WG's QA on the mark still (not).

Well, they do use spreadsheets.......

I saw one in a random battle today - so I presume they 'flashed the card'.

This issue was raised towards the end of last week (and probably before as well);

Not really worth it "decent and bland, but it's free":

I have 30 out of the 36 items with 25 duplicates - so either another five duplicates (I just got another one) or one non dupe.

When I click that the news item can disappear but when I go back to port the 'unread' shows 1 again. This doesn't happen all the time for me though - just every now and then.

I get some news items that won't go away occasionally and I do run Aslain's Modpack. I do every now and then get old missions that are showing up as 'active' which can be confusing if you've forgotten you did them and get disapointed when you don't earn them again. A log off/on or game restart usually resolved those ones.

I watched the video and there is nowhere in-game where any ribbons were shown for aircraft kills.

I agree with the 'no' group. If subs were added there would need to be chsnges to DDs to allow them to use asdic and drop depth charges. Also when submerged submarines move very slowly and need to use ambush tactics. Personally, I think they should be deployed around the map edges (and as static or extremely slow moving objects) as AI with 5km torps........

Not in Ireland either......

The player on-line counter is now hidden - if you press ESC (to exit the game) the number appears on the top of the screen. For me that's a silly way to see how many players are on-line - maybe WG thought that was one of the reasons for delays in the port screen?

There was a pop-up message on this forum saying they are aware that there are issues with servers. I can start the game but not get into battle. Peak game time as well the evening (same for a lot of people also).

More former Eastern Block countries 'creative accounting'? @Horin728 - do you have a replay of the battle?

I agree - you're spamming topics. I've also seen you post two or three replies in separate posts rather than doing a multi-quote single post. That is the definition of spamming. At least play the Izumo - it's been buffed in the not too distant past.

I think it must be your end or your IP.

But it's quicker to just quit the game..... Whenever the game has crashed or my PC crashed I've always been able to get back into battle well within the time limit. When there is a server problem I've not managed to do so - but I've never gone pink because of it. This is the only time that WG can tell the DC from the game wasn't down to the player. As there isn't a flood of complaints on the forum I can guess that there has been no general problem.

At the moment I only have one USA BB captain and they are still in the NC (it took me ages to grind through the Colorado as I found her too slow). When I get sufficient XP I will train up another captain for the Mass. Until then I still have my German BBs and the Bismark commander has 19 points (I have the Scharnhorst and Tirpitz to help there) and is specced for a secondary build.

I may be lucky but I'm not affected by this - slow UI in port but not much else - although when I mouse over the enemy DDs in the team list prior to the battle starting the overall detection advantage changes at times.

Don't forget that some commanders such as Doe (USA) and Dunkirk (British) have special abilities which make them very useful on the right ship (they are identifiable by the yellow/red strips on the bottom right hand corner of the image and when you look at the skills they have the once that are enhanced have a green box on the top left hand side of the skill). I don't think the Azur Lane line gives anything like that.

Former Eastern Block 'creative accounting' in practice?

It's probably the closest thing to it but as it's another premium there is no need to specialize the captain for either ship. There have been some rumours about a second USA BB line that is more about brawling and getting close (although that may just be someone's wishes) - it that ever happens then there are some silver ships that would be ideal. I just use my NC captain (my highest tier silver USA BB) on the Massechusets

The only time that it really matters if you haven't got the flags and camo is CB or KoTS and maybe ranked. I think someone in our clan went into a CB battle with a 0 point captain at some stage - they noticed and then everyone made fun of them (I recall in WoT it was possible to go into battle with no ammo at one stage - if you didn't automatically replenish).

Have you activated the mission? I think it's one of those that you need to do that to participate in. I was thinking the other day that the Germans can only fly a single flag (along with the French, Italians, Pan-Asian, Pan-American and Polish) while the rest can (Japan, USA, Russia, Britain and Commonwealth).

The only thing with nicknames is that some other players could start trolling them - I'm not sure if you can send PMs on this forum. I have heard of players being restricted to co-op in the past but have no personal experience of that. I presume that may be based on the total number of games played. Mind you if a player is going to do silly things in randoms why stop there?
