Isn't ship locking going to favor the bigger clans ( again )? And why 10-10, why not 12-12 or 7-7?

I dismiss anyone's opinion regarding game mechanics or class balancing when they hide their stats, and for good reason. That has nothing to do with stat bashing, but someone who only plays BB's for instance can not comment on other classes being OP ( omg nerf fires they kill my BB!!@#!111eleven ). Or someone who comments on game balance on high tiers, but who only has a tier VI. Or people who just don't understand the current game mechanics, how can I take those serious when trying to 'introduce new more fair mechanics'? Everyone is entitled their own opinion, but how serious I take that opinion is for me to determine.

https://eu.wargaming.net/support/tickets -> submit a ticket with support, preferably including a DxDiag output. I don't have an azerty keyboard so I never had this issue. but support should be able to help you out.

Uhm I trust OP when he has any valid points or suggestions will just post them since he will be able to distinguish between this 'joke' post and something actually contributing. edit: Come on, it was a joke which semi backfired. don't make it into more then it is

You said you checked your settings but I still got to ask.. If it doesn't work -> run launcher -> options -> file integrity check Then report back. Also, if you have mods installed. try running in safe mode first to exclude those as possible source.

There was a time when threads from _x_Archeron_x_ ( or one of his alts ) got those replies as well. But that had nothing to do with his name, but his content. Now he posted a topic which actually has good content, as in a very valid mention of certain recent gameplay affecting stuttering, and no one has bashed him in that thread. http://forum.worldofwarships.eu/index.php?/topic/57744-excessive-stuttering/page__fromsearch__1 There is no 'toxic community', well ofc there are people who like to be negative more then positive just as in real life but I don't see many of them posting. ps: seems that in the 'other thread' the guy posting isn't in the BB but in the CA ( Buddy ) beneath it. Not that that changes anything though

Remove your mods? if not working -> run launcher -> options -> file integrity check start game in safe mode ( disables all mods ). Then report back.

Karlsruhe guns are great, for it's tier off course Better AP then VMF DD's, well that is why I was/am looking forward to them 128mm ruins my wet dreams...

He was hugging the blue line when the battle was just started and there was only one ship sunk in the game, and it's a domination battle... so someone made a joke that if you push that line hard enough you might break through and reach the ocean map. Yes, bashing right According to you we should only post if we agree with the notion of the OP? And only if we also think it's 'funny' and nothing else on his screenshot is worth pointing out? Sorry, that is just not how it works. And again, I think you need to work on your definition of bashing. edit: The guy didn't ask a question, he tried to get some laughs out of people and he did. Mission successful, but it has NOTHING to do with this thread.

I been looking forward to seeing how these will be implemented, they won't benefit from the usual DD perks so they will have to be balanced accordingly.

I find the comment about blue line hugging much more humorous then the image of a 'submerged' ship, and I can't see this 'bashing' you talk of. Well, I see bashing of someone who made an at least as funny remark as OP did, getting bashed over it, which is really really sad.

blub blub blub blub

Look at the map, much more interesting then post #43242 about submerged ships. Game just started, only one ship dead on both teams and he is already hugging that blue line.

There are only two types of catapult planes, scouts which extend fire range and change perspective when in binocular view, and fighter planes which will engage enemy planes as primary use. I use my fighter plane when I know a DD is close as the plane can spot the DD and more importantly his torpedo's sometimes a little earlier as well. The scout plane has a wider circle then the fighter plane.

This! End of discussion. The amount of actual damage taken from fires is FAR FAR FAR less then let's say AP damage or even just HE damage or torpedo's. Fires are NOT the thing which kills BB's, not even close.

As above, SSD so no I'd rather not

I don't agree with this, it sounds nice but it's not not universally true at all. If your ship is a BB and the enemy are all cruisers without torpedo's and you're close to their cap, it doesn't buff anything but your chances of forcing them into close range brawling engagements which favor you. If you're in a gunboat ( with bad torps ) you are at a disadvantage by the 8km render distance, as you can't duck and weave at 8km like you can at 12km or more. Sure, on the other hand, if you can rush a BB who has his guns pointed the wrong side in that gunboat, even your bad torps will come in handy. There are cases where 'brain' actually plays a large part, but there are also aspects which favor one over the other.

