Notice the player is getting lag the entire time before he was shooting, so where his tank actually was, and the aim of it was entirely off. The shells you see were client side, the server side ones were probably going off into the horizon.

This isn’t the bug they are talking about.

Except most people don’t have the money to buy a better computer simply to have the graphics on one game look better when their current computer works fine for everything else.

Explain how the graphics looking better would make it easier to play? As long as he isn’t seeing lag the level of graphics won’t make him a better player it just looks better.

So because something was horrible before, we should be oh-so-happy that its only equally bad for both sides now? Because there is a difference between being one shot in a tier7 and a tier8, right?
Sure, the MM is balanced, as both sides are equally badly matched. No, I do not like it. It is my right to voice my opinion, just as it is yours to spew your elitist crap about how things used to be horrid. And if you are going to go licking more shit saying that the MM is actually working well in this game, then we really have nothing to converse about.

For fuck’s sake it’s +-2 tier spread MM. There are no tier 9s. So what? It happens. Do you want maybe +-3 tier spread again? Want to be oneshot in tier 7 Tiger? Ppl are never content…

This bug isn’t so rare… has happened to me and/or toon mates every 30-40 games since the 8.9 patch. I am sure its a packet loss issue or some such. Its not game breaking, but i can remember my shot passing through an enemy tank (almost point blank range – 15 meters max), which would have killed him, instead, he reloaded shortly after and killed me.

Hi,

Hmm, it is highly unlikely that this happens for one player for his entire drumroll. And also, other client server communication seems to work fine: The AMX sees position updates of the other tanks, and sees them doing damage to the enemy. If there was a serious client-server problem, the player would just see heavy lagging and would not get that many infomation IMHO.

Perhaps the shape of the hitboxes changes when a tank is standing on certain spots?

Guess we’ll never know, these kind of questions never get asked in a QA … would be by far more interesting than “do you have plans to remove the credits for gold feature” …
