Find out IP by domain name You can use the nslookup command in the Command Line.
For this: Start - Run - cmd - nslookup , Where - this is the server name, for example login.p1.worldoftanks.net

Result

Nslookup login.p1.worldoftanks.net Server: google-public-dns-a.google.com Address: 8.8.8.8 Untrustworthy response: Name: login.p1.worldoftanks.net Addresses: 178.20.235.129 178.20.235.151 178.20. 235.173 178.20.235.189

In this case, the IP addresses of login.p1.worldoftanks.net are as follows:

178.20.235.129
178.20.235.151
178.20.235.173
178.20.235.189

Choosing the Best Server

Using the Ping command

To find out which server is better to play WOT on, you need to open the Command Line: Start - Standard - Command line and write ping IP(where IP is the server address).

Team results ping 178.20.235.180 from Moscow

C:\Users\ping 178.20.235.180 Pinging 178.20.235.180 with 32 bytes of data: Reply from 178.20.235.180: bytes=32 time=3ms TTL=55 Reply from 178.20.235.180: bytes=32 time=3ms TTL=55 Reply from 178.20.235.180: bytes=32 time=3ms TTL=55 Reply from 178.20.235.180: bytes=32 time=3ms TTL=55 Ping statistics for 178.20.235.180: Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 ( 0% loss), Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds: Minimum = 3ms, Maximum = 3ms, Average = 3ms

However, it is easier to check the ping to the server using a domain name, since the IP addresses behind it can be changed.

It is possible to run a ping check automatically for several servers.

To do this you need to do the following:

1. Create a file Text document.txt
2. Add the code below into it
3. Rename it to ping.bat
4. Launch

Using the PingCheck program

The program will help you determine which RU is better to play WoT on. PingCheck. It was published by the developer relatively recently, but has already gained popularity. The software supports checking multiple servers simultaneously. In addition to World of Tanks game clusters, the program can also check World of Warplanes game clusters for availability. A feature of the program is its simplicity and beautiful design.
Requires Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 to work

Using the WoT Ping Server program

Despite the simplicity and reliability of the methods described above for determining the best server or ping for World of Tanks, the most understandable for the user will be to use specialized utility WoT Ping Server. Program WoT Ping Server designed to analyze the quality of the Internet connection with ten game servers. The program has an intuitive interface and multilingual support, which allows you to determine the most suitable server for a comfortable game in a couple of clicks.
The advantage of this program is that it works on clean operating system, that is, it does not require installation of additional software. Test results are displayed in the form of a histogram. It is possible to run an extended connection test.

Using the WoT Ping Clusters program

The advantages over analogues are that in addition to text, the ping is also displayed in the form of a graph.
For connection stability, a cluster is calculated in which packet loss is minimal or completely absent.
And the most suitable server based on ping results is displayed in recommendations.
Implemented configuration file, which means you can add an unlimited number of clusters (servers).
It is possible to choose the number of attempts and the interval between them.
Requires installation to work

In March or April 2012, on the World of Tanks forum, I read that on the European server worldoftanks.eu the balancer is much friendlier than ours in Russia. It’s friendlier not because they don’t like Russians, but because the number of players is 3 times smaller.

On a weekday evening, when schoolchildren have returned from school, boys and men have returned from institutes, colleges, academies, or just from work, they sit down at their computers and turn on the coveted World of Tanks shortcut. I do the same thing and at the same time I monitor and keep statistics on the number of people and how it affects the balancer.

Every weekday at 17:00 Moscow time, ~150 thousand people are on servers. From 17:00 to 22:00 the number increases to ~350 thousand. On Friday at 22:00 this number is ~375. On weekends, during the day it stays at ~250 thousand and in the evening it pushes hard to reach the top of 400,000.

When the number of online players begins to exceed 200 thousand, the balancer is thrown into not the most pleasant places. I made comparisons like this: I take a premium tank and when 150 thousand people are loaded into the server, my premium type takes its premium place - this is 4, 5 or 6. At the same time, in the first place are Tier 8 tanks - IS-3, Tiger-2, T34, Lowe, etc., respectively, after the heavy weights come ST and PT, among them the balancer gives place to the type (the picture of the “cocktail” is as follows, from the first to the last place TT 8, PT 7, ST 8, ST 7, PT 6, TT 7, TT 6, ARTA, light t-50 or amx 12t). Here 4 out of 10 type fights are in 5th-6th place, the other 4 out of 10 fights are in 4th-5th place and 2 out of 10 fights are in 2nd-3rd place.

