To me space battles are unwelcome in a game that offers the most detailed and beautiful models of warships spanning a period roughly between before WW1 and somewhat after WW2. It is not that i tuely hate it but it feels like waste of development time that could have been used to give these WWi and WWII ships a better and more fitting enviroment outside of PvP matches, but probably give us more interesting maps in PvP too. Because there is/can be a game outside PvP matches too. Now that is Operations which have become very limited, or Coop but i feel WG should be investing in making real famous sea battles come to life in another game mode where you get to replay those battles. But they do not and create Halloween events, Space battles and what not which can be seen as irrelavant circus style crap to entertain.....who in fact ? Since the player base seems somewhat older then in similar games such as their own WOT. This should indicate they do not like wild "kiddie" content seemingly aimed at youngsters all that much. Or is it aimed at other nations players ? Such a Japanese culture....To actually attract more youngsters to the game maybe ? Is marketing perhaps a little too ambitious not recognising ruining their own game by this ? How many players enjoy fantasy creation events in a game with very accurate WWI and WWII ship models ? Who likes to see them with manga camo's and space camo's and sounds outside their circus enviroments ? Dou you think WG should invest their development time and recourses into more relevant ( WWI/WWII ) content or realistic/historic settings and enviroments ?

What i think is WG is trying to please the "space ship Yamato" part of the world or in other words : Asia. That is a marketing thing. That whole "Space ship Yamato" thing is a curious vehicle for turning shame and defeat - very hard on Japanese culture - into something more digestable for the Japanese public when you think of it.

But where is the stuff that should be in game ? Because besides PvP - which is but a part of the game - we have only a few Operations. The offence is not really the circus stuff, but the development time put into other things then developing content that should be in the game. Historic/famous sea battles mode for example. And much more Operations.

I only mentioned it because the topic is on "modules" For AA modules specificly that would be "Auxilary Armements Modification 1" you should be taking when concerend over their durability. Ofcourse a player is free to have the opinion that is a waste of a ship module, but then again priorities priorities......you HAVE the option to make them less vulnerable already. Wether or not you use it is your own buisiness. Compaining about AA vulnerability is anidication this option was overlooked. If it was not overlooked it is a cheap way of saying "" i want less vulnerable AA but i don't want to sacrifice anything else for it" and then hey...why should anyone listen to that ? I for one hope that module is not "discovered" by too many players, or re evaluated to not be a "waste" as my CV's become very powerful mid-late match when players not mount those. And my lost aircraft costs do not rise as punishing high as well. This is all part of the games design as well. You have an option to be not so vulnerable to aircraft, but it will cost you in other things you could do.

Now you do

Hah....endless used toilet paper flag rewards, soon to be had for real money......no thnx. I'll would buy premium CV from the shop at least if they are no 126 euro "admiral packs"

No offence to the art work of designers as these camos look nice and all but my opinion is that it is the wrong game for it. Ofcourse no one needs to care about my opinion, but i'm writing it anyway. So thnx El2aZeR and Cambera_1 showing me to turn that CRAP off. And thnx WG i guess for allowing for that with an option.

Sacrificing DD on a mass scale might even be connected to the reason why the premium CV are still not there......one would think a money grab premium CV would offer WG can only be resisted if it is sure to cost more money as the effects of it could be on a desastrerous scale for a part of the player base. Who for example wants to buy French DD lootboxes of or French DD direct from shop if they were to be reduced to target drones by the popular and intensive used premium CV's ? I mean every day multiple topics are started like "Hey WG wise up kick CV out of game" so adding more popular ones that are more rewarding in bonusses and probably will be in use non stop might spell a lot of trouble and hurt the money to be grabbed from the DD player base, when the French line hits release.

That first frame in the comic actually sums it up quite right.....

This probably would not even have been a bad idea in the RTS version of CV since you had limited and a known determined number of aircraft and these could be translated in a portion of "health of the ship" since the CV would be rendered useless losing all of its aircraft. But now aircraft respawn out of nowhere ( supposedly the hangar but that is infinite in space it seems ) so any percentage awarded as being part of a CV's health is out of the window, I do however dislike unrealistic suggestions CV ship health is tied to squadron damage....this isn't WOW where the Warlock gets damaged because it's demon pet is.....besides that CV ships can be used as shooting/capping ships as well, given oppertune circumstances. Can't do that with an almost depleted HP hull. Still they should properly award a specified number of XP/credits to be had per killed aircraft or per damage amount to aircraft. AA role should be rewarded too.

