All of those could be a factor.

Few things, first depending on your range and where you hit it.A jenner could take 3 ac20 hits. Should have been red all over. Next time this happens check your ping and the jenners ping.If the jenner is running at 150 the server might think youre missing.Youwill see this being a problem when your tracking sideways and less of a problem during front hits.Of course smart lights never run in a line.What can you do about this? Not much other than go with lasers then spray the target.

1 could have hit a ST, 1 an arm, and 1 CT and it would have been orange/red in those spots. It doesn't necessarily have had to have died.

Occasionally hit reg problems due happen, especially if you have a ping>200. Then again with a ping that high there's only so much PGI could do to help.

Or you could have missed. That's always a possibility.

If only it was that simple

No issues with my AC/20s here.

My lasers are also not dealing full dmg every time i shoot them!

Not having any ac20 issues myself...maybe its your ISP or PC OP.

Same here. I had good registration with my trial Blackjack's AC20 last night.

Honestly, if you didn't spread the damage then it was probably either your PC or internet connection. I had trouble hitting lights when I had a PC that could barely run the game and laggy internet. I would get red hit markers, their paper doll would flash, and I would still deal no damage. It's because the mech isn't actually where it appears to be. I got a better PC and better internet service and now if I'm pointing my cross hairs at it, an AC/20 round or PPC blast = a dead or badly wounded light every time. I actually hunt lights down now in my Atlas, which is a bit of a joke, really. Not saying you are wrong, but if you are having any of those issues it makes a HUGE difference, and I honestly think if everyone had a good PC and internet connection you would see a lot fewer lights on the battlefield because they would be blasted to bits if they tried the stunts they pull now, like running through a whole enemy team and living, and fighting undamaged assault mechs in duels and winning. That wouldn't work, and they would go back to scouting, capping, harassing, and picking off wounded mechs instead of being front-line combat like they can pull off now. I have seen multiple games where Spiders dealt over 800 damage. Come on, really? Not now after I upgraded my PC and internet service. Those guys get blown to bits and cuss me over the chat and call me a cheater.

Then I just make this face:

I occasionally run a jagerbomb. I can verify that AC20s are working just fine. Your experience may vary depending upon machine capabilties and network latency.

[Mcgral18]

Hit detection is a known issue, from SRMs to AC20s, although missiles are worse.

I've played matches without any issues, and other matches 3 out of 5 AC20 slugs don't register against an atlas. Ping and HSR seem to be the main culprits, and they are working on a fix, eventually.

[DyDrimer]

I have the issue to across the board with AC's not just 20's. But only seems to be certain mech's, Shadow Hawks are the worst for me, and hunchies seem to not reg on the back , i would say one out of every three will register, and ping is never over 75,

it's not always ping. there's tons of things that can affect this. Hence, report, take screens and vid if possible. Posting on the forums in the gameplay balance isn't going to do any good unfortunately

[Mudhutwarrior]

I have noticed some occasional issues past the usual ping problems but it seems to change from match to match. Server has been more buggy than usual as of late with frozen matches or disconnects during play.

Hit reg goes along with that sometimes. I check my ping which it usually 60 or lower and the targets ping. If its good and the next match I have no problems hitting I chalk it up to the server.

Those saying check your computer are not far off either. Frame rate during play matters. I had lots of issues with my old system but not anymore since I upgraded.

[Sandpit]

not to mention the other player's ping comes into play as well

[BlackDrakon]

I can confirm I have had this issue with AC/20, a legged Shadowhawk manage to killed me while I pound him 4 times with my AC/20 in the front torso, turning his front armor yellow. Before that, I manage to spent 6 AC/20 shots into a Stalker to be able to kill it (he was cored in center torso).

It seems like the problem resides mostly at Crimson map. The other night I was shooting with my CTF-3D (AC/20 and AC/10 build) at less than 200 meters a disconected Atlas. He ate my ammo and he didnt die.

My computer is decent enough (core i5, 8 ram, HD 7870) and my ping is always around 125. This is a hit detection problem with AC/20 and AC/10 mostly (cant confirm the other calibers), and its been around for a while.

did you send in a report to support@mwomercs.com?

[Coralld]

I have had issues like this before, mostly in my Victor though, seldom in my Hunchback. Anyway, I was the last guy alive against a heavily damage and cored out Stalker and Battlemaster, their internal CTs were orange and stripped of armor while I am rather fresh in my Victor with an AC/20, 2 SRM4s and a 6 with 2 MLs. At this point in time the hit detection decided to go on vacation on me because my AC20 and SRMs and MLs were doing literally nothing to the Battlemaster despite taking 5 Salvos of AC20, SRM, and ML rounds to the chest. Every one on my team saw this and were enraged as I should have won, even some of the guys on the other team were saying I got robbed.

Needless to say I sent a report.

Oh, also, just today I got into a slug fest with a Highlander in my Victor, the Highlander stopped taking damage even though I gut up behind him and blasted him several times in the back with my weapons.
