Another factor is think we all in different country's and depending on connection speed depends on whether or not you get the kill. I mean a squadie and i did a test we both took off from the same field and he followed me to the almost exact same manoeuvre and when we com paired film times his take-off was actually 4 seconds before me and on my screen i went first and he was behind me. So remember there can be up-to 2-4 seconds difference on your screen than some other players who is 1000 miles away. So he may have thought yes killed him but nope as the other players screen said other wise.
The best thing to explain it is have you ever had a bandit dive at you from either 2 or 10 o'clock high and fire and see all his tracer fly past and not hear a single hit sound. And the next second your wing fly's off in to space EH i bet you have
that is lag we all have it some way more than other's its a thing we have to get used to. as it takes all those tiny electrons longer to get from Start to a finish thats 1000 miles away than a finish that's 200 miles away.
Argue if you wish
