An Imperial on Harbinger was able to move while sniping on his gunship. I've heard of strafing, but this dude was doing it in the open.

At first I thought, "Oh that is pretty cool."

And then I realized, "Wait I'm hitting dead center reticule and he is not taking any damage"

The fact that I can hit everyone else with my gunship proves that I am not having latency issues. The fact that he died zero times and had over 20 kills proves he isn't either.

Now if this is a secret way to sniping in that ship then teach me how. If it is hacking to move slow motion but just enough that nobody can hit you then that is *********.

Thoughts?

Your evidence is trully compelling

Strafing, evasion, your aim, your eyes, your brain. The problem is coming from one of those.

Or all of the above!

I know its not lag, because I could hit another gunship next to him just fine.

How does one strafe? Evasion can't be spammed that much though, I would be trying to hit him for 10+ seconds and nothing and I know my reticule was right on him.

Strafing is a well known way to move while sniping, not sure why this is surprising.

I frequently miss scouts and other gunships at times, I typically chalk this up to evasion (if your at range you may not see that he has DF popped). I hit wingman and try again (usually with a hit)

I don't hear anything strange from what your describing, mainly evasion and strafing.

Cool. How do you strafe?

Default to shift-WASD.
