Packet Loss - Idea's on how to make it less annoying if you crash

Packet loss, we all hate it, and we get crew locked after we crash from it, so my idea is quite simple, add a packet loss tracker somewhere in the game internals, and simply refund repair costs and dont crew lock for PL crashes. It would save players alot of time and SL, it will also just put a band-aid on a bigger problem that Gaijin refuses to look into.

-P.S I have not a clue if my PL tracker idea would work, since I’m not too knowledgeable in the networking section of things.

would be abused to high heaven

How so?

people would just “PL crash” when the get uptiered or if they get a map they don’t like. At least now if you want to exit those matches you get punished.

Thus the “PL tracker”, no clue if it would work, but if it did, if it detects PL above 15-20% then it will actually do stuff

I am saying people would just screw with their connection to drop a bunch of packets and then crash. With this “PL tracker” it would appear as if the connection is poor when in reality they are doing it on purpose.
