It seems from UK around 130 ping is typical. This in itself has not caused any issue for me. There are a few problems with connection though on occasion. I have no expertise whatsoever in this field but I understand there are fundamental omission from the game in that there is no Net code yet for the server admins to tinker with. The server also has a very high capacity but can only use a fraction of the bandwidth it has because of a Steam or game restriction.
When the server is busy I do see some lag but whatever the cause this is also experienced by my colleagues who live close to Chicago. If all players were in Chicago I imagine it would probably be fine but still have the odd problem when sixty people are on. 
Bliss or someone similarly knowledgeable can explain this with much more clarity but I know he expects some difficulty when the population goes much above fifty.
Don't give up old chap, it's certainly playable and enjoyable from Western Europe. There are a growing band of Antipodean players who are having some fun, although I'm sure they have a few problems. I understand their ping is often around 300?

yest its still playable, but is a bit of an immersion maker, to be forming up a bomber squad, and then suddently everyone jsut jumps 50 meters to another location.
Is also an issue to have fighters jumping a bit around. this are sporadic issues of course.
im not giving up tough, its better than ever now. im pretty sure when more people start showign up an eruropean server will arise, without compromising the 40+ people on ATAG.
