Well close to it, instead of kicking him for bad lag, youre able to see that he is from the other side of the ocean or something like that and then you could ask him, or tell him that he should change the server that is more closer to his country instead of presupposing that he is downloading or simular stuff. That would not only be an advantage for the server but also for him.

Well, id say we "need" equality here, either plates for every OW vehicle or none at all Or maybe another button behind the plate in the options/player menu. draw/ no draw f.E. :P

but maybe you give us a +1 if theres a option to turn it off ok ? I dont care as well where people are from but there are some cases where it could be also important instead of beeing just another information feature.
To figure out why someone is laggy, also if he is not able to speak the mother language or english (in my case for example) you could try to communicate with him way quicker without checking LFSW first.

Just a thought...
