When your bot is detroyed all of your bullets/missles that are fired and currently in flight suddenly vanish inexplicably. 「whiskey tango foxtrot」?

Yeah, it's because when the bot dissapears, the game renders the ammo as a part of the bot (like its weapons). So when the bot is destroyed, the game deletes all the ammo mid-flight. It is annoying, but it would take the developers ages to fix it, and it would probably add a heap of bugs. Best leave it alone, and learn to empty your salvo before you die

It doesn't really render it 'as part of the bot'. That would be a terribly inefficient renderer. It's just that the ammo is associated with the bot, so when the bot disappears, it does too. Depending on the method of association, that could be an annoying thing to fix, or pretty easy. But it's definitely fixable and without adding a bunch of bugs. Whether it's worth the time to make it a priority.. probably not. For earlier discussion, see: war-robots-forum.freeforums.net/thread/720/rockets-flight-remain-shooter-dies |

My point is that it is just one of a list of small but important details that Pix doesn't deem important enough to fix. This game has always had a half finished, unpolished feel to it. As much as I enjoy playing this game it is still far to simplistic to warrant spending my money on.

It's a gameplay decision, there's nothing to 'fix'.

I think it's been fixed on Android already by the 2.5 update.

I think it's been fixed on Android already by the 2.5 update. Not currently. Munitions in flight go away when the sender dies, still. |

And it is something that can impact any player no matter level or weapon used....an equally shared little annoyance of the game.
I understand things like this don't happen in real life (when the shooter dies, the bullets disappear). But last time I checked, we aren't driving around in large robots shooting each other in real life, either (man, that would be one heck of an amusement park ride if they could pull it off).
Now if you really want attention to an issue, you start it off this way: THE VANISHING BULLETS ARE KILLING THE GAME! EVERYONE IS LEAVING War Robots BECAUSE OF IT!
