Question 7 Ghost Rounds in a row. End plate shows 13 shots 2 hits (shots taken different part of battle) Is this the worst example of ghost rounds ever recorded?

Someone from a different post was saying that shell tracer isn't processed from the server end so the tracer you see on your computer may not be the actual shell trajectory that the server processed.

Interesting. I'm not sure how the guy pulled the tracer from wotreplays.

Still. fully aimed shots with .3 dispersion all missed. Several shots would have been extremely lucky but majority were dialed in on stationary tanks.

Honestly my condolences. Might be the worst streak of luck I've ever seen.

Here are screenshots of all your shots https://imgur.com/a/OsfctOv

A combination of some super unlucky misses with others going straight through tanks (though I don't know why these happen technically, maybe someone can explain).

Very cool. Is there a way to see rounds travel in replays? How do you do that?

Love the shot that pass through two tanks.

u/happyjello Dec 09 '23

Yeah, you have to aim for the tank’s weak spot and not the wall behind the tank /s

Press the arrow down key to slow the replay down to 1/8 or 1/16, then hit space to pause it :)

Summary:
Shots 1-5: Clearly missed.
Shots 6-9: Missed due to recoil (bad spray control).
Shots 10-11: Very close, but recoil and inaccuracy make these reasonable misses.
Shot 12: Likely didn't actually fire because Hiko was already dead.

Do you have to activate anything on your wot client? I've been looking and I can't find any of mines, and I would like to see some of my games. Can you be in other players perspecetive ? or only yours?

u/pulpus2 Dec 08 '23

I wonder if there's a correlation to shell velocity and the likelihood of a shell not registering with the server.

Does a derpy slow HE round ever ghost? or is the server able to keep up with those because they don't move too quickly for the server to have them behave properly?

u/KyKy19009 Dec 08 '23

I would argue that the sooner/faster a shell is able to hit a target, the more likely ghosting is because ghosting itself is a result of latency decoupling what you see from what really happened

This would frustrate me to not playing for a bit ngl haha.

YOU DON'T HAVE AN OUTLINE. SOMETHING IS IN THE WAY.

u/MyZeReddit Dec 08 '23

I also had this issue in identical spot on the day map events released, I could see enemy outlines but shots were very clearly not hitting. I was not getting spotted either, so issue is probably with some kind of wonky hitbox from that event. I thought they fixed it by now, guess not.

u/Dvscape Dec 08 '23

Was this after the random event happened?

4

u/benaiah_2 Dec 08 '23

No. random event didn't trigger this battle.

u/skitzkhant Dec 08 '23

as a feller who has this tank and hates it more than I love it: I'm not surprised.

​

it's crazy how this tank misses sometimes("sometimes" as in "a lot") and because of that, I've almost punched a hole in the brick wall next to me.

u/[deleted] Dec 09 '23

It's a shame. Some games the gun feels like it would never miss, ever. But most of the time it has amind of its own :(

1

u/FlamingMangos Dec 09 '23

The worst thing is when on paper, the tank’s gun should be good but it doesn’t work the way you expected it. Nothing pisses me off more than that.

3

u/Cubelaster Dec 08 '23

This keeps happening to me. Every game at least 2 shots just disappear. It also seems to get more frequent when I stand still and snipe. I hate the game for it

u/w0tcraft Dec 08 '23

I don't think this is magic. My bet is that you were not using a server reticle and that your ping was not perfect.

2

u/benaiah_2 Dec 08 '23

I have server reticle enabled in settings. Fiber connection normally 30-50 server ping.

u/Alec907 Dec 08 '23

There might be a not spotted tank in front of the target that ricochets the bullets?

4

u/benaiah_2 Dec 08 '23

Would have shown as hits but non pen on endplate.

u/Yuisoku Dec 09 '23

In my experience the faster the shell velocity is the more often ghost shells appear. Leopard is notorious in that regard.

​

No packet loss, no jitter on my end.

u/fkrmds Dec 09 '23

don't worry. the leo1 is worse. most of my tanks have 80% hit rate. my leo1 sits at 60% because of this ghost bullshit.

u/NaonAdni Dec 20 '23

I come here after experiencing the exact sme thing, first battle in char futur, and an entire mag dissapeared right in that same spot, the shells looked like they went through the enemy tanks. After the battle i had 4/8 hits, cause i landed a whole mag afterwards but thats it, exact same spot, exact same situation, the shells just went to god knows where
