Why are my opponent's Scorpion able to hit me even at close range, while my scorpion only hits targets very far away?

[Generalissimo 40]

I just got Scorpion from container and I am confused (maybe because mine is only Mk0?) but when my rockets shoot at my opponent, unless they are very far away, it wont get them, it'll most of the time overshoot. However an opponent can shoot at me literally from a few meters away and the rockets will still get to me? Also another thing, unless I am hiding very close against a high wall/building, enemy's rockets are able to get me, however my rockets will miss even when opponent are just driving fast?? 

Will it get better with upgrade or do I need some sort of augment?

Stock Scorpion's big disadvantage is its big "blind spot" where the rockets can't hit right in front of you; that is what you face right now.

The UC exotic augment "Missile Launcher Swarm" makes it possible to use rockets at short range, which is what your opponent was using:

Maximum rocket speed: +100%
Rocket angular velocity: +40%
Salvo reload time: -50%
Aiming time: -75%
Pause between salvo's rockets: -30%
Rockets per salvo: -4 (6 total)
Minimum rocket speed: -88%

The important part here being this: "Rocket angular velocity: +40%". The rockets will turn faster and thus be able to hit closer targets. Note how Swarm also increases rocket speed, which makes it easier to hit mobile targets.

Sadly, Swarm is only available in exotic UCs now, so good luck getting it.

Yeah, it was available for everyone who bought into the Summer Major eSports Tanki Fund.

 

The Augment also reduces the total amount of missiles in the salvo by 4.  (6 missiles in salvo)

Yep, but it's only in exotic UCs now.
