Yup, Ducat1st0 is known for going around and making bundle-topics.... It doesn't matter if it is the same people opening the topics, as long as there are different users that post in that topic.

One suggestion: Add two/one options under "Have you ever bought MORE THAN ONE bundle containing a Premium Ship?": ​1. "No, I have not bought a bundle, but have bought items in the store" 2. "No, I have not bought a bundle, but are willing to buy non-bundled content". I had to pick "I don't have an opinion under this question, since not a single alternative was applicable. Otherwise an good poll, but with some bias regarding some questions.

Yup, me too. But now I'm starting to be cautious as to sink more money into this game, as they clearly don't listen to the vocal community (in what our wishes are, not our view on class balance).

Already paid them during Alpha, can't remember what Warspite costed back then. I want to use more money on the game, but not on something that are priced so unreasonable. Especially since I have doubloons in the bank which I can't use on anything. If we got the Blyskawica-offer which they have on the RU server, then I might have bought that one. But seeing as we only get a T4 that cost more than a T7 premium ship, then I have no incentive to buy that "offer".

And you don't get it at all. The RU shop is SEPARATED from the others. They can price a ship whatever they want. You have already used your beer example; just do the same for ships.

Perhaps not. But what else can you call people that willingly buy a single pixel model for the cost of an AAA game? The point here is value for money. But yes, I was too harsh when I wrote that post. I blame lack of sleep and acting in insanity.

If you can't see the difference between these examples, there are no point in discussing it. Just for completeness sake: Beer price in London AND St. Petersburg are £2. But in London you have to pay for a shrimp coctail as well whenever you buy a beer, resulting in £8. Bundles are NOT the way to go to regulate prize/income differences. We can't buy anything from the RU shop and use on the EU server anyway, so that's a rather silly argument.

Meanwhile in Russia: https://ru.wargaming.net/shop/wows/specials/1183/ VII BŁYSKAWICA; BONUS × 15 SIGNALS ESCL; BONUS × 15 SIGNALS ZULU; SLOT; 1500 DOUBLOONS for $26.4. I don't remember what our cheapest Blyskawica-package were, but I think it was more expensive. Still can't believe that so many are willing to drop $66 or $69 on the Derpitz, with no bonus items or discounts what so ever. @Hans: WG has never tried to sell both a reasonable bundle+ship ingame at the same time. For all they know they could've tripled the profits for such a strategy compared to extortionate bundles. And please, where is the risk involved of selling virtual goods? They risk netting a lower profit, but it isn't like they have a limited supply or have to produce them for scratch each time. They also "risk" doubling their income from sales. Regarding free ships, both the Alpha and Beta were given to you because you worked for free for them. So generous.....(Note: I would be fine with no rewards as well, but it is in any case nothing to do with greed or generosity).

Seems like the Tirpitz is selling like hotcakes on the NA server.

It just baffles me how someone is willing to sell themselves so much as to buy it for these prices. EDITED due to impulse posting. Original post is given in the spoiler below

Vuk is too old for this crap EDIT: meat to say that other word used in that famous quote, but it seems the forums have auto-corrected it to crap.

Firstly, you cannot see the target 20 km away in a DD, so no. Secondly, I always close in to ~6-7 km before launching torps. Thirdly, I expect that if a BB sail in a straight line and takes evasive manoeuvres first when the torps are spotted, it deserves to take at least a couple or triple hits. As it is now, this isn't the case. I've sailed the New Mexico to North Carolina without the situational awareness perk, and I can count the times I've been taken completely by surprise by a stealth torp on one hand. I had larger problems with CVs due to tunnel-visioning than I ever had with DDs. It just takes to cahnge course and/or speed every 20 seconds to throw off the torps, something you should do anyway to avoid incoming fire. Nobody asks BBs to roll over and die, but if you keep a straight course and spots torps, you deserve to get hit. It is as simple as that.

Not quite on your first point. The main problem is that the reaction time (torp spotted /torp speed) increases when you tier up. So the lower tier DDs are in fact the deadliest torpers, whereas the ones of the top* are the worst. This patch tones down this scaling, which is ridiculous to begin with. So on the higher tiers, the torps got spotted so easy that you got all the time in the world to avoid them. I've seen it happen multiple time, perfect line-up, but the BB just turns when he sees the torps and avoid the entire salvo, even though I anticipated his movements. That's the problem, not that BBs change direction beforehand. *disregarding carpet torpers like Shimakaze. I guess not, but is it possible to create a shared subsection between the EU/NA region on this forum? My main problem with reddit is that I like to have all WoWs stuff on one place, e.g the forums.

You are fine with one-shotting CAs, but not fine by getting countered with the class that are supposed to counter BBs? And if you start taking manoeuvres when you see the torps, then expect to be hit. It's not that hard.

I have been to an exam on the most prominent scientific university in Norway where they manage to that blunder. So you are definitely not alone.

I'm pretty sure you can file a report through the support system. Just remember to take screenshots But it will probably be as effective as the ingame one, as they will need several reports to act. One can not know if you taunted him ingame for instance, which lead to the out-of game outburst.

I think trolling the OP is what the OP is after, so better not do it

Well, considering you included the minimap, all can find the map and the location

Is that also the reason why we can't have a Q&A-section/session on the EU forums? Because if the English section was to have one, all the other sections must have one as well?

I think OP is a troll (or just very ignorant) after seeing his/hers reply in another thread. EDIT: Learn proper spelling. If you are too lazy to type two more letters (ur/your), then better not type at all.

If the game is dying, then it is not because of the reasons listed above. Also, don't project your "BB saling straight, got rekt by DD"-views on other people.

I don't know why I bother answering this, but here goes: 1. No problem 2. 3. Using WoT as an example of accuracy is like comparing apples to oranges. They ar both round, buth the comparison stop there. WoT is not in any way historical other than armour layout (and that is somewhat debatable as well). Tanks using guns that they were never designed with, or in best case some plan to mount them. Ground resistance gets buffed to compensate HP/ton-ratio, weird cammo ratings, aim-time and accuracy, etc. Now even shell penetration is a balance parameter. 4. News-flash: people don't like playing games where they are useless simply due to the ship they are sailing and what the opposition are. People like to have a shot at victory in every match. So to try to impose the "BB master race" -principle is a very bad idea. The result will be that everyone will play BBs to remain competitive. 5. Datamining is not fake; it might just not be these changes that go live. I have no idea what you are talking about next (flying, SAO?). And we do have dedicated peope, they are called supertesters. But they don't have much influence in regards to balance changes. That have always been determined from server statistics. And from that, DDs from T6+ up to T10 are underperforming. The T10 are closer to balanced, but still not performing as well as it should. The best performers are BBs ATM; yet I don't see you saying that they are OP.

Our paper competition has far better prizes. I just wish we could have some prizes for "A for effort"

Just draw your own or head to the nearest school/library and print it there
