Is Japan considered South East Asia ?
(internationally I mean)
Geographically speaking no, but I am not sure where the servers are located, in the game we have the option to connect to the SA server, I presume SA means South Asia. Someone mentioned that gajiin has a server in Japan which is not far away from South Asian countries.
It should be noted that NZ has a direct fibre connection to NA, if you are connecting to Japan you have to go through Aus, which slows the connection.

Thanks for clarifying, now we know where the servers are and which options to choose from.
It goes both ways. You win every time there are CQC corner push battle (more and more matches are 10 IQ COD maps now). But we can win when lot of movement and steering at range, or when peeking hills/sniping (my preferred play style). BUt over 250 ping, that gets hard to hit a moving target.
I spent last year in EU/USA, so can talk pretty confidently about the difference between NZ/AU and EU/USA play experience. There I get 20-50 ping and it’s a massive skill upgrade/clean play/shot taking/etc, much more balanced.
But normally am in Oceania (where thread is about). Ping is to USA few years ago was 150-180 at early hours of morning when no one is using the main internet cable, goes up to 190-220. These days is mostly 200-270 and getting worse and more packet loss to Gaijin servers maybe because I see people mention west/east coast USA server, that explains my ping changing I guess, I’m mostly east coast now, which is so slow for anyone on this side of world. Please more west coast… it would at least help.
EU servers for me are nearly unplayable at 300+, I don’t play SA for a while but will try again…
And now imagine we have this 230 - 280 ping asians on EU servers. And this lagers are mixed with EU players with ping 30 - 50. It is just gaijins incompetence or lazyness, I do not know, or maybe just greed. But they do not play the game, they do not care, what they care for is our money, and only our money.

Mate I have been playing WT for 12 years at a ping of 220 to 270 on the NA server. This is actually quite normal for at lot of online games for us. Had the same pings with all of the World of crud games too. If I play on the SA servers my ping lowers to around 130 to 160 and to be honest I don’t do as good since I am so used to higher pings.
Packet loss is the most annoying thing and that is what I would like to be fixed first and foremost.

If you even slightly use wifi, that’ll be causing some of it.
From there, if you’ve got fibre vs dsl. Shared connections also are problematic. Used to get dropped out if someone sent an email with a really large attachment.
A lot of players in Australia are staying away from the game due to high pings. I thought Gaijin had a South Asia server , but I can’t see it anymore
I wouldn’t even know how to connect to the Japanese server. I have been experiencing a lot of Packet Loss issues lately. It’s ruining the game for me. I may have to stop playing it
I am not spending any more money on this game. It’s hardly worth it if you can’t have a good playing experience (Packet Loss)
I feel sorry for you, but what i am talking about is why is Gaijin ruining the game to everybody? High ping players on EU servers are a nonsense, not when mixed with low ping players. It is the worst experience for all for low and also high ping players. Gaijin if they are so lazy or greedy to buy a server for Asia somewhere in Australia or Singapore, they should split this players, I do not care if Asians are playing on EU servers, if I am not in the same game with them. They can have their 200+ ping and 10% packet loss game, but put them together into one match. And players with ping less then 140 should have their own match.

No it is not, I also do not spend my own money on this game, it is expensive in what you get in return. i also do not like game design, in my opinion the director of game design should have been fired 8 years ago. Also the focus on money is very visible, gaijin does not care about the community, they only like to look like they care.
Honestly that statement is false unless you have done a survey of all Australian players to back it up.
The South Asia server is still there. You have to select auto-select in the server selection menu to access it
I agree completely!
