Has anyone else ever fought a valor... when he/she decides to fire the FG it goes in a totally random direction away from you? and than when it finally passes... a chunk of your health bad decides to take a permanent vacation? Its sooo anoying I hope devs take a look at it, i lose 9/10 valor fights because of that... I would be 100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000x better if the FG didn't lagg.
I think it's a netcode issue.
Sorry if I sound like a total idiot here... but is that fixable?
I *think* it is matter of the lag. From Valor perspective, your ship's hitbox has not moved out of the way and was hit by forward gun fire, failing to update the factor that you should've dodged it by an inch. Comes with the netcode as Tal said.
This sort of behavior can be seen with every weapon in the game. Ever see a ship blow up to a SNAC that just about missed it on your screen? Same thing. Mortars sometimes show this behavior too.
It's just very noticeable for something like the Valor FWG, I suspect, because if the Valor is "one degree off" on your screen, that's a huge difference in where the projectile ends up.
An unfixable issue, unfortunately. Just has to do with FL's netcode as others have pointed out.
Ok, yea that sucks but thanks for the clarification, guess I'll just have to deal with it. Thanks anyways.
