At first I thought the new update was OK. Now that I've had close to 20 games with it I hate it. The lag is worse than it ever was before. Shoot some one they have time kill you every time. I've seen them have time to do a complete circle and begin a dogfight before they die. If they die that is. Some times 4 to 5 hits on a plane. The lag was hit and miss before. May be one game no lag and another with. Now it's every game. Plane speed is WAY to slow now. Feels like slow motion. Needs to be half way between where it is now and where it was before. Immunity is a good idea but should disappear after they fire a shot. Nothing worse than making a bomb run on some one you can't kill. They are immune and shooting then the lag is so bad you may as well not even waste your bullets. Now I will dry my eyes, rub some dirt on it, and get back in the game. just venting.

I agree with the lag. I dont know how many times already Ive hit someone else multiple times and broke lose only to be shot down by that person that Ive shot 3 or 4 times.

I have the new iOS and it fixed my lag problems talk with apple about it it works better with the new update for me.

You ask, I answer.

The Good:
I really like the update. I felt like the planes were considerably slower, but in comaprison to everyone, I see it as equal. The planes are 10 times more stable. There used to be a lot of shaking, bumping, etc. Now it is smooth and steady. The tracers are smaller and do not obscure my targets. As a result of these two improvements and due to clearer graphics as a whole, I can snipe another plane 1/4 the way across the map. LOVE THAT! My head-on game is much improved.

The Bad:
Plane does seem much slower and downward dives are less responsive. I have actually countered this by inverting and pulling up when I need a quick dive. This has had it's backfires and gotten me shot down on several occasions.

The Ugly:
CRASHES! in the plane, not the app. I have crashed more since I updated (during the last week) than I did in my first week of playing. I seriously believe I crashed into smoke the other day. If I do not kill my opponent outside of 10 plane-lengths in a head-on fight, I know I will crash. The planes are MUCH less stable in take off and landing. Someone said yesterday, "It's like trying to land a unicycle," and thats the perfect description.

and The REALLY Ugly:
I hate the new tanks! I have actually rolled the new tank several times by making a sharp tuen on level ground. These tanks are the Suzuki Samuri of tanks. They roll at the slightest bump. the only time I am saved from the rolling is when I destroy myself with a tank shell... WTH is that? If the turret is pointed too low, you die. If the hangar you are shooting is too close, you die. If another tank you are shooting is too close, you die. So, in the new tank if you move, you turtle and you die and if you shoot, you die. I hate the new tanks.

Until today, the lagging actually seemed improved to me. Today, it has sucked.

Oh yeah, has anyone else noticed the lost connection problem is nearly gone? Good work Z. I like the update.

My opinion,
PH

Yeah I think the update was part good and part bad. I haven't noticed the problems with the tanks. I do like the new and improved shooting. It is much easier to see and get an accurate shot. The stability of the plane is better. I run the throttle less. I used to pinch it back for long shots head on. But for dogfighting the speed is way to slow.

I hover to land way above the deck real slow then zero throttle and let the plane fall down. Haven't had any problems so far in that area.

The lag has been every game though. Shoot, dodge, wait for them to die, dodge some more, wait for them to die, get shot and both die. I'm getting killed twice as much now because of it. Slowly adjusting my in game tactics for it. And now I'm going to my room to cry again. Thanks PH. Lol

I'm up in the air still, leaning more towards disliking the new update. I do love that the plane is way more stable. I hate the lag it is way worse then it was before. I also hate that the bullet holes no longer appear in the windscreen. To tell if you are getting hit by enemy fire the sound has to be turned up to hear the plinking. I give kudos to the programmers and IT folks, this game has come along way since I started playing. I will always keep playing though, no matter how bad the lag is, that is how much I enjoy this game.
