That's Warbirds. I believe Hitech improved the code.

I noticed the difference when I came over from WB. Lag was less in AH. If you had to break on a con, D8 was your break number. Here the same would be D4.

Gave up a few plane view shots breaking at D8 until I learned the lag here. I think its even better now

That's cool..maybe a marketing slogan..

"Less lag, more kills!"

That might explain why I have higher ping in AH but still better response and much higher fps than in WB. All I have to do now is learn to fly...    :airplane:

I have always been curious to know if there is lag from my bullets that I don't see when I am leading a plane. It seems that my bullets may be hitting but doing little damage if any because my front end doesn't actually see the bullets hitting. Is this something that may be happening? I swear one of my biggest problems with is that I feel like I nail planes with bullets but hardly do any damage when they probably should have died.
