All looks good so far, the slow progress towards 'alternate' methods of gaining XP are a welcome improvement... not too sure how the normalisation is implemented here though... As for Dasha, The 'dressing down' is a disappointment..... I would have thought that with the launch of the German Battleship lines, and the fact that it is mid summer, she would have been much more suited to a German Navy themed Bikini.........

Episode 1 cruiser has taken no prior damage before torpedo hit/ didn't hit... Episode 2 Cambeltown was just downright weird... Episode 3 where torpedo run from stern to bow down centreline before exploding under front turret was the weirdest thing ever though..

Actually screen shots aside have been the beneficiary of this phenomenon in the last couple of days on 2 seperate occasions and the victim of the weirdest version once.... My Cruiser takes a torp clean into the rear and take no damage thing even explodes... My cambeltown took a full spread from Derzki none registered a hit but could see them all hit and disappear.. no explosions..... but the oddest one is still My Chapayev which dodged a swarm except one which hit the rear and then ran the entire length of my ship down the centreline then exploded directly under the front turret detonating the ship...... Replay? No but they have all happened.... only once each time mind but all have happened...

This above is however the major problem I have with this issue...... This is NOT what we are here to see, many teenagers play this game and soft porn (cartoon) like that above is in fact very offensive to some of us parents.... (reported)

Wow such differing opinions in this thread.... Apparently History Geeks think manga lovers are perverts and manga lovers think history geeks are sad.... I personally fall into the category of Bored.... Bored of the incessant childish whining from people who like to look at cartoons of pre pubescent girls, and also Bored of the constant whining of those that would happily knock one out on a technical Manual... So in response to you all...... Pfffffft !!!

Today we had both teams lined up with T7 Carrier, 5xDD, 5xBB and 1xCruiser..... oh and the BB were all 1xT9 and 4xT7 , CA was T8 and the DD were a mix of 8/9.... was the weirdest game in quite a while........

However....... the Grand Old Spiteful Lady.... who used to be my most played ship, has languished in Port for many months now - as the power creep from Newer Lines has broken her from the awesome thing that she once was. Also Newer Premium ships of similar type have better characteristics than WS, she now no longer has sufficient range/ Camo/ Turret Rotation to compete with the likes of Arizona etc... not to mention the endless max range HE spam from Russian Cruiser both Line and Premium... her suscepitibilty to fire is her massive achilles heel along with Non Citadel Penetrations from ALL angles, her inability to relocate on larger maps and her now ridiculously long turret rotation when compared to similar ships... maybe makes it about the right time for WG to revisit this (very expensive) Grand old lady of the game... come on guys the game has moved a long way since CBT but Warspite has not........

So SBF comes out of his smoke, within his spotting range, and is spotted.... MIRACLES ! How on earth do you play with those settings, no nice stuff on islands, no nice wave effects no shadows, 10FPS man I have an old Dell Laptop that plays the game better than your Pocket Calculator...... StarBuckFlying woke up today, looked in the mirror and had this to say..... "I am looking for someone to ADOPT me as his personal Retard. The lucky recipient will get all these prizes, at no additional cost: 1. I promise to crapin your shoes every night. 2. I promise to stuff as many flies in my nose as humanly possible. 3. I promise to follow you around the Supermarket...yelling VERY loudly..."wait up, wait up...you promised mum you wouldn't leave me again. Don't nail my head to the floor again...MUM ... MUM " 4. I promise to hide under your bed, until such time as you are playing Hide the Salami your girlfriend/boyfriend. When this event occurs, I shall dutifully stick my head out and say " HEY, THAT's NOT DADDY !" 5. I promise to play in traffic WHENEVER you tell me to. 6. I promise to follow you to the movie theatre, and when the commercials are over, i shall run to the front of the screen, start masturbating...and scream out "I love you <insert name here> ! "

And while they are at it can the Imperator PLEASE have its' old MM back..... so boring playing max T5....... much more fun screwing over Clevelands, Nurembergs and Fuso's than Kongo, New York Omaha etc.......

Been noticing that with my recent foray into Carriers..... 1 on 1 Ryojo v Ryojo no ships around... either I lose 3/4 in first impact or the enemy does.... very suspicious RNG effect maybe?

Another boring thread about boring stuff like in game currency...... play a few games at T5/6/7 and Robert is your Mothers Brother.....

we did much the same in a game with full support from friendly Carrier and a couple of cruisers 3 x T4 BB were able to push into and hold enemy cap.... watch it is quite funny as is the early chat from team about WTF BB middle..... our thinking was that as 3 x Low ranged BB against a horde of Kongo's there was no point in going out wide as we would just have been whittled down bit by bit before we could fire back... we made the decision to go Yolo informed the team and were well supported !

