Im guessing it wouldnt be possible for HiTech to not allow sat users.....    :pray

I wouldn't want him to.

WMTom is in Iraq right now and the only way to fly is using the Sat. they provide there.

The diff. is he has no choice but to use Sat.

Players in the States have a choice but it appears most are just too cheap to drop the 10 bucks to stop warping.

So you are telling me you didn't have a phone line and that dial-up wasn't available?

That is probably the only good reason to be on sat in AH, imho.

There is a certain player that flew on sat and sort of learned how far he was lagging behind. On anyone's FE, they saw his nose pointed away from them and he still got kills.

Actually had a phone line but it was in so much disrepair that everytime it rained,and not much,it was out for 3-5 days at a time..
 Sat was ONLY way for internet.

My SAT must not be that bad, only when multiple people are on my connection is when it is bad.

The problem with satellite is 22300 miles up and 22300 back. 

The speed of electricity is the same on a phone line as it is on a T-1.

How much data does AH2 take anyway?

That would only equate to 240 milliseconds of delay....where is the other 1000 milliseconds coming from?

My TW cable (as i understand it) originates at a very large satellite somewhere in my neighborhood.
my connection seems to be good but whats the difference.

does it not all come from a satellite ?

I've been doing this, WB and AW dialup since '95. Just have to remember not to load big web pages on climbout, often get booted. At any rate, I get steady 200ms, does fine.

Anyone that can do sat can do just dial up as well.  For playability for the rest of the players that would be the better option.
this lag explains why these players are nearly impossible to bomb in a moving GV, specially a tiger since they require a more direct hit.  This gives them a great advantage because they can learn to lead their shot because they know they always lag yet we have no clue they are lagging until it is to late....  Maybe i should try sat instead of my cable connection  LOL

Lag has nothing to do with how you hit something, what you see is what you get. How much you must lead a target has absolutely nothing to do with lag. And is the same for everyone.

The only difference with lag is it will take a little longer before you see them explode. And take them longer to hear a hit.

Lag has nothing to do with warping. Think of lag being exactly the same as watching a film 1 hour later. Intermittent connections is what will cause warps.

In a vehicle, I really can not think of any advantage having a longer lag.