When loading a server for 350 people, the premium type 5 out of 10 fights ends up where the 9th or 10th level heavyweights are in the top. Naturally, the balance picture here is different, even if one heavy 9 leveled in the top, then the rest are PT 8 and ST 9, TT 8, ST 8, ST 7, TT 7, ARTA and, in addition, fireflies-attack aircraft AMX "s 13 90 13 75.

They say that the European WOT server does not load above 200 thousand.

As Woffka wrote in a comment, “I have an account on both servers, but I play more in Russian. In general, it seems easier to play in Europe for a different reason. They have a different style of play. They like to sit in the bushes more, they don’t go into attack much. On the Russian server the game is more dynamic. It’s all about randomness, of course. I participated very little in company battles in Europe.” - that’s pretty much it.

I created an account, downloaded the client, installed the deer meter and went to random on MS-1 (this was already the third battle). To my surprise, the deer meter showed the absence of players with experience, i.e. there was not a single person who fought 1000 battles. I shot 8 people, upgraded the MS-1 to elite and took the BT-2. In general, I haven’t climbed out of the level 1 sandbox yet and play mainly on MS-1. Here I can say with confidence that it is easier to play, because... There are fewer fashionable extras than we have in Russia. On our servers you can sometimes find battles in which up to 5 people on each side, extras who have played 12 thousand - 16 thousand battles, gently cut out newcomers and continue the battle with equal opponents. In the European sandbox you can meet players with 4 thousand - 7 thousand fights and average statistics.

Having created new account European Wot offers a tedious tutorial, but in return (if you finish it to the end) promises an M3 Lee with a fully upgraded crew.

When playing on a European server, I would like to focus on paid services, or rather on the results from them, i.e. how to “high”, “far” and play well on premium equipment, on a premium account on an unloaded European server. Payments are an integral part of World of tanks and no matter how much we would like to pay for "Play World of tanks for FREE" There are a large number of people who prefer to pay 350 rubles per month for a premium account in order to be higher in the random rankings and earn more experience and silver. My goal is to find out whether the European VBR (balancer) will be “more respectful” of the premium account than the Russian one. In other words, by purchasing gold in Wargaming tanks, they provided you paid service, he will pay taxes on the money received, he needs to compare the “quality” of the service on the European and Russian server, where the balancer is the foundation of the world of tanks and its financial activities. And the financial activity of the developer is directly related to the prospects of the project.

In short, I created a new account not only on the European server, but also on our RU, and also installed an oleometer on both. I’ll collect “statistics”, tell you, write.

On the European server, after our Russian one, it is undoubtedly easier to play. I created two new accounts, one in Russian and the other in European. Without gold, Prema sat on MS-1 because it is on it that my arms look the straightest.

The most important thing that stands out is the fact: “In European people play for fun!” No cold 15:00 minute confrontation behind the houses in anticipation of “let’s wait for them to climb in first,” accompanied by the moral motivation of the deer in the chat. In a word, most of the players, in an uneven formation, wall-to-wall, shoot at each other. I didn’t encounter any swearing, vining, supporting allies or chasing frags. In 90% of cases, the balancer throws the first-level tank towards similar ones. Also, in a “batch” of 15 people, the balancer adds a pinch of pedobirs, only here these are players with an efficiency of 1000 and 5-6 thousand battles. From such frequent drops to the first levels and the absence of professional gays, after 150 fights on the MS-1, my deer meter shows 2800 efficiency in purple,

The Russian server is harsh! Like the harsh days of besieged Leningrad, no smiles, no sun, no jokes. On a Russian server, after 60-70 battles (done in a week), the first level is increasingly sent to the second, where the formidable and impenetrable M18s force them to plan battle tactics, ask for help and persuade the “greenies” to go to the right place on the map. The opposite fact to the European server: “In the sandbox of the Russian server there is no game in the style of Just For FUN!" After 150 fights on MS-1 on the new account, more and more often the balancer is throwing 50/50 to the second levels. In the sandbox of the Russian server you can meet professional gays 2 - 4 players from 11 to 18 thousand fights and efficiency up to 1800. Exactly The battle continues on these players after all the “red ones” have merged.

