This. Sweet Jesus fix your poo poo Wargaming.

This most recent update had another 'locale' update in it. One can hope the shittiness is them *trying* to find a routing fix...but that still doesn't change the fact that they probably 1) have a contract with Telia that it'd cost them a fortune to break or get out of, and/or 2) they don't want to have any lengthy downtime to move their servers to another (probably pricier) data center.

Also, the listed IP address for NA East's login server no longer has any overt indicators that it's a WoT server, it's just dc11-sl-b21.fe.core.pw [162.216.229.21].

Yeah that's what makes no sense to me. When the patch first dropped and everyone started getting packet loss, it got to the point where I told my platoon, "hey I know West is poo poo, but maybe we should go there and deal with the poo poo players and higher ping to escape Telia" but hah Wargaming sure showed me exactly how incompetent they are!

EU goons, are y'all geting markedly more packet loss since 9.17 came out? If this problem is only hurting the NA server then I get why Wargaming doesn't seem to give a poo poo about fixing it but if it's hurting the other servers then I don't understand how this isn't priority #1. The game straight up isn't playable for large segments of time.

hopeless incompetent
SEA server players in Australia have been complaining about lag the past few weeks. I'm in Singapore as is the server so i usually don't have issues (20-30ms ping on my home wifi) but i've experienced a few games with ridiculous lag in the past few weeks. Straight up unplayable with it hits.

I don't seem to have any issues on NA east. The only time i do is due to my sucky connection because jimbo two rooms down wants to xbox 24/7 and torrent poo poo like crazy.

My biggest issue is it's been three days and I haven't had a winning team. A good portion of the time I'm the top damage dealer, and it's just never enough to counter pubbies melting like ice under a sun lamp. It's like WG got whiff of me wanting to improve myself and said "haha, nope"

Sometimes for horrendous stretches of time. I'll let go of W but nope somehow my tank will just carry on rolling forward and drive up some rocks out in the open.

Today's mission is another pile of loving poo poo; get 30 kills. Sounds easy -- and it should be -- but Wargaming's patented Rigged Number Generator™ is out and about and I'm suddenly missing short-range shots for no reason other than "gently caress you, that's why".

I had a miserable night last night. An endless string of sub 30% win chance blowouts broken up only by the occasional win where I was not in the action.

But I'm really looking forward to playing tonight. God help me.

One battle. TK your whole team at spawn, then clean up the other team.

Then drive into a lake.

Over the past few days the game has been unplayable for me due to the lag spikes. I blame it on buying a month of premium. Sorry guys, the servers are going to suck rear end for another 25 days and it's my faul.

With zero artillery, Sand River is tolerable but not usually fun. With artillery, suddenly the middle gorge and the south aren't playable anymore, so it turns into a campfest.

I find myself wondering why Cromwells are so favored in strongholds and you rarely see A-43s. The A-43 seems just about as fast and the gun handling feels a lot better.

For the light one, Serene Coast, south position, is a good map. Run over to the spotting bush in G8 and light stuff in the D7, D8 area while you wait for the heavies to get into position. Hopefully you spot, and your teammates kill, any tanks setting up in the middle. Then check out the map and if everyone is spotted and committed to the east and west flanks, swing back to the west around the lake and go right up the middle.

Ruinberg and Sacred Valley are also good maps for going right up the middle once flanks are established imho.

Ruinberg and Sacred Valley are also good maps for going right up the middle once flanks are established imho.

The light one requires:
1) For there to be 3 arty on the enemy team.
2) That nobody spots them before you do.
3) That you manage to hit and do damage to all three of them before one of your teammates kills one.

The chance of these three things happening together is so low that it's already almost a statistical anomaly regardless of whatever map you're playing on.

HT-12 requires:
1) You to be driving a tank with actual armour and no glaring weak spots.
2) Enemies so loving retarded and cowardly that they just keep shooting your armour over and over again without trying to flank or switching to HE or gold.
3) Teammates so loving incompetent that they leave enemies alive to shoot you.

Again, the chance of these three things happening together is so low that it's virtually impossible.

I was suggesting that the missioneer takes steps to make it happen on specific maps because the odds of it happening by chance are so low.
