In WWIIOL, where I hail from, there used to be pilots who had a "lag switch". They wired a switch up to part of their modem/router(not sure how or which one), and would flip the switch on and off rapidly when they got into trouble. This caused them to lag erratically but stay connected because they switched the internet on and off so quickly. I am not saying that this works in AH, but people have come up with some pretty crazy things before  :old:

This kind of thing also happens during alien abductions. lol... Youre in your car then you disappear only to reappear six days later still in your car smoking a Cuban cigar 500 miles away.  Did you know Elvis is still alive ? omglol... He's not sure if he was abducted or warping.   :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol

Even if you normally have a very solid connection you can at times experience warps. From my personal experience if you see everyone else warping it is probably you that is having the issue.

  Agreed. However, there were more people than normal complaining of warps and disconnects.  And that makes me wonder...

When you see a player warp conveniently or disappear when you are taking your shot, hit alt R and review your recordings later on. You can see from your prospective or theirs. Youtube is full of " how to make a lag switch " videos. Check 'em out and you will understand the so called convenient warp.  There is a difference between an occasional warp and the player that uses it to avoid being shot down. If your convinced he's using the lag switch, send in your recordings. When you see an IL2 disappear every time he is shooting at a Wirble or Ostie you know he is using it.  :D

Why do players use it? 



Because they can.
