Ever since the aim changes, I've noticed I can't aim at certain people.

There was a guy in a river last night. I had my reticle directly on him, but it wouldn't turn red, and all my shots kept going way over his head. Needless to say, I died. I've had this happen multiple times. Trying to aim into trenches, aim at people on broken bridges, aim at people on rocks, etc. Reticle won't turn red, line won't turn red, shots just keep going too high, or too low.

Is it my camera angle? Some weird reticle hitbox shenanigans? I don't know, but it's incredibly annoying when it happens.

It's pretty situational. If you're shooting from trenches at trenches, I find aiming directly on them to work best. If they're super close, you can aim past and hit them. If they're mid-range or long-range, aiming just before them should hit pretty often.

If the elevation is wonky then it changes things a bit.

Watching a few videos on how to shoot can show this visually. Some weapons also seem far more accurate than others. Reticle also matters. Where you can breathe and aim longer, let your reticle get nice and small too.

Also latency and desync can be a big problem, indeed playing from outback Australia sometimes my truck will clip another truck, spin to the right, then decide actually that never happened and re-draw on the road having passed normally. Not because of magic, but simply because the two vehicles were not actually precisely where my client thought they were.

Collies probably hate me when I sticky rush their tanks, because its entirely possible they have the same thing in reverse. But the network coding is what it is, the server is where it is, and sometimes Foxhole is just Foxhole and things that should never happen ... do.

Absolutely take the time to watch videos and practice, but if aiming gets too hard join the collies, and use Bombastones, Luniaire, and Dusk. I know I use Fiddlers because yes, sometimes Colonials simply seem to dodge every bullet, but I know I live in the middle of nowhere currently so I simply try to not use single shot weapons because the collies are literally not where I thought they were.

The thing is, my character will sometimes be aiming at a completely wrong elevation, even though I'm covering over someone or something way below me. It's infuriating when I can't shoot someone, because my character is just shooting way over their head, despite me aiming behind them, or directly on them. I never had this issue in the past.

It's not lag or desync. I played on hotspot for some time, but I have really good internet now. It's just that my character isn't aiming at the correct height.

Are you able to record what you mean? Might help us spot what you're doing/correct it if possible.

I had that too and found a solution. It still SUCKS though. I don't know why the devs insist on the mouse wheel being used for the camera elevation (its pointless) rather than let people use the mouse wheel to raise or lower the weapon aimpoint from the ground.

The solution I found is built in to the game: When you put the crosshair directly on target the color of the crosshair will change. When its full white with yellow it will miss. If its just white with black dot in center it will hit. If white with red dot in middle then the shot will hit something in front of the target.

No, it has nothing to do with the white LOS line nor the yellow elevation line. Its the dot in the very center of the aimpoint.
