High ping == God mode
Yeah, so how about that ping max for players on servers? I've played on the Asian servers, and it's a GOD-mode with a high ping. Just run around in zigzag and shoot everyone.

I agree that it's most likely intentional if Asian players are joining OOR servers since they do have their own region.
Even if players in Asia kept to their region though the players in the UAE and South Africa unfortunately don't have the choice, they have to use EU servers now and will have much higher ping because of that (usually 150+ too).
At the end of the day I could be totally wrong (I frequently am haha), I've just resigned myself to the situation not improving, that's all.
Could this at least be fixed in future products? I cannot bear a BF 6 with the same issues...
- @Tsathoqqua Well, this issue has been pointed out by the community counless times. However, the answer we were getting over and over again, is that this is not possible. They claim, that players with high ping will always be at a disadvantage. So I don´t fell like they will ever do something about this.
In my opinion this problem is way worse than cheaters are. When you have a cheater on your server, you can just leave and join a different one. Finding a server without people abusing their high ping is almost impossible...Yeah, I know, I just don't think we should let the topic die when its clearly false.
Yes, there are things you cannot do with a high ping, but run zig-zag and you can pretty much not be killed unless they shoot where you're not.
It's a BIG issue, even today in October 2020 with a very simple fix.
- The main issue (and I know many may disagree) may not be ping but skill level difference. For example, on Xbox the Oceania region gets between 3 - 5 servers that are always packed. Going into these servers solo is a death sentence as every server is stacked with highly skilled competitive players and no matter what you do you cannot escape it.
So what do you do, you make platoons and play day after day as if you're competing in an ESL or MLG tournament. 2 things will happen, either you give up and put down the game or you push through it and improve.
Now I've gone into North American servers and I main as a fighter pilot. I have to deal with a ping of 300+, planes teleporting in my screen and objects being closer than they appear such as the ground and mountains, yet I still dominate. I have friends who tank and run on ground and they dominate too.
There are those who say high ping helps, yet when Europeans or North Americans come onto our severs with high pings they suffer even more so and this leads me to believe that, due to North America having so many servers the competitive players are few and far between.
The NA servers are primarily Solo players vs Solo players with a few duo/trio mixed in and this just isnt the case in Oceania or Asia servers. These servers push you to your absolute limits and another breed of player comes out of it. So perhaps the issue isn't so much a high ping issue but a skill based issue. If you want to test this theory out yourself and your in NA or EU servers, try going onto Oceania or Asia servers during peak hours (after work hours) and see the difference
