Not sure if there's been a thread on this yet so bleargh. Something that's always confused me is that when you fire Sprinkler at certain angles with certain powers, it starts acting weird. E.g.: try firing it up at 90 degrees with 100 power (without wind), and it comes down [I]next/I] to you. This happens with a lot of the angles near 90, and seems to vary with power; sometimes it jumps straight up or down, or just anywhere. I have found this is also a problem with Lob-O-Matic, but only when it is 'lobbing' (i.e. if you are right near the enemy tank when you shoot it.) It doesn't seem to make a difference when it's fired 'normally' to hit your enemy, only at angles and powers close to the user. And since it only happens with weapons that 'drop' other bullets I'm thinking it must have something to do with this. Maybe it's even meant to have, I don't know, I just want to see if anyone else has had this problem or knows why it happens. :confused:

And wow that is a huge rant @.@ I would make screenshots but I'm too lazy :(

Yeah, that is a wierd glitch!
It's been discussed before in my "crazy screenshots" topic, in which zetablack posted a picture of the lob-o-matic going off course:

oh and if you aim lob-o-matic at about 92 degress and 100 power and your next to the other tank and on the right side of the screen that the attack will go behind u
I think what happens with this, is that the lob-bombs are hitting the lob-emmitter, causing it to go off course.
It happens with sprinkler too, if you didn't notice.
They are the only two weapons that shoot as they fly across the sky.
