I did ok with FurryTaco before the buffs. it wasn't bad it was just 'worse' then the then strong Omaha and clones.

I voted I played all classes, but most would say AS Bogue isn't a real CV

At least it's available for all the potato's to, unlike Flint which requires people to go through the grinder or ranked battles 3 times

There is no reason to talk about potential advantages in certain situations when it completely kills off the use off concealment. Concealment is an intrical part of this game, even the best BB's are those who take stealth builds to they can close in to their enemies at more optimal engagement ranges before getting engaged.

Island hugging BB's = epitome of static gameplay.

Incoming damage indicator is NOT the same, it's not even CLOSE to being the same. Incoming damage indicator shows direction of a SHOT if it hits you, RDF gives a rough bearing on the closest enemy at all times. If it were the same I wouldn't mind, people can already know from where you shoot because they can see the shells / torpedoes coming in.

It will not make DD's useless, USN DD's would be absolutely game deciding if they use it to hunt down the IJN DD's ( since USN has best concealment after IJN ), they then cap cap and hunt other ships largely uncontested ( well VMF DD's can then hunt them, as long as teams are thinned down and the USN DD's don't have cruiser backup ). It will make DD's and anything which relies on concealment unable to pull off ambushes or undetected flanking, and the longer a game lasts the more useful the skill would be. But not all DD's will be useless, not even IJN DD's as there 'might be games without enemy USN DD division who use the skill and know what their doing'..

But then they should finally rename it back to World of Battleships so I can uninstall the game and go play something else As long as they call it World of Warships there should not be a focus being made on creating a class which is easier to play then the others, it's just not a good gameplay decision and will bite WG in the behind in the long run. Don't get me wrong, playing a BB really good is not easy mode, it's actually perhaps even one of the hardest classes to do really well in. But if you're joe average, BB's are the most relaxing class to play since they are 'forgiving' ( in that sniping joe's don't get deleted that early in the game, allowing them to blame their statistical performance on 'bad teams' and so on ).

So make them harder to play instead of easier and easier and easier and ... well you get the point

Makes sense in a way, but not when taking into account that the chat abuse reports are not manually checked. Anything so open to abuse shouldn't be incremental imho, as the abuse also increases incrementally. Consider if it were as I said, and the Shima was able to give him a chat ban just on his own, that surely wouldn't be desired. That being said, I heard people tell me they report everyone who asks to report someone else for chat abuse so maybe he was reported by more people ( still makes the system bad though ).

Is you gotten a chat ban once the threshold for the next one is lower, and lower, and lower. Incremental decrease in amount of reports needed. At least that's what I been told and it fits my own experiences.

But he also didn't post anything about forum timeout's or other internet connectivity issues Anyway, WGCheck can run a file integrity check on the game and it also has a network connectivity test. Getting stuck in the loading screen can also happen with faulty mods for instance.

I'm hitting a big motivational obstacle, was finally expanding on the basic curriculum strangers123 set up, especially on the DD part, but it's hard to do when you're not sure the entire metagame could be changed shortly afterwards ( due to implementation of RPF which will dictate meta ). It drains my motivation that this skill might be added despite all the numerous and argumented reasons why it should not. That being said, I do still support the principle that this community should have a place where they can actively learn basics and more advanced stuff if they want, without having to tie himself to a clan. The 'Forumites' chat channel as well as the public WG teamspeak server already provide this on some level though, though less organized off course. So SWGA still has a niche to fill, and I know people / instructors are quite eager to get the ball rolling ( again.. we had a time were we actually had some lessons scheduled but it's 'been awhile' ). Anyway, I can't stand it when I leave things unfinished so I will finish the extended dd curriculum and post it on our forum, on which we can base several short lessons for interested people. A cruiser curriculum would be next, but obviously the carrier lessons can not be prepared by someone who doesn't play them ;) Battleships, well I played a lot while testing and I do have a Yamato, but I feel we got much better instructors around who are better suited for tackling that part. Thanks for your inquiry, knowing that there are people who care is absolutely the best motivation I could have. edit: also, it depends totally on the other people involved, I can't pull this off alone, I'm not that strong with organising stuff ;)

How can he post on the forum when it's his ISP? That being said, OP run this -> https://eu.wargaming.net/support/kb/articles/596 and include it with a ticket to support.

I don't think he would get banned at all, they will just say the team damage is tracked by the automated system and that any abuse of reports will be 'investigated'...

I never force my opinion on anyone, except on 'forum members' who fails to provide proper argumentation for their opinions. Opinions without argumentation are worth less then the stuff which I flush down the toilet. Usually it's only these people who try to discredit my person, so I guess I ruffled your feathers once before and forgot about it. Shows how important I think you or your opinions are, that's what happens when you can't provide any arguments to back them up. I could reply with some nice ad hominem but you're not worth the effort... calling me a tool

I tk'd two people two days ago. First one turned into torpedo's I launched a long time before and he even admitted he turned into them on purpose because 'I was to kill hungry' and he was right, I felt it was my kill as I tanked that BB in my destroyer like a boss and then this scrub comes in at full hp from behind MY smoke screen and sails right between me and the battleship when I even said I was going to torp. So I did it anyway, and it would have been fine if he didn't spot them and made a hard left turn just to grief me. Anyway, I don't really care about that one, I don't even feel those were second line torps as the 'player' admitted he tried to block me from getting the kill ( he failed btw ). Then later I am sailing my Arizona and some 'player' and I use that term loosely, in his no cammo no CE Fuso was constantly sailing next to me so I was getting shot without being spotted, and when I needed to angle the 'player' ( and I REALLY want to use another term here ) blocks me so I take massive damage, get torp'd by a CV because I can't turn, and this 'player' ( omg the temptation is so fecking huge to call him something else ) is still on full hp. So I turn my two front turrets and shoot his citadels for half his hp. Sadly as the first ban, which did worn off before so I was no longer pink in that game, apparently was still active in some way as I immediately took 8k damage in return which killed me. Do I feel bad, heck no I don't, I wish I could have killed that Fuso completely, he deserved it. Not that he would learn, he's probably incapable of such things ( or he wouldn't fecking block me the whole fecking time ). In short OP, thanks for admitting you might have been wrong about something, but stop apologizing for it, there is far more objectionable stuff going on then just being wrong about class balance. Like players who block others and ruin their gameplay enjoyment

And what would that accomplish? Chat ban lasts 24h, they won't process it before it's lifted.

There is a difference between 'whining' ( which the BBabies do for instance when the advanced hydro on Bismarck is replaced with a standard one... Q_Q ) and offering argumentation and reasoning as to why something is bad for the game. If you followed the opinions of the decent and above players, the competitive players, and even the average 'old timers' you would see a tremendous consensus about how bad this skill will be for gameplay. I won't repeat everything here, it's all over the forums and repeating it at nauseam just because some people are to blind to see the truth is not something I will spoil my time on.

How about NO? Adapting to something which kills tactical use of concealment.... edit: Paradoxical statement right there

I said that in the first reply

XVM for WoWs doesn't work/exist atm afaik.

Dude, can you like even afford one edit: I hear there is a discount btw if you're a WG CC

No he hasn't. At least not at any decent level or he would never make such blatantly ignorant statements.
