Started seeing hitmarker sparks mid fight at range

So I was sniping a Mili-tank in the farmlands just now, it was walking away from me. Usually I see the components break, explode or fall off after a few shots but no hitmarkers. This time I went for the fuelcell first, no markers and it blew like usual but later on I started seeing hitmarks at around 300m…

Has anyone else noticed changes in the drawdistance for hitmarkers?

edit Maybe I didnt word it correctly or you guys didnt read it correctly… :wink:

What I’m seeing IS sparks showing at around 300m, coming from nowhere in the middle of a fight. I’ll keep an eye out next time and try and replicate at range.
My thought were that maybe the devs are tampering with added drawdistance but it might also just be a one off glitch.

Here is a clip to better show it, sparks start at 50sec into the fight.

Yes. Beyond a certain range the damage will still be done, but you will not see the shower of sparks. You will see pieces like machine guns, tick pods, or mortars fall off.

Yeah that’s normal for me to. The “sparking” animation is just to far away to render for us.
