I don't think co-op would have the better player base and I doubt that most people would claim that. You get less rewards and the enemy team don't grief you (except that the BoTS all seem to be running RL/RPF) and can hunt down a DD that's gone dark for a minute or so. I've been on teams in co-op where the team has been spanked by BoTS.......

I don't think you do - the only thing you get by finishing the tasks is the reward for each task. I guess if you've completed all the campaigns it's a matter of selecting the missing tasks - although with all the other events etc I think I'd just concentrate on the other events.

Thanks for that. I guess at least they will have a co-ordinated team for that then.

I had my Blys captain up to 14 points before the Friesland was released. A combination of playing both and some elite XP (Having numerous 19 pointers helps there) meant that I now have a 19 point captain for the new DDs. If I unlock the new captain I guess I'll just re-do the grind again for captain XP.

As others have already posted if you think a mission is not possible just re-do one that you can do. Yes, you won't get the rewards for the task but you will get the star or stars from the task. I completed the campaign yesterday playing co-op just going for the credits or XP missions from part-way though the second set of tasks.

Thanks - I think I claimed these already and clicking the link proved that.

I presume you did check the emails for the email account that is associated with the WoWS account?

A worthy first post on the forum?

As others have said - the ship needs to be in port in order to get the premium version. I'm fairly sure that is the way it's worked before. I can't see that WG would ever give away a freebie just because it's unlocked. If you may be interested in a premium version it shouldn;t be that hard to get the credits to buy the ship back. Also, the Kirov (T5) will become a premium as well. OK, it's only T5 but it will be another ship you can use without having to have a commander trained up as the captsin.

cough cough I'm not an English teacher.

Another "diddn-do-nuffing" chat ban thread. As has been pointed out you can always raise a ticket with WG but I honestly doubt that will do you any good unless it's a long chat ban.

Only when there are no CVs surely? There are very few ships out there with 'no AA'.

I was in the WoWS beta - I was playing WoT at the time. I don't recall if I tried to get into the WoWS alpha or not. I think sometimes you could apply to partake but it was up to WG to decide who did or not. It could have just been done on numbers or some other critera. At one point I was a super tester on the EU server for WoT. There were some leaks form the RU server so WG restricted supertesting to the RU server. I'm sure there is some logic there somewhere.

If the player has premium ships in the port even if they are obvious bots then WG is not likely to ban them (even if that just results in the player re-buying the ships with a different accounts).

Yes, I rather foolishly posted here after seeing the title of the thread you posted. I've read it since then. If they put the operation back in it's broken state at least leave the rewards alone until it's fixed (not that I think the rewards should be nerfed in the first place).

Maybe if WG returned this operation without the AI pathfinding bug they should at least leave the rewards unchanged until it actually runs properly.

I'd say there are better cruisers for operations - ideally ones with a higher rate of fire. However, as has already been mentioned in this thread I'd be wary of spending money or dubloons for any ship specifically for operations. WG don't really support these - in fact they seem to be trying to make them less attractive which will then match their stated 'operations are not popular with the player base'. They removed a number of operations for the carrier rework - while some have returned others (Cherry Blossum and the Dunkirk based one have yet to return). It also appears that Aegis will return with lower rewards (it's only been out for a short period due to the AI pathfinding bug). There are a few threads on operations to have a look at; https://forum.worldofwarships.eu/topic/132663-narai-will-return-in-093-but-the-bxp-payout-has-been-neutered/

What you don't realize is that the Izmail uses advanced Soviet technology and always has an invisible droid up at all times (yes, I realize there was, probably, no such thing as a droid at the time)...........

I don't agree with the removal of the map. It's certainly not my favorite map but players need to have a mixture of maps that do'n't always suit the ship type or gameplay. Why don't we ban all maps where there is an island within 6kms of a cap as that allows radar equipped ships to be in hard cover but are able to detect the DDs that are trying to cap? No, I don't think that is ever going to happen either.

Personally, I usually sell tech tree ships once I've finished the grind. I may hang onto some like the Bismark but I've been grinding her part-time and I have the Tirpitz anyway. I tend to have enough premiums to cover operations but with WGs attitude towards operations that may no longer be required. If you don't have any premiums you can always hang onto some tech tree ships either as crew trainers or to get some credits. If you are short of credits check the Inventory (click on your name in the base and select it from the drop down menu. There may be unused equipment on the silver ships in there - don't sell anything else though as you may want to use them.

A lot will depend on how ad where you work. I work in IT as a contractor in Ireland. A few weeks ago I asked to be able to work from home (at some stage) with the likelyhood that if I did not have that I would not be working. On Monday last week the ones left in the office, including myself, were told to go home at noon and not return for a while. I've been able to work remotely since last Friday. I guess I am lucky in that I can continue to work I feel for those who may be losing income.

If successful operations don't reward the players more than a win in co-op (Is that really going to happen?) then WG has finally killed off operations. WG have been saying that operations are not popular with players for a long time - I guess they really really want that to happen (removing operations and then nerfing the rewards for doing them).

Thanks for posting the code. It worked for me about 10 minutes ago.

At least you bought a ship that can be enjoyed outside of operations. The Scharnhorst is a decent ship and fun to play.

There must be a WG team that sits around a table and comes up with ways to reduce the number of players doing operations (just to 'prove' they aren't popular). They've tried removing a lot of them, putting bugs into the AI pathfinding and now they are nerfing the rewards (and that is after they've released the first 2M FXP ship - the irony is palatable).....
