Before claiming that the JAW is bugged (BTW, ITS NOT), you should do some research/testing FIRST.

First of all if you fire the JAW at a target that is CLOSE to you, it will not explode.

Like on a crash site game when I'm up on a roof and I see a squad of juicy targets running around the pod, I whip that bad boy out to take out a few of them and I fire and nothing happens. It's like the rocket fires and then shoots off into space and disappears.


Before claiming that you understand the thread(BTW, YOU DONT), you should do some reading FIRST.

First of all if you reply a thread that you DIDNT read, it will not work.

ONTOPIC: I like the JAW very much, have it on level 3, on all classes, capped it pretty soon after unlock. Misfires once and then, I believe it has something to do with distance. But they work on Ceph ships, hmm... they do go poof once in a while though. I guess it has a range variable? Haven't really looked into it.

WOW! What a bunch of clueless people in here...

THE JAW IS NOT BUGGED.

Holly sweet crap you almost make fun of yourself! How about you do YOUR research before you put your giant foot in your mouth!

If you had taken the time to read the posts before you decided to get your troll on you would notice we've addressed the range issue. I did my own testing by shooting at things at all ranges. Close, near, and far and sometimes the rocket just flies off into nothingness.

If you want videos I'm gonna take the time to make a few momentarily.

i was too lazy too read all posts, but here is
ANSWER: it won't fire if target is closer then 8m
just close this thread

I've had a couple of other people ask about this during a few games.

It seems like the JAW misfires about 50% of the time. Like on a crash site game when I'm up on a roof and I see a squad of juicy targets running around the pod, I whip that bad boy out to take out a few of them and I fire and nothing happens. It's like the rocket fires and then shoots off into space and disappears.

I know I'm not missing. Like I said it's about 50% of the time. I know when I miss.

It's kinda like a dud. This happened three times to me about 15 minutes ago before I quit because the server was laggy as hell.

It also seems to happen with the noob tube when I use it on any gun. Ironically enough I'm really horrible with it, so when it magically does decide to work properly I usually screw it up so it doesn't bother me that much.

You get the sound of the rocket firing, but there's no impact of any kind. More than a few times I swear I can actually see the rocket shoot off in some random direction only to impact on nothing like I didn't even fire it. I know I'm keeping the laser where I want it to go, and it just flies off and disappears.

Anyone else experience this?

I've noticed all kinds of bad things that are far worse than in C1. Physics in general seem to be screwed.

Anyone who says "It only works from a distance"
Is lying.
I've fired it from very far away and it still disappears.
It will disappear at any distance I fire it at really.

Same problem here on grenade luanchers.
I'm guessing that it's a lag issue though

Fix the Jaw...
50% are Missfires because they dont explode <.<

Getting this at all ranges as well. Maybe we should keep in mind that Detonation Delay III is supposed to do exactly we're encountering here. Problem is, I usually get killed off by the person I (mis)fired the JAW at but Killcam shows they don't have Detonation Delay III.

Hey Cry-Tek, what's the range on Detonation Delay III?
Just wondering if this explains the JAW issues. (Perhaps we fire JAWs through the effective range of Det.DelayIII and it kills the missile?)

Yeah, I noticed this too. Normally, I shoot with the JAW from one end of the map to the other. And in about 50% it works. (For example, I shoot from near the lighthouse and kill the enemy at the HMG at the other end of the map). But the other 50%, I don't even get to see a explosion. It's like the rocket would disappear halfway. It isn't crashing into some obstacle, it just....disappears.

Jaw shouldnt be a player killer imo, instead it should be a 1shot ceptship

Seems to be the most plausible explanation here. Depending on how det delay works it might disarm any JAW within a det delay III user's radius. If it was large enough an enemy could be behind or beside you and render the missile useless the moment it leaves the launcher. You wouldn't even need to have him in your field of vision.

Right. But try to hit a cephship with it. You most probably will fail. The rockets are too slow.

Ive actually killed someone with a dud JAW missile, repeatedly bouncing into their head. Has got to be one of the weirdest kills Ive seen.

the jaw svcks really! I hate this weapon. My explodes disappears in a short range and the enemy kills me then. WTF IS WRONG WITH THIS MP?!?!?!
