BTanks for non-germans plz - psycodiver - 2014-01-01

hi been playing now somewhere between 5-10 years.
My ping has always been around 200ms (I live in Australia) and I have the fastest internet available in my area (adsl2 )
Its pretty hard playing with a ping 10x and sometimes about 20x higher than others.
I have noticed that the more games there are going at once the higher my ping becomes. (each additional game tends to add 20ms to my ping) surely there is something the host(s) for the game can do about this?

I don't suppose that the makers will ever change their policy of "for germans, by germans"?

I dream of a btanks where we have a fair playing field one day and not stacked towards the Europeans (esp. germans.)

The server is actually placed in france. And there is nothing we can do about any routing at the internet nor any hop in between - the server itself is kinda bored by its workload.

Well, it seems the servers provider does have some small problems but that doesn't change the fact having a connection across the globe.

You could ask the NSA to stop listening sea cables and improve the latency ;-)
