Yeah I do. I remember when you could fly over a base at 20+k in a fighter and watch the line form behind you. Ever since 1.04 or so I've been nailed every time doing that. In some other thread Pyro said it was too taxing on people's computers to reset the 88s back. I call bull because I'm on the slowest computer here!! It never impacted FR, always produced a killer effect, and might actually get you. With the current 88s all you have to do is count to 15. If you haven't been blown to scrap by then, you won't get hit at all.
