Just today I have been experiencing a problem with weapons firing 2-3 seconds after I press the fire key. This seems to be a problem for all weapon types (lazer/ballistic/srms). I have 4 medium pluse lasers fitted to a Hunchback SP which, while on chain fire, dont even fire sequentially anymore.

The lag seems to be inconsistent in length, mostly around 2 secs but on occasion seems much worse. I'm playing from Australia and used to a bit of latency. General movement doesnt seem to be any worse than normal. Combined with lag sheild and wpn convergence it is proving impossible to hit anything.

This didn't seem to be a problem previously and others I've asked haven't noticed any difference. Is anyone else experiencing the same issue today?

I have an issue that looks like this one except it's with Gauss rifles. Sometimes I keep my firing button pressed because I want the rifle to fire as soon as it can but it just won't fire until I release the button and press it again a few seconds after I've released the button.

This only started happening a few days ago but it also feels like lag and it also doesn't happen all the time.

I also play from Aus, and this happens on about 2/3rds of the matches I join. It isn't normal 280ms latency, it's as you described, like a 2-3 second server lag. This also manifests itself when waiting for a missile lock. I've found sometimes the missile lock cone goes down but doesn't turn red, just sits there as yellow and beeping. I've got to unlock and relock a few times for it to lock.

Again, about 1 in 3 matches it's fine, but the other 2 are just impossible. I've taken to using LRM variants until whatever is causing this lag is resolved.

Retried playing again today and its just as bad. Other games connecting to the US seem fine and the new lag in game is restricted to the weapons firing. Game isn't playable like this. Not only do I have to get super lucky to hit an enemy, I can't fire anywhere near friendlies without a random interval weapon firing hitting them.
