Well we always get the free bonus codes with premium time and Emden's and the likes, even if not officially they are always posted and shared. I wish I could attend gamescom, I can't due to economic reasons ( yeah, those reasons ). And while I don't need all the lima ships to complete a collection ( btw.. check RU 'collector' account status benefits... ) I would like the VMF battleship. I hope she comes to EU at some point for everyone, but if Gamescom is the only place it would be possible to get it I will curse the fact that it's given out so randomly selectively and in limited fashion.

MrConway is also no slouch, I'm not that sure about Tuccy himself though... or Kandly, or many of the other community coordinators. edit: just kidding, he's not a baddie iirc..

Look, there are bonus codes which are given at most events, those are supposed to be shared ( they will become inactive at some time automatically ). These codes give free premium time, sometimes a few doubloons or some low tier reward ship which was given earlier to most people anyway. But ship codes are personal codes, and tbh I never seen this organized on public forum before ( though I'm 200% convinced this happens at every big event, it's just hidden from public view ). No, I think the key words are 'gift shop'. No transactions of in game assets is allowed outside of the gift shop. Which would make the request of OP break the rule. The key question would be how WG would choose to re enforce it, as I think the intent of the term is to be able to go after 3rd party commercial parties ( trying to make money selling items, or acting as a marketplace for people to sell stuff amongst themselves ). Maybe WG EU could spoil us ( forumites ) a bit during the event and share some of the codes here @Tuccy

Dude, don't ever expect anything else as reaction from 'news' from a blog which asked ST members to translate articles for him about leaks That doesn't have anything to do with you, but with Sebastian. Sorry if you got caught unaware, that blog is the biggest joke I know. And yeah I read that before, but it didn't to me read at all like 'toxic IFHE clouds' hence my initial reaction. Anyway, it wasn't personal. UFR used a dual chappy + MK in combination with additional smokes from a Benson to crawl across the maps sweeping clean anything they could hit. Until the finals that is.

So when are you going to enter KoTS?

Why link to that blog, it's not like there aren't any credible sources I hope Btw, that quote implies a totally different meaning than what you posted. It doesn't mean WG are worried about 'toxic IFHE clouds', that's something a BBaby would claim. It said that battleships in smoke aren't the only problem, that DoomSnail is also an issue.

I think it's safe to assume at this point that this request doesn't break any ToS as I seen @Kandly read and not comment on it earlier edit: ofc that can also mean she is not sure so she didn't want to comment at this point. If it's allowed and I hope it is, maybe people interested as well as people going could post their names in a public list. Well either that or WG could just give out the codes to us forumites unable to go to Gamescon ( considering how much off a loyal playerbase we been ).

It's OMNI's speciality right, flanking and getting crossfire positions on enemy ship concentrations so it kind of went a bit like I expected. DoomSnail™ is a concept which doesn't work on certain maps ( or needs different positioning ). Not taking anything away from UFR as they showed some very consistent and high quality gameplay, and I like them trying a new concept ( especially one which brought them this far, must be doing something right ;) ). Also, about the 'BB can't angle run or push' argument: BB's other option is positioning such that it's not a big issue to start with ( which means BB's should always maximize their efforts to position themselves such that there is a DD to torp possible DoomSnail clouds, or a radar or sneaky hydro destroyer to light them up ). If that's not possible, it just means your team played bad or the enemy played well. If other classes can have 'tough luck' situations, why shouldn't battleships?

Check reqruitment topic.

1. it's fine to not care about performance indicators / statistics, it's even fine to hide them if you think it's better for you. 2. performance indicators / statistics do not lie. You are not very good with CV's not even in your recents ( https://eu.warships.today/player/513093358/KHS01 we can see recent games here ). 3. can people stop you from playing CV's even while you're bad in them -> no they can't. But they can and will be salty about it, since bad CV's are a real issue in the game due to how influential especially high tier carriers are. ps: hiding your stats won't remove the reactions from people, in fact some people might even get triggered more by private profiles.

