not quite the same, but similar, becuase of network latency were your tank is located, and were the tank appears to be on your enemies screen can be drastically different. For example, if both you and your enemy are 500 milliseconds away from the server, when you send your tanks current location, it gets to the server 500 milliseconds later, the server then sends it to your enemy, and it gets to him 500 milliseconds after that, so discounting all processing time, it would take 1 full second for your tank location to get to his screen, one second is enough for your tank to be long long gone so were he is shooting, is not were your tank is. making it very hard to hit you.

i totally agree fully with implementing more anti hack devices in the code. my only worry is i hope this doesnt make it harder to stay connected when one lags. im in japan, and sometimes things will slow down or speed up spontaneously, totally out of my control. if i get booted everytime this happens, i can kiss my boloing days good bye
