I'm visiting to help me pick up game hints and tricks and become a better player. For some reason, Anger's thread gave me a pop up that said "YES...this means YOU!". I was startled to say the least. Then ashamed because yes, I am guilty. I will play a few good sessions and then lose my cool. I am sure that if some people could see my screen as i see it, they would understand. The other day, no one is in one of my team tanks. I move around a bit to refresh the screen, and suddenly it's firing at me with no foe indicator. I am just not sure how that happens. I' guessing "netcode" (whatever that is), and ping...even though mine is typically ~60, which seems below average to me.
The problem Anger...is that when I/we ask "how did you do that"...the overwhelming response is "I am just that good". As if we (the potential haccusors) aren't already frustrated? There was one guy on TS that actually really tried to help me with settings/hardware/updates. Above and beyond, but it didn't help any.
It seems like what I am seeing is 1/2 second behind what the OTHER guy/people see. In other words...for him, he's already shot me dead before I even see it. And I'll be like...NO WAY. Another thing that happens is I won't see of hear any gunfire or explosion until AFTER I die. I realize the game MIGHT be good enough to delay a battleship salvo from a mile out, but the actual shell impact?
I've seen people jump into a tank like they saw it was there...sitting in the cockpit...but no tank...for an instant.
I move around (what seems to me) very randomly, up and down hills, fast zig zag and guy with ordinary gun takes me out in 1-2 shots. So he really can account for random terrain, my random movements, and "netcode" and ping? I will canvass a spot hard then SUDDENLY a foe appears and blasts. When racing for vehicles other peopel actually move FASTER than me...which I think is weird.
One major concern for me is something like me throwing a grenade VERY near a foe...and nothing happens. I watch a nade sail over my head AND running away from it and I die. This seem to happen on any map and either team. I suppose it's weapon spread or weapon damage?
I do admit...I made a couple adjustments lately that have helped a bit. Internet hardware and game graphics (even though my helper friend said it should matter too much). What would be cool is if I could show my screen and game play, and have someone guide me on the issues. Also tweaking of hardware.
What you have with me is a player who truly wants to get better, yet I feel trapped...but what I am not sure. Fairly certain it's not my (really nice Cyberpower) PC. Pretty sure my settings are good, I've messed with them to try and find it. My internet speeds are better than average. Yes I know other players have been playing for 50,000 years.....and I also know many are reluctant to help others, even though they are good folk.
So what is it? What can I do? Something I am missing...it certainly is not from lack of PT.
