This is a relatively old problem on my end. It only happens when there's a higher than normal amount of guns shoots shooting at the same time(like 2 gunboats or something idk). I'm not sure how to describe it apart from the way I titled this thread, but if I had to pick a prime example:
Almost a year ago I was on my transport when 2 gbs were shooting at me. Literally as soon as the shots started coming in, the red lag icon appeared and it must have looked bad enough on their end that they couldn't hit me because I barely lost any health before I made it to a friendly POB where they got killed by the weapons platforms, and I was halfway between Manhattan and West Point. I think that was the first time(or at least it's the earliest one I can remember) it happened, but another time a bit more recently it happened when a bunch of snubs started a group battle with about 5 people in total. Both instances were in New York. I haven't had a chance to see if it happens outside NY, and I know it doesn't happen in Conn. It's still a problem to this day and it seems to be 10x worse when shots are coming towards me than when it is when I'm watching a big fight.
Is it something to do with the server showing them where to aim as I'm moving around or what, is there anything I can do to fix it? As you can imagine, it makes pvp impossible on my end.
Edit: not sure if it matters, but my internet is a 4G mobile connection
