Ahoy matey, don't recall you from the forums but I do remember meeting a Greek DD captain in game a couple of times and I think that was you

I worded it badly, I should have asked: out of ten people who want to play this game, how many do you expect to actually put effort into learning if there is a 'shortcut' to get 'skilled' instantly? I know I won't use it ( though then again, it would help me as well especially now I been switching between 203's and 155's so much lately it's making my hit ratio tank due to big differences in lead required ). I know you won't use it. And from the forumites, who knows, there are bad apples amongst us for sure. And people who don't even visit the forums, well them I expect to choose the easy way more often than not. I really don't want to go back to the feeling there is no point in playing unless I install a mod which does the work for me, as suddenly the biggest noobs have no issues hitting me where before/without the mod they would pose no danger.

Alright, which percentage of the playerbase is a> aware of this b> capable of this c> willing to 'practise' to perfect it? Ten percent?

^^ so much this I used aim mod in obt when it was 'legal' and available, but I removed it shortly after testing it because I was to afraid to get dependent on it. Still, there are enough people who don't care they will suck more when this mod is no longer working as long as they temporarily suck a bit less.

I already offered a solution: they locked of python access to prevent unwanted mods, now a mod appears which consists of a flash element. Simple solution; don't allow swf mods. Problem; lots of angry players and modders, and removing ability to edit/customize swf means basically almost no more modding. Slightly more complicated solution; those vectors need to known in the client off course, but they should limit the accessibility of this data.

Should get a Diana for tier II... or an Umi

I didn't look but since it is an swf it's a safe assumption he ported the calculations from python to action script to bypass WG's 'protection'

Hitbox skins on WoT make sense since you can actually hit what you're aiming for with reliability, hitbox skins on WoWs would be crap because of the distances and gun dispersion. Since when are there rules for which mods WG can take, look at and say: No sir, this isn't cool! They can declare any modification illegal/banned, it's their game. They already removed python access, so now the calculations are ported to actionscript ( scripting language for Flash ) and using values from the xml file. Ingenious. Quick fix: disable SWF editing ( ow the crap storm this would create!! ).

Source?

You're constantly negative about the game mechanics, which is fine if you can offer a viable alternative but so far you failed to produce one. If you had done so, you would find a lot more people backing you, I don't like all mechanics currently in place but but I know some of those are already well argumented and might or might not make an appearance someday somewhere to see how viable they really are. About Ectar decision to stop streaming, why are you asking me about this? It's his personal choice, I had not been in his stream for some time so don't try to ask me for an opinion about something I hardly have enough facts to have one. About the buddies, that was a wrong comment on my part as I know people share your negative stance on lots of things. It would benefit everyone if for some of those problems you see, you open a thread consisting of this: A; description of problem B; proof of A C; alternative to A D; reasonable explanation as to why C is logically viable and worth trying to implement. If you can do this, I swear it will have my undivided attention and with me I hope a lot more to show where others stand on the issues you bring up.

We'll see. And trust me, if I start screaming from the top of my lungs you will know it

As said in OP, if passive sonar it should not work against stationary targets ( yet it does ), so he already said that for the games sake we should consider it active sonar and I agree ( otherwise, ships which use it also shouldn't hear the effect they have now, instead you would just hear a lot of indeterminate noise for the uninitiated ear ).

There will be a PR campaign since we've left BETA status behind us. Let's have a discussion again in a month or two, and then off course in a year since I would like getting paid by that time

Go find Aerroon's advanced carrier tactics video on YouTube ( or through in thread in the fan section )

It comes in handy having someone around who can read RU forums and make sure we get info we otherwise wouldn't get

But But But, OP clearly get's sunk to often, they must be cheating or he wouldn't loose a single game that's how awesome he is

It was a jest, Bismarck was no longer combat capable way before she 'sank' and that was not because her crew choose to

You might get your 'buddies' to upvote this, but it's basically a 'don't shoot the messenger' scenario, something you actually already know but you still choose to ignore it, why?

It would add some immersion, but then for how far should it be audible?

In case you missed the point, I got a similar quote in my signature to indicate I'ld be happy to take on a bet about player base in a year and I'd do the same for current / near future which is why I asked him for the numbers... not you, I already knew the numbers but it's more fun to have him post the same numbers as those who would proof him wrong.

RNGezus has a role in a relatively small pool off players getting into rng dependent mixed teams. This should alleviate itself when more people enter the player pool, since with a larger pool a more uniform distribution is to be expected.

Can you show me those numbers, I mean actual numbers...

RedTracker is a must Please guys don't blame him for providing content which currently seems to focus on NA, it's not his fault. @shipcomrade I do think it will be harder to follow EU because EU seems to delegate towards language specific community contributors so far ( contest for specific language subforums ). I, like many, hope we'll be seeing some more community events on the whole EU server even if that means having an English oriented event.

Replay of this proof would be nice to see ;)

Seen that a dozen times, not for the storey but the ships look nice! I just wish there were more action scenes
