Well, considering two facts: 1. Just read most of the post by anti-mod crowd, both in this thread and in every one that came before. 2. Lots of people, including developers do catch the difference between mod, cheat and hack and this was also expressed in said threads. I can safely say that the anti mods don't know the difference and don't even want to know. Hell, if they are sunk in battle, it's obvious it was cheat, right? It's not as their opponent have some skill or they havent. Surely cheat. Next come the cheat=mod equation, also without even slightest effort to actually check what they are writing here. Next in line are knee-jerk reactions and hate, sometimes, as seen a little above, combined with some lower forms of emotional activity like bigotry. But, back to the topic. If Tsukotaku or OVanBruce have any PROOF of working aim mod, gold hack, nuke shooter or whatever mod, cheat or hack that would go against the game rules, they should immediately report said proof to the support. Because writing about "people use it all the time" without the proof is nothing good, and it's fuelling the mob even more. And as i said before, the aim mod case unleashed such distasteful flood of stupidity, rage and several more of the low emotions on this forum (and even few normally reasonable people also joined in this foolishness), that trying to revive that by gossip is... counter-productive i would say. Next. So, do that scam offer real stuff or not? Lot of people (me included) see that as pure scam. No one checked and live to tell the tale though. Do the devs are interested at all in checking such things? They should be. Hah, Freud would be proud. You expect something constructive? 17 pages and only thing they manage to throw is "level the playing field". After that was disproved, not that it particularly needed disproving, because this game having "level playing field" would be probably chess or something, instead it is striving, better or worse to achieve balance, which is way better for MP game; they reduced themselves to pure emotion driver rants. Oh well, still waiting for some arguments against crosshairs, camos, skins, historical flags and even MLP, other than "i don't like it, therefore you should also not like it". PS. I dont know nothing about MLP (other than being source of fairly amusing memes), because it don't interest me. I also don't like Kancolle, because i think the idea and the characters overall concept are wretched acid-induced blasphemy against maritime traditions, literature and aestethics. But forbidding others to like them? Unconcievable.

So it's not only ignorance. It's precisely bigotry and ill will in pure form - you don't like something, hence you would ban it. How dare they commit such heinous thoughtcrime as having different likings than you. While enlightened about this fact, reply with tantrum. QED.

Since they were castrated from their intended (i guess from earlier WG articles) long range fire capabilities, thats total truth. Would be ok as long as they would globally buffed all BB's turret traverse, that's currently most unfun thing for me.

Widziałem Mikasę w akcji kilka razy. Dokładnie 5. Celność dział głównych jest tragiczna. Chyba że wszyscy z tych 5 byli totalnymi pomidorami, ale raczej wątpię, bo pociski z jednej wieży często robiły szpagat pod kątami nawet do parudziesięciu stopni od siebie. Natomiast nawet bycie najgorszym pomidorem na świecie nie miałoby wpływu na celność artylerii pomocniczej. A ta jest też dziadowska. Strzela, strzela, zionie ogniem, pociski fruwają... bardzo rzadko trafiając. Ogólnie szkoda, zwłaszcza że od zawsze chciałem predreadnoughty zobaczyć w grze. No ale jeszcze może nie wszystko stracone. Najbardziej czekam na Potiomkina, pewnie będzie mikromausem WoWsa Podwójna szkoda, zważywszy na wyjątkowo nieatrakcyjną sprzedaż wiązaną. Btw. Podobno bazowy koszt Mikasy to 2000 golda. Nawet nie skomentuję. EDIT: To samo co Abraham, tiery III skutecznie leczą z jakichkolwiek chęci posiadania Mikasy.

Oh God, i'm at total loss of words at this levels of ill will, bigotry and (or) ignorance... Fact: whatever skins and other graphical mods people install on their client, you won't see them at all.

Is you having -27 and being bothered with this fact have some influence on starting this topic?

This is what we should definively point out. This crap is at large since the pharaohs scared the ignorant masses with the eclipse... Its not surprising it's also highly desirable to some individuals here. That. Previous aim mod was sucessfully eradicated. Getting even more severe measures NOW, when nothing like this is reported and there are no problems whatsoever with mods (even the most harcore anti-mod obscurants are not currently whining about anything) is puzzling, to speak it mildly. Do that means those scam paysites are actually offering real stuff? Do the tinfoil hats are right? What do the WG knows what we dont? Or that is just typical hammering the sticking nail as often seen in some naturally oppressive type of people? Yea, can do nothing else. Though WG handling of WoWs taught me that the "hope" is slim and the "best" is not very different from the "bad".

Wat

1. Was discussed in WoT already. Not happening though. 2. Was discussed here alredy since very beginning of this forum. Promised to various extent few times. Alas, apparently also not happening (shame, shame, shame on you WG). EDIT: in Gamescon Q&A they again confirmed something is being worked in this department. Better it would be more than overpiced butt-ugly camos or minuscule letters no one will even notice. Unfortunately for us, WG have different idea of business model. Why settle for very successful model like in LoL, while you can gett all that for cosmetics and ALSO at the same time slap ridiculous repair bills to force players into buing premium accounts, not even mentioning sudden and huge rise of premium vehicles prices comparing to other 2 games on supposedly linked account.

