Misleading range.

That.
I have a railgun and DG with 4x EIW. Both weapons have the same range, but missiles lock-on before the Railgun can.


In the pic I'm standing still, but only 1 of the weapons locked on the target. :/

Mainweps don't lock on at max range

Then the range stat is just useless on main weapons like missiles, because range =/= Lock-on range, and range =/= actual weapon range?

No wonder most of my weapons seem to have 150 range instead of 250.

You can damage things outside of lock-on range. Try it on a tree sometime, back up until you are just out of lock range and shoot and you'll see damage number pop-up.

I sniped an EVE outside my saggy lock-on range, it was in temple site, so i pretty much could pick anyone which standing on floating platform, maybe EVEs is the only bots unable to snipe without lock-on, need lock-on for moar damage and gigantic projectil lol

Lock-ons also persist after a robot has left the maximum range of a weapon. Really, the whole lock-on aiming system is crap, and most weapons seem to have very arbitrary (and short) maximum ranges.

Subwep range is 40 longer than what's listed.

Or was it 30...

Yeah, I know, but on the pic for example, sub locked on, but main wouldn't even reach the barrier. Yes, I tried to shot it, no good.

Some weapons are annoying because they vanish right away. Though the targeting kinda of sucks anyway.
Muchi still has someone on lock-on, but shots won't reach them. Sure I have plenty of ammo to waste (in this case), but it's still annoying. :/
