It has more to do with the game's netcode and lag compensation than network latency itself. That's why LAN tournaments have different server-side settings than in an online environment, since lag compensation in some cases would actually produce unnecessary latency. For those interested in lag compensation, here's a solid introduction: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lag_%28online_gaming%29#Solutions_and_lag_compensation

Dust 514's netcode seems far from optimal to me (it's acceptable to some degree), but then again, I don't know if there's some architectural barriers hindering the optimization.

Well the model is just a visual representation of the hitbox and hitting the hitbox is what matters i.e. shooting the model doesn't register hits if the hitbox isn't where the model is.

Yes and this is just another benefit of the aim assist; shooting where it matters compared to shooting where the player thinks it matters. Fixing the hit detection, as in matching the model to the hitbox (as well as it is possible in a network situation), is going to even out the gap between aim assist and non-assisted aim.

Remember, Tranquility was first and foremost EVE's server and that game operates with things such as time dilation for massive battles. Now we have EVE and Dust on the same server... I have a large respect for Tranquility and the things it does.

The question is, how comparable their netcode and lag compensation are, since they're connected in some ways. Unless there are massive, massive battles going on in EVE, there should be no noticeable side effects when playing Dust on Tranquility.

If you want to downgrade to 12v12 or something I'm sure we can pull this off. Models are rendered client side, rendering them server side would put an unneeded pressure on the server. The best we can do is get the hotboxes to resemble the models as well as possible.
