    Surprise surprise - The server is the judge of whether you hit or not - YOU'RE NOT. This is why you are seeing your weapon hit, but not doing any damage.

    Both of my bursters have gold medals already...
  2. Asimplicity

    -Yeah, perhaps it wasn't working for anybody..no idea. I know none of mine were registering and that's after a full relog!!

    I have had situations when I hit a lib or ESF at mid range with my G2A launcher, close enough to see the missle hit. But I never got the red "X" marker on my crosshair either. Could be the same bug. And that missile is guided, so you can't blame my aim :p

    lucky ? not a all he can render lib lib cand render him + u need a full mag of zepfer to kill a max
  5. XRIST0

    TBH your aim is a little bit off , you should be aiming more infront of moving targets ..

    But i agree , it needs a buff .
  6. Sowahka

    But... the whole video is you trying to fire them like lasers... it's not that they're not registering, you're missing, they suffer from bullet drop.

    Would love to know his accuracy with 200kills. This is a lot for AA MAX since you get so many assist kills, instead of real ones.
  8. Asimplicity

    114 kills with AA max
  9. hunder

    I know this bug is when u hit the rail of aircraft
  10. Asimplicity

    -If that is what you got from that video then move along. You obviously don't know what you are talking about especially when I'm hitting aircraft at Point Blank range and the hits are not registering. I don't mean this is an bad way, but please check-all stupidity at the door.

    -Now if I had never downed an aircraft and I didn't know any difference, sure, I'd want advice but I'm not here for a peeing contest. I'm here to either get this fixed or get my money back.

    27% + 25%
  12. Asimplicity

    My accuracy is 17 percent..but that doesn't say a whole lot because half the time I open-up on an aircraft when I can't actually hit it because of distance.

    Well that and I guess shots down't register too...I've seen it before but nothing like this. Just sitting there shooting aircraft and nothing registering.

    Oh, btw, about that Lib that somebody said I almost downed..if you watch the video not one shot counted..that was somebody else hitting it.
  13. Skadi

    Wish i could say the same thing buuut...
    *watches ESF try to fly away while in flames while reloading*
    *Mossy shoots 1 rocket at it and blows it up*
    Yeah that happens...

    It would be nice if there was some sort of zoom optic or tracer to help see where your shots are landing. At longer ranges it's sometimes very hard to get direct hits on aircraft which is what you really need to do to actually damage them in short order. Splash hits really do nothing to bother aircraft, especially ones with composite armor.

    Other than that I have to agree you're a pretty bad aim, as well as not co-ordinating your fire with other AA maxes. You didn't demonstrate anything at all in your video as to why they're op. Hell the 2 aircraft that dared to hover for more than a few seconds almost vanished instantly, not to mention all those planes flying back and forth aren't actually firing at you so guess what... you ARE deterring them. ESFs only fire forward. Just because you aren't killing them doesn't mean you aren't having an effect.
  15. Achmed20

    im not entirly sure but think that there are 2 bugs which can cause this.
    1. which bugs you, then switching weapons helps
    2. the other one is bugging the aircrafts arround you which makes them invulnerable.

    the second one almost happens to me exlusivly in vanu territory on indar (middle bottom tower, left of the sky dock).
  16. hunder

    u must get extended it cost elot but is relly good
  17. Moxin

    grats =)

    This is proof that Bursters sometimes have bad hit detection. Bursters = AA, AA =/= bursters..
  19. HappyZaps

    So far you've accused someone of being a liar because they have 200 kills to your 117, you've (possibly) conceded the fact that this game has well-known issues with rendering, latency and hit detection, and you've ignored the fact that you're often not leading or compensating in any way with your aim, expecting instead to hit a distant, moving target by putting the crosshair directly on it.

    Yet you still have not retracted the obviously, demonstrably false assertion that this video is "proof" of anything except the points listed above.

    Do this: Get in an ESF. Have a buddy in an AA max fire at you. You will let him hit you because the purpose of this experiment is to acquaint you with how much damage that max can deal to you in a very short time, when he hits you. After you die faster than you can say "wtf", come back and apologize for this thread.
  20. Tetryon

    Believe it or not, this happens to aircraft a lot as well. I've had rocket pods land on top of targets and do zero damage, as well as unload a clip of rotary ammo into infantry and do zero damage despite getting the hit indicator. It's more painful for AA then it is air, but it happens everywhere.
