Hello, i’m pissed of from the game right now cause, as u will see, things are not going well. I’ve never complained about the game (although I would be right to, many times) but this is unforgivable, something really needs to be done to fix this, I’m playing 7.0 to try to find the little bit of fun that remains in the game, and my player experience is totally wiped out by this kind of problem, do something, really.
Check the server replay for the match (found on the main war thunder website) and see what the server saw. This might just be a client-server desync issue.
thx for replying, i will check this now (i don’t know if it’s worth mentioning, but my ping is visible bottom left of the screen, above 34 38).
i can see in the replay that he turned faster his turret than the actual replay i took from my game, but it still totally unfaire and unpredictable, even if i have a good internet, the ennemies will never be at the good position i see them ^^’ , i think u can’t do anything at this point but i have at least an answer …
Having a low ping is good and does reduce the risk of desync issues but they can still happen.
In short: the server takes al input information it gets sent, makes A LOT of calculations and then sends everything back to all the players in that match, during that time your screen can’t be frozen and something has to happen so your client essentially “guesses” what happens next and shows that to you until it gets the correct information from the server and adjusts accordingly. This happens continuously several times a second but sometimes your client gets sent the wrong information and/or guessed wrong and so when the actual correct information gets sent it can look kind of odd on your end. The ping itself is just how short time delay there is from the moment you send information to the moment you receive it :)
This video explains some of it quite well:
This is something every online game ever does, they just have different ways and techniques to make it as smooth and correct as possible.
