If you're pink, just play super carefull. It's not to be fixed, having to play extra careful is actually a good thing as it forces people to think more. It's easy to not get rammed, give each other enough space. Something which is actually an issue, is secondaries. AI controlled, they don't take account of allies in their life of fire, so if you're pink and in a brawl with allies, you might even be 'better off' turning your secondaries off. I once killed an allied BB because my secondaries put him on fire right after he used his heal and repair, now that's quite the source of some salt let me tell you that How could you use a ship which is still in battle? If you have to wait a long time, go play another ship. Imagine if you could just rush forward to die, and jump into another battle right away with the same ship. Would be heaven for botters/terrible players just suiciding hoping their team will win for them so they can leech some XP, and that as many times as possible in the least amount of time ( jumping right into battle with that same ship after dying ). No, I'm very happy this isn't possible.

Yes, I had a life changing religious experience But seriously, in the games I met him he never came last, 48% wr is not good but certainly far from the worst I seen. As to his replay, carrier replays are hard to watch since you can't see the mouse cursor ( can you? ) so idk what he was trying to do but he did not land planes even while they were circling his carrier. Later on in the replay he did got ( not get's.. wake up mtm ) put on fire and he repairs, and after that his planes start landing again. So his description seems to match what I saw ( for what that is worth ).

[edited] It's never to late for a good meme! ps: meme ofc not directed at you

I don't carrier, but yes I did dl the replay and he does fail to land planes ( they just keep circling ), and yes at the end of the game he get's put on fire and only after repairing he was able to land planes again. But I had some issues watching the replay, and I can't really make out which controls he is using at which time so it's hard to say for sure what he was trying to do. As to this thread, I know I made fun of SBF as well guys, but he is not that terrible. Infact he seems to get close to being quite average in win rate. I remember being in some battles with him and in none of them he finished last in the team. Just saying, I seen much worse players in game, and at least he is trying Besides, there are worse things then opening the forum and finding a fresh SBF thread, it's usually good for the popcorn consumption

Mhm ye I hear Warthunders MM is currently so darn good terrible But I want to ask, you ask for an option to create clans like in WoT, but you are already in a clan. Don't you mean to ask: when will WG add clan support to WoWs? Or do you want ( and I would agree! ) that you think it should be possible to be in different clans for different titles?

If you have lag, try to pinpoint the point of failure by using pingplotter/WGCheck -> https://eu.wargaming.net/support/kb/articles/50 You can use the result in your ticket to support ( or forum.. ).

We already have free cam, you can activate it with rctrl + rshift + backspace. Move camera with arrow keys, pgup pgdwn for elevation, mousewheel for zoom. The spectator cam on PT is an much enhanced version of this.

About WG 'overhyping' something, that's a bit of a low blow. I remember advertisement for AW saying they will give everyone a Type59 ( creating a big hype ), yet failed to mention the tank was actually quite shite afaik. Bit unfair just trying to make it look it's a WG thing, when it seems to be normal marketing. I got the Tuccybana, an extra port slot and some flags, and I didn't even play for it. In fact, the first two weeks of GNB I almost didn't play at all.

I failed to reproduce the behavior I let the game generate a new preferences file and set custom key bindings for HE and AP, setting minimap options, exited client. Started a replay, all settings were still as set, file wasn't reset either. Then did the same without custom keybindings, and got identical behavior. The only thing I noticed is that the xml parses wows uses seems to be extensible, with that I mean it doesn't throw errors on standard xml markup errors, which notepad++ does throw errors on, and where a browser for instance also would complain ( both at different locations btw ) that the xml is invalid. As I didn't have the error to start with, I might not be the right person to run this test, but I was fairly convinced it was likely related to custom keybindings so I had to give it a try. Sadly it was in vain. Actually thinking back, I think I did have the issue once but I 'solved' it with generating a new preferences.xml. Maybe, _Ew, if you are no longer getting the problematic behavior, the fix would be for people experiencing the issue, to start from a fresh configuration file.

That only applies if the XP system is flawless and it isn't Where is the assisted damage for DD's and CV's for spotting? What gives BB's XP for tanking like they should instead of just for farming damage? And those are just two simple examples. I'm not saying it is a bad system, it's a great system and for RB's I agree it should be there. But it can't be implemented in current form for random battles and not cause good or better players to play less for game objectives and more for top XP spot. And yes, there can be big differences. When playing for the victory, taking risks is an undeniable part of gameplay, when I would play for top XP I would never risk my HP for an ally or to give my team an edge in the strategic engagements ( trying to draw fire away for instance ). edit: I agree it is not black and white, my point is that the system would imho not be suited for randoms due to being to easilly being abused. If the system is reworked I would support extending this to random battles, just as I got no issues with removing a star from someone who falls below a certain percentage of the teams average. Just taking the lowest scoring player is not fair, sometimes everyone just plays well and it's the luck of the draw ( spawns ) who will reap which rewards leading to X amount of XP for them. But someone who did receive less XYZ% of the team's average did perform below the level of the others. Yes, being unlucky sucks, but this should even out over time ( though I would fear DD's would suffer the most due to more often dying quicker when trying to cap eating some random fish in the process ).

