You meant to say bad Wi-Fi makes the game unplayable. What do you want Gaijin to do to fix it??
sure
okay? your routing to the wifi speed check servers have nothing to do with your routing to the gaijin servers
No VPN, and you have auto select on in war thunder for servers correct?
Are you using wifi or ethernet? Because even with high speed wifi random drops can happen. This kind of speedtest shows average download speed over a few seconds but your packet loss only needs to spike every 20 to 30mins or so to make life hell
edit: and how consistently does packet loss spike?
Ethernet, no vpn, no wifi, nothing and still had problems, im switching between na/eu, na servers are the problem, in eu i had high ping but i can play “decent”

I’ve been having issues with PL while playing Sim EC and ARB for the past couple of days, it makes these modes unplayable. So you are not alone.

I’ve been having sporadic packet loss issues as well. I normally see other players commenting in game about it so I’d like to think it’s not my end. They had mostly subsided for awhile but these last couple days top tier ARB has been nearly unplayable due to it. I’m sitting at nearly %3-%5 consistently with spikes to %60. I’m curious as to what’s causing it
Can you share more details?
Server, time(GMT)?
Same issue here, it’s been like this for about a month or slightly less. I don’t know what is causing it, I just know that its not my internet, it’s not anything on my end because I have been playing exactly as I am right now for years and I’m highly skeptical it would be on my end since I see many people also complain about it. I haven’t tried playing on EU servers, only NA since they’re the closest to me, I live in South America. Even then, I never had problems with NA servers before. They were my preference as it offered more stability ping-wise.
I will have to admit that I was grinding for the Scimitar Mk.2, and since this issue persisted for the entire month it made the process awfully painful. Worst part is it just happens without warning at all, and generally in the worst moments of the fight. I hope there’s something Gaijin can do about it…

NA, around 8:00 PM central time, yesterday, August 5th. There’s no real rhyme or reason to it. I’ll go from being okay to seeing my radar nearly resetting, my maw will freak out or just not work. When it becomes constant then the stereotypical control issues will arise
Same here, I am located in SA where we usually see 170 ping as the norm. This packet loss and high ping issue started a couple of weeks ago, making the game effectively impossible to play. Funnily enough, it was fine yesterday as of writing this, but I started to experience high ping 350+ to 500+ (even saw up to 999) ping and 5 to 10% packet loss today again.

Same issue here, I’m in Australia connecting to the SA server and on Thursday my ping and connection were fine. All day today its been 200-500 pings with high packet loss. Unplayable.
Other games are fine. A few other people in the servers have been complaining
as well.
For the record, I say SA as South America (😅), but yeah the issue is the same here while connected to NA servers. I get the same amount of ping and PL as in your picture.

South America And North America are on the other side of the planet ya know
I’m from South America too.
it’s impossible to play with constant packet loss. It’s been like this for the past two or three weeks.
