I don't think the missile actually disappears. I was playing SUrge one day and it happened. I fired a TOW at an APC and it looked like it disappeared. I was like wtf!? Thankfully the APC didn't notice me and I still had the crosshair on it, then 5 seconds later the APC blew up and I see ST19AG_WGreymon[TOW]APCguy. I think the reason why people say it disappears is because they move the crosshair around trying to look for the missle when it actually doesn't disappear. Or this may be a new bug.
I don't stay up-to-date on stuff, this is the first time I've heard of this bug, even though I've experienced it myself. I thought it was just a one-off when my TOW missile disappeared... However, I immediately thought it was just a graphical bug, so I kept my crosshair on the vehicle I was aiming at (an APC I believe) and nothing happened. So either I can't aim, or the missile vanished.
well last time i fired a blank round into a humvee it never said i killed it, and the humvee driver drove straight into the TOW i was sitting in , got out, and G36'd me
Did you keep your crosshair on it?Trigger_Happy_92 wrote:

I've noticed this too. It has happened to me two or three times. I'm sure I held the cross hairs very steady. It just sorta went right through him. No explosion or anything. Unfortunately, my situation would wait for 5 more seconds and he got me. I hope they figure this out soon. Very annoying.
For me guys, it goes rite through the APC/Humvee/Tank/ETC. I see an explosion behind the vehicle.
For example:
I'm playing Karkand, spawn as a MEC sniper at the Square. Run to the TOW waiting for anything to come my way. Down the street rolls an APC. I fire, it goes straight through and hits the wall behind the APC, *TKing 2 of my teammates * So I tried to fire again, and I get the same effect (minus TK's). Then the APC gunner turns the turret and blows me off the TOW.
Its gotta be hitboxes rite?

I ve seen this bug 952824124738,34*10^23 times now.
You get in the TOW and fire. You will hear the fire sound but the rocket wont come out ----> the tank sees you ---> boom
Happens in 20% of all shots but I think it happens almost every time if you get into the TOW and press fire immediately.

That's lag between the server and client. The server doesn't realize you've shot yet, just like the scopes/sights zooming in, then back out.. the server didn't know you zoomed in. This is a different bug, where the rocket just doesn't come out.ArMaG3dD0n wrote:

I've seen people shoot through an APC and have it pop out the other side and whiz passed my face..
I've seen it fire and go through. I've seen it make the sound and not shoot.
I've seen someone jump in, try to fire, a smoke trail comes out but no missle, and they get booted out of the TOW.
TOW's (and to some extent AT Rockets) were screwed over by the patch.
1.21 ought to fix it. Let's hope EA doesn't push Dice into fucking it over.

I have managed to shoot through a humvee, hit a tank in the tracks and nothing happens, and a whole lot more. DICE have alot to answer for.
i havent had the TOW problem, but i have had the AT rocket seem to shoot, something comes out, but doesnt hit and suddenly i have the same rocket placed into the laucher (amount of rockets is exactly the same as before i had shot).
It pisses me off, happens every 2nd rocket or so, when i'm shooting a tank or helicopter.

Never had the Anti-tank bug. But I think it'll happen to me soon cause I'm working on my Veteran Anti-Tank badge.
