Kuma > Phoenix though, but Omaha > Furutaka and Aoba > Cleveland for me.. yes I know, I do better with Cleveland with win rate and damage, but it's not as much fun to play because it feels a one trick pony which can be countered by distance ( shell arc on Cleveland is terrible, only beaten by a Sims with AFT I feel.. ). I would recommend new people to play IJN DD's first up to tier 5, get's them used to how DD's influence gameplay of all other classes ( well... ). Then play either IJN or USN CL/CA up to tier VI or VII and pick a BB line ( again I prefer IJN, because Yamato, but it can be either line depending on preferential play style ( or end goal, or both, or anything else ). I would recommend new players to watch Aerroon's video's about carrier play, even if they don't have any interest in playing carriers. It shows a lot on how they work and thus how you can counter them.

I forgot to tell him, but ye imho the best premium to give as gift is a Murmansk. Not to expensive, but really good in game and a very good credit maker.

The moment you run a replay the client is started and loads the models for that replay but the game closes when the game is finished so I can't see how it would help. Make sure your hdd is defragmented properly and you have enough free space. If that doesn't help, there are mods which have reduced size textures which should load you into battle quicker at the expense of graphical details. http://forum.worldofwarships.eu/index.php?/topic/20522-0521-compressed-textures-wows-for-slow-computers-or-computers-without-ssd/

I have more then one client on my system, and only the live client is on my SSD. The difference in loading times can be as much as 40 seconds in some cases, but once the maps and ship models are loaded once and cached the difference in loading times go down fast. In short: loading times for first time maps / models is drastically reduced from the first time to subsequent one's even on HDD's. My son has this pc: x2 @ 3.0 Ghz 8gb ddr2-800 5-5-5-12 gtx275 and game installed on regular HDD -> the gpu is much better then yours but he can't run higher than low ( some medium ) settings due to the cpu. His loading times are ok though, he's not late into battle ( but having 1m loading time instead of 30s helps ).

The idea is that you can sell your regular Kongo after getting the ARP Kongou. Same for Myoko. So in effect, you get to sell two ships yet also keep them in your harbor indefinitely Or keep both.. idk, some would like two I guess. I think I'll settle for the ARP one's and use the free'd up slots and credits for other ships.

It's not feasible, there is no way to show those penetration paths for each shell during live gameplay. There are q&a's and armor mechanics video's, so it's not like people don't have an ability to dive a bit into how things actually work, but I admit it can be quite hard to find everything.

I can't really make out what you're trying to ask or say, sorry I thought you meant your ships disappeared as well as your progress, which sounds like you are playing on another region but I checked all regions and you only have an account with this name on EU region.

Go to the premium shop and select what you want to buy him and make sure to click on 'Purchase as a gift'.

I feel cuddly, I'll upvote you both... group hug

Hold ctrl in game to unlock your cursor ( same which you use to prioritize targets for AAA and secondaries, and which shows popups on your ammo and torps with general information ). Then right click on the player you want to compliment and you get a self explanatory content menu.

You are correct, and I did not want to imply otherwise. The main point is made by the post above me here, the content was already being made for the ASIA region, we're getting 'bonus' content. The backgrounds on the missions is the ONLY thing you or anyone else has got to live with, for the duration of those missions, and yet that is enough to give people the feeling that they are justified in demanding it being changed for them. And sorry, but 'People'? You talking for yourself, not for 'People' ( unless you're elected into public office ). Many people who like the anime are playing because they want ARP content, and 'historical' ships might only be secondary to them, did you ever consider this? Now I will not go into numbers, I am sure WG did their homework. Contrary to popular believe, I don't think WG is actually incapable of proper market research. And imo, for the people who don't want to see anime content, it's a small price to bear with the mission backgrounds, in fact they should be happy their eligible to do the missions even with another port selected. Getting free extra bonus from completing a mission which wasn't even made to suit you, that's a bonus in my eyes.

I remember, I was in a couple of them and I seen you actually being useful in those ;) But that is the exception to the rule, and you darn well know that

Don't think that, it's just meme material. Remember, this is the internet, 99% of things are not as profoundly true as claimed ;) Anyway I just wanted to point out the background with fail platoons in World of Tanks.

Do one for the tier IV bb's ;)

When reading this thread I envy WT players who can see directly what their shell did ( penetrating spot and internal behavior ). Which ofc wouldn't fit inside the WoWs ui at all, but still just having more transparent mechanics would only help the game as people who understand the mechanics will blame far less on 'RNGezus'. There isn't even that much rng in WoWs. No 25% pen and dmg deviation, the only rng is in dispersion and in angle normalization afaik.

j/k man. That is Serb ( Sergey Burkatovskiy, Lead Game Designer for World Of Tanks ). He became somewhat of a meme because people found him sometimes overly rude in Q&A's towards non RU in particular. Though, to be fair, I hear from RU forumites he actually is just as 'bad' to them as to anyone else I think the above picture is about the second famous one of him in forumites community... the most famous being -> [edited] Read up about him if you want, there are some really funny quotes to be found. Anyway, I wasn't disagreeing per se, I was expending on your post. You said they won't fix the problem, I added the fact that according to Serb 'troll platoons' are not a problem at all.

No you just interpret what was said differently than intended. That's not their error if you'd ask me. Uhm you talking about WG eu? Lesta? Afaik it wasn't Lesta who made the skins, or did the voices, it was all done for them ( and in worst case; made through collaboration ). This content was made for ASIA region, but because WG realized there are Arpeggio fans even in other regions, they choose to made it available in all regions. We're getting free bonus content, and no resources have been deviated from developing 'historical' skins. Btw, where does it say that WoWs is an historically based WW2 ship game? I NEVER ever seen anything from WG mentioning 'historically correct' WW2 ship game, in fact I did see them mention 'arcade' many times but 'historical'? The game is not meant as historical naval warfare sim, just like WoT isn't how tank battles were fought back in the days.

Who cares about picture background on the mission screen? Seems there might be mods out to remove those pictures already anyway. Pictures on missions screen != content. And WG said you could turn off ARP content ( which you can, by not selecting the port you won't see ARP ships ( = content ) in the game ).

The problem always was ( at least in WoT where there are direct interviews with Serb and co quoted saying; ) we want people to be able to platoon with their friends, and the matchmaking is set up so it should even out so called 'fail divisions' anyway so we don't see the problem. So no, it's not WG saying they won't fix the problem, it's WG saying they don't see the problem.

I think you've met bad Omaha drivers.. even Tacco can do ok. Remember St Louis doesn't have any speed or range compared to them ( Omaha at least, Taco has short range as well on those big guns ).

I do have accuracy mod, but when I have evading targets I am doing staggered firing usually ( fire in a pattern where I expect him to be ). If you can do that, you will like the extra tight grouping when you meet a railroading BB which you can land all your shells on consistently.

Could you post the python.log or is it totally void of any crash related messages?

Yeah but it would be astronomically unlikely that everyone with game crashes and these errors in their log all have dust clogged gpu's on the verge of dying

Now you mention it, there was a mention in the patch notes though I must say I haven't noticed any change in MM compared to 'old days' at all, so the effect of this 'tweak' might be immeasurable ( at least in my personal experience ). I don't have the exact link now either but I recall now having talked about it prior with others. But then as of now, I really could not tell any difference in the matches I was getting.

That would be a lot of free xp man lol
