I seem to remember that new skins also cause skips because the first time you see a new skin on another plane, a graphic image is created and cached for the first time. Once you've processed them all, the skips slow way, way down.

In other words, I think the new skins cause brief delays on our computers more than on the servers.

I think what he's getting at is that all those files are being transmitted in addition to all the game data. While those with fast connections are probably better off, I can tell an immediate difference in the quality of my connection when I'm downloading skins. I would think, that no matter how fast the servers are, that a hundred files of several MBs in size going out to several hundred players simultaneously would have some sort of effect.

No idea how HTC sets their stuff up, just guessing at this.

This kinda thing has happened to me, the problem is, that little gun that fires wit the 30mm.  If u notice how slow the 30mm fires u would notice sometimes its the little guns hitting not the 30

You need to film it. There are sticks in this game that can do a high chandelle or other reversal, and clean your clock, leaving you in disbelief.

Film will show warps/FE problems...It will also show pilot skill.
