I guess the effects are more pronounced because things are moving slower?
last night, several times against 1 particular pilot we would get into a turn fight and be literally cockpit to cockpit.. if I looked straight up he was parallel, but he would shoot and I would take damage. on my end he was nowhere even close to having a gun solution, he was no closer to getting on my 6 than I was his.. I noticed this a few times, then after I got shot down by a tree, the other guy that went in against him (same guy I was fighting) made a comment on country to the same effect "no way did he have a gun solution, how was he hitting me?!"
he didnt appear overly laggy or warpy or anything..
this happened consistently over the course of several engagements
-
What kind of plane was he flying?, the F2B has a second gunning postion, he could of had a gunner along

It's the other way round. The effects are much less pronounced because the planes are moving much slower.
-
I'm getting a lot of lag or FR hits from the planes also..and it seems to get worse sometimes,don't know why yet.I just chalk it up to old computer.
(EDIT) I have not tried playing with the new patch today yet.

Well i have only spent about an hour total in WW1, but this was the first time (and only thus far) that I had encountered this oddness, I would have written it totally off as an issue on my end till someone else who was fighting him made the same comment.
I think yes he was in a F2b but I don't think the rear gun can traverse to shoot directly up can it? thought it was pretty limited, if it can then he had a gunner riding with him and that explains everything.
that also makes 2 people in a FB2 lethal to the point that there is almost no point in trying to fight one.

The FB2 rear gun is very lethal, and has a pretty good traverse.
Take a look at this thread towards the bottom of page one.

Ummmmm...........unless you're fighting him in a FB2

1 person in a F2b is worthless compared to 2 people.. with 2 you can actifly dogfight turn and burn and then if the other guy manages to start even getting near your 6 he gets hosed by the gunner. with just 1 pilot you have to level off then shoot.. useless, as soon as you do the other guy dives under your 6 where you can aim and your dead.

He might of had a gunner i seen alot of guys asking for gunners

Nutt, if it was me (and I think it was, remember fighting ya), I am a constant 1-1.5 seconds behind everyone else due to my ping....normally it's not too bad but at times it can be seen greatly when I shoot or get shot at angles that look impossible from the other person's end. It is normally stable looking but I hover out-of-sync until the game catches up and I warp into place...for a second. But I have noticed the WWI servers seem to give me more trouble lag wise than normal, net status is spiky in both charts whereas MW is flat-lined....not sure why (I am the only one with this trouble?).
If it was someone else, well....glad to know I'm not the only one lagging. :P

Nope you are not the only one i have this also,but i think its the planes doing it to me,i went in WWI arena 4 empty and had better FR'S then any other arena,but i get near a plane and lag starts.
