My little delay problem

[tuton25]

I was flying my mossie when I hoed a N1K, hitting him repeatedly from D1000 when he aparently didn't take any damage, rammed me, and got the kill.....
how do I tell how much delay I have???
It has something to do with ping right???

[morfiend]

 Why did he "ram" you?

   Are you sure you didn't collide with him?


  You can check your ping times when you enter an arena,however that's only half of the delay,you must include the other players ping time also. Unfortunately there's no way to know that unless you ask them and he/she happens to know it.

   Not really my place to say but I think I'd be more concerned with tactics than ping times..... but that's just me.

you're HOing and spraying at someone at d1000?

 

[Fonzy]

LMAO!  I see things haven't changed in my absence.  Step #1 don't HO... its just stupid, secondly....  don't go nose to nose with an idiot in a N1k.   

[tuton25]

Well its a mossie with nose mounted guns so there isn't to much variation in the convergence...
Plus it has hispanos....

[tuton25]

So I checked my Ping and its around 70ish...
this seems kinda high.....

70 is decent ping.  I bet you were firiing all guns right?  Probably hit him with the 303s and the 20s went low.

my ping is 150-200 and I have no problems

I rested the pipper on the top of his engine cowl.... the .303 should have went into the canopee whereas the 20mm should have been in the engine....

at d1000?

you should stick to tanking

[icepac]

My ping was 450 for 2 years but it was consistent at that figure so the "smoothing code" must really be good here at aces high.

Mine now hovers around 250 and things are a little better but I tried it from work a few days ago with a ping of 70 and the game became much easier.

Erm, no.  The .303s and the 20mms have very different muzzle velocities and trajectories.  Browning .50s and Hispano Mk IIs are as well matched as two completely different guns can be.  .303s not so much.  At 1000 yards if you were hitting with the .303s you were assuredly missing with the 20mms.

Yup.  20mm would've gone just under his nose.

Easier?

So, if in Europe they have pings much higher than ours in the US, are you saying European players have it harder?

Does that mean a very good European player could do even better with the lower ping we have here?

Way back when we still had the H2H arenas, my normal ping for MA would be slightly over 200. Due to an oncoming scenario we did some H2H practicing with a private server in our country, only 300 miles away. The ping for me dropped to about 30 and to my surprise I could outperform co-players whom I considered superior to me. I still suck in combining lead and net delay in MA.
