    Not recieved rewards for Ranked victories. WTF?

    Well deserved, I'd say.

    Suiciding by someone own's weaponry, how is it possible?

    Yes, one can probably code that when more than half the damage sustained is done by the CV himself, something happens, but as this behaviour is rather rare, it's not worth the effort.

    Are prem ships in Wows stronger than the tech tree ones? I believe most of the differences stem from the more experienced players getting them, and also getting them before the nerfbat. Remember when Stalingrad could skill fire prevention? Or smolensk the DD gunboat skills?

    I believe he believes he's sarcastic, but actually it's just low quality trolling. 1/10, and that only for the effort.

    Bah, who needs islands anyway? But yeah, I agree - the game is balanced around these obstacles for BBs and long range torpedo DDs. Just look what happens when the only realistic map 'ocean' shows up. A collective gnashing of teeth and the BBs reversing from the spawn. But it's an arcade game after all, so, what do you expect?

    And then your realized that the B disc of your games ... errr... 'aquired by alternative distribution channels' didn't work....

    The Mysterious Art of Kiting.

    Concerning the kiting - are you looking for tips on how to do it yourself or were you just ranting about BBabies? Both are very much acceptable in my opinion. Basically, first you need to make sure you don't abandon your push - but also taking care to not simply suicide. We all know the 20k hp Kurfurst suddenly deceiding to lead the charge. The less HP you have, the harder you need to make yourself to hit. The farther away you are the more you need to offer your HP (without asking for citadels) until there is a point where no one will shoot you regardless. It's all about distributing incoming damage and at the same time focussing your own. To properly juke, sail away at a 45° angle, 1/4 speed and juke away & brake when they shoot, works like a charm. The unusal slow speed makes them predict farther ahead, the juke brings the nose out of the way. With Colbert you can do the other thing, full speed broadside and juke the last second when the shells are falling, throwing your stern out of the way. Incomparable can do that, too, because of the speed and the fulcrum. Also consider where your zone of immunity is and keep that distance. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zone_of_immunity

    First steps of a great idea

    Basically it's: Oh, look, WG realized (after simply checking the spreadsheet) we all have a lot of premium days left over - They could trade us something for it! Wouldn't it be grand if it were Coal or Ships? Guess what. Not gonna happen. It's similar to allow people to now pay with the lint they found in their pocket. It's worthless. Ok, not as worthless, as that lint can be purchased at a semi fixed rat (edit: rate obviously). But it can't be sold, making it 'consumed' and therefore lost the second you receive it. Just like ships. Just to be clear, this is all worthless, as it is an artificial, an arbitrary economy. At no additional cost to them they could give everyone a billion dubs and all the ships in the game. They just need to keep up the pretense of "worth" so they can generate a revenue and pay for the servers, etc. (Don't know what they pay the balans department, though)

    Just Wondering: Anyone Else Get Robbed Recently?

    I believe you that you did and I'm sure that you didn't find anything - because you suck at polls! The one remotely acceptable answer has been up by you with a qualifier: Also you're missing a lot of answers like "I don't care"

    What Were Your Greatest Gaming Achievements Today ?

    Dodge Harder™ 4m tanked. In a floating citadel where someone plastered wet toilet paper on as a sorry excuse for armor. I actually expected a quality throw early to mid game. Every salvo a possible devstrike. And later on with less and less HP, every pen a possible death: 4m3 20220929_192402_PFSC510-Colbert_23_Shards.wowsreplay4m3 20220929_192402_PFSC510-Colbert_23_Shards.wowsreplay

    Yes. And that's the reason it's gonna be worthless. Everyone and their brother has premium left over. And with the recent influx of supershits and submersible scum, I'm not even sure I'll experience them running out. Unfortunately I lack an alternative....

    First steps of a great idea

    Until this very second I thought that's just some bovine excrement programming error, showing the wrong currency. But people who buy flags, they deserve what they get. On the other hand, they all pay for my game, that's fine with me. It just makes my heart bleed to see these cetaceans being cut uo fir their blubber.
  14. Karkong_the_Impaler

    First steps of a great idea

    Yes. I was just ranting about "in game currencies". But basically it's all still an aequivalent to €, there is no need to mix them up even more. Also, WG doesn't want you to pay with premium. You have too much of it, because you get easily - they want to keep you playing, purchasing even more dubs. They'd hurt themselves when they allow you to pay with it.
  15. Karkong_the_Impaler

    First steps of a great idea

    Rethoric. Because, you know, buying premium time also works with dubloons. This is akin to rather paying in, say, gold bars instead of €. Basically it would be much better to force gaming companies with "in game currencies" to always show the aequivalent in € (or whatever local currency) - but they don't like to do that, because with that disconnection to real money, people - dumb people, mostly - spend more. That's one of the oldest dark patterns used by the WG psychological warfare branch, they all like to do this.

    So, what's the difference to dubloons?

    Funny and sad game situations shown with map screenshots.

    Two enemy shimas still alive, a Yamato starboard abeam. This is a rare screenshot showing how trash level players (the Repu) are worse than AFKers. They actively lead their team to failure. I mean, of the lot, the Napoli was even above average.

    Ship Class Opinion Poll: ALL Ship Ratings by Class

    But I cannot answer that without answering question #2, where I have to say YES to something I (or whomever) does not want to say yes to! Is that so hard to grasp? Also, do not make polls with with qualifiers, like "do you want x?" with the choices of "YES - Because I'm intelligent and good looking" and the other choice "NO - because I'm ugly and smell". You suck at making polls. You are really, really bad at it. Please stop. I've made this for you: Please print out every frame of it and hang it in your office so you can look at it when you feel the urge again. Maybe this helps. Not you, obviously, but maybe the rest of us.

    Clausewitz and Dalarna Release date?

    That may be the only excuse to play supershits.

    Your poll is missing the obvious choice of. "Do nothing, tell entitled players to stop their bitching" Again: Also:

    hidden treasure map code

    Everyone should experience this, comrade. Everyone is happy here in gulag! We are enjoying this interesting and enticing treasure hunt, it's fun and engaging and so is this warship strike! (thank the gods you can let the AI suffer instead of yourself. It's probably happy it doesn't have to aim secondary guns in operations)

    Beautiful - Lindo

    Once in a blue moon experiencing a battle where you got lucky is no excuse for a) playing bad and b) flaming your team, especially if you have no clue in the first place. Also:

    Belfast coming back..... In AUCTION?!

    But it's tier 7 and won't meet supershits. Arguably a better choice than Mushi.

    Disappearing doubloons

    Inflation. Spend it soon, as long as it's worth something! (then proceed to purchase some more)

    Belfast coming back..... In AUCTION?!

    And we all know how much that qualifies for anything. Supershits are either played by unicums trying to pad their stats some more or the worst trash players, trying to purchase skill.
