00.79 chasing missile bug

[DrChillgood]

Chasing missiles fire slower if they are locked on to a target as opposed to being fire without a lock. I'm not sure if that's intentional or not but it seemed like a bug to me so I thought I should report it.

I would assume that is because either:

1. 
   There is actual calculations going on, slowing it down OR
2. 
   It just appears that way because of turning

Well, calculating trajectory relative to processing power of computers stopped being a problem like 30 years ago so I don't think that having to calculate anything would require the missiles to fly slower ^^

 

[Zer0t3ch]

Yes, but this is java we're talking about, not the computers processing power. That's the same reason that explosions take a while to be calculated, but if it were in a language like C++ it would go just as fast as the computer could handle.

Oh god, stop with this Java thing. If it was coded in Python then I could understand your concerns, but Java is not slow. it is in fact slower than C++, but it's not a difference that matters.
And the processing power I was talking about is processing power of ingame CPUs.
