When sounds fixing , after the recent minor patch related to them sound distance is broken again as well as sound mixing ( allies make nore noise than enemies and light tanks are stealth ) it’s annoying playing tanks without being able to plan because you don’t hear stuff properly. Also invisible tanks in the smoke was not the right fix for nvidia filters since now you don’t see tanks you should see cause they disappear near the smoke :)

And please, please, please, can you fix the lock fail when pressing the lock (missile) button? Can’t know how many time I died trying to start my missile seeker!

6

Smoke shells continues broken!!!

7

Ditto, do you have high ping? I never hear from any of my friends who play from low ping about this but myself and all my other aussie mates report the same

8

I have bad network for sure. Something about 80ping I think (on another game, here I can’t check because I’m on console)

Anyway, I have to spam the lock/fire button to get it finnaly working. I loose so much time and die in head on a lot…

9

Yeah here in Australia the best ping is SA and that’s 150 ping at best. EU is 350 and USA is 270. have to spam the lock button for it to spool, it flashes once or twice then just stops. by then you overshot and dead or lost your chance.

edit: we seem to universally have issues with radar not locking too and some missiles refusing to track targets flying even in a straight line eg. red tops

10

This is exactly what happened to me. We need a fix…

been years for me so not holding my breath mate

Because they literally dont care about us Aussies. They couldnt care less if we are forced to play with such a high ping. There have been countless calls for Australian servers again but they wont do it.

13

Australian servers wouldnt help. The SA server use to be closer and gave us an 80 minimum ping yet there wasn never any players on it. Its rare to ever get battles on the SA server. We just dont have the player base here to support it sadly.

14

I’d say the Australian player base is larger now than back when we did have servers. afaik the game is getting more popular lately.

15

Yeah it might be but its probably never going to be vig enough. You need enough players remembering there a 30+ battle ratings, arcade, rb and sim plus choppers, ec, air assult etc. Further diluted by air, ground, naval 24 hours a day. You need a lot of players in a rwgion to support a server and the forst asian server didnt have enough. An australian server which would give pur ping to a majority of the player base will never be joined by them. Its the hard truth of gaming in aus

16

See, I dont think that matters as much. There have been much smaller and much larger games released that can still justify Australian servers. Seems someone didnt like what i said and this got flagged. Laughable.

17

Most games dont devide the player base over so many factors. I only ever heard it was due to the player base/population it moved.

19

I have noticed for the (Soviet) IS-2 No. 321, IS-2 (1944) and Chinese counterparts, you are not able to place decorations on the side of the turret when the screens are not placed. I know you can disable the protection screens if not equipped but it should not apply for the IS-2 No.321 since it does not have this as a modification. Further more to the IS-2 (1944) and Chinese Counterparts if the screens are not applied. Hopefully this can be fixed.

Latest patch causing multiple crashes in one day, unlike before where it would crash once a month.

Still have the Bug. Plane Mode (Arcade planes or Realistic Ground ) When the screen changes from flying the plane to map mode or because I have been killed , the game crash. Without crash report ! Simply game dies instantly ! Only program/game I have any problems . And it is only in the moment of the change . grafic drivers are the newest.
