Keep in mind that internet speed, that is the exchange of information from your computer to the servers (all the way in Russia) is not instantaneous. As a result, the movement you command your tank to do is actually a few milliseconds delayed when it reaches the servers. So in actual fact, the enemy clearly sees their railgun hitting you, even though it may seem like a miss to you.

i think your account lags, because they shoot u before u hide and after 10 second u see ur tank distroy even if no one was next to u, that happen sometime only when it lag.

But i have a very good ping

 

And another thing is that when i fire at someone ill slightly miss them, but it shows i hit them because i kill or either damage the tank

Looks like this was moved to General ^_^

 

Well, it could be due to lag, or it could be that you're suffering from the known problem in which the Rail hitbox extends beyond player's tanks. The devs are working on correcting the problem.

It actually has nothing to do with the oversized hitbox.

This is a delay due to a slow internet connection.

 

Resetting the home network/router solved some things for me.

Cleaning your cache might work aswell, but I'm not sure about that.

Really? I heard from other topics that it was :O

[splitterpoint 10,986]

It's a delay from information from the servers, to your PC (even more when your internet connection is bad)

Russian players rarely have this problem since they are closer to the server.

 

But in General, you can't really solve this.

Atleast not completely.

It's not necessarily your ping that's suffering - maybe slow Russian speeds, or a slight server hick-up.

Also, sometimes rail clips through a wall and hits you, probably because of the way the shot deviates toward the target.
