If you are an aggressive type of player being often in the first line, this skill imho is a must have

To have an opinion of course you do not need to play all sort of ships. As we have seen here on forums, to have an opinion you do not even need to play any ships at all. Unfortunately for you, to be able to have a valid opinion you do have to play a sufficient number of matches in the ships you comment. Your chef analogy is also missing the point completely as here the discussion is not about the taste of a dish, but about how the dish is to be prepared (in this case engagement between BB and DD) - which definitely requires cooking experience and knowledge Always keep in mind the following proverb: True wisdom comes from experience

Simply because of MM. As the MM in TB tries at least to create a "skill" based match-up, extending the mode to 24/7 would ruin it since there would be not enough teams available especially during the day for example. From what I have seen so far, well coordinated and skilled teams literally shred to pieces less skilled teams which is very little fun to any of them. I would though support extending the time for an hour or two during the weekends since I am sure that there would be enough available teams.

Your basic premise is absolutely wrong. A battleship who allows to be destroyed and most of its health taken out by a single DD (by guns) is just a bad play from BB captain side. It did happen to me several times, and every single it was the result of my bad judgement and nothing else. Sorry to say but you cannot expect the game mechanics to "reward" this type of bad play from a BB.

Personally I am not worried at all. Having played on PT, I can say that MM can remain sufficiently decent even in case of 1-2k players. Imho, WoWs is much more fun when there is a limited playerbase. It is not that the game was better in CBT or such, but smaller playerbase allowed for more "fun" to sufficiently experienced players and a nicer community. Having big and growing playerbase with a lot of new players is good for company profits, but not necessarily good for regular players and old time customers.

I doubt very much there is any point in having a discussion about the points you raise. Main reasons: - You tried to look at the point in time with lowest EU server population in order to try to add merit to some random bob ranting on NA server. You also seemed to have forgotten that we can all easily check server populations on http://warshipstats.com/eu/ and see that you are presenting wrong figures. Thats just sad mate - Then you are making one of the "best" statements (in your wall of I do not really know really how to call it): "What i am noticing these days is, "And what is even more worrying most of the experienced players are leaving the game."". It would be great if you could enlighten us how on earth you managed to measure that. Do you have some special access to WG databases or are you just pulling figures/statement out of your nether regions as it seems? - The level of your knowledge about gaming is I would say best shown by your most hilarious statement: "...I hope some one makes a warship game as it should, cause it is freaking simple..." - Your love and admiration for Elon Musk is quite obvious, but if you really want to quote business leaders, there are much much better choices to say the least, than that guy. All in all, I could not care less why you felt that your weird post and topic will bring something to the discussion here on forums, but if you want your posts to be taken seriously or properly discussed, you should try to write them in a style and content more befitting of a 40yo who I presume should have an adequate level of maturity, knowledge and understanding about both the game and the world at large.

As there is rather limited discussion about maps, lets see what the community thinks about the existing maps. Please choose 2 most favored and 2 least liked maps. As the focus is on map design and related gameplay, amount of bugs on the map should not be a criteria. As an example, even though Islands of Ice is bugged as hell, I believe the map is quite good .

Sound warnings for critical damage and such is a good thing overall, but the choice of effects is very bad to say the least. That "electronic" type of sound kills quite a bit of immersion for me as I cannot picture these sounds in that era.

Also experiencing major micro-lags after this update.

As others have also said, the rewards are rather crap, so I could not personally care less about completing them. TBH the only missions I "cared" about completing was the Project R and that was extremely easy with very little time invested (if one started from the first week). I just play ships/tiers I feel like playing. If in the process I get some additional small rewards then nice, if not it does not matter to me at all, as I do not have a feeling of loosing out anything important in case I do not complete the missions.

You have to play well even with premium if you want to earn money in T9. T9 or T10 are not meant for grinding credits. Lower tiers are meant for that. The point of top tiers is to have a more challenging game in all aspects. Personally I believe that T9 or T10 ships are meant in essence for Clan Wars and/or Team Battles (when these are launched for top tiers)

It should not be as harsh as it sounds I have to admit that I received basically the same message long time ago when I tried to access the Alpha server with BW account. I was a bit afraid that I will have issues accessing the CBT server once launched, however everything was fine.

Indeed. As we already have in WoWs the Pan Asian tree, we should definitely have a Pan European one, hopefully by 2017. Though I can just imagine the whine on the forums why certain ships were included and the others were not

Hmmm, looks the same as mine so its not the problem... My last possible advice is to maybe first delete all the mods from the folder and try to launch the game normally before reinstalling mods.

I just tried it now. After loading the game in safe mode, I restarted and tried with just pressing play. Everything (mods included) loaded normally again. The only thing I can suggest is for you to check WOWsLauncher.cfg (it is in the installation folder). The line which seems to be related to launch mode is: <supported_launch_types>default;safe</supported_launch_types>

Next time I would suggest that you first take a few deep breaths before posting. While your comment seem valid, the tone of it will just make it more likely to be dismissed as another useless whine&rage on forums. Always remember the proverb: Kind words will unlock an iron door Raging and expletives will never get you anywhere.

It seems they removed the news item where it said I believe that it was scheduled from 10.3 to 14.3. Though screenshot from Panocek seems to confirm it starts on 10.03.2016 at 02:00

I do not hide my stats. Reasons are: - I do not yet see XVM like mods being that popular, and I expect them to die out going forward in any case since they make very little sense with hide stats option available - When looking at certain opinions here on forum, I like to check from time to time if the poster has experience about the discussed topic. Likewise, when I post my opinions it is only fair that people can check the same if they want. A good example is one of the discussions about Shimakaze being OP by a guy who has neither played it, played very few low tier DD games and his max tier is overall 8. Yes he might have seen the Shima in several games being the bottom tier, but imho this is not a sufficient experience to judge the ships (as either OP or UP for that matter). - I do not care that much about stats or trying to maximize them. As my personal goal is to be over WR 52% on average (i.e. to positively contribute on average), I have no doubts now after playing more than 2000 games that I will be able to be above that goal with or without XVM present.

Also did not vote due to bad poll. OP please decide if you want to be funny/trollish or actually suggest something. Your topic name is about teamplay, but the post is a "kill stealing" rant. Bottom line is that damage is already more rewarded than kills (XP & credits wise). Mission wise, there are more missions about dmg, XP, fires set... than about killing x ships, so there again the priority is not that much on kills.

Imp. Nikolais main weakness is being prone to detonations. I am getting detonated about every 30-40 games - way more often than with other ships (destroyers included). Though I agree that its turrets are tough. The do get incapacitated, but very seldom detroyed.

Well you can have any flag you want with mods If you mention the various flags, why not also put the Japanese one? Then again it seems that most people here forget what German philosopher Walter Benjamin said so eloquently: "History is written by the victors". Also what is often forgotten, is that there are no major powers which in their history were not responsible for murder of millions of people - so your comment about "hammer and sickle" is a very moot point.

Great idea, count me in for any side