*No Mister_Greek, trust me I'll make it to the end have some trust* I followed Noodle's advice

Idk man, top XP in domination is hard to go to anything but a DD, top XP in other game modes is more 'random'. Also, in randoms you got 11 team members to use as meatshield, I don't want this in randoms as it will move the current static gameplay of tier 9-10 to all the tiers. Why push and get stuck in, when staying alive doing damage over time is more rewarding? Why should I support cap pushes, when I can sit back and farm damage? Nah, in ranked it is meant to lower the frustration of having small teams filled with bad players/afk players/players doing stock grinds of bottom tier ships in RB's and so on. We don't need it for randoms, even if the same can apply there it's 1v6 allies or 1v11 allies and that makes all the difference.

You're obviously right in general but try telling that to those BB's please My comment wasn't that much about if it worked what they were doing, but what they thought they could pull off. And yes I <3 that you don't lose a star when coming first in the team, it's

Sharing the blame huh

^^ yes I heard this before, sometimes a patch creates issues with the preferences file and regenerating a new one is mandatory for settings to persist normally. Sadly, I don't think it's exactly known when this happens or why exactly, as some people don't have any issues and others do ( probably ofc related to the amount of and which if any custom settings are entered ). I didn't have any issues with last couple of patches though, but as I said I am no longer using custom keybinding ( I was during let's say CBT, but I 'learned' quickly they could cause more trouble then they were worth to me ). I couldn't sleep, so came back to pc but not feeling like doing the procedures myself right now to proof my hypothesis, as I said I will do so tomorrow as I'm fairly certain it's related to custom keybindings ( still ) and I hope that if I make a concise report on behavior it would lead to this issue getting resolved once and for all ( we can hope right ).

I did write 'capital F is important' for a reason Yeah the in game chat system could use some love ( missing messages when coming out of a battle, not always seeing everyone who is in the room ). And yes, also the search system probably ps I don't know rottenscotty, if he is another forumite you should drag him to the proper channel. ;)

This is how I would test it: Rename/delete preferences, let game generate new one. Set options in game without custom keybinding and observe behavior ( minimap circle missing? , configuration file resetting? ). Rename/delete preferences, let game generate new one. Set options in game and add custom keybinding and observe behavior ( minimap circle missing?, configuration file resetting? ). If those two behaviors differ, it is the keybindings which messes it up. You could even try if it's a particular keybinding by doing the above with every custom setting. Sorry I would do it myself but it's late and I don't feel like starting the game now to test it, I will do it tomorrow if needed

Average win rate is not that meaningful in ranked, unless it would be from those players ranked battles only anyway... Show me a screenshot of a team with 30% average win rate ( redact names, no naming and shaming ) I got the slight feeling you're exaggerating Even the worst bot seems to be able to get above 30% wr due to getting carried ;)

Besides the Forumites channel, SGWA might be something you could take a look at. We try to help new player ease into the game and become better players. En ja, we hebben ook Nederlanders daar ;) ( And yes, we do have Dutchies there as well : ) ).

You can redact those ofc ( but yes, I should have mentioned that ). Keybindings have always been wonky, try it without changing those and let me know if it helps. Changing fps cap shouldn't influence it. If the bug doesn't occur when not setting custom keybindings, we at least know where the blame lies.

Hi waxx25, I normally enjoy reading your posts and you built quite a lot of confidence that you would be 'correct' perhaps not in how you say something ( ) but why you say it well I almost always am in full agreeance. Yet this time, you're calling a > 60% wr player 'bad' ( to use a less harsh term ) and that confused the heck out of me? Is there some bad blood or something, as looking at the guys profile I wouldn't think right away: o shiet not in my team plox. On topic: the only downside to this is that it rewards kamping BB's who just hide behind an island trying to only keep few ships capable of shooting at it, while they try and farm damage without supporting their team actually playing for the objectives. So they let the team die, not having the BB's tank put's your team at a severe disadvantage, and still end on top of XP because of their farming. I seen multiple people post before game that 'it's lost' and then seen them farm damage in order to not lose a star. Luckily, if you're a semi decent player and with some luck,you can still outscore those camping window lickers in a DD as long as you cap/defend some points, it's harder in a CA/CL because without BB support enemy BB's will eat you alive trying to support your DD's

Never heard of him, you're in the wrong channel. Hit me on ts when you're online so I can send you a channel invite

Take pride Orla, you absolutely murdered my team in ranked earlier and I got so much blue ps. I don't really hate you dear

You should be using the Forumites ( capital F important ) channel from Sturmtiger304.

Preferences.xml can be reset if the application thinks it's corrupted ( eg when it fails to read an expected field ). I guess there is something ( some option perhaps ) which everyone who has this issue has set and which causes worldofwarships.exe to decide that the xml is corrupted. It might help if people posted their preferences.xml for cross reference? I don t have this issue, and I got enough ships with AFT and without, it's not related to captain leveling I am quite sure of this. It's almost certainly related to the file being seen as corrupted so if we can find the settings which can cause this behavior it should be easy for the developers to fix it.
