@Seeyou It looks like your suspicion was right. I found a free sec to investigate my Hell Let Loose ping issue.
Here's what the in game browser says my ping is for the server:

Here's what my actual in game ping is when connect to said server:

So I busted out resource manager to find the IP of the server I'm connecting to so I can find what route I'm taking to get to it.

And finally the MTR to that IP:

Sadly as you can see by NYC its being routed through the US. I don't know why the server browser is exempt from this route but its a good example of the potential mess that this new routing could cause. I mean I'm lucky that this is a server based game, I have no idea what its going to do to p2p or ping based matchmaking games.
@PBCool I really hope you guys have a cunning plan to fix this because it could cause major issues.
