Though perhaps having a high ping, quite often you'll find it means little once online....What I've learned to use as a standard is NOT how high anothers ping is (within reason)...Yet how stable is it, as I've seen some consistantly running 500-700 pings and their play is smooth and in-time.

All this "i'm so social I sit on the forums all day, yet when it comes to my play I become an anti-social recluse" is simply hogwash.

What? You can’t just make up facts and invent figures as you see fit in order to support you ideas and believes!

The fact that the majority of users are offline is just that, a fact!

All internet users go online? I have cable and use the internet, obviously, but I never go online, anymore. I had very high expectations for online play and ordered a 10/10 connection but after a few days on cowboy dogfight severs and a few “wait one hour to be blown up on the runway by overtaking idi@t” I joined a team but the hours never fitted me so….I saved myself some money and degraded my connection speed.

Now I “put put” happily along in solitude (and a few AI´s OC!) enjoying my Il-2 as the majority of the Il-2 buyers do. Fact!