A carrier can see with his planes up to 3km, not 8km like ships. As others pointed out, that means you will start being shot down by AAA long before you can see the thing shooting at you. Carriers are not the class which benefits the most, brawlers benefit the most. And with brawler I mean anything which has an incredibly high alpha strike ( BB's vs cruiser or anything with torpedo's against anything which can't avoid them ). The one's who suffer the most are those who rely on DoT ( Damage Over Time ) and not getting shot back. Indeed. That is why they listen to reason and they have storms. Which might be tweaked a bit here and there, but since most of us seem to enjoy them, WG is actually improving the game. Your points are valid, but it seems people like the random element a bit. And since this random element is the same for everyone ( well except as noted before, it affects different ships in different way/severities ) it's also not really unfair. ^^

Well tbh, for the use as I just described you should set it to private + sharable through a link. Then you can ask people to look at your profile and give them a link, while others without the link won't be able to see them. But really, I play quite some games and I do not recognize this 'flaming' behavior being so abundant ( or even sporadic ). Maybe WoT has given me a very thick skin Also, please report flaming as often as you can, they will eventually run into chat bans ( I heard there are even people with a permanent chat ban ). edit: with the 'rotten apples' chat banned, there might be a lot less need for hiding once's profile, since I don't believe it's very widespread.

Hey check my profile, I got 59% solo wr and 68% division win rate No one will say it doesn't help But you can already see that ( ow I am using a browser extension which shows solo and division results, but all the 3rd party sites also do this since it's part of WG's stats api. The comment was not aimed at not winning more, but at what the use of having your profile visible can be. People can give you better advice on what you might be doing wrong based on the numbers in your profile, though again the 'results' are not always conclusive. I also like gameplay more between tier 4 and 8, I don't play enough high tier games atm to be familiar enough with the change in meta to make it very enjoyable edit: Absolutely! But do you see that actually in game, in WoWs? I played WoT in the past week and boy did I get reminded that the WoWs community is so much better in comparison

This is the thing; people blame their stats but that has nothing to do with it in almost all cases. It's their gameplay, or their total lack of. It has nothing to do with being obsessed about stats, it's playing the game for fun. And it is not fun when at tier 6 you still got cruisers which see an enemy Minekaze at 5km going for one of their BB's and yet still continue to try and set fires on the BB 14km away. Or to see someone in your team giving the full broadside off their ship for no reason. This has nothing to do with statistics, though yes it will off course show in them. Hiding stats solves nothing at all, improving them does. Or trying to improve them as much as possible. The times I been called 'noob' or told to 'git gud' or 'l2p' by sub 50's who I kindly ask why they did something which is going to lose me a certain game FAR outweights the few times I ever seen someone get told to uninstall because he has bad stats ( without any other prior words being spoken ). 20%,,, you scrub! <checks his signature> Runs and hides Yeah.. that proofs nothing. Your profile might show why you end up as last against multiple ships ( or might not.. ). Maybe you play to passive and don't support your team properly?

Again, you got to look at the overlap: tier 2 ship has II and III and the tier 3 ship has III and IV, both have III. "Each ship has a certain combat tier assigned to it. It determines the maximum level of enemy and ally ships that can be encountered in the battle." http://wiki.wargaming.net/en/Battle_Mechanics_(WoWS)

Same here, microlag in bino view, normally I would first blame my mods but I been running vanilla since the last patch and it has been pretty steady. Outside of binocular view I have not noticed it to the point where it interferes with gameplay, in binocular view it does as it messes up getting a proper lead while snapshotting targets. It is worse with higher player count on the server. edit: Had some really bad games tonight with micro stuttering but the player count on server was low with 11k at the time, and pingplotter shows a nice flat stable latency.
