This. But doesn't have to be left alt, right alt works just as well. alt+enter switches between fullscreen and windowed.

It is nice that there is an exploit, but plane kills should be rewarded more imo just because it encourages actual team work for cruisers to be around battleships. Encouraging team work > ability to exploit dead carriers. Maybe on NA server they all rushed to where the enemy carrier sunk, I never really seen that on EU server, ever.

Super is not useful at the tier ( it is when you play the Atago with your Myoko captain though so I would still get it as you will probably take the captain with you to Mogami and after that Ibuki and Zao ). Aft on IJN is less important I feel, they are not escort cruisers ( or they don't shine as escort cruisers is a better way to put it ) though I still got it on all my high tier captains. Agreed on all the rest though, especially in kitting the ship the way you like to play and not how others recommend to play it ( though following consensus of a few good players probably wouldn't hurt ). I do usually get the -15% for fire and flooding even in cruisers, and I feel it pays off for me but off course it's hard to proof how many times it has really saved me or allowed me to have a bigger impact on the game ).

It server the purpose of immersion and not allowing idiots to just torp from second line or third line as idiots tend to do. Got tits on your Maus?

Yup, even more with equipment.

I reported everyone on the forum with a statistics signature, their either naming and shaming themselves or naming and praising themselves Had a game today with a enemy 2 Yamato and 1 Zao division ( and a shima and some other nasty stuff ) with top players vs our lowly tier 8 division and a single Yamy on our team and a Kharbarovsk. I thought we would lose for sure, not only because of the MM but because of the people in that division ( their leaderboard material, senpai worthy! ). But we won, the division and the shima were on one flank with their entire team on the other side, our division started on that flank but we fell back as we're no match off course. I stayed in Mogami to try and delay as long as possible while the rest joined other flanked and pushed hard and killed the entire flank eventually, fast enough to get back the caps in time to deny them a victory. Only enemy shima lived to tell the tale Mirror matchmaking all the time would get very boring I think, though off course overall the MM should make fair matchups.

Skill based adjustments, how so? To force everyone to 50%? If so, their failing miserably Btw, I play in divisions for a very large part of my games, I don't see any punishment for playing that way

If you right click on worldofwarships.exe and open properties, is there a notice or can't you even open the properties tab? If you can't open properties page, it's still being blocked by your AV, if it opens but says the file is blocked due to unknown origin ( which is windows default message ) there should be a button to unblock the file. It might be that you will need to uninstall and reinstall without that AV active.

I am still counting on my 20 euro's, you're still good for it aren't you?

The system was flawed, it was abusable and actively being abused, but I don't expect the new system to bring about as much positive change to be worth losing the option to -1 obviously stupid and trollish content.

Uninstall Norton and I think your problems will go away. edit: worldofwarships.exe in your screenshot has no icon, this happens when the file is blocked by either windows or your antivirus. Since I don't think Vista would ever block it on it's own, and since I see Norton and know Norton has a bad track record it's a deductive conclusion that Norton is the problem. edit2: If you don't want to get a different AV solution, you could try whitelisting c:\games\world_of_warships in Norton itself.

can't help you with that info, give screenshots of the problem, the folder where you installed wows and wowslauncher log file.

Wait, so you deleted the folder and now you're asking why you get warnings that windows can't find the file? Seriously, delete the short cut ( you already deleted the folder anyway ), download the installer again install the game again. The game doesn't need any special permissions that I am aware off, then again I always work from an admin account and I have UAC turned off. edit: and if I have the 'facts' wrong, please explain more clearly: did you install the game? ( obviously.. ). Did the installer throw any errors? Where did you install the game ( which folder )? If you have an error, post a screenshot of it. Your posts don't make any sense to me.

-1

And posts are not about likes, it's about if the content is actually worth a reply or not. Often times, it was not worth a written reply, hence the -1's for both the trolls and the people asking things which shouldn't be asked. There is no true forumite which has ever 'used a lazy -1' when a written reply would have been more in place. Forum is about content, people not contributing to the quality of said content should be clearly identifiable, and people who are contributing to the qualify of content on this forum should be recognisable as well. The old system created an opportunity for this, the current one caters to trolls and stupid people, because a lazy like by other trolls and stupid people will be given more than true forumites would expend more of their time actually breaking down why trolls are trolls or why stupid people are stupid. See, I had to spend all this time writing this down, something 99% of forumites would not need me to explain, only because I couldn't just give you a -1. edit: You're not 'stupid people' or a troll btw, but your view is something which would get a -1.

The answer is in the question, failed himself to tier 9 with 2k games.

And yet, knowing how to lead is the alpha of being able to influence a match. You can be superior to everyone else with tactical insight, if you can't hit your targets you're useless. So, while bad players won't become good, it allows them to focus their entire mind on not making tactical errors, since the actual dealing damage part is already taken care of by the aim assist. And bad players are mostly bad players because they make those tactical errors. So yes, aim assist has a profound effect on gameplay, it removes some of the 'terribad to bad' players from the gene pool. Even excellent players will be able to use the aim assist to their benefit, though the effect for them would be minimal.

I can tell you what they don't do: decide on the things the community is so riled up about. That alone is enough in my opinion to not point the pitchforks at them. I know what you will say: they are the one's who communicate to us, and as such we have no choice. And in a way you're right, we can't directly approach those who decide those things. But two wrongs don't make a right.

I don't think the community would benefit if you remove the people who imo and experience are heavily invested in this game and it's community. As Von_Chum pointed out, they are not the decision makers.

I don't think I have agreed with you on many things, but you get my like here. Doesn't it read like a kick in the teeth? Like in: EU community, you're a bunch of salty ( toxic ) whiners and that is why we will do a lottery and not copy the format from the other servers.

Because he quoted me saying I can predict within 30 seconds which hole will need plugging and which flank would benefit from someone leading a push, which is the reason I do fairly well in regards to statistics. I don't shoot better than other players, my hit ratio's are actually dropping and are quite mediocre compared to a lot of other players, which should indicate it's not the shooting which is making the difference. Quoting me and claiming he can do 'better' because he can predict the outcome of a match before it even starts implies a> he is a 'better' player or b> he is blaming MM for his performance. Both are not the case.

I would agree if it's domination, but it's not. Though yes, MM does have this habit of creating matches where the distribution of classes could have been much more equal ( like in your case, why not 3-5? ). On the other hand, I would not like the MM either if all it did was do mirror team composition, a match like this once in awhile is not an issue for me. If it get's to frequent things would change, but I wouldn't complain about a single occurrence. Also, proper screening would still make it a possible victory.

Yes, that is why you have the most average win rate imaginable ( 50% ), because you're so good in predicting things.

This game is much more strategic than people assume, I can usually tell in 30 seconds which hole I will need to plug or which push I will have to front. Team work is rare because, honestly, people don't use chat enough ( or for the right reason ). Go watch some of Trigger_Happy_Dad's video's, you will see his win rate is not only because of his personal excellence in playing his ship, he also is very good at getting teams to work together. Once you can lead targets you're basically 'done' with the damage dealing part. But the other part: positioning ( broad statement ) and engagement angles ( tactical play ) is something you can practice in division by paying attention to your more experienced division member.

In game there is a chat channel called 'Forumites' ( it's the one from SturmTiger304 iirc ), the password is 'play4fun'. Most of us wouldn't have any issues with division with someone new who wants to improve his play, drop bye the channel some time! edit: if you have teamspeak installed, WoWs has a public server -> 92.223.3.90:9989 There are people there almost always and you're likely to find people to play with ( the English section is less populated pretty often, but he who doesn't try.... ).
