Title: Strange Net Lag Fight.
Post by: eskimo on May 29, 2000, 03:01:00 PM

I was in a N1K the other night and shot the entire right wing off of a spit.  He managed to pull out of a dive, climb, turn and fly almost as if not damaged.  I got on his six to shoot him up again.  As I closed to about D-150, He started firing, forward, and I took hits (while he was in my gunsight).  We were the only two aircraft in the area.  I asked him about it, he didn't answer all of my questions, but he said:
 
I was in front of him when he fired.
He was from Japan and had a ping rate of 240 to 300.
He also said that he had a red beacon.

He shot my wing off without ever getting on my six, from my point of view.  (I got the kill though)
This was about the wierdest thing that I have seen in a long time.  Can anyone shed any light on what might have happened?  Could net lag be so severe that we both viewed each other at our 12:00?
(my ping rate is about 80)

Thanks;
eskimo

I'd say from that close (d 150), that it's a possibility.  Were closing fast on him?
