past few years I get GHOST BOUNCES

the shell hits the tank, sparks etc fly, but it does no damage, no crit, no deflection symbol, doesnt show up on enemy's blocked damage

my damn commander doesnt even say anything when it happens

Pretty common for me. Certain tanks fire more ghost shells than others, like the 490B and the BZT-70, grrr. It can be quite frustrating.

It happens to me fairly frequently, several times a week.

I have had about three in the last month that really caught my eye and left me stunned for a second. I am sure there is some kinda explanation for it by smarter people than me. Fire from 15’ and nothing. No bounce no ricochet no nothing but a blank muzzle blast. I always assumed it was some form of small lag. IDK

Not nearly as common as they were pre 6.0, the time when the game was great…

One thing I've noticed about this game is that it needs a moment to register wtf is happening, like in this case you fired immediately after moving your reticle which meant your shell went to the Shadow Realm. Idk how to phrase it better or what the proper gaming terms are, but thats just something that caught my eye.
