Oceania Server

[DoctorK 439]

Lately I have had a lot of ping, I can barely play-my tank has a mind of its own. Being based in New Zealand, I am thousands of kilometers from any server. I'm not alone, there are many with the same issue based in the area of Oceania. I think there should be a server based in the countries of Australia or The Philippines; somewhere like that. It's such a struggle to play in this area with this ping, not to mention the time difference. My timezone is UTC+12 so it is already difficult to play with friends.

i think some phisical servers in different continents would be really expensive. maybe try to close all your internet-consuming apps? my brother was playng properly even from the falklands, whit an hotel internet connection.

frame per seconds (fps) are based on the hardware you have on your computer. usually you want to have them above 15 for mediocre playability and above 30 for the best experience. lag is caused by ping, that is the time that your computer take to communicate whit tanki server. usually, to have the best game experience, ping needs to be under 100 milliseconds, but you can still manage to play whit ping around 200. after that, the game becomes laggy and not funny anymore. every internet-using application cause your ping to go up. skype, browsers, downloads, torrents, streamings and other internet using devices like cellphones or tablets should be closed to avoid having high ping. as i said before, my brother was basically the only one using internet in that hotel, and the hotel itself was having a good internet connection.

try to kill all the internet consuming apps, restart your modem and look at your ping. if you are still lagging, contact your internet provider.
