Do we "have" to have the UDP switch?

Fariz, the UDP/TCP switch has always been there, HTC just tweaked it as there were a few slipping through the cracks. If it happens a lot it means you have a dodgey connection, and may well have been one of those invisible planes

For me that "problem solve" created more problems than solved. I heard about invinsible planes, but never saw them, or never were in one. In contrast, UDP/TCP switch spoil couple sortie every day, I have to rtb and land, because flying with TCP is warpy for me.

What I wonder, if it is possible for system to detect if connect is ok now, and after some time switch back to UDP again? If it is impossible during flight, may be it is possible to do on runway, during refuel?

I think HT said once  they are sent UDP but with a confirmation within the game for re-transmission if necessary. Although I do recall him saying it was still possible for the gun packets to get lost in extreme circumstances.

Position packets are fine for UDP, but I sure hope the gun packets aren't sent via UDP, unless there's a sequence tag associated with them for re-transmisison.
