Firing Drakgoon Point Blank Misses Target?

[Larsurus]

Unless I am severely inaccurate, the Drakgoon often seem to miss its target at point blank range.

 

Has anyone else encountered this issue?

it is due to the fact that the projectiles spawn at the end of the barrel of the gun on non-hitscan weapons, and if the end of the barrel is not between you and the enemy that you want dead, you may have a problem. My suggestion is to fight at a slightly longer range.

Read it on the forums that there's two possibilities :

 

1) With the way the aiming reticle and the angle that the projectile weapon is at can offset and make it seem that point-blank shots miss even with you being directly in front of the target. The projectiles actually spawn from the end of the weapon you're using, so there's a bit of an angle between from the spawn point of projectiles, and the projectile flight endpoint (Where the reticle is).

 

Basically, if point blank range, aim a bit to the left to catch your enemy.

 

2) In some instances like the Lanka, the barrel of the weapon is too far ahead of your point-blank target, therefore won't hit your target.

 

All in all - keep some distance from you and your target, and you won't have that much of an issue.

Just as I thought. Thanks for the tips, but this is a bug that needs fixing. This gun needs to work like any other non-projectile weapon.

Noticed the same on Detron, which seems to fire very similarly.