Thing is, we would never even have balance with classes. It could get worse or better, but it won't be perfect. Never. Not to mention flags, gold consumables - while the boost is not very significant, it is here. Now try to explain to captain of Furutaka that his lose to an Omaha was due to crosshair mod. Or the curse of that awful JMSDF flag mod he use... And while i never said anything about aim mod (except trying to reason with the frenzied mob that it's not hack or cheat, good luck with that...) now it's just getting ridiculous. Tuccy - what about not giving to forum whine? Or you just listen to crazy crowds? They don't even have any argument except that one about the "level playing field" which is disproved by nature of the game itself.

Making this game totally unmodable would be not only stupid. Worse, it would be a mistake. Flushing a baby with the bathwater, back to 90' and so on. Needing official approval for the mods is not much better. Anime mods, crosshairs, textures and so on, how would they be made? Some official mod tools will be available? Datamining encrypted files? How? And historic mods? Approved mods basically means that WG cannot any more said "we are not responsible". They will be, if that would be implemented. That means even more of the old bog that was customarily avoided by mods. And you know what is way worse than even obvious cheats (not to even mention mere aim mod)? Censorship. And about "ban all mods" crowd... I wont even write about them, as im not fluent in english enough. Alas, there are always lots of people that croak with joy at the sight of their (already not big in this case) liberties being stripped. And those are not free, along with them come risk. Big or small, it doesn't matter, principle is the same. Anyway, this is kinda moot anyway, now we don't know if it's truth and if yes, to what extend it would be implemented, and later it would be too late whatever happens. Sad to see this great game going deeper and deeper into the pit with every month. Economy, prices, balance, now even mods. It just like they would want to kill their own game. Petition: Please remove all flags and symbols from the game. It's offensive. For someone. Surely.

As much as i love battleships, they don't need buff against cruisers. At least not direct buff. However: 1. They need to have slight buff against everything: - Less RNG in hitting targets, as it was said 10000 times already, its giant lottery, especially compared to cruisers steady damage output.\ - More range for secondaries and especially buff (preferably to 0.3.1 levels) their accuracy. Right now it's so underwhelming that basically can be totally ignored in calculations and predictions. And BB player need to do much of that. 2. HE and fire mechanics need to be nerfed a bit. That would benefit cruisers and DD too, DD killed by burning is very sad sight. Also, AP shells would be used a bit more by those classes, which i dont see often now. HE spam reigns supreme, even if it is stupid (Omaha duels and so on).

You should play it. Maybe not from start till end, but research and mount everything, then give it at least few more battles. Who know what knowledge and experience you will get. You can always skip it later. Though as for myself, i already prepared the flags. lots of them

Stats actually say all what you need to know: speed and gun range.

Got that Albany. Still crappy ship, but cute eye-candy, even if only for watching. Free premium vehicle is the best gift possible so i'm backing everything. Sorry and thanks.

How dare they. Expecting to get the same treatment like in two other games published by the same company. Simply incredible. Sodom and Gommorah.

As Sander said, allegedly it's 4 km. So basically only ships that would be indirectly nerfed by this are, again, US DD, but only low level ones. Plus usual desperados, but they deserve whatever are coming at them.

May be the echo from gigantic nefhammer blast hitting the BB in 0.4.0, but in 0.4.0.4 there was nothing changed.

TBH that 0,5 bonus, while slightly insulting, is still better than contests. At least 99% of the people can get something from it.

Well, it is weird sometimes. Often i have very bad battle, like everything is going down on me - no citadels, weird misses, RNG wrath directed straight at me. It happens. Yet when i look on the results i see that my overwhelming 20-30k damage still was enough to get me in the top three of my team. With the bottom half having like 50-300 xp. And it isn't even a short battle. Come on, how the hell anyone can fight (not run or go afk or die in yolo charge in 3rd minute) for 10-15 minutes and do almost nothing? Not only that, how it is even possible that half of the team can do this kinda crap?

1. I know we shouldn't [edited] and whine about gifts, but in many cultures some gifts that are misplaced, out of meaning, out of context or grossly inadequate are often treated as insults. 2. "These offers" suggest two things at least? 3. WoWs is already being treated as cash grab, with F2P factor somwhat diminished comparing to WoT and WoWp (credits gain, modules and components price, gold value, premium ship prices). This isn't helping, it's basically old Scrooge giving Cratchit his day off in Cristmas... 4. There were much better events in CBT, and those were still way below anything in WoT. WoWp had really good events, offers and promos in OBT. It's like you perhaps don't want to lure new players in this way. Every known online game publisher come often with various schemes for both new and old players. Heck, even YOU do, as the WZ-111 quest in WoT gave me lots of fun (even though i don't like that tank and i earn more credits on Tog ). Not in WoWs though. Is there some particular reason for this?

That's not close range. That is "RAMMING SPEED!!! WAAAAAAGH!!!" big red button on the Ork control panel. Well, it could work against the overzealous DD's (cough USN cough max tier 4) Better than nothin, but it's still like treating syphillis with powder.

That. If we had realistic gameplay on current maps, BB would be absolutely owning everything. If we had realism on realistic maps (like 1000x1000km), CV would own anything (more than now that is), but the battle would took 10 hours.

That's kinda funny how lots of people say "Don't sail in straight lines!". But, if everyone stopped doing it (not even plausible in shitwrecks like New York anyway), they would immediately change their tune to: "buff torps plox, we can't hit unless they have 500 knots speed". So, by all means, DO sail in straight lines, it's important part of the game balance!
