Not just high-ping players. Us seniors who have the reaction time of Joe Biden on a bad day need to pay attention to their aiming poking and optimum tanks.
Right on, brother! Getting old, man. The reaction time, vision... what was I saying?
Yeah... I simply don't have the reaction time I used to have. Plus, my ping isn't always the best.
I think of my ping only when you remind me it's there.
Our Claus, grumpy? Impossible.
At last a reason to be terrible, poor ping will be my favourite excuse from now on
Fantastic analysis Claus. All aspects count, ping, your computer, all of it. When you see 999 ping, you cant turn, stop or shoot and 2 seconds later, your tank explodes--someone had a better connection. Great talk, even about light bulbs keep it up.
Much of how good someone performs in a video game is down to hardware and ping
Fn truth
Many years ago when I started playing WOT I quickly learned about the limitations that poor ms does and concluded sniping was the best chance of getting some damage. I guess that is why I was never a good brawler.Reaching 400 to 600 ping in the middle of a brawl watching helplessly as your tank jumps about and you can't control it is very frustrating. Those who criticise other players for their mediocre performance should take that into account.
But they don't, most have a fast ping to match their fast mouths.
Wow Claus acknowledged me correcting him about vice versa lol
Next lesson is: the word ANYWAY never has an S at the end!
Irregardless! 😂🤣
@@tweeotch I say "irregardlessly" just to annoy certain family members of mine lol.
The one I hate absolutely the most is NUKULAR. Drives me bonkers
Tony Orlando and Billy Joel in the same video. We should be so lucky!😂
When I first started playing WOT my ping was 200-400, with occasional drops to 600. I played mostly SPG and Heavy tanks. As my Internet speeds improved, I was able to play some tanks that had mobility, but it was difficult. I finally got fiber internet, and discovered another problem...frame rate. Now that my Internet could keep up, my computer could not render everything fast enough. Average frame rate now is 25-30 fps, but if there are a lot of tanks in my view, then frame rate can drop to under 10. I'm playing on low video settings, but it is frustrating to get into a one-on-one, trying to maneuver and shoot, and suddenly everything gets very choppy, and then I'm dead.
Ah, Tony Orlando. It just Dawned on me that that was the reference.
Nice video Claus, that explain the problem of south america players or any other region where you are far from server.
I used to play wot in his early years up to around 2017 and had to deal with 180-230 ping on average. It was a struggle and had to adapt to more passive strategy since i couldnt do fast stuff.
I even used to have that server reticle mod to have some idea where the real aiming circle was. I managed to make my stug iii and pz4h derp work to some degree. My proudest moments where when i used to win against full T67 seaclubbing platoons alone i had many memorable battles. I was the true jager.
Claus….gotta stop using an electric fan to comb your hair!!
This discussion made me think
The first game was a mop up from the beginning. We have unbelievable internet speed given our rural area. Great second game. Thanks!
Mick Jagger playing the Comet again lol
Nice to see you having a good day Claus! Thanks for the tip on the space-key-into-zoom!
I live too far out of town for cable internet, so I have to tether my computer to my phone. On a great day, my ping is ~100, so I can't really do the peek-a-boom thing.
depends on a country but some mobile providers can rent you a box that has high speed internet over air.
5G or Wimax not sure some require direct visability with anthena. You may have options where you live.
"Ugh, he's talkin' about ping now." Hahaha! You kill me. My ping is usually between 60 and 90. Crap system, but that's one of the reasons I play WoT. I turn all the settings down. It's one of the few games I can still play. I've never thought about how my ping may affect what tank or play style I'm using. Probably doesn't matter much to a player of my low caliber, but still interesting.
19:04 i once survived a blast like that from tier 6 OI on my matilda BP. it hit on the side of front hull. I had to replay that repeatedly, it was amazing to hear that blast hit the metal, it gave me a massive line on the hull. It kinda ripped a part of my tank.
I love the Matilda BP!
Great video. Loved it!
