1.34 Multicrewed Bomber lag exploit

[jester]

Whenever a bomber is multicrewed, it stutters in a way which is totally unpredictable and random. This can easily (and sometimes purposefully) be replicated by: multicrewing a bomber. The plane is almost impossible to hit.

What I found interesting about this, though, was the movement of the plane. Prior to this bug, when multicrewed planes operated normally, on the map you'd see a secnod plane icon following the actual pilots, and that icon was the gunner's or the second crewman's. The way the icon used to move on the map is similar to the way the entire plane is moving now. Perhaps the server is reading the units position through the secondary player, whos position is not updated as often, instead of the primary player, the pilot.

I'm aware this is nothing new but saying "just don't do it" is not enough, this needs to be fixed. It is a known exploit and it's been around far too long.

Need the multicrew bug to be placed on top of the fix it list. It seriously hurts the bomber campaign.

There are clearly a growing number of people exploiting this bug with multicrewed aitcrafts. If there is no fix coming very shortly multicrew should just be removed in the next patch. Just remove the join/request crew buttons until there is a proper fix.

since 1.34 came out the only planes I seen with that major lag was 110's
