    Santa containers. EU as USually...

    If you want a ship, buy a ship, not a container.

    Aaaand we have another succer trap for the weak, even if I think the chances of that being true are pretty high.

    I think you need to play them once to register there.

    X for doubt. I see no crates in these screenshots. It's a golden user ad egg for WG even if it's true. I wonder how many people will now buy 20 crates only to find out this was either a lie or a fluke of chance and only end up with 1 guaranteed 15th crate ship that they didn't even want. Just remember, this is a gambling company, not a gaming company. The house always wins. 'You've got to ask yourself one question: Do you feel lucky? Well do you, punk?'

    Dockyard Schrode worth to buy at 5000 dblns?

    Dockyard main ships rewards I skipped so far: All of them
  6. Most people go TLDR on their articles and descriptions, which is expected and preferred behavior by design. Dont feel bad.

    Thank you WG for this pleasant gaming experience

    Thats pretty weird, because it is not the same at all. Playing to grind tokens to purchase loot and lootboxes is nothing like raiding servers for other players loot. That's actually core pvp, no matter what you morally make of it. The token grinds dont need pvp, it is shoehorned into shooter pvp games as a revenue model. We are drifting off. Lets not continue reaching.

    I'm not talking about griefers. Didn't realise we were moving goalposts. We were talking about people that simply don't care. I'm referring to 'players' that are actually just hoarders, shoppers and gamblers, which can't be bothered to put much effort into the arena pvp part of a game. They don't care about wits, strategy or kills, but credits, tokens and 'stuff'. It's a hoarding syndrome that was born when rpg hoarding and gambling merged into pvp titles as a revenue model. WOWS is a massively challanged game in that regard, and it's due to it's design around a mobile game revenue model. Every game gets the audience it deserves.

    Shikishima or Bourgogne for steel

    Your post reads as if you already decided for the Shikishima and just want some confirmation. I'd say go for Bourgogne instead. Coop are fast games, use faster playing ships.

    Ofcoarse. Everwhere @ games that are designed for consumers hoarding and gambling. And most AAA MP games are these days. When I was looking for a new MP game to replace this one, one of my criteria was: it should not be listed on Amazon's Prime Gaming Free Ingame Content pages, because that means lootcrate infestation, a full blown ingame marketing circus and other hoarders 'collector' crap. Good luck finding a MP game that's not centred it's business model around free 2 p(l)ay hoarding nonsense.

    WG created a game where people stopped caring. Yup.
  12. The introduction of the battlepass for me was successful, a win win. I initially planned to stop playing after knocking off the celebration stars, as I usually do. I had 2500 gold laying about collected from playing, and the ship was incentive enough to go for it. I actually had fun. Playing with clanmates always is. I got the ship, and its nice. I like it. Great reward. Fast forward to next BP season. Won't do it again probably. Why? We already have snowflakes, more then enough rewards to tick the hoarding button. But mainly the eery feeling that the data collected so far will be used to make the grind worse and the rewards harder to obtain and/or less interesting. Making it almost mandatory to buy the biggest battle pack in order to play normal instead of insano mode, and only to get some tokens to get some frikkin crates to get some gambling on. Which I will not. I decided 3 years ago that my money goes to better games, art and music gear. This title is only worth playing for free, if at all.

    research points

    You reset a line (can be found under T10's that you finished grinding). When you reset all the ship in that line will be reset XP wise and sold for half price. YOu then replay that line or use FXp to speed through. With every new tier unlock as from tier 5 the unlocked ship will have a RP icon, a variation on the snowflake principle. Winning your first match in a ship with the RP icon will reward you the RP alotted to that tier. Each season you get to reset for double points. You can read the rest at the article mentioned above. EDIT: a reset is performed on a single line. Not both branches.

    [Poll] How would you rebalance CVs Post Nerfs?

    Exactly and still missing the actual point I see lol. It's a broken survey about a broken class ^^ Cést drôle. Except it's a dutch drol.

    [Poll] How would you rebalance CVs Post Nerfs?

    And yet you demand a buff option in question 2. Can't submit with a buff selected. See how your poll fails much like Lesta designed carriers
  16. Watching this makes my brain go: 'Squadrons bombed in square shaped drop patterns back in the day?' Especially when looking at the Tromp bomb drops it looks like the planes actually forcefully pewp bombs instead of dropping them. I've not seen a company fail this hard at immersion of war machines. They turned bombers into weird little fart cubes.

    [Poll] How would you rebalance CVs Post Nerfs?

    There isa 'no buff needed' option missing in question 2. Didn't submit. Poll failure in an unsurpisingly simular way Lesta failed to create fun carrier gameplay 3 years ago. 'Must succeed' option makes honest weighing of gameplay impossible.

    Is playing ranked like this immoral

    Sounds like an old lady min maxing collecting coupons. Stop playing something you apparantly want to get over and done with.

    Tactical advice

    French DD's are late cappers. Ignore the armchair generals, 100%.
  20. Mad_Dog_Dante

    Tactical advice

    This. Depending on the ship (long range HE spammers, long range BB kiting, low conceilment torp DD, sub or even a carrier) there's a good chance that if you can temporaily halt or slow down an enemy push for quite some time while being in the minority, the other flank (which your team automatically has the upper hand) can take and push the other flank. Once that happens you can turn and follow suit in pushing the enemy strong flank by making sure you are the (now) cross fire flank. Depending on the ship type, you can do it alone even, but it's usually better to have one or two teammates with you that understands the situation and does the same. But you have to make sure (read) that they understand the situation correctly. Also, the majority flank on your team can fail.
  21. Mad_Dog_Dante

    Tactical advice

    Depending on the ship you sail, you need to read your teammates early on to assess their possible actions or lack there of, and more importantly, take those readings seriously and act accordingly. Avoid wishfull thinking, and commiting to a plan of your own too early on. Be ready to change your set path according to what your teammates are doing in the first 5 minutes of the match. You can't change your teammates. You can only change what you do. And even then, like last night for me, you will still lose, lose and lose, because even when holding your own on a flank, the other flank can collapse and you're left with nothing other then the top 3 position on the losing team roster.

    When will ranked change

    I've played T5 only and the kami and Cesare 'spam' is not bad actually. Think it's fine, T5. I dont like everything to beT10. I've played Murmansk almost all games. 70-ish% WR i think as of late?

    Account

    Because people who can only afford to buy or build slow PC's instead of fast PC's can obviously afford an overpriced fast macintosh lol. It sounds like a Gforce Now streaming(server) issue. From what I understand running a normal client can be done even on your own low specs machines quite decently. Use low quality settings. I'm not sure how the login and account is handled through Geforce now though.

    General CV related discussions.

    You making a solid case that your performance is due to ship characteristics and not your skill level?
