VMF ships so OP they kill themselves if not handled with care

In order to have such opinion, either you were unbelievably lucky in 30k games in WoT or extremely unlucky in your WoWs games. As Kevbar said, I also find WoWs much more enjoyable than WoT.

Again what provocation are you talking about? Is it due to the fact that Krasny Krim defended Odessa and Sevastopol against the Nazis (I hope that's not the reason...)? Is there an uproar about Kiev sporting a soviet flag? Surely that must be a huge provocation in your opinion it would seem... WoWs being a game covering basically the period of WW1-WW2, I also find it brainless when people (or WG in case of German flags) feel offended by: - Soviet flag taking into account the sacrifices and huge losses & suffering they had in WW2 - Imperial German Navy flag as it had nothing to do with Nazi crimes Sorry for off-topic

Only brainless people can consider a ship which actually saw service in WW2 against the nazis as provocation....

Though if you are not chasing top diamond count it is also too easy to collect 600+ with all the "autocomplete" missions.

Mods pls close this abomination of a thread...

Written like a true WoT player. I see you managed to understand the whole concept of the game in about 10 days since you joined WoWs (and about 100 games played). Hence who is anyone here to dispute you opinion? I think none are worthy since most of us spent months and months playing, learning and understanding the game which you managed in just mere days. Please leave now. Go to control panel and uninstall immediately. Don't waste even a minute longer on forums, we are not worthy of your eloquent posts and deep insights. There are so many other games and forums which just yearn for a player of your caliber, your analytical power and ability to express opinions. Finally, just leave, do not even consider coming back, its not worth it. Please, please...

I had MrConway on my team a few days ago. There was no abuse whatsoever in chat even when greeted, so I guess that you were unlucky to have a few rotten apples (probably from forums here) in the match.

Well said, too many "purists" here on forum. The reality is that there are cheats for WoWs, but fewer and with much less impact compared to most other popular titles. Being a realist, that is one of the reasons why I enjoy WoWs

As XVM features so prominently it seems to me that you are posting in the wrong forum (WoWs instead of WOT)

Reduce =/= remove...

Of course I agree that it is best to push together. However invisifire promotes bad gameplay in case of players with limited understanding of the game (i.e. the majority). It goes something like: 1. Look, I can shoot at things without being spotted 2. This surely means that my main role is to stay in the back and shoot at those nasty battleships all day long And this where all thinking basically stops. Such players would never think that their main role is to battle DDs and other CAs since you cannot really do so with invisifire.

We all get upset with unannounced changes, but that is a bit of over-exaggeration. Data from Reddit: [–]Gilthanor 2 points 15 hours ago Pre 5.6 values with CE, followed by post 5.6: Gearing 9.4 - 9.7 Khab 13.2 - 13.8 Shima 9.4 - 9.7 Des Moines 16.0 - 16.7 Zao 15.0 - 15.8 Gremy 9.5 - 9.9 Atago 14.5 - 15.2 Kamikaze R 8.7 - 9.0 As very few ships are affected (and not that much tbh) I personally consider this as a minor change.

Stealth fire allows to deal damage without being opposed - it is an ideal "mechanic" for campers. Hence contrary to your claim, it does not provide any incentive whatsoever to get closer, rather the opposite. Now if they want to stay at max range they will basically have no benefit out of it. In other words, now such cruiser captains will just get rekt more often at long ranges by BBs, so unless they get closer to the action they will end the game with little to no damage dealt. Who knows, they might even consider engaging enemy DDs for a change, rather than just clicking for 20mins against BBs. There is a lot of whine here about camping high tier BBs, but to me camping cruisers are even worse. I have seen more than enough cruiser captains spending the whole game in the back because they think that invisifire is the only way how to play certain cruisers.

In any case too much stealth firing ability just promotes passive/camping play. Never really understood what is the fun in being constantly at max range. So generally aggressive players will feel very little to no difference. Passive players will be much more affected and I have no objections to that. I wish there were more things done by WG to discourage the passive play which is the main reason for so much less fun in high tiers.

I am a solo yolo warrior type Capable of great feats and utter stupidity (often in the same match). Strong preference for Russian ships as they are the most fun for me during yoloing, and a lot of them are pew, pew beasts. Just scream URAAA and go with the guns blazing - fun guaranteed, survival much less so

Trolls seem to be out in force today.

Topic name: Russian Navy discovered both America and Atlantida First line: Nah, this is not a troll post. Yeah right, anything you say dear 22cm This thread promises to have a very short life

I had issues with crashing (memory error) in the beginning of games, without being able to load again until the match was over. In the end I reinstalled the game and all was fixed.

The PT server seems to be down

The mode as the idea and mechanic wise is great and definitely not a failure. However as other have pointed out, the lack of rewards (at least flags) and still cumbersome organizing and joining the teams is making it much less appealing. What is strange is that WG is taking so long to implement imho simple improvements (such as xx flags after xx battles/wins for example) which could greatly increase the popularity of TB. I understand that their idea was probably to try to "monetize" the mode immediately as it might push some players to spend money on flags, but its way too early for such attempts especially without some "endgame" incentives (e.g. credit/doubloon rewards for moving up the leagues, for top 20 teams...). Please WG create at least some missions or events (with nice rewards) around TBs and the popularity will soar. That should be extremely easy to implement.

The PT server is up, 877 players currently. Off I go to check it out a bit

Thanks for the link. Sounds interesting, but lets see what the rebalancing is about. I very much like the new minimap options and new maps for high tiers.

I still wonder why there are so few topics about TBs. +1 for the initiative gr0pah. I hope WG will start promoting it much more (e.g. with prizes in flags, credits...) as imho the core of WoWs is teamplay.
