Pingploter is used to trace the route between yourself and the WoWS server. It shows how many servers are used along the way. All pingplotter will do is identify the server that is causing problems. Have a look at this page: https://eu.wargaming.net/support/en/products/wows/category/25306/#category_25811 Under troubleshoot and reports there are two pages How to run https://eu.wargaming.net/support/en/products/wows/article/10252/ How to interpret https://eu.wargaming.net/support/en/products/wows/article/10617/ I don't think a VPN would help - unless for some reason somewhere along the way there was some software that restricted access from certain areas (like you can't gamble on containers in Belgium) I think all VPN does is pretend you're some other country than you're really in. The connection between your location and the destination remains the same. When I was in the UK there were several times that a server that belonged to BT was having issues. I did contact them and was told by an engineer that the problem was being fixed. Bit the next tie that happened i got put through to BT India - I was having an on-line conversation with them and they suggested turning off the home hub. When I asked if this would terminate the connection we had they told me "we know more about your account than you do"......

Running a pingplotter (?) should help to identify where things are going wrong - it should be able to identify which server along the way is the issue.

No, someone from WG phones them every few minutes and asks "Is it working yet"......

This was being discussed in this thread:

The first time I claimed compensation it indicated that I had been given the compensation but there was nothing delivered in-game. I claimed it a second time and then had the crate delivered.

Don't forget that you also get the slot in the dock - so not just credits.

It's a gamble to get one of the early access ships. Like any gambling it's up to the individual to decide if they are willing to gamble or not. I guess the odds of opening a bundle with a ship in it is unknown. Also, I think with RNG the more bundles you open does not increase the chance of unlocking a bundle with a ship in it = unless WG have added such mechanics. It's like drawing a card from a deck of cards in the hope of getting an Ace (or even worse a specific Ace). But after you've drawn your card it's put back in the deck.

Although I think a schedule of releases would be helpful for the players the ships can take a long time to 'balance'. I think I'd prefer to wait for a 'balanced' ship to be released rather than get something released before it's ready. I think a prime example may be the three Pan-Asian copy/paste/mangle ships that are, probably, going to be released this Friday (the Izumo, Charles Martell and Ognevoi clones).

I have him trained up on the Smolensk. I've been in some games where the 20% dispersion to enemy shots has kicked in and the result was "how did I survive that" then I realized what had happened. Keep in mind that the perks (? - the ones that are triggered rather than enhanced skills) don't work in clan battles.

I don't think there is such a thing......

It's not happening to me. I'm using a NVidia Geforce GTX 1050 Ti I play with the HD graphics and everything maxed out (graphic wise). I have 8X Antialaising and Texture filtering Anistropic 16X

The bit that I was interested in was when they were started and were there any collections prior to the ones that Egoleter posted - which several others have confirmed that they have the same list.

According to the WG Global WIki the collections have been available since 0.6.5 and it looks like there were no early collections missed in the list of the 18 that Egoleter posted. https://wiki.wargaming.net/en/Ship:Collections

I think if you are in smoke the only way you will spot the approaching ships are if someone else on the team can spot them (and your smoke screen has not prevented that from happening), they are firing and maybe on fire.

Exactly. There is nothing sadder (if they are on your team) to see a DD sit in smoke and stay there as enemy ships get closer and closer. Because you're smoked up there is a good chance that no-one can see the ships getting closer to you so you won't get any support. I try and use smoke for my team mates but also deploy it when I'm being chased down by multiple ships. If you're having problems with hydro I dread to see how you handle multiple radars on the enemy team. WG are making it easier by standardizing the range and duration of radars. CVs are a pain for a DD and a CV player can make your game a misery - at best you have to return to the AA bubble supplied by your own allies. I'm not sure what is going to happen when subs get introduced to the game as I fear the DD will be expected to hunt those down as well.

I think the ships from the previous releases also came with a permanent camo. There are two premium/permanent camos for each ship - I would have preferred the other one.

Read your post which I quoted - you asked the same question as the OP did. I could have replied to both of you.

I have both but you can't really compare them. The Friesland has very nice guns but the drawback is no torps at all. There are times when a BB is closing in on you that even one set of torps would be nice. She is a decent enough DD though and if you like daka-daka you may like it also.

I doubt it was the moderators (who moderate this forum) would make the change - that would be the developers.

I have the same list as Egoleter - I do have two greyed out ones but when I mouse over them it shows that they are 'unavailable in the current version'. I don't know if that means I've missed out on them or if they are future collections.....

There should be notification that you've got the rewards in the battle result screen. Also, when you return to the dock there should be a new menu on the left under the other bits that has 'rewards collected' which show what has been received and it shows which task they were for (once you click on that it will disappear). As AbashedLemming has posted there is a new counter for them in the armoury. I've received the 80 tokens for the directive and a further 20 for another task so far (I don't recall where the 20 came from).

I think that was in repsonse to MacArthur92's comment (post #6) that Alsain's mod pack had also not been updated. I used Aslain's modpack up until a month or two ago - I did wonder if that had the updates but I guess it does not. I think in the past some games when they do updates really mess up how mods work with them - this patch seems to be one of those updates.

I hope that they do update these mods - the Score Timer is very useful. Some mods have already been updated since the release so I think it's just a matter of time.

I love how at one stage the ship just 'pops out' of the water.
