I just got Colombo and while I earlier only played it in the public beta it seems ok. Still a learning process as posted by many above, but as for the 360 turning rear turrets gimmick, I see that as a clear advantage in turret management and aiming. Why would it not be?

I am not overly concerned with the Twitch leak: https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/the-entirety-of-twitch-has-reportedly-been-leaked/ but giving it a second thought I have my WOWS account linked to Twitch, to get drops, and as a matter of fact another couple of accounts. Those have been linked via the WOWS site, but still, can we get a comment on the security situation?

@ThePurpleSmurf Got 2FA enabled since maybe two years back on Twitch, probably should enable it for WOWS as well. But yeah, changing that pwd is a nobrainer.

I was actually going to post about this topic, WOWS as Open World MMO. While I see some posts raising valid objections or issues to consider I still think the idea is tantalizing. In particular if it boils down to PvP with fixed bases and ... PIRACY. So how would my game session look like? I bord my vessel, check engineering for upgrades, do those I can afford, and get out on the sea. At sea I can do any of several different things. - If I feel confident I can look for armed prey and risk taking a beating for good loot . - I can attack merchant bot ships for standard loot (different levels available) - I can go for a small base alone, or join a mate for a larger base with better loot - I could take my mates to attack other teams for greater loot etc... you get the idea... What may be important is to delimit the world, as we see in many other games, in zones, oceans, suitable for lower and higher levels and all that mechanic that would have to go in to the game.... I am an MMO player myself, but mostly only played one MMO since a few years back, but I have tested and spent a bit of time in maybe 4-5 additional ones, so what is required is mostly readily available in terms of setup and player interaction and loot systems, trade and all that, but I would hate it to be overly complex, you attack and ravage bases and ships and if defetaed back to base with a penalty, if win you get loot for improvements... If you wanna just sail the oceans in peace maybe there could be a setting for that to turn on but I rather be exposed to attack and having to explore and research to defend myself... anyway, lots to be said about it, but as a concept it really deserves some credit.

Na, thats fine... I'll do it, but at the risk at getting yelled at, someone will eventually always yell at someone for some reason every few battles.... I case they want to complain and beat me up my address is 10 Downing Street, London.

Great. The problem is of course wandering of by yourself not helping out the team as much as possible otherwise... that could cause some bad blood, even worse than BB camping/sniping.

So we need to sink more CV's. Check. On it. Been at it for weeks and maybe months.

Given the opportunity I will try to sink you.

So did I mention that I hate CV's and that every time i take huge damage from bombers or torp planes I just feel like quitting the session because it ruins so much of the gameplay...? I guess I did, with hundreds of others...

So I have to complete the achievement Arsonist. I never have thus far, not even by accident, I read some tips in the US forum, but I wonder if you may share any additional insight? https://forum.worldofwarships.com/topic/167699-arsonist-achievment/ Also With Cleveland from 2015... So from my German ships I was kinda thinking loading up a T5 or T6 to do this, even getting München since it claims to be fast firing... I could do Mainz but it is kinda fragile... Nünberg has a reload time of 6.0 secs... I think reload time is important to achieve this. Open for opinions...

Well, I try to play every battle with some immersion, I am not a robot, does that make me a yolo, maybe, but perhaps a more decent one. I am not anywhere close to considering it easy, I am learning to spot the obvious errors, like rushing, but aggressive noobs tend to provoke me in to doing things wrong. Well, I am a newb too, but I am not a very aggressive personality. Xcept when it comes to CV's.

Jeez, I dont have many but i have like 5 times that in Random and my rate is zero. Seems you like to play with fire...

64 games? Today? In one day? Ever heard of metal fatigue? No seriously, I am fortunate if I have time for 5-10 daily games.

I know... got yelled at for being to far away with my Kurfurst but I was pounding with every shot and not running into a crossfire, three minutes later the rest of the team, including the whiner, was gone. 30 seconds after that I was gone. I actually have been both reading up and watcing youtubes... but broadside, my guns are there, I wanna fire with all of them Not sure, I only had it for a short while running up for Hindenburg... I am considering buying a Premium ship from another tree, but I have thus far completed all but DD in the German Tree and I would like to stick to that. Spending 20-60 bucks ( $ € ) to complete an achievement is of course a bit steep, but could also be an investment. Anyhow failed again... I need more silver... need to do a few König / Eitel Friedrich / Scharnhorst / Bismarck runs to get some cash... reliable sturdy killers...

I would agree if my win rate in Random was above 30%. Since it is not, I tend to focus on what I can do regardless of win. While still trying to have a constructive and destructive impact on the team. Magic nine? Care to elaborate on that? I currently have Ägir in 9. Sold off all (well those I had) 9 cruisers to get Hindenburg which turned out to be a bit of a fragile choice... I guess I could get Roon back... or get Pommern.

Ok, so I am relieved my question actually seems to have been reasonably motivated and that you guys don't bash me for missing something obvious and noobish... I am reluctant to use Hindenburg (I have it) and stick to mid tiers like Nürnberg seems like a better choice, it is just cheaper overall. Could try with Grose Kürfust but seems like a bad idea...

I see this RTS being mentioned, anyone care to enlighten me? I know carriers have been through a few development stages, but I am not versed in those... That video posted is awful to see, from my perspective... see the pleas of mercy from opposing side is makeing my almost wanna cry...

It's a conspiracy.... Third time in the last few weeks the game crashes on me when I have a CV in my sights. Which is not that often...

Without bothering to track you down over the entire map and exposing it self to incoming fire? CARRIERS! MAY THE GOOD LORD IN HIS MERCY SEE FIT TO EXTERMINATE THEM FROM OUR BELOVED SURFACE BATTLE GAME!! LET THE FIRES OF KHORNE RAIN UPON THEM! THE ALMIGHTY WISE EMPEROR OF MAN WILL SURELY NOT LET THIS ABOMINATION CONTAMINATE OUR BATTLES FOR FREEDOM AND JUSTICE

Star Wars Republic Commando was awesome.... played it a lot and was really good at it too Lets face it, some of us do better with AI players... instead of:

I am not saying I am competent enough to evaluate the job done by the AI engine. I guess it is OK, others can probably point out flaws, I am grateful it is not better than it is in Co-op Batlles anyhow. When I play Training I would expect AI vessels on my team to acknowledge orders - requests. I realize this can be disputed among real players in other battle types, but this is Training with AI ships vs AI ships. I am the only human, they should obey me? Right? Why can I not expect an AI to respond to a "I need help" [F5] and come a bit closer to offer assistance and support? Why won't they capture Areas when told so? Maybe I am missing something, sure if they are under fire it would be unreasonable to expect even AI vessels to just blindly ignore that and respond. God knows all to many real players ignore what seems like sensible actions, but having mutineers even among AI?

You , Sir, are painfully unaware of The Three Laws of Robotics. And then the Zeroth Law. but I get it...

Well you can preted that the AI bots are humans actually responding and coming to your aid or doing what they can to accomplish the mission at hand...... ... wait...a ... sec... AHA HA HA HA......

I guess we all se this costly ship behaving like a penguin on drugs occasionally so you are of course not wrong... (could even have been me... ) I apologize for the intellectually interested minority who sees this as an historic opportunity to somehow experience battles of the wars and try out the boats, both those that were never built along with the famous heroic ones... Did anyone consider setting up scenarios from real battles, like Leyte? Jutland? Midway ? Maybe not from a realistic standpoint, but setting up the amount of ships and geography...
