Why do your shells get deleted when you die

Originally posted by Darpmasta_gaming: Why do your shells get deleted when you die You can see any vehicle, both can fire at the same time, but whoever has higher shell velocity always wins, accuracy doesn't even matter anymore. If you die or your gunner dies or your breach dies, your fired shell just utterly dissapears.

They don't.
If you manage to shot/launch your ammunition (server registered moment of it), it stays on battlefield until hit something (or fly away outside map - whole map, not only map visible as minimap).
You can check it by yourself in any server replay.

Login with your game account. Launch game and stay in hangar. Alt-tab to replay site. Find replay you want to check, launch it on site and alt-tab back to game. You will see server side replay of whole battle.

Popular misconception - my shell disappear when I die comes from lag between you and the server. If server did not recorded your shot and you died right after (because for you - 0ms ping, 0%PL you manage to shot, but for example you had 60ms delay to server) it still possible you will see, that you shot (client side), but in reality, you did not manage to do that (because delay between you and server was higher than time between your shot and your dead).

It's same for all online games (that use server side calculation, which is lik 99% of pvp games).
