Sorry, just have to vent a little frustration after last night's event.

I was flying an Actis (yeah, don't even start with me

) during the event last night, and got myself tucked in neatly behind a Royal Guard Interceptor. I'd guess it was running a crafted engine, because I stayed neatly in behind it and it couldn't get away.

I spent the next minute pounding, trying to find a spot that I could hit. Shields kept flashing, no damage taken. I finally got tired of trying and called for backup on TeamSpeak. A couple of the X-wings came over and someone either hit it with missiles or got a better shot than I did in.

But sheesh...I've never had that much trouble hitting something that wasn't juking.

the hit box is the top of the ball, you have to "scalp" it

but yes it needs to be fixed.

i shot a missile at an rgi yesterday. we were at about 100m apart and he had no counters. it missed. the next one hit and converted most ofhis shipsmass into pure energy (i LOVE nukes) but still, that really pissed me off that the ship is so bugged a missile failed to impact.

Yeah, I know where it is...I just couldn't find it. Tried adjusting my lead and so forth...just couldn't get a hit.

tell me about it, first one i fought was the worst flying ship id ever seen. i think he had a crafted engine and didnt know about droid commands. i spent the next 10min righ on his tail pouring blaster fire into his ship, and nothing regestered. for a few minutes he was fllying STRAIGHT!!! no manuvering at all! and i STILL MISSED EVERY SHOT.

finaly i hit him though, and i imediatly landed to mount a missile rack. now every rgi i find overt gets a mkII spacebomb compliments the alliance.

Had a fight with a guy the other wek in DS and he was flying a RG Int. I was in my nonROTW Xwing and spent at least 15 mins dogfighting with him, the best i did was 5 seperate hits that just took his shield down a bit.

It seems the only way to get a hit is from directly above onto the top of the ball cockpit or hitting the top front or top rear of the cockpit from straight on. you cant score ANY hits from the side or bottom, so a canny pilot can always keep those areas facing you!

Anyway the pilot was a nice guy and iafter i went off to pick up some missiles to get him I explained the problem with the RG Ints hitbox. He geuninely didnt seem to know about it and ever since ive seen him in a JSF which although im not fond of them at least you can hit them.

But like most good pilots I learnt from the fact I couldnt kill him, I dropped the 3rd Adv blaster I have and replaced it with a heavy blaster and a mark 3 proton launcher and had a bit of room for extras. Now when I see RG Ties i say "Yum yum" and eat em up!

EDIT - It should be noted that most of my hits came when i gained seperation and turned for a head to head, I aimed slightly higher than normal. However while dogfighting him I was spraying fire all over him and in 15 mins got 2 or 3 single barrel hits!

And therein lies the reason why i never go anywere without my missiles.

Just a pity that the ship is nearly unshootable, because it looks so cool and apart from the hitbox is probably one of the more balanced ROTW ships. And its Imperial, not some clone junker, I like killing Impys.

I dont understand how people can shoot the RG TIE. It just looks too cool, I could never bring myself to press the fire button

I was just goofing off with my friend who has a RGI and i was in a dunelizard.

I noticed that my wing weapons wouldnt not hit at all no matter how far away i was even both of us sitting still with memovingmy targeter all around the hit box. My nose weapon had no problems hitting it sitting still but was hard to get a lock when moving. Im guessing the best ship to nail it with would be a kimo or krayt with the 2 tiny nose weapons shots. But try hanging with a RGI in one of those. And try hitting that small hitbox with those two tiny shots while in a full on dogfight.

Guess ill just go with missiles and epulse ftw.

Only time ive hit an RGtie is with my Xwing, but noiw you mention it I never killed it on a head to head just knocked the shields down, must have been gun 3 hitting it then.
