Sludge Servers. What causes it?

Just got off playing Renewal on X Series in Australia AOW and driving in the tank feels like I'm driving in sludge.

I had to keep on checking I was driving with boost mode on because of the lack of zip about every movement.

I've come across this phenomena in past battlefield games and I wonder why servers do this from time to time.

Same map with double the players last weekend and no such problems.

  • @Tank2042Man I get that pretty frequently too, sometimes it's the opposite, feel like you're flying / gliding over the ground. Last night watched Ironhead running in place in slow motion, looked about 5 cm off the ground. He was feeling the sludge for sure. Then every now and then, I get a server that feels smooth and fast and I can go 24-5 that round. Unfortunately the next one is a lag fest and I'll go 7-15. Like a crack addict, I keep playing for those good rounds. I blame MM and mixing servers with players outside my region as that could happen in previous games and you'd see a player with 300+ ping.

    100% this, there is absolutely no consistency.

    It is so hard to put a decent round together under these conditions, like you my scores have been trash at times.
