Planet Siege Missiles have faulty hit register |

Can't seem to pin down exactly what's wrong. Sometimes they hit, but most of the time they do not.
I noticed that on equatorial structures, especially against the orange defense/offense bases, they seem to hit reliably, but fail to hit generators, depots, green structures for some reason.
While they can hit troops on the poles, I noticed that only firing sequentially and fanning the missiles out had any appreciable results, and even then, we're talking maybe a 5-10% of missiles fired even causing a scratch.
For comparison, a single corvette mirv is sufficient to kill a 6-stack of infantry. They can easily sweep all the infantry off a planet in 30 seconds, 5 seconds if they're all on one hemisphere.

What range were you firing from? Close up, missiles are going to suck. Best range to fire is about 2/3 max range.

I was firing from about 1400, is that too far?

Could be desync (i.e. missiles being shot down by other ships not registering to your client). Was the planet's defense value 100%+?

I don't believe so, maybe 6% PD or so?
If you like I could help test it with you, maybe you can spot a desync that isn't appearing on my end (like missiles taking a wildly different path than what I'm seeing)
