Thoughts -

a) Too many mini warps.
b) Planes dissappear underground then reappear some distance away.
c) Planes appear not to be aligned with the flightpath.

Overall -
Please go back to the way things were, as it stands its ludicrous.

Just curious if the AH films sent in show these issues or if we should film it with a 3rd party screen capture so you can see what "we" see?

My gunnery has become "weird" after it. Planes pass right trough my bullet stream at 200 yards (my convergence range) without taking a hit.

And I got accused of "pulling my cord" last night. Also seeing more weird warps now, hardly ever saw warps before.

How does smoothing effect gunnery?  

given that it is actually "smoother" ?

I have not noticed much change other than less warpage...........


then my gunnery sucks anyway

I have not seen any warps recently.  I have a DSL connection.  I know everyone tired of hearing this but...is the problem on your end?  My ping is around 94, a bit worse after the server change (used to be 63).  It seems to me when my ping time increased it was easier to gun other aircraft.  Anyway no warps here...average connection and average computer.  The last major update got rid of warps for me.  I used to see planes warp and go underground as well.

ive seen more mini warps in dogfights since the tweaking last 2 patches then before. especially in 20 or more plane figts at bases.  makes gunnery hard  from GVs and planes.  the warping gets worse as more planes join the fight.

the same as wilbuz.  The plane passing thru bullet stream with no hits is really getting old. Ive talked to my squaddies about this one, ive tweaked my system everyway posted on these here boards and some other boards.  Its getting to be not much fun.

I thought i was the only one with this problem..

I dont know if this has anything to do with smoothing, but ever since the latest patch  came out, i keep getting warps as i get close to airplanes. So  much so its unplayable.

Ping, ping plotter and connection during  the game is good, everything is smooth no problems, no packet loss, etc but as soon as i get close to enemy/friendly planes, the net status screen (upper graph) goes crazy, and planes start to warp.

Well I was in a Ta152 engaging some B24s and used 90 30mm rounds and over 150 20mm rounds on 2 bombers, getting countless hit sprites along the fuselage and wing root of both and no damage except a stupid fuel leak in one of them.

Somebody else said they were getting the same thing and thought it was the smoothing code. Scapegoat or not, I present it agains the smoothing code. P.S. I think I got it on film too.

Same here. Since v. 2.06 was released, everytime I'm within 1.5 K range from other planes, I get mini warpings... and I play H2H, no more than 7 other people around...

Havent had any problems, I havent seen the mini warps you describe.

Rather than *assuming* its all the games fault, what, per chance, are your pings and traceroutes?

My ping is less than 40ms, my net status is almost flat every time I check it. Tracert shows nothing major. I'm on 3.5MBps cable.
