But then for every other language? (Plus 2 Chinese dialects) Would be quite complicated but appreciate the idea (used to have that for Thai and Arabic but long ago for other reasons). Though I was being more general against every language (so many are spoken in game).
Fortunately a good portion can be handled via Radio commands (10 years for air alert though!)
So what if you don’t understand them. Doesn’t change how you play the game. They’re still playing the same game with the same rules as you.
The majority of the player base does understand English. But I find it very helpful to have just a few things saved off in notepad just in case. And for the time of day I play Chinese is the best option. Late night for me but early morning for them so it just works.
It’s not racist or xenophobic to suggest wanting to communicate with people who can speak their language. The chat wheel is good but for example when I die I like to tell my team through the chat what killed me and where he was, sure I can ping on map but people don’t pay attention to those.
I don’t see why you’re so quick to jump to racism accusations.
I would assume it is because like 90% of these threads are people saying “i want chinese people locked to one server because they are cheaters”
This is honestly the first of these threads that i have read to even mention something like connection problems.
From my own experience I would say the majority do not. Met many Spanish, French, German, Russian, various Central European (Polish, Croatian, Slovakian etc) that are unable to.
As have I and they spoke and understood English. Sorry your gaming experience isn’t like mine but. We are two different individuals and I don’t expect us to have the same exact gaming experience.
I mean it’s true though, i don’t know about war thunder, but in general it is. Also a lot of them are quite toxic and nationalist.
Not beeing racist, just stating the facts.
most of the time they are talking 5hit about you. At least that’s what i have been told. Quite often things that would get them banned if they were writing in English or any other European language.
So just because you don’t know what they’re saying, you assume it’s about you?
translators don’t exist?
Maybe read again what he said.
Flight characteristics and your aircraft “feeling stiff” have no relation to server connection.
And, was I supposed to see something that I missed. He says when he asked what they’re saying. He’s told they’re talking shit about him. And he’s dumb enough to believe them without looking it up himself.
A car driver may be chinese, but his license plate should be readable. This is the problem.
I’m all for standardized names, or at least translated versions for typing.
Sort of like Discord, except not implemented in a godawful way.
more popcorn please
I mean i appreciate your efforts for the 5% of matches (my experience) when communication is actually helpful, but seriously?
If somebody decides to play on EU servers it is not too much to ask to use English - as (agreed & accepted) most dominant and useful language if you have to communicate across borders within Europe. Even the RF has the majority of their population within Europe and they speak English too.
So the old rule “When in Rome, do what Romans do” is still valid.
If gaijin would care about communication - they would have installed a translation software within the game chat.
These were, ofc, just rhetorical questions .
I kindly ask you to stop quoting or pinging me.
Thx for understanding!
As someone who has worked in network administration, and is a software engineer in a cloud computing company. I can assuredly say that packet loss and or high latencies can result in the game acting funny. Not that those credentials are even needed for that.
As the game engine tries to interpret the world around it with bad data or delayed data, it fills in the blanks where it can. This can result in outright wacky things like flying tanks or just performance of vehicles being sluggish or weird. Brand new fun and exciting ways to lose each time.
another post flagged - editing because the Nazi who keeps reporting.
War thunder is a worldwide game that is not region locked and has a player base from around the world. The fact that you think that someone should speak English simply because they join an EU server is completely naive and bordering on gatekeeping. How many countries are in the EU? How many of them speak English as their native language? It’s a game. People should play it if they want to and it doesn’t matter where they’re from or what their native language is. I gave you a suggestion to help you communicate. If you don’t want to use it, don’t use it. I don’t care. Take it for what it is. A suggestion.
