I have known netlag to seriously affect gunnery when flying fighter aircraft. (On the dark side, it was a
terrible problem)
In all sims, what I have noticed about netlag its greatest effect is felt when firing guns with a slow rate of fire. No wonder I could never get any kills flying Me109E
In AH the GVs and field guns have a very slow rate of fire compared with fighters armed with .50 cal. Sometimes, I can zap a passing plane at 1500 yards from the field gun. Sometimes I'm blasting away, and the rounds seem to pass through the target. Well yesterday, I had a PNZR at 174 yards, and I blasted it with the field gun. Nothing happened. I landed at least 25 rounds, and in desperation aimed at different parts of it, until he zapped me. WTF!?
Then tonight, I got a PNZR at more than 1000 yards - all it took was about 6 hits! See attached film clip - (it's not that good, but proves the point).
Does netlag affect
your ground gunnery?
