I keep disconnecting and my bullets don't do anything.

I have strong WiFi and an able device, so I don't think the problem is on my end.

Aughh!! This game! It's a terrible oxymoron.

1 - Disconnection is server's fault. Period. Everybody is facing this issue, nothing can be done by ourselves.

2 - When your bullets seems not effective against some reds, that's caused by your target's lag. As an example, I have a really bad 3G connection in this new town I chosen to live, and have seen lots of complainings; some moderators already quicked me from some games because of my end's lag.
There is something that can be done to minimize this issue: when you are sure you hit your target twice (or three times on his/her wings), let him/her aside and go for your next target - the laggy target will be down by your bullets some seconds after you hit him/her.

And please, understand that, although lagging is an annoyance, one should not be simply BANNED by the mods just because he/she is lagging. It isn't fair, as laggin isn't player's fault.
Surely, when I see that I am messing with the game at a point that other players are being really annoyed, sometimes I quit, to give them peace - but I don't do it as often, because I have the right to play this game too.

The only efective - and fair - workaround would be the implementation of some kind of "automatic filter", running full time on the servers, preventing people with bad connections to even log in. But while this tool isn't implemented, all of us laggy players have the right to play.

That's my humble opinion, of course, because as I already said, some mods are not too acquiescent, and quick me every time they see my plane lagging.

Just finnished a bomb the hanger map. There was a player named Kot who was in a tank and could not be killed. Everyone on my team was shooting him and dropping bombs on him. Although the bombs and bullets hit him and he looked like he exploded he did not die. I know it's not the players doing (I hope). It wasn't untill the 6th bomb hit him did he really die and respawn. This is the first time I ever saw this in game having taken so many bullets and direct bomb hits and still live. Someone might want to look in to this if this a new issue.

Wow... And I was concerned about my 3 seconds lag... this is insane!
This is going to be a real serious issue...

Since the recent android game releases, I've been putting in my 3 bullets and then moving on to next targets. Typically, the target will explode a couple seconds later. No need to stick around or I'll get shot by someone else. If the target doesn't register my hits, it doesn't matter anyway.

Okay here comes my rambling two cents. Having played this game since we were throwing rocks at each other from pterodactyls. We have three factors. Our ever changing devices. Z's incredible program ....and the internet. We all love the game. Z is passionate about it. If you read his story about it I think he dreamt about it a looong time before technology could possibly do it. Even I with my long winded rambles don't want to touch the complexities of the internet and it's ever changing state. Lag is what us regular people call it because it's easy to type. Tech guys know that really it's just a catch all for all the glitches the internet has. There are many reasons for imperfect communication between God only knows how many computers on it. Maybe we should find the internet King and dethrone him. How dare the internet lag our precious game. Did I say game?
Thats what we are playing on the dirty back roads and gleeming superhighway of the internet. Laugh when you get there first, curse when you don't. Pedrinho, How dare you always coming late to our party.
By the way somewhere in there was my praise and admiration to Z for keeping this wonderful game running. I just didn't want to be seen as a brown nose.

Kevy, although my poor English didn't allow me to understand exactly the tone of your text, I need to say that I was not complaining against mods kicking me when I am lagging; I just registered the fact, with no blaming. After all, I do it by myself sometimes, when I see that I am spoiling the party...

I'm sorry Pedhinho! my post was a joke about you lagging. Epic fail for me once again I have never kicked you for lagging . The only time I might kick a lagger is the indestructible tank one because he can ruin a good game by shooting all hangers.

No need to sorry, Kevy! I am the one that needs to be sorry about my bad English...
