There are already tanks in the game that makes it easy for people to play the game even with high ping, arty being one of these tanks.

 

However it would be nice if there was a tank that only people with packet loss and high ping can drive it around. For example a tank called "high ping Maus"  and then this tank is matched against other "high ping Maus" to balance things out between teams and both teams would get people with high ping. And cheating this out by using some kind of hack that increases ping temporaly would be bannable.

 

But sure the idea is to allow only people that have experienced high ping during a certain period of time until the point the person select the tank to play, to actually enter a battle with the tank. The tank would help to compensate somehow for bad ping (have advantages), and it would have a bit more hitpoints and armor than the normal version of the tank. Ping checks would occour to make sure the player experience lag consistently.

 

The tank would have special features such as, AI would temporarily take control of the tank in case the player get disconnected and would attempt to play defensively, attack or cap until the player reconnect. There are more "features" of this suggestion that I would like to disclose, but I am not sure right now how to explain these "features", I just need to write it down in a way easy to everyone to digest it. Standby plz.

 

If you have any idea to add here plz feel free. I am sorry this thread is not fully completed by I will add more content later. The idea is here, its a suggestion already, so does not break any rules.

 

I will just leave it here this way - a bit lacking details, because the goal is to make the full suggestion later as soon as possible. If you dont like the idea its okay too. For now this is all I can suggest.

 

See you soon to edit this thread with a more detailed idea. (will add full content later)

I never heard of one idea that a "CC" wanted into the game.

Seeing that high-ping players can't shoot or drive straight, they should be

 

- amphibious so that even if they drive into the drink they don't drown

- slow

- limited to using only splash-reliant arty-mechanics HE shells because they can't aim for weakspots

- not immune to team damage, so that if the player gets DC-ed, teammates can detrack them and thus save them from impending doom

- no autoloaders, autocannons, autoreloaders, or machine guns to reduce server traffic

- very poor view and radio range to reduce server traffic concerning enemy and allied tanks

It should have high pen HE alpha and rockets, and have tier 10 armour.

 

Oh. Sorry, we already have one.

 

But I like the idea of restricting it to only be played by people with 999 ping or greater.
