Just had a very weird thing happen.  Apparently I hit the back of a torp and it got me.  Anyone ever see this before?

And I thought it was a clean dodge... :sceptic:

That's not a clean dodge considering the very wide spread and the fact you turned into it. You should've been able to miss it with lots more room to spare!

Your ship must have one of those long bulbous extensions the current freighters use....

I sure could have, but I thought I was fine, and was on my way to re-engage.  I've cut right behind torps plenty of times before without that happening.  The 2nd pic clearly shows the torp past my bow already.

Gonna have to agree with the desync diagnosis.  Worst example of it I've experienced was one time when I was lagging so badly that my Minekaze got detonated by a torp that looked like it should have passed half a ship length in front of her from my end.  Luckily haven't come close to seeing anything like it since upgrading my hardware...fingers crossed that I never will again. :sceptic:

Yea, I'm pretty sure that's what it was now.  Just burned me up though considering, as someone pointed out, I could have easily given it a wide berth.

 

I can't attach a replay file to a post, and I'm not going to bother with youtube, but if you saw the replay, I had basically already dodged and made a conscience decision to cut behind them to get back on the attack.  The warning beeping actually stopped a second or two before it got me.

As Chief Boland used to say: "That's what you get for doing your own thinking." :P