Claus, both were great games to watch. You're right about ping. That's is the cause of some horrible game results. 😮
You forgot to mention the fact that those popular youtubers have 8 skills per crew member.
thanks, i never noticed it , i will look into it, thanks for the heads -up
~100 on Asia server from AU, until a large group of tanks appear on the screen at the same time, then it stops completely for half a second or so. Old desktop PC doesn't help, although a new video card with more ram seemed to smooth things out a bit. I used to play on NA from AU, 2-300 ms, didnt work, made it impossible, but as you say, you play slower/sniper tanks and compensate.
My Ping is constantly above 220, it dictates what I play all the time, it dictates my preferred server as my closest server is Asia, but it has minimal active players available and I don't like bots as opponents, so NA it is, on a good day I may get 205, on a bad day 230 - 250, mind you I do live in outback Australia so my expectations are managed accordingly, arty is an option but the high ping makes things difficult at times, Triangle or sniping are an option, I do have the server reticule option enabled in settings to help and ping will cause missed shot opportunities at times but I live with it, on a side not I have noticed the camera zoom thing you mention, I will try your fix in the future and see how it goes, keep me entertained Claus, thumbs up from me mate.
Claus! I hope you are having an absolutely fantastic day!
Hey Claus - There's no question that, as you explained, a player's ping value can have a larger or smaller impact depending on the type of tank and the player's play style. However, I believe the player's overall skill level is also a factor in that the higher a player's skill level, the more the ping value matters. And, of course, the reverse is true; an unskilled player is probably making enough other mistakes that the ping doesn't matter. It's like giving a 120-stroke golfer a costly set of clubs. That $800 driver just isn't going to make a difference. For me, I'm lucky enough to have fios and a reasonably fast PC, so my ping generally ranges from 20 to 40 ms (and I do pay attention to the fluctuating value), which means I can't use that as an excuse.
As a matter of fact I always check my ping.
Usually it’s good 20/30 or so.
But when it goes near 100 I do SPGs. And make sure you aim for static targets.
Until now, I didn't know I have good ping, so there goes that excuse. Thanks Claus 😢
I have ping of 200 plus and have given up with lights and medium. SPGs are playable and as you say TDS are good. I will reduce my gram rate as you suggest. Thank you for this content which is useful to us octogenarians with high ping.
Thx for the advices. My ping use to suck's.
The issue I have with teammates is they refuse to shoot in a war game! They spend too much time looking and not moving to shoot.
Love the hair Claus!😆 What type of video card, processor and RAM do you use to get a frame rate over 200?
Before I got Starlink I had 240 ping, after Starlink I am getting 70-120 and it definitely makes my gameplay better, but I still notice shots missing that should have hit and I look up and see I'm having 180-200 spikes in ping.
Ping makes a difference from what is happening in the game server and what you see on your monitor. If your gun aims faster than you reload, keep your finger on the left mouse button and it will fire according to server processing and not what you see... it makes such a difference and when you get used to it, you can "cheat" the ping you have if you have bad ping.
Claus, that was an interesting observation: losing streak ends up with easier matchmaking and winning streak means tougher matchmaking. If that's the case then WG either uses some sort of skill based matchmaking to get you into an easier or tougher match or they scan every player in the queue and match them up based on everyone's current win/loss streak.
However...
What is their definition of a "streak"? Is it consecutive wins/losses or a snapshot win percentage over n games played? Is it 20-25 games or the last 100 games or something in between? How many games does the calculator include to construct a "streak"?
In the end, unless they want to take from breakfast to lunch to match up a single pub match it would have to reduce to some sort of skill based calculation.
I live in Australia and have been playing on the NA server since 2017. 17K games every single time between 250-350 ping... Sometimes it's unplayable with tanks teleporting all over the place.. Sometimes your tank is like a needle skipping on a record... And sometimes you just assume the other players must have Russian blood running deep in their veins because somehow, every single time, they always just seem to be playing from 1 second into the future.. To say I feel frustration playing this f#@!ng game is beyond an understatement! I've pulled out my hair, slammed my mouse, mashed my keyboard, sworn out loud and used every curse word imaginable screaming at little pixels on my screen being controlled by some nerd on the other side of the world! Playing this stupid game night after night, I've got 28 tier 10's in my garage, way too many premium tanks that just sit there never being played.. And my stats suck! I understand the game and how it works, have great reaction times and now after this video... I finally feel validated that yeah, MAYBE IT'S THE F#@!NG PING THAT'S SCREWING ME!!! You hit the nail on the head in this one Claus.. I definitely prefer playing TD's, and on really pingy nights I'll even jump in an SPG.. Yeah that's right... That's what bad ping does to you... makes you play arty!
