They said the playerbase was migrating back to WoT because of the successful sound and physics patch, since it's one company it's normal to expect both games share a large part of their player base. All this doomsday proclaiming is getting rather long in the tooth.. edit: Just as the 'OP' whining. Really, we get it, you think they are OP, because Stalin! And Ru BIAS!

That was what I was referring to in the first part of my comment. And yes, some encouragement / rewards should be added for TB's.

There are obviously more options than those you mention. And yes, more game modes would be nice but we 'just' got team battles and I think they are great ( need tuning though, reward wise and league / queue system ). Don't think CW is feasible right now, I would focus on content and balancing, then on team battle concept and when those are in line with expectation you can use the experience you gained from it for implementing something like strongholds.

Hey this is the public section man, don't disclose the lack of sanity here!!!

Not that I 100% agree with Ghostbuster_ but I also don't agree that bad players will give up, they won't. We all know the sub 40% IS7/E100 players from WoT, and yes we also have them right now already in WoWs. And they are here to stay.

Pleb.. Mine moves

You needed a min amount of posts to get in some stage of the beta I believe, that resulted in a lot of spam type posts. I am glad the EU didn't have this requirement ( during the times I been on board, which is CBT ).

Buying the Chikuma now to fill the gap 19 point commander was good right?

Sounds like you're talking out of experience

You are mistaken, the company does make statements, they are just not on this forum or portal but on their 'home turf'. This is not a new thing, we are lucky to have people doing the translations and frankly yes I would have enjoyed it if WG would actually provide us with them themselves but you can not fault WG EU for it if it doesn't fall within their mandate.

Ow I'm man enough... but only if she promises to not hurt me

You can not use number of games played, those who run a bot farm will just limit their single bot activity to the cut off amount and run another bot in the time remaining. The only effect it would have is making bot accounts progress slower but become more predominant in numbers. There has to be more than the raw number of games played, in game behavior ( which results in average stats ) is the easiest and also the best way imo but it's tricky because there might be some incredibly bad player which this system would flag as bot because of the abysmal performance.

Missed that part, thanks for pointing it out Yes. Making commitments a company can not keep is much worse than not making commitments and coming out with stuff 'when it's ready'. I must admit I am particularly biased towards WWII, I don't have much association with WWI but since you brought it up I must amend myself and say that the battle of Jutland is probably for many people at least as important as any of the WWII naval engagements.

Wait wait I am only told NOW that we get a female staff member.... I was thinking of posting the acronym of g.i.r.l. on the internet but considering she mentioned Texas I shall refrain and pretend to be a well mannered person Welcome aboard, maybe you can make WoWs EU EN CM team great again

It was hinted for a long time Gamescon would be the most logical choice for the GE BB's, but as always no company can make predictions that far in the future because if something goes wrong ( which is entirely plausible since it's a complex process of design and implementation, balance testing and so on ) it would be a PR nightmare. There has not been an official announcement about it so far, so I wouldn't call it confirmed in any sense ( or did I miss something on the last page? ).

I am not here to do other people's homework If you so desperately want to know, it's only 52 pages ( off which a lot can be discarded since they predate the wrongly formulated announcement ). Hey I feel that don't get me wrong, I am looking forward to some RN ships myself because I expect them be interesting gameplay wise ( yeah, I don't care that much about historical implications, this is a game and an arcade one at it so I don't expect the games to be like real naval battles ( else carriers would sink all BB's from 3 maps away ). I never said nor will say that VMF should have higher priority, I have said it's understandable since the RU cluster is their mainstay. I also never said RN shouldn't come now, I said it was never promised to come before expanding on the other existing countries. If people would take into consideration how much trouble WG has had with GB's tank archives, it's not far fetched that getting the specifications and details they want to apply to the RN models is also not something without troubles. I am assuming, all the banter aside, that WG knows that the RN played a big part in the European theatre of war, but the USN - IJN fleet engagements have all been off a larger scale and more people worldwide will have heard about Guadalcanal and Midway for instance then about battles fought in European waters between European nations ( with the exception of the sinking of the Bismarck most likely ). That is what I meant. Sorry, I should have worded it better, they were 'paper' because the designs weren't fielded but they were legit designs and not something WG made up.

[edited] Yes, because Atago is weak right

Ow yeah I forgot to add abysmal performance in their 100 + battles per day ofc. And 'abysmal performance' is a figure of speech, when applied to myself then the entire last week I been playing abysmally bad so I should get captcha But seriously, this captcha thing based on X number off games will not work ofc. They will just grind a lot more accounts for less games per day to get around it, the actual number of bot games will not change, not unless the in game detection of bots by the automated system goes up ( you can't rely on manual reports alone, not with the very limited amount of reports per day ). The only way this would work would be making an system capable off sorting the very bad players from the bots so it can auto ban them ( the bots.. I know a lot people want the terribad's banned as well but WG will never ban people because they are bad and rightfully so, they are the main source of easy free damage for the average player which is in turn food for the better players ).

I would rather not play with bots unless I on accident selected PVE, can we meet somewhere in the middle plox? Like, only give captcha's to people with abysmal performance over a long period of time?

As I SAID already, you get MM according to the TOP TIER in your division, in your example that would be tier 7 ( Colorado ) which can meet tier 5-9 ( while top tier in those matches are 7-9 ). The enemy T5 CV will just curse the hell out of your division ( and rightfully so ) if you pull him into a mismatch against an Essex or Taiho ( in case of two cv's per team those are the top tier CV's it can meet ) and even without other carriers good luck attacking an Iowa or Baltimore with tier 5 planes. Of you can get a T7 match, but that would be LUCK, nothing more. Good luck, I hope your anecdotal evidence will support the actual game mechanics

Typo's happen. Doesn't change the point. I am 99.9% certain in one of the follow up Q&A's it was clarified that it was a typo but I am to lazy to go search and employ the 'GIB RN NOA' squad to do their own homework.

That DOES NOT imply Royal Navy is coming this year, it ONLY IMPLIES Royal Navy is the next country to be added, and also explicitly mentions that adding other lines to existing countries will occur as we all knew GE BB's are expected to come around Gamescon. edit: MrFingers, on 08 April 2016 - 09:58 AM, said: it's not that far-fetched to guesstimate Exactly, nothing more than conjecture.

Bull[censored], the division is treated as it's highest tier exactly to prevent what you're describing. This only means the enemy carrier will have the same tier as your division mate, but it won't make sure he is top tier. You might up fighting Lexington's with that Bogue if there are two carriers per team, will be mighty fun and 'trollin' right

Don't be, it's the 'RN NAO or game is doomed' squad doing their usual.

In reliability, nah it's not better, in quantity, sure but then again most of the 'news' from there is actually scrapped from this and other forums and dev blogs
