    The slow death of American Destroyers

    Yep... I used the Commander skill to increase range of Main Armament by 20%. This new patch has rendered that skill useless since the detection range is exactly the same as the maximum range now.... yet another example of WG pandering to the whiiney winnging BB drivers. WG.... why not just call it World of Battleships, because that is what it has beecome now

    BTW.... what's with the Maxim MG on an artillery carriage behind the citadel... facing over the 'blunt-end' ???????

    @Lepr0n When a ship has awesome boats hanging from davits... you think two things. 1. Why would the captain want so many taxi's..... OR..... 2. This ship needs those boats because the designers have no faith in it and if they aren't there... you're swimming up the Elbe to get home

    Konigsberg, er, wtf?

    Got my K-berg at midday today. Spent the last 2 days thrashing my Jap DD's to get it and only getting 1 or 2 kills..... then got 5 kills in a Fubi, all with torps.... would you credit it??? So far the K-berg seems OK ...so far! But disappointed with the XP and Credits, mainly because WG failed miserably at explaining FULLY what you get when you win one of these ships. I have had to trawl the net to try and find out what EXACTLY is going on as far as XP and Credits are concerned, and ALL the answers are coming from uses and NOT WG. I shouldn't be surprised, after all, since WG are famous (or should that be infamous) for doing exactly that.... lack of communication! On the plus side though.... you do get a slight step up the ladder when the new German Tiers come out in a week. I've swapped my Tirpitz Capt. to the K-berg (who has more skills) and after the test period I'll swap him back over.

    Release activities starting on 17/09

    As a Beta Tester, I feel a little let down by the lack-lustre and nonchalent attitude towards the A & B Testers. I'm not quite sure what I was expecting from the Game Launch, but it was slightly more than what we did get. WG needs reminding that without the A & B Testers.... they do NOT have a viable marketable game and for all our hours of testing and returning feedback questionnaires, one might have at least expected a thank-you email for all our trouble. It seems that even a small thing such as that is beyond the realm of their undstanding. WG had the massive opportunity of redressing their poor Customer Support reputation. Unfortunately, as they seem so often to be able to do, they set theselves a low standard and failed to achieve it!
  6. No offense, and with respect, 'I think' doesn't answer the OP.

    Screen resolution problems

    I am running an ATI Radeon HD4600 series graphics card and using a Dell 1505FP Monitor. My problem is that nomatter what I do I can't change the in-game settings to adjust the screen resolution. Height wise, it's fine, but the width is not sufficient for my monitor. I have tried editingthe preferences.xml in the game folder, and tried changing it in the game settings but no matter what I d it reverts to 1024 x 768. It's driving me nuts trying to work out what to do. In the meantime I have to make do... which is fine for slow moving ships, but Destroyers moving at full speed I have to aim where I can't even see them. Any help would be gratefully recieved. Thanks in advance

    Screen resolution problems

    Thanks for the advice.... but I don't have the ability to change it to 1024 x 576. It does however have the option of 1017 x 714 (which is weird). It allows this setting, but when activated it reverts to 1024 x 768 and it also goes to 16:9 aspect ratio too. No matter what I set... it reverts to 1024 x 768

    Recreating battles of WWII

    If we are to have historical battles can we have Mers-el-Kébir.... All RN ships are allowed to sink French ships with no penalty
