ATAG Dedicated Server is up!

What is an acceptable ping? Being in Australia I can't really get faster than 200 ms. I haven't heard any complaints from people I'm flying in formation with at ~250 ms so I assume I'm not lagging out at this delay. REPKA is always +400 for me so I avoid them.

Since posting that question I have seen this warping effect many times and players have seen me warp too. For me, this is now some sort of 'lag' issue where the game slows down in certain conditions (possibly due to differences or change of ping) then does a quick refresh as if trying to resolve the correct point in time.

As for Mk.MrX, his gunnery skills are outstanding and a master of the deflection shot...give him the briefest guns solution and he has you - pretty sure he doesn't use tracers so you have no idea when he is firing either!

400 ping should be max! In DCS/FC2 servman kicks you automaticly if you are higher then 400ms....

Bliss has asked them to add a few options like that.

Is there a Steam issue with ping rates?

Last night was packed on ATAG and the Ping rates went sky high, a lot of players thought the server had crashed and left, a few minutes later pings went back to normal for those still left in game?

I find anything over 280ms unacceptable in a close dogfight. You'll notice your opponent twitching about in a dogfight and suddenly going the other way. Bouncing a sleeping plane is ok for over 300ms. Unfortunately for us Australians there aren't enough servers, if only ATAG was even closer to us.....

Yep Mr X is a great pilot indeed and no matter how high I climb he always seems to be higher. I'm not the best but I do think I've got great deflection skills and the shot I got hit with was impossible from my point of view. I don't stand a chance against a player like that in a dogfight if I have lag issues.

Salmo runs a good Australian server, just never anybody on it unfortunately.

They really need to come up with a ammo belt lock, in my E4 cannons I have a historically correct load out but in my E1 I have a setup that cause reds to catch fire quite quickly (see the screenshot thread).

The same goes for the reds I haven't changed the ammo for any a/c and I don't get any blues on fire, need to have a look at what others are using.
