1OHK vehicles should spawn faster.

@Man_iLoveFishingWith the way networking and latency are, it is inevitable that if something were to be accurately shown it would look like this, to an extent. You can observe the same thing with whatever has lots of tracers, like wildcats, jets or nightbirds that look like they're missing. This is "working as intended", the game shows you where the lizzle is, the alternative would be to lie and show the lizzle taking a trajectory that never happened but is closer to you on your screen. Not impossible to implement (in theory) but such a solution also wouldn't be perfect and might tend to fly through solid walls. Pick your poison?

That being said, I feel the delay in 2042 is higher than it should be, air vehicles have particularly broken hitreg on them (very noticeable with any slower ROF weapon), and the TGMs also have pretty broken networking. It's normal to hit an air vehicle, get static, then somehow the lizzle recovers and you flew through it, or to miss but have the game count it as a hit. I've had cases where I've shot the TGM down, got an XP event for it, then something like 300ms later it still hits me. In some extreme cases I've dealt full damage to ground vehicles when hitting terrain near them, though this one could be bad splash damage values. For some reason lizzles already ignore directional damage and deal the same damage to a lot of different vehicles, e.g. 27 to MAVs, and to RAMs, so it wouldn't surprise me if their splash is fried too.

However... Even if the networking issues were fixed, people would still hit you.

I am not sure I understand what you are trying to say at this point. It is true that the TGM seems to be somewhat lagging in the video you linked to. But to move around quickly in the first place, and to hit a small NB directly with TGM is something that requires a high level of skill, and I don't see anything unreasonable about that. Vehicles are one of our limited resources. If you eliminate a threat, I don't see anything wrong with not encountering it for a while. You seem to want to keep the NB exclusive, but resources should be shared by the whole team, so if you enjoyed some bonus time with the NB, then go back to working with infantry on the objective. Wanting to play with vehicles all the time is a luxury that goes against the design of this game. Players who are not competent enough to play well with infantry should not be using vehicles. It is more problematic that good players cannot use NBs freely in situations where they are tactically necessary than it is that you cannot get up and ride NBs all the time. Players who are properly involved in the objective, like control, are the ones who should be using powerful vehicles.

The TGM was nerfed the last time all the pilots sweats complained about it, so DICE totally nerfed the controls and turn rate - meaning that it's now a lot easier to dodge as the missile can't turn fast enough to adjust.  Unless you're flying straight into it, it's a skill issue....
