Eyebot

nach ca. einem jahr pause bin ich anfang oktober zu WoWS zurückgekommen ... hab das ganze chaos des CV reworks nicht erlebt. jedenfalls war ich neugierig wie die atlanta sich im neuen meta zurechtfindet... war/ist sie doch mein lieblingsschiff stats der letzten 21 tage random battles (solo) eigentlich die einzigen momente wo ich mich mit dem schiff verloren gefühlt hab, waren matches auf loop bzw. am östlichen spawn von okinawa. sicher - manchmal ist es auch nervig wenn ein t8 CV einen als target auserkoren hat (und mal schnell 5k schaden mit einem rocket strike macht) ... aber im großen und ganzen ist sie ein recht potenter cruiser. da ich mich auf anti-DD konzentriere, ist hydro fast ein muss ... egal ob's drum geht torp walls auszuweichen oder um in den gegnerischen smoke zu pushen wenn das radar cooldown hat. skills sind: PT/PM/AR/BFT/IFHE/AFT/CE bei den modulen muss ich anmerken: propulsion > steering gears ... die +/- beschleunigung im bereich von +/-10kt ist unglaublich hilfreich beim aktiven positionieren in deckung

hatte sie schon länger, aber mangels captain skills nie wirklich gespielt. da ich jetzt nun doch endlich den einen oder anderen 19pt captain hab, geht das mit dem hochskillen auch etwas schneller. jetzt mit 10+pt captain auf der haida macht sie tatsächlich spaß. hatte eben ein exemplarisches match für das schiff: https://replayswows.com/replay/68081 ich nehme aber an, dass so wie ich sie spiele (wenig smoke, viel hydro und DD jagd, torps als mittel der wahl gegen größere ziele) ich mir wohl die z-39 anschauen sollte. andererseits ist das concealment der haida einfach zu bequem, d.h. es gibt selten momente in denen ich überraschend gespottet werde.

ouch >_< on a side note - it seems like the rental/mission aren't triggered on log-in but rather on the first mission played

okay, support's answer pretty much boils down to the following... once you accept a referral link your account will become a referred player linked to your recruiter. this link is only broken if the system resets (whenever that might be). in other words - if you claimed the benefits from the current referral program once on your account, you won't be able to claim it again/with a different player.

as a returning player, i got a bit of an odd question... if i already have accepted a referral by a player, can i cancel this and accept a referral of a different player if i have yet to start playing again? if not: is there a time limit between acceptance of a referral and actually activating it by playing WoWS? in case you're wondering how this question arose ... well, as i was thinking about trying the game again, i did some catching-up on changes over the past year. on a blog i found a referral link of the blog's owner and accepted it, but hadn't yet time to install the client to play again. when talking with a friend about my return, he mentioned that he also started playing again not so long ago... which also means that he actually could refer me as well. going by the documentation apparently a new/returning player can only have one "recruiter". is there a way to cancel the first referral and chose my friend as a recruiter? after all, i will division with him regularly (netting us both the benefit of the referral program), something which very likely will never ever occur with the blog's owner. or would i have to wait until after my next 90d+ hiatus (whenever that might be), so my friend could (if he's still playing at that time) be my "new" recruiter? (assuming that the referral of returning players after 90d hiatus isn't a one-time-only thing)

from the wiki: on overpenetration on overmatch meaning: overmatch is relevant for AP shells as they might ricochet on highly acute angles dealing no damage. when overmatch applies no ricochet happens and the damage is applied (depending if it's a penetration, over-pen or a citadel hit). overpenetration happens when the AP fuse isn't "correctly" triggered and doesn't explode inside the ship - or in other words: not enough ship behind the entry point of the shell. there might be situations where overmatch and overpenetration might occur at the same time, but in general their circumstances are the opposite of each other - an acute angle often means shooting along the length of the ship (shells fired from the front sector bouncing of the belt of a ship), while having not enough ship usually implies shooting along the width of a ship (shells with a long fuse timer fired at the broadside of a narrow ship).

i haven't started playing yet (not even downloaded the client) ... just had a year long hiatus and apparently there's a returning players part of the program. and true - trying to accept a second referral most likey would have given me an indication about the general workings of the referral program. >_< still i'm curious about the specifics like: max time between acceptance via link and activation via log-in; recurrence of returning player-referrals (could i get recruited by different people after every 90d+ break, or would my first returning player-recruiter benefit from my return after my next qualifying break, or would no one get a benefit after the first returning-player referral?) or are these question that should directly be put into support tickets?

to actually repent you have to play the pensacola for the next two days, showing only broadside to your enemies.

unfortunately i seem to get only into battles with 30-40% BBs per team.
