even when the worm was clearly nailed, they still say "Missed!" sometimes...

this can happen if the synchronization has been late (lagging player, for example) to display a proper damage

This should be fixed in the newest build 0.0.147/ But as always, let us know if you see it again.

if it's related to synchronization, then no, it isn't fixed still.
sometimes there is a pause in synchronization when the missile stops in mid-air (network lag or something) and the worm already says "missed" because it didn't yet hit the enemy.

Ok, thanks for the report. There's a newer build we're playing around with now that should sort some more issues out related to this, but we're planning something else that might help. I'll make sure we check in the newest build and if not, look into other fixes for the issue
