the differences of lag induced gameplay

[SeaFalcon]

This post explains soooo much... I see this crap on an almost daily basis with certain groups of people and it's extremely frustrating. Even when you see direct impacts with your weapons nothing happens at all (assuming you can hit them). I've gotten to were I don't even try any more. I just cut my engines and sit there until it's over because it isn't fun to try and fight someone doing this crap.

if your weapons have an impact on the target but they don't register damage, than it is not -jitter-.
It's lag on your side, instead. Not even the server side as it would register the hit, just take some time to actually see the damage is does.