And 1 more thing.. If that shift key sniper mode thing actually works, then you have actually taught me something about WoT! I can't tell you how many times I've pulled around a corner to slap someone, switched to sniper mode, found myself staring at the sky and then explode! I didn't expect to learn something useful in a Kellerman video :D I'm mainly here for the epic rants and philosophy lessons that noone else dishes out like you Claus! Cheers mate!
Awesome video 😂
I just recently got good internet after years of 100+ping i have had to learn to replay certain tanks for sure.
Live on the US west coast. Never had a ping issue until WG moved the servers to the east. WG as usual assured the West coast players that play would not be affected, which is total horseshit. Now I have to pay attention to my ping and play stationary tanks when it's high.
Don’t normally have a problem with ping these days but if I did I’d probably go with a camping TD and try sniping from the back
Tony Orlando and Dawn, Knock Three times. When ping is high, I just can't stand to play, so I do something else, so it's been about six months now. On the upside, my blood pressure is really good now. Thanks for the show, Claus.
are you a hypnotist Claus?
I want to play pickle-ball. Can't. Two torn rotator cuffs.
Oh, I'm a little surprised, a level 10 video from world of tanks. We haven't had that for at least 4 (?) hours. 🤔 ...holy s**t
We're pretty screwed in Australia, we went from 25-30ms ping on our ANZ server to at best 120ms ping on the new ASIA server. Games queue faster as there is a much bigger player base but the lag we suffer nearly makes the game unplayable. I have uninstalled in frustration only to be lured back in by clan mates...sucker for punishment!
I still play on my EU account, even though I now live in the states. The ping is terrible, but I manage by not going above tier 6 now. On my NA server it's definitely more fun.
I had bloody much ping today, hurrah !!
Being a professional in the IT tech space for the last 30 years knowing about such things, no sorry but my PCs were always built to get the most from gaming through the 1990s to the present. :Lucky enough to have fibre internet, so ping is not an issue for me. As WOT doesn't require the best hardware to work effectively, my current PC is overkill for this game I occasionally play. But having 144Hz refresh rate @1440p along with 200+FPS and a ping of 20Ms probably gives me a decent edge.
Thumbnail made me think it was about teammates constantly pinging the map. 😂
Of course I always think about ping, I live in Colombia and my ping to the server (when it's good) is arounf 105 - 120, I always play in disadvantage, but there is nothing I can do, as distance increases ping. Fun fact: my ping to the SA server is higher (around 200-220)
Quick question : does carrying less amount of munitions aids the tank in speed ?
Claus, are you implying WOT could fix the MM and they don't? How dare you! Lol!
Good play and awareness from Kranvagn. But that artillery… what an asshole move.
WOW 2 nice games , bout time.....
I live in California....I have 200 ping all the time. It's autolock for me and hope for the best. I play mostly Tds, Heavies, and Arty...or a light tank that just sits in a bush. lol
yeah, If I sign on and get a shitty connection I usually do a support role, no brawling.
No claus video today wtf
Speaking of CapLock, how do I keep CL from closing the game window?
Thx in advance.
Playing from Singapore on US server is misery. Maximum I can play is 220 ping, beyond which the game is unplayable. Best ping is 200... So of course I don't play mids because of the lag and concentrate in tds and hvs.
I play for a bit with 25-50 ping and then eventually I get lag on only Oyster Bay or Berlin. Half the time I play the map I get crazy lag and I die or lose the game, half the time its fine. One time I just camped in the back and played with my video setting to try and remove the lag but nothing, nothing... whatever extreme setting I used. So I don't think its the computer. Its just odd I can have fine games for a while and then it starts. But maybe its the apple IIc its running on.
The reason I played in about 8 or more ago was my terrible ping!
i have 70-75 ping game is unplayable in eu1 after morning but the good side is i can farm those 10 and 5 ping players that think they can peak shoot and fall back without even render with my artilery
If in Western Australia if I play the Asia server I get 150 ping (we have to play asia in off peak times) and if I play AU Server I get 25 ping. (8k pc)
So any solutions to lowering my ping?
