as the title says we need a new server for the middle east. our ping used to be like 50 or less few years ago like in 2020-2022, now we’re stuck with 250-300 and it’s unplayable it made some of us to quit the game. meanwhile EU players chilling with 30-50 ping, you guys know how many arabs/middle east players there are, there is a whole community of arabs and middle east players in this game who wants a better ping, and please don't suggest using vpn we're not paying to play this game, also some vpns could get our accounts blocked so it's not a safe option, even in esports our ping is 400-500+ most of the time while EU players are getting 50-70 this is not fair for us that's a easy win for them. we’ve been playing this game since the release day, and it’s like we’re still being ignored no server, no proper support, no language for us, this needs to change.

Buddy, I have to break your ‘honesty’ here, ping absolutely makes a big difference, and it’s clear you’re misinformed on how it impacts gameplay. also you're a head admin, I’d expect you to have a better grasp of the mechanics, but your statement shows otherwise. I checked your profile, you’ve barely played the game recently, with like only 6-7 matches in a week. Maybe you stick to weapons or playstyles that don’t highlight the issue, so let me break it down for you. For players in the Middle East, high ping directly affects weapons like Shaft in sniping mode, both modes of Gauss, Smoky, Thunder, and Vulcan—all of which rely heavily on precise bullet travel timing. Mammoth’s overdrive is another victim, as the delay prevents consistent damage application, often letting enemies escape even after being hit directly. On the flip side, Railgun, and Scorpion and shaft normal mode aren’t as affected because they don’t rely on travel delay, so if those are your preferred weapons, I can see why you wouldn’t notice the problem. I’ve thoroughly tested these issues on both test servers and live servers, and the results are undeniable. The difference between 150ms ping and a stable 26-30ms is night and day, and it renders the main servers nearly unplayable for competitive gameplay in our region. While there may be other priorities for the game, that doesn’t make the ping issue less significant. If you’re not a Middle East player and haven’t faced these conditions, I suggest stepping back from further comments and leaving this matter to the devs, who have the data and expertise to address it appropriately, they know what's the best for this game and they should know that the ping matter is serious and it needs to be fixed as soon as possible.

Constant no damage. self destructing for no reason. Bots constantly blocking you. Bots picking up supplies, especially nuclear energy and doing nothing with it, very frustrating. No protections until General rank, pathetic. How are players supposed to play without no protections, especially with the useless MM putting you up against those WITH PROTECTIONS. I've all but quit my main and my 3 accounts at lieutenant General are staying mothballed until the XP to crystal ratio is reversed because I am not going to rank any further and come up against Legends all maxed out when my prots are only at 30/35, not gonna happen. The current state of this game is a farce filled with OP crap, glitches that never get fixed, EVER, useless bots and a team of devs that would rather concentrate on anything other than fix the severe problems that is failing this game. Hazel your a disgrace. Start listening and acting on your player feedback. @TheCongoSpider summed it up perfectly. I want to enjoy the game, but the game won't let me-so very true.

Eh, you lost me at "eSport"...

As an eSport player, do you think that it’s fair for me to play with 150 ping while I play against Russian’s with 26 ping? 150 “might” be ok in MM if you are not that competitive, but consider other people playing Parkour and eSports

