A quick point about connection issues - Connection is king in this game. (I have experience of this)
I was good at BoP (last year) on a 8mb connection then I moved house. Had a much poorer internet connection at the new place (3mb download)
All of a sudden I found I couldn't hit anything unless I was right on top of them (even then my bullets seemed to miss when I thought they should be hitting).
2 months ago I got fibre optic - 30mb D/L - 10 mb U/L and surprise surprise, I can now 'explode' people much easier.
I had suspicions that it was lag that made me unable to shoot straight, now I'm sure it is.

Interesting observation winny.
I haven't played for a while on the PS3 since the PSN went down, I started flying more on the PC. I seem to have that connection speed problem as well, rarely get my kills counted or can hit anything. What's even more unsatisfying is that people can hit me from positions (as I see them) where they have absolutely no deflection on me, their tracers going way past and behind me in high G turns, and boom, I'm dead.
This problem existed as well on the PS3, but not that much. I believe however that the shooter would have seen me with deflection, and seen his tracers hitting me. I think this also comes down to connection speed, and how the game handles lag. When you are being attacked, you can't see the 'real' position of the attacking aircraft, but only an estimation where the program would think the enemy is.
Connection speed is king.
