Loss of connection to the server is no longer a verdict for battle!
Pilots and tankers, we are introducing the long-awaited mechanics of return to battle due to a lost connection. If you have been disconnected, just reconnect to the server and game will offer you the chance to rejoin the running battle. You will be able to refuse, but what warrior abandons his comrades?
At this stage, the mechanic is effective only in game modes with multiple vehicles in lineups, as currently, the vehicle being used at the time of the disconnection will be counted as lost.

Finally! This I call good addition!
There is still no solution for players who deliberately leave matches. Often making games un-enjoyable.
there is no solution.
Awesome news, thank you :)
I really like this because first you must wait 10 min because you vehicle was in battle. That's past now!
thas sweet
Refund all of my lion on aircraft losses since I start playing this 3 years ago! lol jk. Great job on creating this mechanics. I will be glad for sure since my connection here is so terrible i kept disconnected in game. :D
"what warrior abandons his comrades?" Well, when my comrades are garbage I don't really feel like helping them
I think we should have one too for single spawn games if the player reconnects to the game in under say 3 minute window. But more importantly I think is for the results. As someone with bad internet sometimes in game I got disconnected and didn't get any result from the game, like say I got killed early and left the game(the "left battle before game ended" message), but still get crew lock penalty, which is just ***.
Why not make it so AI takes over your tank, or better it just sits there so if you rejoin you can hop back in?.... Same for planes, I think AI could take over the plane.
"the vehicle being used at the time of the disconnection will be counted as lost." - THIS FIXES NOTHING. What we need is to not be punished for disconnections that are out of the control of many people - especially when the fault is server-side or with an ISP. Just let the vehicle languish until we reconnect to take it over again - how hard is that SERIOUSLY? Stop punishing us at all, not just a little less than before, but AT ALL for something many of us have no control over. This fixes nothing
