Also thought that after the previous nerf it was well balanced not sure why they nerfed it again it wasn't a huge nerf but it has made it a slight difference making it so ion torpedoes aren't worth using. Talking about ion torpedoes I get occasions where I try to take out a turret with an ion torpedoes and it locks on but the torpedo goes straight past the turret. This must be a bug right?

I have experienced the same thing. I surely locked on the AT-ST but the torpedo landed to the invulnerable AT-M6. After that, I found the ION torpedo tend to lose the target very easily. When I used the AT-ST, I stood near the AT-M6/AT-AT/turret etc. It worked well. But I suppose, it is hard to say "It is bug or not" for the EA people. Because it seems that it worked as specified even if it is not intended.
Fortunately, I saw the same topic in the bug report. I am looking forward to see the answer. 😉

@Sati_Sati yeah that definitely happens the ion torpedoes lock onto the largest target. Usually with a bit of decent angling and tactical positioning you can get it to lock onto the smaller target. I'm talking about a turret nowhere near a larger target.You lock on where there is nothing else to lock on to. For example at the start of Naboo playing the darkside your turrets are protected by the MTT ion torpedoes will lock onto that but the lightside have nothing on that side. Some of clones place turrets at the start. I usually use my ion torpedoes from the off as the splash damage destroying those turrets at the start can sometimes take out an opponent or two. But very occasionally it happens that I lock onto the turrets but the ion torpedo goes straight past hitting absolutely nothing. I've had it happen on a few occasions on different maps. I'm wondering if this is a bug. It's not impossible that there is some ability that might prevent it exploding such as an officer diffuser. I'm not sure there has always been an officer present when it happens. I would like to see them make it so that the ion torpedoes don't lock onto the larger vehicles until after being hit with an ion disruptor especially after nerfing them so much.
- ggibb657 years agoHero (Retired)@Tinogiggedy - I have always used the ion torp and experienced the same issue in the same scenario as you mentioned. This has always happened at some point even before the latest update/nerfs. It mainly happens when your target turret is on a low flat section of ground and sometimes takes 3 torps before you get a hit. No one else has to be near the turret. I generally try to lock on the turret from above so that any ground effect is minimised. It is a pain especially if you only have 1 torp left.

I posted in August 2018 an message called Inconsistencies with Ion missles. I got zero feedback on it.😢 Since then ion missles have been weakened 3x. I used to call it the great equalizer and that it finally prevented atst and other vehicles from killing without end. Oh well. Its nice to hear someone else speaking about them🙂👍