Tesla needs a huge rework after the nerf implements. It has been 2 months that we got the last major patch notes. Whenever I ask people about Tesla they say It has been over nerfed! Even people who doesn't like Tesla say that this was way too much of a nerf! History of Tesla, and the main problems: Just a few stats about Tesla from last year. It had 630 damage, 0.66s reload which comes out to a 954 Damage per second, and a 810 critical damage, 15% critical chance Later the reload was nerfed to 0.75s which left the Damage per second of 840. At the end of the year Tesla got a major rework. The damage is 900, reload was 1.1s of a 818 Damage per second, and 900 critical damage, 15% critical chance. A week later the Reload was nerfed again to 1.2s leaving the Damage per second of 750 !!! In my opinion these changes should be implemented for Tesla (only mentioning the things i would change) Reload: from 1.2s to 1.0s Critical damage: from 900 to 1160 Critical damage chance: from 15% to 12% Lightning ball damage: from 1160 to 1400 Lightning ball range: from 100m to 60m (The thing is that this wouldn't make Tesla OP, because connecting to a lightning ball acts like an enemy, splitting the damage) The problems in details: 1. The damage per second is horrible. Compared to other melee range turrets Firebird: 1200 Freeze: 1200 Isida: 1160 (I know these 3 turrets needs to reload, but the amount of damage they can do in a short amount of time makes the reload not significant) 2. The critical chance was never adjusted. When It was 0.66s reload it was 15% and now the reload is almost doubled and the critical chance is still 15%??? It should be around 25% to be similar when it had faster reload. (or offer a higher critical damage) 3. Critical damage is the exact same as the regular damage, which has never occurred in any existing turret other than Tesla! I understand it can damage multiple enemies, but other turrets can damage multiple enemies too and has a much higher critical damage. 4. Connecting to a ball lightning acts like connecting to an enemy, which means if you connect to a ball lightning and an enemy is in the circuit you will only damage him 450 instead of 900. If there is 2 you will damage them 300 each. (The biggest nerf of Tesla in history) 5. Melee range turret special abilities: Firebird: burning (400 dps-thus elevating the dps from 1200 to 1600), Freeze: freezing (nullifying damage boost, slowing down enemies) Isida: healing (receiving points after healing) Tesla: ball lightning (It is supposed to increase the range but it fails doing that because the speed of the ball is so slow enemies can easily back up and not receiving any damage, and the ball lightning also has a damage which again fails to do anything significant because of the speed. If you succeed connecting to a ball lightning and get some enemy in the circuit the damage is split when connecting to a lightning ball, and further splitting if more enemies are in the circuit.)

Because you didn't pose it as an Idea but rather a bug or even a question, sentence framing is very important. For I&S, we don't want you to point out a flaw present in the game, rather we seek for Ideas or suggestions on how to fix the particular issue. For any further concerns, please Forum PM me. Closed.

You are a smart grown-up guy: you are not a Buyer, play Pro Battles, know how to play, see problems, recommend fixes, etc. You even did something I always refused to do which is to prove your point with videos: I always found it useless and this post is confirming it ? Tanki has been constantly looking to attract people opposite to you. Young kids spend their money, play their MM battles, do not learn how to play but use the brute force of their newly purchased equipment. They do not see bugs. These young kids get excited by any new piece of OP equipment that Tanki throws to them. There is no interest to fix issues because the only ones caring about are the very few smart grown-up guys left in this game that do not feed $$$ to the game.

I'll be honest, ping doesn't make a big difference in Tanki like in other games. Would it be nice to get servers for the middle east? Sure, but, I think there are things this game requires that are a higher priority.

The bots thought the match making was so bad, I guess they really DID leave, lmaooo!

"Sooner or later," It's already 2025, yet there is still no Arabic translation added to the game. While I don’t have exact data on the number of Arabic players, I believe it’s more needed than Japanese or Polish. There are many fluent Arabic helpers who might be willing to assist with translations, myself included. Even if we are short on Arabic-speaking helpers willing to contribute, recruiting new ones is always an option.

I get where you're coming from, and you’ve laid out the issue really well. Crisis is already a tough drone to use with high ping because of its reliance on precise timing. The default 0.5-second switching window between supplies is tight. When you add the international cooldown (around 0.1 seconds or 100ms) and then factor in high ping—ranging from 100 to 200ms—that delay stacks up to 700-750ms or more. That’s massive! It’s why I’ve had to stick to Defender up to now, but even that’s becoming less viable. Yesterday’s announcement about the drone nerfs really changes things. If I’m understanding it right (correct me if I’m wrong), the nerf means the extra boost from drones like Trickster, Booster, or Defender will only activate when picking up a drop like armor, speed, or damage. That’s a big shift. This nerf essentially forces some of us to switch back to Crisis since the other drones will lose much of their utility. And if Crisis becomes the go-to, a good ping becomes non-negotiable—otherwise, it’s nearly impossible to use effectively. For players grinding Matchmaking to finish their battle pass or elite pass, this high ping makes the game borderline unplayable. It’s not just about Crisis; high ping ruins gameplay overall. With weapons like Railgun or Shaft, for example, you have to predict and aim ahead of tanks because the delay shows them as stationary when they’re already on the move, at this point the game is more about prediction than just simply playing. It’s frustrating to deal with such situations when you’re trying to play competitively. This is a mess, and it needs to be fixed. Better servers in the Middle East could make a huge difference for us.
