Made up for all those 'opened x containers - got butkiss' with this one opened 7 containers Bearn in the first Saipan in the 3rd and Hornet in the 4th ... others were credits boost and commander xp boost plus free XP and 12.500 coal

You are all missing the point! - the true role of Submarines in WoWS is to encourage you to play any other games THAN WoWS

As per the post title I was thinking of the good old days when WoWS was young and had not lost it's innocence Ships were real and not drunken "what if Carlsberg made ships" fantasies CV's were a pain in the [edited]but fair - they could DevStrike but they also ran out of planes and became toothless There was no buy your way to the top tier There was no gambling or excessive (not to mention obscene) real world costs for ships WG promised 'No subs ever as they did not fit into the game!' Truly it was a Golden Age

The interesting thing is that WG had quite a few options available to fix the original game - unfortunately they always seem to pick the worst one! A pattern that now seems set in stone

Oh yes, believe me I had not forgotten that part but at least they ran out of planes unlike now and even WG realized that CV's were too strong (unfortunately their solution was shall we say not the best!)

two factual observations for you: over the past six years many of us (who still remain) have seen the game devolve from a decent historical naval game into a arcade shooter with fantasy elements and secondly having shifted to mainly playing Co-op I have observed a very marked influx of players also switching to co- op mode to avoid submarines and to a lesser extent CV's originally co - op games you were lucky to see another human player - now it is quite common to see more humans than bots on your team. Also bear in mind when you are rubbishing some players posts, a lot of those posting like myself have been playing this game for a lot longer than you

Are we on the US Forum then?? seems like a paid up member of QAnon LOL!

'State sponsored facts are correct, all other facts are lies!'

If someone says "the ship is sinking" you ask "Why?" If a hundred people say "the ship is sinking" run to the Lifeboats!

Just watched the 2022 roadmap stream and the best bit.......British Battlecruisers are coming!

You will get it for free if you complete the pan asian missions plus enough temp tokens to get the perma camo for it

True!

It seems something has gone horribly wrong at Wargaming - 'A British ship that is decent AND fun to play?' Either too much or too little Vodka but I'll take this and not ask any questions

Indeed! - a Very merry Christmas and New Year to you all

Yep! - can't find it anywhere

Consider me hit with a bunch of four leaf clovers - this drop from one of the free containers! (shame it's a CV but beggars can't be choosers!)

The Allies agreed on a 'Germany first' strategy and thus focused their main efforts there, only when sufficient resources and the impending defeat of Germany was imminent did the British divert resources to the Far East. America was obviously more involved in the Pacific as Japan was her closest adversary.

Might end up being one of the last things I click on from WOWS if things keep going the way they are!

Most stat obsessed players will automatically gravitate to the most effective ships/types meaning that they will know how to use same to maximum effect. Joe ordinare types such as myself will find attempting to push will be an even quicker trip to the bottom as threat overload will deny any effective counter - trying to dodge shells and air attacks AND stupidly fast homing torpedo's means that avoiding one just gets you hit by the other. And let's not forget that some of these subs are faster underwater than a fair few DD's and Cruisers!

I know it's a first impression but I foresee future games being packed with unicums in CV's and Subs as playing anything else just makes you fish food! This seems to be the logical conclusion as we still have Multi Nations CV's to come plus Multi Nations Submarines

1st game - submerged sub faster than my DD plus 90knot homing torpedo's..... much fun and profit. DD vs Sub might be ok but DD vs sub and surface threats quickly leads to too many threats to cope with (and that's WITHOUT aircraft in the mix) So, as others have said either play T4 or below or uninstall - will give it a bit more of a try but option B is looking more attractive by the minute

Rework in progress to make it even more grindy! (WG forgot to add an extra zero!)

Yep, not working for me either

coming soon - flash notifications on screen......'3 hit combo' 'finish him' 'flawless victory' accompanied by fireworks!
