Why does it still take between 3-5 minutes to get into a (Realistic) Naval game and 2-3 minutes between games? I don’t have that problem with Ground or Air Battles (Realistic)!
Not enough players if i had to guess
sadly it’s entirely down to a lack of players.
you can speed up the queuing by enabling ‘join in progress’ and selecting more servers, but even then you’re in for a little wait most of the time
ping isn’t all that relevant in naval so playing on higher latency servers shouldn’t be a deal breaker, I’m no fan of join in progress but thats something you gotta find out for yourself
should also add that some the servers (IIRC NA) get a little ‘bot heavy’ around 3.7, but your mileage may vary depending on what time of day you play
personally only use EU servers and i just play a game of chess on my phone while the game queues
I recommend arcade, generally easier to find games in my experience
It got much more popular after the auto aim update. That said, 7.0+ still suffer from long queues and lack of frequent uptiers (no one wants to be clubbed in a no AA dreadnought or some interwar ships by ultimate ww2 battleships I guess.
Ping generally isn’t a factor any mode in the game, as long it is under 300ms. I frequently play with 250ms with no issues.
