This now the standard of the game, perpetual sweat, abusing all the OP vehicles and Gaijin turning a blind eye since it makes them money.

I kinda think you’re just trying to convince yourself.
I’ll ask you this - if you could swap to having 20ms ping like me, would you? If so, case closed.
It’s not racist to acknowledge that most cheaters in online games come from China. It is a fact.

They removed that? Now there’s only NA, CIS, and EU. At least for me.
Anyone who thinks War Thunder uses multiple mb/sec of bandwidth is out of their gourd. I used to play this off a 1.5Mbit ADSL line without any issues whatsoever. What matters is latency, and the difference between ADSL and fibre is usually within 5ms of eachother.
So what you say makes zero sense.

** During gameplay… but damn, when those major updates (to download) come along… :)
Yeah it’s a strange one. I used to be able to select SA and NA as my servers (as they are my two closest servers and EU and RU/CIS were too far away in ping), but now I can only select SA or NA… just one, not both. Which is annoying. And then I see many posts saying SA isn’t available anymore in peoples server selection.
Must have added a “ping lock” feature to stop cross server travel and slowing everyone else down too, finally gaijin did something right.
But I can still see all 4 server areas, so how does “ping lock” factor in to SA disappearing from many peoples selection?
Idk, server shutdown IG?
I was actually saying that it was a comparison, of a low speed user saying thier internet is adequate because it does them fine…
It wasn’t to say that the throughtput was to do with the ping, it was the actual knowledge that once you get something better, you then notice what you were actually putting up with.
Top tier is a mess, but if you’re doing the event, you can just not play top tier. Ranks 6, 7, and 8 all have the same multiplier so you don’t need to play top tier. Go spade other stuff. Go play other nations. Do other things.

That means nothing.
That’s when you let it download while you go out and touch grass ;)
I’m on near-gbit fiber these days (also because I’m back in Europe now); back in the day I lived in SE Asia - and I could play ground forces on the EU server without too many issues. Planes not so much, that often went in interesting directions :D
Got no grass here … what are the alternatives?
Touch snow! :D

The problem is not just the reaction time, but how when your ping goes up, your tank gets turned sideways to the enemy & becomes uncontrollable, while your plane magnetizes into the ground while being uncontrollable.
Random control inputs are certainly annoying. I learned not to fly too close to the ground if ping times went up, but it would be very nice if Gaijin could perhaps not assume I want to fly into the ground in such situations. I posted a thread on latency in air arcade… specifically the effect on aiming.
Random jitters of me or my opponent are sort of manageable, imo, but not shooting where you think you are shooting makes this at times unplayable.
Being a Japan main i don’t get flares until I’m at br 11.0 for whatever reason, so flying low and fast is a must for me.
Which doesn’t go well considering i have a awful wifi + Gayjin’s awful servers