@DJ_Die is this true? Are you really playing like a true SCRUB? Did you lick enough windows today, or do we need to inspect that tongue of yours?! Anyway, happy to read you're improving your gameplay @KHS01 if Die was is a cruiser it sounds like he was playing them as intended. If he was in a battleship you can name and shame him though

@Ofenkartoffel Link? I read WG doesn't like smoke camping BB's. Also, UFR's DoomSnail™ got countered pretty hard in the finals ;)

Close free speech, I don't like the message! Sorry, but no. You can hide your own personal statistics from everyone, just go the profile page click on the eye and set it to private.

I don't think this is necessarily false, but it's not a 'external' bug it's just some sloppy coding which causes lag in the detection mechanics. I don't think it's actually being 'exploited' by players, but it does influence players because they might be spotted by an enemy without their client being aware ( so no notifications ). Either that or people been getting more lucky with predictive/blind shots. edit: Ow and btw, not many people knew in the past that if a target get's unspotted but you had a target lock, you regain the lock for longer than displayed in the hud. If you fire within a short time after the ship get's unspotted you afaik still don't suffer from the normal no target lock dispersion increase. So maybe more people are also starting to shoot at targets which just gotten unspotted, adding to this feeling of spotting mechanics being 'wonky'.

Yeah they tend to engage more with community, I also feel this is a good thing as it breeds goodwill. Edit: I miss BBV though, I really do. We will forever refer to the closing of threads as a 'vukkening'

I think his point was that there are WORSE players, and he is right. That also means that insulting him, which I admit I would do happily on TS when we're playing and someone costs us a victory, isn't helping him to get better or he would probably be unicum by now. The only reason I got better after people told me I was bad is because they didn't stop there, they also told me things to do. It was even so that I would ask certain people ( who I knew were decent players ) in chat after they died to watch my gameplay and give me advice. I NEVER see this happen anymore ( well maybe in clans/communities, but can you imagine it in randoms / between random people ). Smaller communities tend to have lesser issues with ego's. At least OP admits to not being the best players, he is not the problem in game it's those who are not very good but don't realize it is their own fault and not some magic MM bias, cheats or hacks. That is also what he said, if good players want to influence bad players, it doesn't work through insults. And yes, I'm the same guy who posted that thingy about mouth breathing ........ monkeys playing the game. edit: and ofc right when I posts this I read this.. MM is random, given enough games no one get's significant enough differences in performance through sheer 'luck'. The only way to 'cheat' win rate is playing in divisions, and since this is visible in your profile it's a non issue :)

Oops see above

https://eu.warships.today/player/536191797/stanislaw49 -> this is the enemy CV in that match, the one feeding him all his planes ;) Anyway, OP already said he is not a good player, no need to keep telling him something he already knew. And yes, the enemy CV player is better at not being good at the game, so that explains the match results.

You're scared off mods, even after our local overlord Tuccy has already walked the catacombs described in this topic? Trust me btw, this thread is probably already monitored as it's the longest recruitment thread and also the most active still. I think they fear we might be preparing to take over server

I pm'd @Nohe21 the link between destroyers and video posted with the 'little girls' right after he posted that, also asked him if he knew Takao ( from image ). I hope I didn't scare him too much

I do remember that even posting codes to give away ( not event codes but personal codes ) is not allowed. I assume that even asking for it to be done through pm's falls under the same rule. But hey you got some interest out maybe you will get a pm already... though I think you're better of just first asking for people going there and then seeing if there is someone you know and trust and try to make an arrangement with him ( outside of public forum ). Not sure that is 100% legal but I'm 100% convinced you wouldn't be the only one and since WG won't 'know' there is probably no objection in reality from their side.

I agree that it's the evasion tanking more than the damage alone which makes Khaba good. That's an excellent point.

So if you downplay the damage, how do you explain the winrate? Is Khaba your most played ship, with a few games more than Minekaze?

S_O actually said perhaps even sooner, as there is no reason to hold her back. Also, people might jump on her even more if she is released prior to the full line edit: that last part wasn't part of the original quote though ;) edit: I might be actually mixing up Nelson with Vanguard ... darn I'm so not sure right now

Yeah the old tier 8 I liked a lot, decent wr and damage. My win rate in the tier 9 is terrible in comparison and while there is more hp in the matches my average damage has gone down. I wish I could grind Khaba with the old tier 8 :D
