Hi KaLeuWillenbrock, just fyi you can attach files to your posts here on the forum directly, just use the full editor ( 'More reply options' ) and it's below the text area where you can browse for files and upload them, then you can add any of those files to your post ( images will show as clickable thumbnail, other files appear as 'link' ). Like this: ->

I think Aslain is using an xml injector which can inject dependencies per mod if required, if not such a tool wouldn't be hard to write but afaik the installer already does it that way. The problems I guess arises if the mods use duplicate controller entries for different mods? Just to get this straight, this should be possible imo: all you need for a mod are the modded files and an xml file which consists of keys which need to be either added/edited in original xml. The installer should ideally extract the base xml file so for each update you don't need to supply your own 'base' file. Then this base file is edited on a per mod basis, adding and/or editing controller keys as described in mod's included 'diff' file? Unlike preferences.xml WG seems to actually adhere to xml standards in their files ( try reading preferences file with an xml parser and you get errors for the inclusion of restricted chars in keys ), and xml files are pretty easy to program some tool for.

Aslain the 'navigator' mod has been updated, it's available on the RU forum under 'alt_hud' mod thread. It was brought to my attention again due to this thread ( also holds links if you need them ). I been playing with it, it's stable as far as I can tell, so I would please like to request it being included in the pack again

Tier 5 is supposed to be the fun tier, all classes are in the game ( ok ok, this goes for 4 as well ) and a lot of people tend to play it 'for fun' including me. Which makes it odd if we suddenly wouldn't have a sufficient player count in queue for tier 5 games causing more tier v's to be uptiered in battles. I don't think WG would let that happen without trying to correct it, since it is also the tier where the 'real grind' begins to take shape. Tier I to IV are so quick to get past, we need a good environment on tier 5 to keep players interested.

He played zero games in anything but low tier IJN DD's, I would recommend to not comment on that level of contribution It's like me telling some people on a golf forum which driver is best for a certain hole, while I a> don't golf and b> don't know jack about them

Is it strange if I suddenly feel an urge to buy the New Orleans I unlocked ages ago I think I had that covered till this morning, it's cleanly shaved now edit:

Sorry guys I try to clean it asap but sometimes I can't be arsed ( and strangers123 been slacking a bit so it's mostly ... exclusively me who keeps the spam away ). I've switched captcha already once for a more secure signup process, I think this one is no worse then the others we had. Basically, if you're really bothered that much and want to help clean it pm me I'll talk about it with strangers123 and you can be our forum slave I mean our first senior moderator ( it's senior by default, because being the first.. get it.. not trying to give it a more fancy name or anything here ). edit: when I say I can't be arsed. I mean I get notifications even on my mobile.. but using the admin panel on my phone goes a bit to far

And yet I been melted by New Orleans captains in a 1v1 situation in my Hipper more then once, so shush I got a right to consider myself noobish

I said that in my games so far I didn't see any big issues, that is my subjective opinion and does not constitute of a claim of there being no issues at all. I even hinted at these issues being present here -> I am convinced WG monitors this closely, and has more data on it then we do as players. Considering my limited numbers off games last week I might not have seen the issue as much hence my post. I do know not to play tier 8's at certain times, which is kind of old news as it's always been a bit like that.

But.... the point is: even if you post pictures of 10 matches back to back, it's only proof off your individual matchmaking. I have played my tier 5's, 7's, 8's and tier 9 and I didn't see any real issues with matchmaking today so far. I sad 'even anecdotal would be better at this time' for a reason, you should know by now that anecdotal 'evidence' doesn't exist ( as in, it's a fallacy: anything anecdotal is disqualified as evidence of anything ). So even my good mm ( so far ) doesn't proof there is no issue, you can't base your claim of 'terrible MM for tier 8's' ( or New Orleans in particular ) just on your own experience. You need to combine multiple mm results from a multitude of sources before you can begin claiming it is actual indicative off a general trend. What you can also do, is say that it's not unexpected if the new MM rules have effects in which certain tiers 'suffer' more then others. But again, this needs extensive data to collaborate, and I am certain that WG is monitoring this exact data. WG doesn't want 'problematic tier's' any more then you, it's costs them players who might give up due to frustration level.

I got plenty of tier 8's, or are you claiming only NO get's this special matchmaking edit: I just met 22cm in my Tirpitz... Looks like good matchmaking to me

We already have this, sadly none of the participants in this thread is signed up ( and frankly, last event was cancelled due to lack of attendance ( yes, me included ) ). http://forum.worldofwarships.eu/index.php?/topic/45996-historical-battles-general-thread-they-are-back/ edit: well ok it's not a league it's separate individual engagements.. but it's close enough If attendance rate's go up it might even grow into something more elaborate

Can you actually offer any proof instead of mindlessly blattering the same thing over and over? Like in, even anecdotal would be better at this point.

I will never put my ship between a pinkie and the enemy, not before I can judge him to be not a liability to my own hit pool. This actually makes sense and would allow turning off the messages about collision damage leaving just the big damage events. +1 for limiting collision damage reports to those involved, but 'exchanging ammunition' should never happen on accident ( collisions as well... had some 4x% division yesterday in two cruisers which both kept bumping into my Dunq, it was highly annoying. They kept saying sorry but... maybe there should be a minimum level of collision damage before the warning starts to pop up.. ). And any serious team damage message ( and btw, collisions are not 'harmful' in that they deal damage but because they limit manoeuvrability... you can grief someone harder by not allowing him to turn then you can with a single torpedo... and that's saying something... )

I believe he didn't out right, he dismissed it more or less and said something like everyone should make up their own conclusions?

For that reason alone I hope and expect you to never get what you 'want'. I'm not even sure but this is more like a troll post then anything. WG doesn't care that you don't want to see those messages, if you don't like them it's maybe because you see them a lot? Well if they annoy you, that's the reason they are there. And you should care about pink players, they are most likely actively ruining your playing experience either through malice or just stupidity. edit: even if you don't cause them yourself and you're getting annoyed by them, maybe you should do like everyone else and come to the forum to complain about the behavior off all those horrible people who fill up your screen with messages about team damage

Thanks! I'll try to take this into hearth

Well I have protanopia and sometimes I would have problems with the pink planes as well, using the slider fixes this. I do also have to adjust to the 'new' colorscale of everything on your screen, I actually expected it to only alter UI elements and not change the entire game. But, as I am really colorblind, it is also more likely I am now finally seeing the game in the same way as people who are not colorblind are seeing it.

Darn it's just for teams... any teams who are interested and who got a spot free?? edit: actually, I guess playing against the best can be seen as excellent training... I need to make sure I can get enough people interested enough but I will try to gather a team from SGWA ( + some externals ). Thanks for organizing this, and sorry the above it was not meant as hidden recruitment request ;)

Did you try using the Protanopia slider and see if there is a setting which 'fixes' this for you ( Protanopia = red / green colorblindness ).

The reason it is compared with BB's is because in game she is supposed to be one, she fits a BB slot in the matchmaker. But she can not tank the damage versus another battleship, which is her weak point. And unlike real life, she can't exactly choose to not engage a superior force. That is why I said it will not be a good win rate padding machine when played solo, but it is certainly a rather unique ship with some fun qualities ( and challenging 'deficits' ).

Can you teach me how to be an Hipster plox, I am not doing well so far and I found it annoying as hell. As soon as people are not stupid and angle I loose every engagement ( maybe I should switch to HE quicker )..

Damnit I keep confusing it with USS Buffalo ( USN-110 laid down but cancelled ) which is a Fargo class which is an improved Cleveland ( aka a CL due to six inch guns )
