Tracking a concealed target bug?

[fish_Jones]

I almost forgot that this happened, but 2 maybe 3 days ago I was playing (I believe on Hotspot) in my NC over on the east side of the map with all the small islands and capture point that DD's just love to hang around. An enemy DD popped up and I started tracking him 12-13 km away trying to line up a shot when he vanished. I almost lined up another target when I realized that the "auto-tracking" of the DD didn't stop. I hadn't locked onto anything else, so I decided to fire despite the fact that the DD had been invisible for +4 seconds when I fired. I still managed to get some hits on target and damage him.

Sometimes I've noticed that my guns will start tracking a target when I should be able to detect them, but for some reason or other my computer won't load them in visually for another second or two, but this DD remained undetected for the duration of my shell-travel time and it didn't stop tracking until a second or two after my shells hit.

maybe its client side and has something to do with your graphic settings

Maybe, but I don't think there were any islands in our line of sight. He popped smoke and that's what concealed him. If I should have been able to see him, he definitely should have been able to see me, but situational awareness never went off. I'm running next to highest settings on a computer with 8 gigs ram and fast internet speed. There are more stats but they elude my memory right now.

I still notice this every now and then. You'll be looking at something and your view will lock on to something invisible for 4-5 seconds. Also happens a lot when DDs vanish. You'll remain locked onto them for a bit

It's just a client thing, it happens.
