If you use wifi at all, that’ll conflate your issue.
With the mentionings I made earlier about routes, this could also match your roughly every third match scenario.
I too experience this issue. Ethernet connection, great internet. Even if im the only one using it i experience it at random and lasts a long time (30+ seconds). My tank will rubber band while trying to move or do anything while the rest of the server will keep moving until a certain point then tanks start flying, flipping, clipping through trees, randomly launching into the air the teleporting back to the original position. Seemingly the rest of the game continues on but I check the teams and we lose 3-4 players across both teams. I asked in chat and only a few people are experiencing the same thing if any. Super annoying. Happens in Air RB as well. Have crashed multiple times because my plane just gets dragged to the ground while turning when the rubber banding and lag starts. No FPS issues, no network issues. Must be a bug. Have tried on NA and EU. Same shit.

Hardwired on NA servers, mostly ground AB, randomly I’ll get 15-50% packet loss and a ping spike. Completely random though, I’ll go for many matches in a row without issue but then 1 or 2 matches in a row I’ll get these massive PLs and ping spikes. After a match or so of the spikes things go back to normal. But these make the game unplayable at that point. Absolutely 0 control of my vehicle, rubber banding, uncontrolled acceleration, running into walls, planes literally dropping from the sky (after working to get a good bomber streak), I usually end up getting killed during these spikes. Any official word or patches incoming?

I’ve been getting it BAD in air rb, Ethernet connection, 800mbps fiber internet.
When I test it the internet is fine with 5 ping, in game it’s around 150
It’s unfortunate, but this sort of site can give you the wrong interpretation @stangbro01 . Whilst you will get a low ping to that server, that server is based off your location, and is the nearest, often even being provided by your ISP.
Why are you so defensive to everyone? There’s multiples people reporting this issue and you’re only providing excuses.
I reported the issue to let the dev know and that’s it.

If dozens of players across Canada and the USA are all having the same issue, there will be a 5-ish-minute packet loss spike for 30+ seconds, then back to normal.
With NOTHING else sharing these symptoms for ANYONE.
The coincidence of “routing” doesn’t play out. Even if it is routing, multiple other programs/games/etc which would use the same routing in some cases would have the same issue.
Gaijin needs to start investigating why this has been happening since the last update.

I’m not providing excuses, I’m urging people to actually check and diagnose.
The people who are defensive have been that getting all antsy about the fact of someone handing out knowledge when all they want to do is offload the situation on Gaijin.
That just says that no-one has noticed it… Doesn’t mean it’s not being affected in any other manner, it’s just this game is server based, so the effects of it, are more pronounced as such.
See above.
Indeed, but as Stona mentioned, nothing had been really reported at that stage.
All I’ve been doing is making the point, that’s commonly dismissed in the subsequent mentionings, about routing. It’s a very intricate thing about the internet, that every user should understand, as it is that basic, and it does affect things a lot.
As a player, everyone definitely should not understand routing because it’s definitely not provided in any installation tutorials. I’m not a network engineer, I work in healthcare. There is no way from purchasing my computer and my internet to sitting down to play the game that I would ever learn about “tracert” and “routing”. It’s also strange that during each game, when the packet loss occurs, it’s not just me experiencing it, it’s everyone else in that match at the same time. That just screams that it’s on the server side to me.
Why is your profile private btw? I don’t come here often but I did to come see if there were any reports on the packet loss. I’ve heard of you in game and there seems to be a general consensus that users are no fan of you. I’m seeing it quite a bit here as well.

TY. I switched to EU and so far no problems.
Trust me its that bad. you would notice it! If any other game was the same it’d be just as unplayable.
This just sounds like an excuse to not find the actual problem…

You’re not just a player here because now you’re on the forums, so you graduate to a stage of internet user.
They’re common things when looking for answers, again, on the internet…
As I’ve mentioned, multiple times in this thread, routing… It’s how the internet works.
Nothing to do with this.
And you’ve found one… Indeed.
Nice to know the salt genuinely flows…
I’m getting that fixed, because yes, it is tiresome passing out information and being shot down by people who don’t want to fix thier issue on the regular.
I would, and I don’t… That’s the problem.
If they used this method, then yes, but not many even do…
Nope, it’s more the excuse is from those who won’t take on board the information and even come back with a question.
The classic “I don’t have this issue so it doesn’t exist”
Cheers m8 have a good one

so you’re saying everyone in one match goes through the same routing?

Many can, and do, because at one point the nodes all come together and you go through the same one…
It all depends on where it’s starting.
It’s alright, you don’t understand, but that’s just on you.
so why not make a thread telling us how to find what route is failing and how to fix it since it’s not a gaijin server issue?

I linked a thread earlier.
I have no desire to make a thread, and the fact that you make note of those in game talking trash about me and bring it in here, is laughable at best… Living rent free in thier heads, likely because I asked them if they were using wifi when they said they were having connection issues.
It was over a completely different topic that I saw them talking about you on but alright.
