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…