The European server is good, but there are others from North America, Korea, and Southeast Asia. Judging by the largest WOT championships, residents of Southeast Asia and America are just as devoted fans of the game as Russians.

Updated 04/05/2017: Adapted for patch 0.9.17.1

If a player wants to play several battles on Euro servers, he has to download a separate client and spend time installing it. The WoT Region Editor program is designed to solve this problem; with just one keystroke, the standard client is ready to take the player to any region, for example, Asian.

On this moment World of Tanks is active in four regions. These are Russia, Europe, America, and also Asia. Each of these four regions requires a separate client and account. If you can create an account quite easily and quickly, then problems may arise with downloading and installing a new client. WoT Region Editor allows you to quickly change the game region, without the need to download individual clients. Just launch the program and select the region you need. In a few seconds you will be ready to play!

Why do some tankers create accounts in other regions? This could be simple curiosity (what about their skill) or a desire to take part in some kind of promotion, for example, recently a premium tank was distributed on American servers (but personal tasks had to be completed).

Installation

• Extract the contents of the archive to the folder with the client and run the WoTRegionEditor.exe program file. Select the required region and wait until the files are changed.
• Remember, a separate account is used for each region, that is, you cannot play with your old profile used on the RU server in the European region.

Step by step how to register and play on the European (American) wot server.

In order to register in any other gaming region, you need to use an anonymizer. Moreover, it can be used for other purposes, for example, to view sites whose authors have prohibited visits from the IP addresses of your country. Well, some irresponsible citizens use it to visit the same torrent tracker RuTracker.

One of the most popular anonymizers for Firefox add-on anonymoX, install, click on the icon X, select the flag of the country of interest. Or another very convenient anonymizer of. browsec page install it in your browser in the upper right corner a shield (for Firefox) or a planet (for Google Chrome) if you click on the shield (for Firefox), your IP address automatically changes to the IP of the Netherlands, clicking again returns you “home”. The only negative in Firefox is that there are no other regions besides the Netherlands. In Chrome there are no problems with selecting a region, click on the planet, select the region of interest and click ON. OFF brings you “home”.

With the anonymizer enabled, follow the link to any server of interest and add working for a given region.. Just do not forget that the country selected in the anonymizer must match the selected registration link.

Another important point- this is a language barrier, personally, I know very little Chinese, Korean, etc., and I don’t know at all, to be honest. A natural problem arises during registration. Solved with the help of an addition Google browser The translator will translate almost any website, even one written in Swahili. Of course, the translation will not be mechanical literally, but what is actually being said can be understood better than contemplating hieroglyphs. Install a translator for Google Chrome, for those who use Firefox, a translator for Firefox.

Chinese server http://wot.kongzhong.com/

American server http://worldoftanks.com/

European server http://worldoftanks.eu/

Korean server http://worldoftanks.kr/

Asian server http://worldoftanks.asia/

For each region you will have to download your own client. If you try to log into a European account from a RU client, you will constantly get a message about an incorrectly entered password. On the one hand, it is convenient to immediately install a client of another region; there will be no problems with updates, as when using the WoT Region Editor program. But the installation itself is a little annoying. The choice is yours.

Download the client you are interested in from the above links

Attention: In order not to bother with downloading and installing a separate client, there is a WoT Region Editor program for changing the wot server without installing and downloading the client. If you decide to download the client, read on.

What to do before installing the client

Save the game settings file preferences.xml to any convenient location located C: - Users - Your name - AppData ( hidden folder) - Roaming -Wargaming.net - WorldOfTanks - preferences.xml you can go this long way, or click Win+R and dial %AppData% Wargaming.net - WorldOfTanks - preferences.xml will remain.

Rename the desktop shortcut, for example, World of Tanks_ru

Next to the World_of_Tanks folder, create new folder with an arbitrary name, let's say World_of_Tanks_eu, install a new client in it

What to do after installing the client

Now you have two shortcuts on your desktop, World of Tanks_ru and a new one, rename it if you plan to install a third region, for example, World of Tanks_eu.

Return the file preferences.xml back with a replacement, this will save you from unnecessary fiddling with the settings.

Copy from old folder World_of_Tanks -> res two folders audio And text and move them to a new folder World_of_Tanks_eu Having agreed with the replacement, you will now have Russian text and partially Russian voice acting.

When installing mods, do not forget to enter a new path to the game. Well, activate your account on the xvm website in the appropriate region.
