F11 shows 100ms, while ping address I got via /ip shows 65-70ms

It seems they use different IPs to calculate ping.

Or they use different protocol to calculate latency:
F11 may show the real numbers – including server message workflow delay.
While ping utility can miss interaction with internal server network.

From what I learned recently, it may be due the size of the packet. The game seems to use packets with 10240 bytes of data while the default for ping in console is 32 bytes. Try to change it and see if both get close (on Windows 7 [maybe other versions too] it’s the parameter -l [e.g. ping <ip here> -l 10240]).

tried that. thank you. it’s 26 ms on average versus 47 ingame with that parameter.

Somewhat closer then, it seems it was like I said yes.
