Well, if you have 240ms and the other player has 240ms as well, this gives a total of 0,5 seconds.

If you are attacking and have somebody in front of you it makes less impact because your vectors are more or less towards the same direction.
Doing barel-rolls or scissors next to each other is more comlicated because both opponents are constantly changing their vectors nearly 160° each one, each time. Within 0,5sec total lag, a lot may happen.

Besides I have the feeling that CoD uses a complecated formula something to calculate the position of the objects. It has happened many time that I saw dots in the horizon or far away ship-dots in the sea warping when changing between wide and narrow view.

Let us all be happy that ATAG has such a good bandwidth that such problems are very very limited!