AY UP CLAUS
Claus, i need this kind of information. Im 64. I used to have ping of 23 til WG closed my server now its 120-150. My gameplay has suffered. Would fibre optics help? It would cost me a lot more in internet but i dont want to waste it if it wont help. Please help this old gut enjoy tanks again
Ding ding ding!
my ping is high 130 so slower tanks and heavy tanks are more suitable for me 🤷♀
i will play the kv2, no worry about ping i always hit bullseye
I know about ping, but what role does FPS play in the game
When I played I had to play with a minimum ping of 320.
How would you guys love ping in the range of 250-300ms!?! It's what I get on a regular basis, but I guess that's what happens when you play from Nigeria. It's possibly why I gravitate towards TDs in the main. My garage is 70% TDs, though for all my trouble Im still a 47 percenter. I don't think it would work any better with SPGs which I hate and don't even have one of in my arsenal.
lol, he fires after the target has moved out of the sight. That’s low ping! About each time he does it, he seems to miss. The universe is still mostly stable.
ping ping the reason why when im bushed in and not spotted i get knocked out before i get lit and the opponent lites a millisecond after he fires
Oh yes
Try the "Asia server" ping challenge.
The ping on the Asia server in New Zealand never gets better than 160!!! When we had the Aussie server it was around 30 -40. Needless to say, it's pretty shit to play on!!!
When i get high ping. I put my hands in my pockets and play ping pong. 😮❤
Never had a Ping in my life! How dare You!!! lol
Every day is a school day
you look like foo fighters lead singer
I had a 200 ping when I had crap internet. Played arty and profit!
Ping I get, but what does fps do...?
I used to load into the battles at about 30 seconds mark, now i start in battle with the game started and desperately need new graphics card fk!
Are you picking on Quickybaby???
When invisible tanks pops up right in front of you, it means you're fucked... And dead real quickly...
That's because your low ping, the WoT software rendering speed and the visual limits of your vievrange sucks...
Wargaming should have a target warning program with a hazy 'Fata Morgana' like tank silhuet just before it's rendered...
Seeing a blurry unidentifiable tank in the general direction of the enemy could prepare a defensive move...
what an a-hole arty that last batle!
I would like to see my ter 8 gold tanks see less ter 10 matches I don't think ping going to help that
I've got a ping G20 driver. OBG golf club. Ping Zing putter too. I'm not real fond of their irons. Too light.
Lol!
Ping - ping - ping...
It's a constant for me. Live in New Zealand, worst overseas Internet connections globally, and I run a NA and EU server account! Yeah, sniping and arty are my favourite least-stressful tanks.
In Africa, all I think about is the ping. I think I'd be a decent player with higher ping, playstyle notwithstanding.
Tank stacking in matches is getting worse. Three un-platooned 60TP's, etc. I see this crap all the time.
I dream of a 150ping. I average 250-350 ping
Dude you talk about 150 ping. We guys from the African continent play with an average ping of 270 going up to 300. And it is like you say for example, too many times when im a 1 shot and i know that fired before the enemy but then he gets the benefit of killing me instead. WG has been adressed with this issue over the years but with no response from them. We're don't even have the option to play on other servers with much lower pings. Now you tell me...hows that for sucking at the game?
I get a healthy 150-250 ping
vicky verky
Im on the SEA server via New Zealand and get 140-160 average ping, yes some nights can be shocking, but I go into sniper mode (get called camper/coward/dog alot lol) and dont rush in until absolutely needing to, cause the worst thing about high ping is you rarely detect anything (no scouting for me lol) and get spotted by everything too easily 🤨
Sent a replay to ya Claus for the "carry the stupids" section in my t34-85m with the ping playing tricks on me lol .... hope you received it 😁
Sounds like you need to find another game to play if you keep handicapping your team because of your shitty internet.
@@PorkusPie .... thank you for your valuable input 🙄
@@PorkusPieWhen did they say their Internet was shitty? Just because they have high ping doesn't mean their Internet is bad!
Another great comment from you for everyone to see!
Happy algorithm comment
Secondies
I got Canadian high speed internet and still ended up quiting the game after 250k rnds.. WG fault..
