283 so far and another 10 to go for this week - we all need to keep going just to ensure we make the 10 mil - while I agree we should complete it easily this week we should not just drop out at 260!

Where do I sign up?

Still not able to play at all - game crashes in port sometimes when I try to select a ship and also crashes EVERY time I try and enter a battle (when battle about to start) OS Windows 10 64bit ...... anyone got any ideas?

Still suffering lots of fatal crashes - in port trying to select/upgrade some of the ships and also crashes attempting to participate in Battles - OS is Windows 10 64 Bit.

Quite often with these ''kill *** type'' missions the best thing is to just relax and play normally - when you try to specifically focus on the one type you quit playing tactically and rush in hoping to score that mission critical kill only to have someone else put the last shell into it before you. I spent the first half of my Myoko quest doing the whole focus thing and agonizing over every DD sunk by someone else but, when you stop chasing around like a lunatic you will start to get results - your choice of ship is quite important as you need to be able to HE spam DD's in between the flickering of their cloaking devices but I would not go so far as to recommend a specific ship. Also console yourself with the fact that you still have the best part of a month to get it done and when you get to the 300 fires bit any decent cruiser with judicious HE spam will see you getting an average of 5 to 10 fires per game then its just the Damage run to the finish line

On a side note - can I have another 2km range on Warspite?

In a game the features RNG quite heavily Detonation is just one more aspect of it and to be honest a fairly insignificant one at that! You get 10 "I can't blow up" flags for the odd time you do and with various missions and events you often get awarded flags as well (eg project-r 10 of each flag type when we hit the next marker) So, for randoms just roll with it and use the ones you get from that for ranked - most of us have loads of various flags sitting in our signal lockers without spending anything (saving all mine for the RN )

To be honest I see it as just another RNJesus moment - like when I hit a DD with 3 shells from my 15" guns and he just goes on his merry way (and yes, I do know about overpen!) It happens so infrequently that when it happens to me I just shrug it off and rejoice when it happens to the other guy.

I have not seen anyone mention one of the negative aspects of XVM - namely the effect on the 'play for fun/favourite ships' group of players. if you play for stats you always pick the most OP ships in your tier/class but the players who play for fun will be the ones who are sometimes in the worst ships in the class because it is their favourite. Add to that the average players who play through multiple trees and do not use free Xp to skip upgrades or even entire 'bad' ships and you get players with bad stats from their earlier progress - are they tomatoes due to their lack of skill or their lack of judgement ( assuming that everyone should be going for the best ships all the time?) Or are stats obscuring the fact that this is a game and some of us play for fun?

Or, just get HMS Warspite and grind your British captains ready for when they do arrive! (and you will be playing a Royal Navy ship)

Well, if we don't grind for pearls there will be no draw as we will not reach the target! plus, since WG has said you will get the ship if you get 260 pearls why not just go for it?

Time to move on from all this...how many of us have thought we were doing something humerous only to have it blow up in our faces? I know I have. Unfortunately quite a few of the forum are getting rather quick to proceed to a verdict before the trial has begun - let's all just get back to playing the GAME.

TBH, in all my games the number of times I have had a magazine explode are so few I can't honestly remember the last one. As you say, It's a game but this is just an infrequent RNG factor and not something that is occurring every game - you might as well complain about the RNG that makes most of your salvo miss at 4k range or getting set on fire but without these things the skilled players would just wipe the floor with the rest of us! Detonations happen to us all even the top percenters so it is fair in that respect but obviously some ships are more prone to it than others.

I will go for a straight $ to € conversion so €66 and €69 - does the winner get a free Tirpitz?

The absolute worst part of Ranked battles is not irrevocable ranks or even lower tier/stock ships - it's people playing a team event but not playing AS A TEAM! If you can't / don't want to play as a team for the lord Budda's sake stick to RANDOMS! In fact if it was not for irrevocable ranks I would have given up long ago due to all the factors mentioned by the previous posters - I am not a great player but when my 'team' variously suicides, Rambo's or decides that hiding behind an island or cruising to the farthest corner of the map is a great tactic even I know that it's not going to end well. ​

Stronk logic : "Not many people are buying our bundles, what shall we do?" "Throw in more worthless crap and charge them more - that's bound to work!"

As per Zpartan, would be great to fly flags corresponding to your commanders rank!

As a TEAM game the best way to win is by demolishing the other guys as quickly as possible....this is best done by 2 or 3 of you focusing on one target and putting him on the bottom as quickly as possible then doing the same to the next! Of course, there might be some scrub hiding on the fringe waiting for that cheap shot but as others have pointed out most of us go for a Win rather than scalps but that is always going to be a possibility in random teams.

Seeing quite a few toxic comments cropping up now - let's not forget that an awful lot of brave men on ALL sides died fighting valiantly! It's these types of National stereotyping that continue to cause upset as some people are only concerned with highlighting actions that support their own narrow viewpoint. Remember we have the chance to interact as WoWS community players for enjoyment not to stir up old injuries as nationalists.

Indeed!...we should ultimately get ALL the Major naval powers of the period. As already stated by many both the French and the Italians had large navies with a wide range of ship types - as a group we should all be pushing for WG to put at least one ship (NON premium) for each nation to provide a Captain trainer to keep us all sweet while we wait for our respective trees.

Easy answer as stated before in other topics - just introduce a T5 cruiser from each nation...French, Italian, Chinese and RN then we will all be happy as we will have a Captain trainer while we wait for our respective tech trees! Surely WG it would not cause the world to stop revolving whilst you did this?

I think it is a step in the right direction at least....after all they did organize something rather than just the 2X XP. As it went, of course I was a bit disappointed not to have met either ship but then again I was going to play anyway and at least I ground another load of credits and xp and researched and bought the Nurnburg so by no means a total loss.

Another thought - the number of premium sales would give WG an idea of popularity re the next tree.....if more French cruisers sold than RN or Italian you release the French next! After all market demand was the rationale for the Russian launch. (I am actually a Brit so no National bias - the more cash WG gets hopefully the more the game grows and eventually we all get the ships we want!)

Forgot to add - no bundle though!....just the ship.

Most sensible thing WG could do is release a premium Brit, French and Italian cruiser so we can ALL have a Captain trainer while we wait for our respective trees - that way we will all be pacified and WG will get a crap ton of income.....win win ? I think so.
