Does anybody else have this problem_ Often at CQC with my Scout, Berserker, and Vanguard, TOWs and grenades often don't airburst when I need them to. This happens when using right OR middle click soon after firing the projectile. I know the problem can't be my mouse, because I never experience dropped right- or middle-clicks in the OS or other games.

There's a time frame (I believe it's a second) after launching the TOW/Grenade where you can't detonate it.

Not really. You can detonate it pretty much right in front of your face.

Answering the OP post, this is most likely the packet loss issue. If you have ping above 100 then it's certainly the case.

Strangely, it's also almost certainly not packet loss because I'm on university internet (<40 ping).

for me, I have about 100ping as well, ususal I cant airburst a gl or tow round until its about a mirv distance away from me which ahl says is 75meters. so basicly 100ping is 1/10 of a second, so basicly  its about .72 game meters per ping point.

I did the math for you now, so be happy.

My guess is that the problem is with your mouse or key bindings.  You should list what kind of mouse you use and if it comes with a program that you can map the buttons etc.

I have no problems detonating a Tow or Grenade practically in front of my face like has been already mentioned.

I would like to disagree about the post about higher pings being an issue.  200 ping is playable and happens all the time when someone from the West coast plays on the East and vice versa.

Packet loss isn't necessarily related to high ping, although that does increase the risk somewhat.

There are services set up by some ISPs which reduce packet loss but increase your ping, so that can happen too.

It's true, every so often I spam the airburst button to no avail.
I Run Nohboardon my stream so you can actually see it bugging in recordings.
I have 2 ways to airburst, secondaries. Shift key or hittng mouse2 a second time.
Sometimes it just doesn't take.

I don't think the middle mouse button can be used for manual detonation....
