Anton, there are some SERIOUS multiplayer issues...

Cross ocean lag is a fickle beast. Example, I was playing earlier with the robotic pope, and kept getting dumped. Total game meltdown, party would end, trying to leave session and then eventual consol restart. (sorry bout that pope). I was the host.

I was also playing with Yossarian and his mate today, no problems what so ever. (unless some-one would leave the game, then very short lag then back to normal.)
I think it has more to do if the connections like each other, some people I just cant connect with... House MD for one.

Come to think of it, one player in our party couldn't join a room I was hosting for some reason. Got in the first time and promptly dropped at launch, then couldn't get in at all. Switched hosts and it was fine. I know my NAT is open, and pretty sure he said his was as well. No comm issues.
Sometimes the route for connecting just screws things up IMO.

Aye no lag at all on a transatlanic game, and loads of fun.

I've just played a few games of Strike with 10 mixed UK & US players with no lag. If anybody have not tried this mode yet I can recommend it. Half the team go bombers, the other half fighters, it was really good fun. The leaderboards say only 18 people have ever played it, and it is more fun than dogfighting even because you get dogfights and bombing and bomber intercepts all in one game, there was a good mix of aircraft aswell, stuka's, Il2M's, all the fighters and level bombers, seriously try it.

Well its not lag like you sometimes see jumping around, Everything looks fine and when I fire I see the hits but the plane is undamaged. I don't know what it is ment to be like in multi player on realistic and pro but someone said a few cannon shots is enough??? lol not for me, I follow close behind someone who is moving around alot and watch the rounds hit for minutes and nothing. Only if they are in level flight can I do any damage. I'm pretty sure its not just me having shit aim because I had no problem on sim in the demo (not started the campaign yet)

Oh well, at least I can hit ground targets in strike.
