I've only played a handful of battles in T8s and although the sample is too small I don't see any change yet. I've mostly been in T9 or TX battles where there is only one T8 per team. Not so bad in a DD but less fun in a cruiser or BB.

The original wording wasn't very good. There has been clarification in the forum but I think it's been reworded in the missions itself - although I've not checked it. There has been a couple of threads on this on the forum. I think this one could be useful:

You do realize that the blacklist does not mean you will not meet these players in-game again? It just stops them from sending you messages either in-game or in chat.

I only kept WoT installed for a period in order to use up the gold I had on that account on premium time (which at least was shared between WoT and WoWS). I have no intention of installing it again. But thanks for the heads-up.

I think it had to be clarified as WG can't explain things so players can understand and they all fail as no-one did a QA (quality assurance) on the announcement. This thread may help:

Yes. It;s a 10 x 250 gold mission that can only be played in the non Black version of the ship.

I just had a battle in my Ashashro B (from a container) and as stated a mission has appeared for my Asashio.

I think these offers appear most years and it's yet to tempt me. I've got the ships I want already (and it's too many).

You're just avoiding the points that I made. So, try harder troll - I'm just going to ignore you as it's not worth any effort.

Is that not based on #battles and what's been achieved in those battles?

Since you hide your stats how are we supposed to guess the level of progress you've made (#battles etc)?

The Cossack is a good credit earner and helps to level captains or Elite Commander XP.

Look on the bright side - it could have been a Krasny Krym.....

Surely, you mean "maximized BB trolling"...... (Yes, I am expecting a "don't call me Shirley" response.)

When the RN DDs were first available I put the cheapest camo I had on the T5 one - it just just concealment then I changed it to concealment and enemy shell dispersion (and I'd been thinking of selling those camos....

I used to use XVM when playing WoT bot only to defend myself against 'keyboard warriors' that claimed to be great players but turned out to be clueless. While the stats may show that the team you're on is going to loase badly that wasn't always the case. I was on teams that had under 20% chance to win yet we somehow managed to ROFL stomp the other side.

There have been a number of bonus codes available in the last few months - Steam containers, premium for 24 hours and flags and other consumables. Most of these have been posted here in the forum sometimes along with a link to the original news item.

I find that WoWS is a game that I need to take regular breaks from - either a few days at a time or longer. With all the missions etc it comes down to players having to decide which events they want to persue. Sometimes this will mean that players will have to abandon some progress towards some of the missions. At the moment I'm still doing the RN missions to unlock the Cossack (even though I did buy her already) as I'd like to get the dubloons for her (dubloons are always welcome). The one good thing with the Cossack grind is that most parts can be achieved through normal game play and does not need players to change how they play.

I had a battle on Ocean a few weeks ago and my thougths were "I didn't realize this map was still in rotation"......

I've only played a low number of co-op games (when I first started and a few times with new ships (Musashi comes to mind)). The problem with co-op is that the rewards compared to randoms is simply not there. The challenge of playing other people(?) gives better rewards and those players can be more unpredictable than BoTS. Co-op may give you experience of your ships but it can lead to game play that won't work in randoms. Although I've been playing the Halloween operations with the subs I miss the usual 'operation of the week' as that was allowing me to play some ships that I don't play that often (cruisers in some of them). I understand why there is only one scenario open at a time to non-division play as the game does not have the numbers of players to open them up. I didn't play any of the arms race games but I will have a look at them when they re-appear. After most of the battles in Epicentre mode I'd like that removed but it does give variety at least. Maybe if there was a co-op mode where there were more enemies than players - maybe 50% more? I'm sure that even then some players would be in ships that would not get a chance to see much action though.

LOL

Not everyone who wanted it managed to get the Missouri before it was removed from the shop. I do have it in my dock though.

How come you don't have a beta tester tag then? While fire can be a pain to deal with there are ways to deal with it. There are commander skills and flags that can mitigate the damage taken and how fast you can recover HPs (if you have heal of course).

As others have already posted there is already something in-game that gives new players 'protection' for a certain period in time (from what I can tell you have protected MM until T4). I'm not sure if that protects players against 'seal clubbers' who put a 19 point captain on a T3 ship though. At some point you need to start playing against other players of all skill levels - otherwise you're not being challenged which should help the learning process.. With only 467 battles I presume the OP is still learning the game. If you think T6 is tough wait until T8 when you seem to be in TX games more often than not. Numbers of battles does not mean that the player is highly skilled though - it could mean they have higher skilled captains though.

OK, I took both the Warspite and Gallant and got dubloons. I bought 20+ containers and then more after that. I'm now on 0 Sovereigns :)
