Show a hit at once on your own screen, then take it back if the server says no

Waiting for the server before showing a hit makes shooting feel dead, but showing it at once and being wrong feels like a lie. This entry shows a middle way that feels immediate, what to display for which moment, and what to do with answers that never come.

Why this works

Waiting for an answer makes a shot feel dead, but showing the result too early can lie. Splitting feedback into a cheap instant sign on your own screen and the real numbers from the server gives responsiveness without false scores.

When not to use it

Skip it when a wrong hint would hurt, as with a big reveal of a kill, or where a marker taken back feels like cheating. In slow games, or on a fast local network, simply wait for the server.
