Sample submissions:

The first two were our first competitions in the WoWS forum. Both finished very recently with lots of submissions and as I said we are going to have similar events in the near future. The third one is indeed a player-run competition, however it is partly sponsored by WGEU (the doubloons come from us). To be honest, MrFingers reading your various posts and threads, I kinda get the feeling that you are on a personal vendetta against WGEU. You are trying your hardest to ignore everything we do right and point out everything (you feel) we do wrong. Maybe try doing something constructive instead, like Ducat1st0 did with his contest

Meanwhile in Europe we also have these, and we are going to have more in the future: http://forum.worldofwarships.eu/index.php?/topic/31528-bullseye/ http://forum.worldofwarships.eu/index.php?/topic/31404-deadliest-catch/ http://forum.worldofwarships.eu/index.php?/topic/32123-competition-win-a-tacobanana/

Don't worry, we are going to have more specials for you in October

We have passed on the feedback, the developers are aware of the issue.

In my experience RNG hates WG employees. Since I arrived at the office, my stats went down the drain (Probably due to the unfamiliar PC I am using, but that might be just me looking for excuses)

The fact that "Can we please buff Battleships?" and "Cruisers are outrageously unbalanced" are to of the most hotly debated topics ATM is probably a good indication that these two classes are actually in a pretty good spot as far as balance is concerned at least when it comes to fighting against each other. When I sit in my Pensacola and see a battleship my thought process is: I am going to wiggle my ship as unpredictable as I can (preferably timing his salvos if he is firing full broadsides) and burn him down, he has no chance. When I sit in my North Carolina and see a cruiser: I am going to predict where he is turning and citadel him with my first salvo then sink him with my second, he has no chance. No matter if I sit in a CA or in a BB I always feel that if I am playing correctly and Fortuna is just a little bit on my side I can have the upper hand.

Don't worry, bumping into someone won't exclude you from the contest.

Well, on the one hand you can evade quite a few torps if you have good map awareness and keep track of where the bombers are coming from (plus staying in cruiser cover when possible can help too), on the other hand you are not supposed to dodge every single torpedo. You are a battleship with a few hit points to spare plus you can recover quite a bit of the flooding (and fire) damage over time. With good map awareness, positioning, intelligent consumable usage and precise shooting BBs can be extremely strong.

Hey TomTheBonehead! The screenshot you provided doesn't tell much about what happened in the battle, however the fact that you survived and received only 125 XP (even if it was a defeat) tells me that you didn't contribute much to the battle (you did very little damage, didn't shoot down planes etc. ) Credits and XP are rewards for battle performance, which means that if you don't contribute you get very little of both and while you can kinda get away with that in lower tiers without losing money, at tier 8 you need to "work for your money". - Ph3lan

It seems that we have very different experiences when it comes to premium ships/tanks. Premium vehicles have always been great credit earners in Wargaming titles (that's one of the main reasons you buy them) and this hasn't changed either in WoT or in WoWS, they clearly earn more than their regular counterparts. To illustrate my point I've attached two results with the Tirpitz. The first result is my latest game with the ship, nothing special, just a decent game. Still, it earned me more than half a million credits. The second picture shows a battle of my colleague MrConway, an outstanding battle with more than 1.000.000 credits earned. But even way worse matches earn me 200-300k credits. I doubt any regular Tier 8 could match that income.

Greetings Captains! We are interested in your opinions about Flag packages in the premium shop. If you have any additional feedback, don't hesitate to share it in the comments.

Hello Captains! I am Ph3lan, the new ( well, let's say "newish" ) Community Coordinator for the English Team. You might have already seen me posting on the WoWS forums in the last couple of weeks, but silly as I am, I have completely forgotten to introduce myself. So here it is:I come from Hungary and before becoming a Coordinator I have been a Hungarian Community Contributor (youtuber/streamer) who has been playing World of Tanks, World and Warships and other Wargaming titles for a really long time. I am looking forward to working with the English Language Community and hopefully I am going to see you guys on the forums, social media, in-game as well as at offline events. Don’t hesitate to say hi if you see me!

I understand where you are coming from. However it is not only about being busy, it is also about posting something that is relevant and answering questions we can answer. Being active on the forums and working on community events is also only a part of our responsibilities, we have lots of other stuff to work on that's less visible than our forum presence. That being said, our team is getting bigger, so you should see us posting more in the future

The discussion of news articles moved to the portal, that's why no new news articles have been added to the "News and Announcements" section. Pretty much, this.

I have played both in the last couple of days quite a bit. I have to say that I like the Tirpitz more, and I generally do better in it, but that might be just my love for BBs talking It probably comes down to your own personal preference. If you do better in CAs you should probably go for the Atago, if you prefer BBs you won't be disappointed with the Tirpitz.

Yeah, it probably wouldn't work with a stock configuration. Then again, the NC has a the advantage that 2/3 of its damage is concentrated in the 2 front turrets which is quite advantageous if you want to shot something in front of you. So in a head on fight its in a pretty good position even without the rear turret and presenting a broadside to the enemy.

I have to agree with the guys above, the New Mexico is one of the best ships of the American BB line. I am currently at the North Carolina, but I still wish I would sail the NM instead. Fully equipped it turns exceptionally well for a BB and has awesome guns for its tier. The only thing I didn't like about it , was its speed but you can't have everything right? I would give it another chance if I were you, it may grow on you!

Try to angle your ship and present the smallest possible target to the enemy. It can be a bit tricky since the turret in the back has a very limited firing arc when it is facing forward, but if you time it correctly you can shoot your salvo and be angled again by the time the enemy is about to shoot.In my experience the NC is a great cruiser killer, the Cleveland is a special case though. The easiest way to citadel a Clevelend is to shoot it slightly forward of the frontal gun turrets (so not in the middle of the ship like with other cruisers). Good luck!
