This was suggested numerous times in WoT all that happened was at the end of the game the damage was shown not during the battle.

Don't forget that Cruisers can also launch a small number of torpedoes. As far as avoiding torpedoes there are times that I 'acquire' them so late I can't avoid them - they don't even appear from a smoke screen and I don't think they are always dropped by planes either.

With WoT to qualify for the beta gift tank you had to have a certain number of battles from a set date. What happened is that some players who had been active for a long time missed out because they did not continue 'testing'.

I would presume that like WoT wargaming will eventually introduce skins you pay gold for.

At least with this happening you can try out some premiums during the closed beta test and not re-purchase them after the wipe if you don't like them or the play style associates with that class. Of course that does mean you need to buy sufficient gold to try out the ships you want to, Maybe more wipes would be the ideal for that but then some players will lose their progress (yes, I know that all captains experience will be lost with the wipe).

I went back and bought the St Louis while I've played the Cleveland. In the right game it can be a monster with it's firepower. The downside is that in higher tier games it's slow and out ranged.

If the forum had a section for ship discussion then the number of thread may be reduced but I'm sure that people would still post ship discussion threads here anyway....

OK, thanks for that it was a very long time ago and my memory at the moment is like a goldfish..... +1

I was going to mention that.... Game starts and the troll fires off torpedoes and takes out a few allies and then says 'sorry,lag'....... (had that in WoT)

When I was in the closed beta (December 2010) for WoT there wasn't any gold given out to test things. I believe we bought gold with real money and used that to buy premiums. At the end of the testing the vehicles were wiped and the gold was put back into our accounts. For a long time the highest premiums were tier 5 although I think the KV-5 and Lowe appeared late in the beta but that just seems a long time ago. So, that meant we did not have to find a lot of money to get premiums for a while at least. The only time gold was given out was on the test server and what happens there stayed there - so the gold was virtual and did not end up in any player's main accounts (test accounts were created from the main accounts with some backdating). On the test server they also give huge amounts of free XP so most players can unlock and test tier 10 vehicles from the first time they use the test server. I would presume that there is no gold given out in the closed beta of WoWS for players to try out the premium ships is that if the player does not want to buy gold now then they may not buy gold in the future. However, if gold were given out in the closed beta it would be taken back at the end of the testing. I would guess if they did this they may get more players buying gold when the game is released!

Conz, on 29 April 2015 - 04:06 PM, said: I was pretty certain and accused the whole enemy team of using aimbot during a co-op today but nobody cared So, the AI was using an Aim Assist Mod? Did you get any response from the enemy team (now that would be scary)?

I've yet to see any hostility towards any team mates who play CVs but clearly there are some out there. I've seen players go back and cover the CVs when ships slip through the lines (I do this if I'm around) and warn them about the flank they are on being exposed either because that flank fell or the almost standard lemming train. There may be some abuse directed at the enemy CVs but I've never seen it get any more than swearing at them for having concentrated one one ship.

Premium vehicles in WoT are usually not better than the equivalent non premium vehicle at the same tier. I would assume that this will be true in WoWS. What you do get is a way to train crews and in the case of WoWS captains and also get a credit earner. Do you think spending money should give you an advantage over those that don't? It's the beta anyway and anything can happen with game balance.

Well, when you signed up for the beta you knew that this was going to happen. I would say that this approach has been used before by other games and not just WoT. While you go need to grind the game again to get to the same place at least you've had the chance to test the game, try out any premiums and at the end of the test get the gold back. There is no reason for people who have started with this game in the alpha or closed beta before you should have an advantage over you in that they have better captains etc.

I would imagine that you would have to wait until the end of the closed beta test when everything will be reset - so any gold you spend will be returned (if you wanted to repurchase any premium ships then you have the gold to do so).

Warspite is now in my harbour (this is someone else's from another game)

That is correct - I just did that and now have a Warspite in my harbour.

Just had a battle and there were a couple of Waspites on each team. I presume that means the ship is now in the shop although I did look there an hour ago and did not see it - the portal appears to be down for maintenance at the moment.

Yes, there is nothing worse than trying to fight a similar tiered ship in the same class that has better range than you do. If the slow speed is confirmed it makes it even harder as the enemy will be able to maintain the distance easily.

It may be available soon but is it any good?

I realize that there has been a lot of talk about the next patch preventing the aim assist mod from working but does anyone really know that if these changes will prevent the mod from working? From what I read in the notes Wargaming are working towards securing their scripts and this could take many interations to do so.

Well, if games were longer then there would be some that would be drawn out too long especially if the last enemy ship was fast and stealthy. I've yet to play any ships over tier 6 but there are some that are very slow (St Louis).

As imply_tha_best has posted. Each division gets it's own unique number.

Surely, if you manoeuvre then even an aim assist won't help? I know some ships handle like the proverbial brick though which makes this difficult. Although as some have posted it can show the 'centre' for which to aim for.

There are channels there - 'Battle Results and Discussion' and 'Off Topic' discussion (amongst others) and the off topic works OK - I could post in it,
