Never ever ever ever spend 175k coal on a captain as long as ships like Smolensk are priced at 183k coal while using a coupon... Apart from that decide yourself if you play TX or TIX more, both are decent ships. Usually TX is better in regards to XP gain, however the meta is even worse than on TIX. My decicion process usually revolves around TX ships for clan battles vs. TIX ships to have something to play along when some of my friends try to grind a TIX silver ship.

The question is what happens to the current missions you might already be half way in? I have like 20+ legendary upgrade missions open and completion status is somewhere in between 10% and 85%. Will players lose their progress once the upgrades move to the RB?

WG be like:

Well the point is that all the small and good things that come with the patch (free crates, snowflakes and many more) are wholly and throroughly overshadowed by the one feature that ought to be their really big thing for this patch, aka the dockyard. Where expectations unrealistically high? Probably. Did WG do a good job in communicating the event? No, certainly not. Will they ever learn from their mistakes? Nobody knows. But to be honest I don't care much and so should you (speaking to all of you). The only advise I can give is to fully ignore the dockyard / PR and enjoy the rest of the goodies WG is indeed providing for free. So what did it cost WG? Unknown, however I can image that creating content that the majority of the playerbase is, can and will not be interested in at all can't be healthy for any game.

Sounds a bit strange to design and make an event that is only aimed at 1% of the player base. I wonder what their return on investment will be on this one considering somebody had to make and promote the event. What they already achieved is devastating customer feedback by the "left-out" 99% of the player base and they have possibly/potentially also created some legal issues because many of the doubloons spend on expanding the dockyard may be lost without effect.

No

Able to log in but kicked out of queue 2 times in a row just now.

Yeah, some off the math seems a little off, however the increase in most categories is outrageous...

Why? Just park your DD alongside one of the CVs and use your 20km torps...

Well, the thing is if one CV (usually the enemy one) is especially good at finding, spotting and killing DD's and adding strikes where it really hurts and the other one (yours) is farming damage on lone enemy captial ships I reserve every right to blame the loss on the CV...

Every time I hear Zeppelin B: Yes, I am this old....

Sweden is comming to WoWs? Oh boy...

How about using slow firing cruisers with 203mm guns? Plenty of those in tier VI and VII and not even affected by this changes. But no, people just want to use their 152-155mm firebreathers... P.S.: Yes, I know that this is a nerf to CL's and subsequently a buff to BB's. However if you ever want to adjust the balance of CL and CA you need to start somewhere and the IFHE skill is a good place to start. Also note that most of the "annoying" Russian cruisers are also affected by this change.

You forgot Stalingrad B...

On a more serious note, instead of completely removing it in the very first iteration, how about trying to reduce the notification to 6km or even 4km vs DDs first? Auto-detection area would drastically be reduced with every "missing" kilometer.

Well you should have an idea where the DD was last spotted and thus an idea from which angle he might be comming from. So you better start your engine and move from that rock...

Don't know about you guys but I am always under the impression that being near perma spotted by the CV in a place where I can actually hurt the enemy team (i.e. somewhere in between 7km and 10km) kills me more often than the raw damage of the CV...

DD's can't sneak up on CV's since 2016 by default, when the decision was made that even braindead CV players will be alerted to DD presence once their hull is spotted.

Mount 20km torpedoes and stay near a Minotaur, problem solved.

There, corrected if for you.

You don't have to explain it as the entire and plain reason for the opening thread was that the codes were not for the general audience.

Then please link the post that was opened by a WG employee stating the codes.

No it is not. Easy to find is in the news section when I open the game. Apart from that I agree to most what @MrFingers has said but I have to point out that WG is in no way handling things different from, lets say, any other phone company. New customers get all the discounts and specials but existing customers get nothing, even if a better contract would be available (more or faster data for less money). You have to cancel your existing contract, leave and come back if you want a better contract. Same f....d up business practise.
