RenamedUser_92906789 Players 5,828 posts Report post #1 Posted January 14, 2021 This is a bug old as the game itself. But lately its worse and worse. Just today I had 3 games where guns and torps would not fire for at least 5-10 seconds. No lag issues, ping normal, no shuttering or lag spikes ... so I don't know what is happening. @MrConway since you are the only one still partly active WG staff member on the forum - I am pinging you, so that maybe, just maybe you can use some internal channel to ping the developers to look into the problem. EDIT: I have highlighted the question on today's stream. I got an answer that the bug is difficult to locate / identify / fix and was asked to submit a ticket with attached replay. I did (ticket id: 129105368). Hopefully developers identify the problem and fix it, because of all the bugs this one is purely game-breaking.

Humorpalanta ∞ Players 2,025 posts 13,785 battles Report post #2 Posted January 14, 2021 I just smash the mouse till it fires. But I love the fact when i shoot the 1st turret and second one doesn't shoot whatever I do and 1st turret reloads and shoots again. :D I mean. Just WHAT. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[NTT] arquata2019_ Players 2,248 posts 17,480 battles Report post #3 Posted January 14, 2021 that doesn't affect me since a while, after i changed computers no problems whatsoever. (i shouldn't post here because i am not affected BUT ok) i don't think its lag because i had it when i had a mediocre computer for this game, but i am sure everyone affected by the problem is having a nice computer to play this game... otherwise i would only ping a wg staff and leave the job to him Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[AAO] Paimentaja Players 396 posts 24,513 battles Report post #6 Posted January 14, 2021 This is a highly frustrating bug. There is definitely something gone from bad to worse. I’ve had several cases where I have pre-selected another shell type and after reload, tried to shoot. Not only the fact that guns will not fire in several seconds, but when they finally do, only one turret will fire. First few cases I blamed myself for turning the ship or guns, but now after several cases I’m convinced that it is not the case, since this happens even on stationary ships. Can happen multiple times in one battle, too. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good that it worked for you! Months ago I partly upgraded my PC because I suspected my equipment to cause that delayed firing. And I needed a bigger SSD, so why not upgrade to a brand new router, faster memory etc. Didn´t help at all. I even removed my 160€-soundcard and use on-board sound - didn´t help (Creative-soundcards are known to cause problems). My ping is always at 35msec, unchanged in the last 5 years. So I blame it on WG´s side. (This is not to contradict you arquata, just sharing my efforts and results in trying to resolve this issue) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agree with this comment, it's far more noticeable on my Jean Bart, particularly after using the reload booster. Had a particularly frustrating experience earlier today where I wasn't able to get off a final salvo at a broadside gneisenau with a little over 1k hp left, leaving his secondaries to strip the last 3k off my ship for the win .
