% of the time, a hit to the front of a helo will not register, hit to the side is where its at.

unless you have NavalLords ubber noober skills, then you can take out a chopper hitting it anywhere, ive come up behind one and nailed it down in 2 shots

I noticed that too but it doesn't apply to all cases. sometimes i shot 3 missiles from my Mi-8 at a huey with direct hits, but the huey wouldn't be damaged at all. they just kept flying with no smoke coming out its engine. weird.....

The hit code is just like BF42. Shoot for the engines and you'll be fine.

Yea ive also noticed this, and it aint fun when your in the mi-8 and ya hit a cobra with 3 missiles but he shoots ya with 2 and your down. Yes the mi-8 is much bigger than the cobra but in real life the cobra would of been blown out of the sky by the first 3 missiles.

It's because he turned on his shields, use a disruptor ray of some kind.