Yes i would like that too.....there was 1 oppertunity : sell the lexington "steam punk" camo for doubloons which i took. Who ever in their right mind would like their powerful US carrier aircraft look like damned paper kites ? But i very much dislike other free premium camo's too......The one on the Helena for example. Or the one on the Implacable. But seen their benefits it is pretty hard not to use them, but still they ruiin immerssion into a historic time setting. It would be a very nice gesture you could sell that and buy a more realistic premium camo back. Btw : how do you turn those SF camo's off ? I have gone through settings twice not noticing the option....

You beat me to that exact answer when i read it lol

This indeed...

That is true but does it need to have such circus setting ? You could do it with your normal ships but with some extra attractive awards could it not ?

That is almost exactly the way i feel about them......but the laser sounds and camos, and monster camos in PvP do ruin my immersion in otherwise very detailed WWi/WWII ship combat. One step futher and you see bathtub comic-style drawn creations in PVP battles too.

I actually had my premium account run out. That is all i have to say about the situation and the way they communicate with us to WG.

I am NOT interested in space games or space camo's ( i truely hate to see them in random matches as they ruin immersion in a WWi/WWII enviroment ) , inter server competitions, clan competetions, rental ships, haloween stuff, missions that are called after battles without having anything to do with it and more....and flag rewards.....it is like receiving toilet paper..... What i do miss is enacting WWI/WWII great and famous battles. To me it is what you should be doing with such beautiful detailed model of ships. But this is not offered outside some available but very limited Operations. Those premium CV becoming available is important to me. I even consider not to play the game untill they do or add new tech tree lines, that means relevant game content. Not this circus crap. I think the player base of WOWS is somewhat older, i wonder if space battles and such things are actually what the player base wants....

Well they managed to have mission objectives now without offering the means to accomplish them.... I think that is customer contempt.

All fighters have their real guns modelled. I would like them to be able to (machinegun/cannon) strafe ships. This should penetrate non armoured plating ( many DD ) and light armoured plating up to what those bullets and grenades would be able to penetrate. Would make things a bit more lively / realistic. This shuld wreck mostly deck modules and only blow up ships if thye actually pentrate magazines or boilers, but theire should be a choice of either this OR rockets.

You will see that it does......just wait and see.

Because those containers have a slim chance of containing said premium CV's ? And the excitement for those containers is because of premium CV ? Maybe ?

Can you imagine not 4 CV in up to T9 matches but 6 or 8 ? And not tech tree ones but all PREMIUM ones ? That could be fun for those that already find the game "unplayable" now.

You guys could just take the ship module "Auxilary Armements Modification 1" and preventive maintenance captain skill ? Or wanna have those advantages without it costing other choices eh ?

If this is true those opposed to all the new stuff do not have many options....either they deinstall and look for other games* to satisfy what they are looking for, or they adapt as all classes should and will be balanced so their class is too. If you are unable to play it, obviously you are doing something wrong. Racing form match start to the cap to fight the enemy DD there is wrong for multiple reasons, even when CV are not present to "discourage" that. But it still is done on an massive scale. Doesn't mean it is the right thing to do, or you should be able to unopposed and invisible spraying torpedo's to the other side of the cap. These are just bad strategy and tactics that were never opposed in the right way up to recently. Cruisers should have done it but they chose to kite around peppering Battleships with HE shells at maximum range. Now Strike fighters do what other classes failed to do. CV lost a lot of abilities that will not return ever as well. At least DD still have these abilities when CV are not around, and there will be times when CV play will attract less players. Even though as you say there will be revival peaks. * better not go WT because that is as close to a simulator as it can get arcade style....you won't like their tanks and ships durability. Or the OMNIPRESENCE of AIRCRAFT.....or even attack helicopers, whatever you think is worse

Return to tier 1-3 gameplay if the rest is too complex for you, because those tiers are CV and radar free.