The only buff that battleships need in this game is better team mates who know when to push up in their little Cruisers when the BB is up front taking a tanking... or team mates BB's who sit back while you tank and then go into panic mode when the one at the front is dead... buff team mates..... brain cells are cheap (honest)

Well 20 is the theoritical maximum, but 18 is the realistic peak as the run from 18 to 19 is currently 10 Million XP and one can only assume if the pattern continues that the 20th would be 15million XP..... best I have so far is an 18 Pointer with 1.6Million towards the 19th skill point... gonna be quite a while until he reaches 19th...... 16 points is 231,000 17 points is roughly 300.000 18 is 369.000

May I suggest that we all go back and change our wording to " Large Steaming Piles of Cow Excrement".......... ?? Just to be in line with the thought police our Community Commissars Moderators.....

I clearly remember ST and youtubers stating 'with authority' that the Imperator Nickolai was a Steaming Pile of Cow Manure...... so much so that very few people bought it... and now it is by far 'percieved' to be the most OP ship in the game... so I for one wouldn't take any notice of anything these guys say about ships they are testing .......

Well, myself and a number of other people in our clan have been having the same issue with the port being very unresponsive... also I am aware that a % of general population have also been afflicted with the same issue.... so I looked at ways to try to fix it. Now, firstly, I am running a vanilla (mod free) build of WoWs as this has always been blamed as the culprit by those who do not suffer from this affliction also many have stated in the past that brand /type/age/drivers of graphics cards may have been the issue... so I decided to try a few little fixes...a combination of which appears to have worked (for me at least)... 1) Go to 'Res' folder find 'engine_config.xml' made these changes:- <cacheEffects>false</cacheEffects> to <cacheEffects>true</cacheEffects> <streamCacheSizeKB>2048</streamCacheSizeKB> to <streamCacheSizeKB>4096</streamCacheSizeKB> (or 8192 for systems with more than 16GB Ram) If you are going to change these settings, exit the game first if it's already running, back up your original file, make the changes, and give it a try. 2) reboot PC go into Bios and look for powerstate S1/S3/S5 etc..... most PC will ship with S3/S5 change this to S1... seems something within the port coding is allowing the CPU to throttle down and the lags 'may' be the effect of waking states each time. In my case instant fix of the issue no more 'sticky' port. Hope it helps! If not... oh well it worked for me anyway, just thought would share. Also just as an aside (running Win10) it appears that the game actually works better AND smoother... installed on a 2nd (older SSD) seperate from the OS... very very wierd this one and will take further investigating, but very noticable "SNAPINESS" when running alone on an old 240GB SSD...... Just for the record my system as follows: Gigabyte X58A-UD3R 12GB Crucial 1600DDR3 (triple channel) Xeon W3680 @4.47Ghtz AMD HD6970 System drive: SanDisk UltraII 240G (2016) Game drive: Sandisk UltraII 240G (2015) SoundCard: Asus Zonar DGX Refs: fix 1, Nato101 from NA forums (8/15)

Have had this conversation many times over... Couple of clan mates using GTX980 same issues.. so port lagging is unlikely to be an AMD specific issue...

Personally I believe that WG need to begin looking at [optional] optimisations away from the base spec for low spec PC's and give options to improve gameplay on 'meatier' builds..... Yes it was originally conceived as a method to smooth gameplay in WoT but has been forgotten due to optimisaions that have take place within THAT game... some of these thing ie the 'fullproc' command and the use of 'affinity' controls does also still improve WoWs..... so it is time now to trawl back to 2011/12 for some insight into improvements that 'may' be available.... If you remember back to Alpha days here are the minimum specs that the game was designed for... Minimal requirements:Windows XP, Vista, 7DirectX 9.0c or higherCPU: 2.2 GHz or higherRAM: from 2 GBGeForce 8600GT or ATI HD 2600 (shaders 3.0, 512Mb memory)Internet from 128 kb/s The game automatically restricts the cache at the top of OP due to there not being enough available memory for Windows, WoWs etc etc to run with 1/2 the RAM being taken as a cache... WG it is time to fix your game (ie make the auto detect settings more inclusive) for more 'modern' machines.....

Glad it also worked for you, been faffing with this for a a few days and yes it does appear to be a lot more stable, also as a side note have also noticed that the port seems to be not thrashing Graphics Card so hard now as well !

We just call them out as serial teamkillers and suggest that the enemy team do themselves a favour and kill them early ! Always good for TS lolz

Umm... No... Another pointless way to advertise your sooper stronk stats in forum... Or just a place for like minded morons to rub each other's epeen ....

I am not too sure if this is a joke reply or that you are really serious... Those around the corner shots are quite easy when you are proxy spotted and moving at full speed......

Oopsie moment from WG? In stronk communistic areas mistakes are the peasants fault !

Just an update, but the above two fixes are definitely secondary to the 2nd SSD.... is better even on single drive !
