No, I'm suggesting that it was a server / program issue. And as for Scott's reply, we must not be talking about the same incident. I looked at the roster during this time and there were about 45 Rooks in flight, I think about 41 Bish in flight. and 23 Knights logged, but only 6 in flight.(including myself)
we had cv parked off of 41 we had 42 but lost it back to bits and about 20 min later the mass boot happened that I was apart of

We investigate every mass boot and in the history of HiTech Creations, there has never been an incident where a mass boot impacted only one country.

There have been mass boots caused by conditions which the server was not ready for. 

During HiTech's investigation he discovered the reconnect AI pilot failed due to a condition involving bombers and gunners.  It was not the cause of the mass boot, but it did cause the reconnect AI pilot to fail for everyone, once the bomber pilot tried to reconnect.

I'm going to start taking screen shots of both the plotter and the national weather map to make sure, but I'm pretty sure the issue that affects my connectivity the most is severe weather.  Plus the garbage equipment FIOS puts in my home.

Just an FYI: at about 4PM PST today there was another 'mass' boot ('mass' meaning several people booted at the same time, but certainly not all; when I got back in there were enemy planes over my field that couldn't have gotten there if they had been booted as well).  When I tried to reconnect, the LW arena, and all arenas on the LW server like AvA, were 100% ping lost in AH plot (but not, I think, in PingPlotter).  Other arenas, like EW and MW were up.  When I did connect after the boot, it didn't put me back in flight.  Some time before being booted I had noticed weird delay behavior: I would select something in the hanger or select a new field and it would take many seconds for it to take affect despite there being no peak in the variance plot.

I think I also experienced the same thing, don`t remember the exact time. Was in flight when the UDP-TCP message appeared. After connection was lost tried to reconnect quickly. Didn`t notice the ping value, but after connecting the online server I was in a tower and all alone. The map was empty and no bases flashing. Also had no message about AI flight crashing etc. Got out of the server and noticed there was "---" instead of a ping number on some servers. Switched off the game, unplugged my modem for a moment, then got back in and everything seemed normal again, but I was in a tower and no message about the AI.

I searched and found a bug with why the AI is not reconnecting, but that has nothing to do with why the dumps are happening.

It has do do with bomber gunners trying to shoot.

It amazes me that some will jump to the conclusion that HTC
is always at fault and without proof such as pingplotter!
It could be HTC BUT it can also be the ISP or any stop along the way!!
Of course as some convict another without proof, why would the
conviction of HTC be any different?

In general getting better or getting worse? I know what I hear. Just fix it.
