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?

I haven't taken a tank in awhile so will have to go in when the arena is pretty full to test it out.
In the past I never experienced lag in a tank. It seems I only get lagged while flying.

I think netlag may be affected in AC vs GV's... it seems that even good hits on GV's may take awhile to sink in if at all...

I've seen micro warps while in a GV. It's most apparent when you're tracking am M16/M3 or M8, fire a shot and the target either lags and you shoot ahead or he micro warps and you put a crater behind him...I haven't seen anything that I was sure was rubber bullets, just an "interesting" GV damage model is all I seem to see
