Me too, I assume that its a problem of the netcode which needs to be looked at. Same thing is the sometimes missing engine sounds of other players planes. Never had this issue offline, but online it is a pretty common thing unfortuneately
Apart from that I really really hope that the upcoming official patch will not be a final patch for CloD. When you look only at the bugtracker buglist (even if you dont take the features category of the bugtracker into consideration) there are literally tons of things which needs to be corrected!
I understand that time is precious, but these bugs have to be removed at some point.... the sooner the better... and of course better for the sales figures of the sequel
