valid Feature Request: IPv6 Support – Lower Latency & Better Connectivity for Players

[SLM 18]

Hello Tanki Online Team,

I've been playing Tanki Online for years and I'm writing to formally request IPv6 support for the game.

In my country, IPv6 adoption has reached around 70% of connections. When I connect over IPv6, I consistently get ~30ms lower latency compared to IPv4 — which makes a real difference in gameplay. On top of that, IPv6 connections here are direct with no CGNAT or NAT involved, meaning cleaner, more stable connections with no port translation overhead or double-NAT issues.

Forcing players like me onto IPv4 means we're either going through CGNAT (on mobile/ISP networks) or using workarounds that add unnecessary latency. Native IPv6 support would let us connect directly to game servers the way the protocol was designed — faster and without middlemen.

I hope this gets considered for a future update. Happy to provide more technical details if needed.

Thank you
