    Has anyone seen a thread that discusses issues with the explosive cannon not registering hits. If so can they point me to the link and if not has anyone else experienced it?

    It's lag from your side which makes it look as if you hit on your screen but in reality it went right passed the enemy

    I am an explosive cannon user and i definitely had "a lot" of hits not registering yesterday afternoon (GMT). Other people in chat also reported the same problem. A few devs were on and said it wasnt server side, but i do think its suspicious if a group of people all appear to be saying the same thing at the same time.

    Still, was ok later. Who knows.

    I used to get this a lot before it made me scrap my explosive cannon.

    Even got it on video which you can see at 2:00

    So if it’s the lag then why does it only effect this specific weapon. That’s probably why I can’t believe it. I have a MK5 shooter and every weapon hits in succession except my 2 explosive cannons. If it was here and there I would agree but. If I fire 2 Blast cannons a regular cannon then the only two that are left suddenly lags every time I fire it. That awfully peculiar.
    Not saying your wrong but just observation. Also I tested out. I switched to only 1 Blast and 1 explosive on my speeder and blast at point blank always hits. Explosive at point blank always missed.

    I agree with you. I think they should dive into this a little further. It’s only 1 weapon people are complaining about. Doesn’t that seem strange?

    This has been an ongoing discussion in the VIP. People have scrapped it because of the issue

    Nah. Happens even with my Blast Cannon. Explosive has a slower projectile speed so that could explain why. Hasn't happened to me lately though.

    Doesn't only happens to explosive cannon. It effects all cannons, rg and fg. Pretty much any single target weapons.

    There is really no concept of "point blank" distance where you "just can't miss". Even if you are overlapping with the other ship on your screen it might be that in reality the ship is nowhere near you on the server. That is what the lag causes, a disparity between what you see and what is the reality.

    This issue has been reported to every weapon in the game and it is a normal side effect of lag. You see the projectile hitting the enemy on your screen but it doesn't hit on the server because you are only seeing you version of the "predicted reality". It can even happen with ships standing still because the waves still move the ships vertically.

    Thank you. I’m noticing now that I can only use my explosive cannons from a distance for it to work. Anything under a 2 defender space range will miss.
