    sometimes my torpedo is in range, it explodes, and nothing happens. Also, I would get hit by a cannon or railgun and the shot won’t register at all. Same if I hit a ship with a cannon. Is this just a time delay problem becasue battle bay is global?

    Yes. With players from all over the globe, for two players with poor networks it can be well over a full second between the time a player has made an action on their screen and the time the result is rendered on yours. This can result in the frustrating situation where you've already taken a shot, but the player you were aiming at has long since moved out of range.

    If you have specific examples, post the replay tags and they can be looked at; but generally speaking, shots not landing properly or hitting you when you were "around a corner" is the result of lag. You think you've moved into safety, but I already fired my shot half a second ago when I could still see you.

    It will take me forever to look into my battle history, but when it happens again I’ll give my gamer tag and battle tag

    Just keep it in mind going forward - if there's something that particularly made you say "WTF?" either in your head or out loud, just save the replay link to your clipboard and paste it on the forums.

    But until we all get Star-Trek level quantum communications, the laws of physics and speed of light will be the bane of gamers worldwide.

    Unregistered shots are stupid, yes but that's the affect of playing a real time game.
