I stayed for a couple of minutes trying my best to aim properly and nothing happens. Then i just switch to Acid´s and it´s gone in the same amount time as it was supposed to take when at full health.....!?

And how close are you to them when you throw?

Generally I am as far away as possible to maximize my splash damage and minimize my risk. Often I shoot walls where the splash damage will hurt buildings, but the turrets lack LOS. It really just takes a little bit of personal style to get use to.
When I was firing bile bomb I was hitting for I believe 60-80 on a whole mass of buildings, possibly more, and I ALWAYS play as a fade when we have 3 Hives. I have never had a problem with a bile bomb, except for that explanation I gave on how turret targetting can be screwy.
Edit: Oh yeah and bile bomb wasn't working well for me either. I don't know why, the marines were not healing them(so I believe(no welder sounds and I was pretty close)).
And another thing. We had all 3 Hives and no matter what i did, i couldn´t Blink. Everyone around me where blinking like mad people (their base was almost down) and having fun, but i couldn´t!? What gives?
On a side note, i was hitting them on the gun part of the sentry most of the time. Maybe its a hitbox issue or something?

you need to have your crosshair pointed above the horizen in order to blink. first try blinking up elevators, that's the easiest for me, then slowly try blinking horazontally (you have to aim up somewhat). Jumping while you blink adds an extra boost (think of blink as a REALLY quick and shallow jump).
also, what feature is this that you speak of that shows dammage done? Is that in console? I.E. "you hit turret with bile bomb for 50 points of dammage" message?
Also, I watched two Fades launch Bile Bombs at a cluster of turrets for well over a minute, and they did absolutely no damage to them. The turrets just wound up killing the Fades.
No, i just walk up to it and look at the circle around it. It was always at almost full green circle.
And thanks for the Blinking tips i´ll try it tomorrow.
Yeah, I've taken out plenty of enemies with it, that's for certain.
Each model has both a hitbox, and a bounding box.
If something is outside of the bounding box, it will NOT be collidable, regardless of anything else.
if something is both inside the bounding box AND inside the hitbox, it will be shootable. But only then. So if you want to see where something is shootable, superimpose both bounding box AND hitbox.
AFAIK the bounding box is often set in the code, so it would be hard to tell.
A few versions ago of Counter-Strike this became very apparent, as a crouching CTs/T's head would be outside his bounding box and thus unshootable, even though there was a head hitbox.
