Wrong post, this is the correct entry -> http://forum.worldofwarships.eu/index.php?/topic/12314-borderless-screen-support/page__pid__225486#entry225486

If you run full screen with 1920-1080 and press ALT+ENTER you will switch to desktop mode. This for me gives me -> No 1904-1041 isn't full hd but it comes pretty close. It can't go bigger because desktop size = full hd - taskbar.

Last I heard the uproar about Bismarck being a premium and thus unavailable to the masses was quite massive, massive enough that they stated that they where not sure to press ahead with that and might swap Tirpitz and Bismarck around. I think it was said in some dev bulletin/q&a and I heard it from someone who understood Russian. Then I am also quite sure this was confirmed on this forum by both ST and people with maroon names ( I'm colorblind but I think it's maroon ). Not sure how it would look though then, as having Bismarck as premium would fit better with the rule about premiums being lesser then fully upgraded ships from the same tier ( Tirpitz had it's latest refit which added lots of AAA ). Just saying, it could be the information I heard was wrong, or that it's outdated.

It can be hard as there are always times where you could relatively safe launch your torpedoes IF a certain ally does not turn port/starboard. I have hit friendlies this way, even yesterday. I did say in chat that I launched but I think he was either zoned into something and didn't notice chat, or English was not a language he/she has mastered. But even if I can think of reasons why he could/should have avoided them, it's still MY FAULT for launching them. 1. I can't expect other players to know what I am doing and anticipate correctly. 2. I can't expect other players to speak/understand what I write in chat ( especially some Eastern European countries where English is not as mandatory as in Western Europe ). So, the only time I will ever put the blame on someone who 'turned into my torpedoes' is when a> I gave prior notice of what I am going to do AND I get a roger in some form so I know he actually understood. Does that mean I never ever take a risky shot, no it does not. But I take full responsibility for it if it happens and I would want everyone to do the same. If not, people will react badly and toxicity will follow. It also helps myself as I expect my allies to also be human and take those risky shots. If I would think no one did so, I wouldn't be vigilant enough and die as it's pretty often I have to steer to avoid friendly torpedoes

You're a moderator, people take what you say for truth so I hope you're 100% sure on this since it's not the same as I heard last ( but again you're the mod you should know better ;) ).

People +1 this because their lazy and don't want to acknowledge that it's ALWAYS the responsibility of the one firing the torpedo's, with the only exception when you convey through chat well in time that you've fired torps in XYZ direction.

Exactly, you would think that you can tell someone to piss off quite verbally since you know for a fact he purposely team killed you. Gladly, your ban wouldn't get lifted even if you have a replay which shows he purposely teamkiled you, since as they say: two wrongs don't make a right

Currrently grinding my Benson, it's got 5 deck guns and I like it... But every time I jump into my Gremy and get 8km torps I now end up having a lot more fun independent of the maps. I still want the Gearing though so I'll keep at it.

I'm actually pleasantly surprised, both by the fact people are getting perm chat bans and that I was able to read this opening post. Gives me hope for this community

I really hate closed data, I understand some parameters can be used as balancing factors ( like terrain resistance... and you then never show it in the game UI ) but why not be open about the numbers? There is nothing to loose, you can always point of it's a balancing factor and if the server averages measure up then the balancing factors are doing their job. So again what's the problem in revealing it? What I can think of > the balancing factors are not working and making them public would point this out to the general public ( this would be semi valid though during beta where adjustments are made constantly to archive balance, but on the other hand knowing all parameters during testing would create more meaningful tests as all parameters can be directly tested against so it's not a good reason I think? )

So you're saying it's more a matter of tone then content? In a way I can understand that, the way a message is conveyed is an integrate part of the message itself and content alone can get lost. I must admit this is sometimes the case with me, I try but often I come across people who seem unable to debate based on facts, a q&a exchange followed by a possible reconsideration based on the former. Those people often then resort to ad hominem, and defensive obstruction for which I'm a sucker to get trapped in. Guess neuro typicals have another thing going for them Personally I don't think HellSpunk is as bad as you picture him to be, I do think that just as many others it get's very very tiresome at times to try to have a sensible exchange of thoughts when there are so many people just trying to convey their opinions as facts, being submissive of anything which contradicts it. In my opinion, that is the source of whatever it is what ticked the wrong boxes with you, not ill intent. If you constantly have to defend yourself one tends to get overly defensive at times. I don't know if that's the case. By the way, why do you think he gives -1 to people who disagree? Maybe it was me giving a -1 to a post where people either failed to read or plainly just refused to enter in a debate other then mocking and dismissing and even slandering the other side. There is a reason a vukkening happened in this thread, and it wasn't HellSpunk ( nor me ). If it was another post, then idk but just wondering why you attribute it directly to someone when the forum doesn't show who either upvoted or downvoted a post?

You must be either blind, dumb or stupid. Or just purposely trying to troll, but I don't think you are ( from other subjects I know you're not into that disruptive behavior ). But a: you state HellSpunk accused someone of being bad and blame him for doing so, when he clearly showed you by quote that is was not an assumption but something the other guy said about himself. And b: you actually haven't countered the fact that a-holes will be a-holes no matter if they can abuse a tool like XVM to be 'better' a-holes. I use nails and a hammer to hang stuff on my wall, I can also kill my neighbor with a hammer. Should we petition to ban hammers from hardware stores?

Where would the scout plane rank up on that list? I mean the scout planes launched from ships. And does this range vary ( increases ) with tier? And if not, why not?

Since the patch I am having some issues here: 1. There is no more sound, I used to press battle and went off to browse or something as waiting minutes is to much for my attention span. The sound alerts me the countdown has begun. 2. There is no more sound, perhaps because there is no countdown? I was always able to get into a battle with 20s or so left if not more, now it just goes from queue to loading screen, and then I jump into the battle right after the loading screen ( like as if I was only added to the match last and all the other people had a countdown timer and I just went: poof here you go now play ). I'm used to not getting the button to enter the battle before the countdown finishes, but this is different and it's annoying. Anyone else have this issue? edit: think I misplaced this, should probably be in the bug report subsection

Which is the same as in WoT, and besides, it makes sense you can't highlight targets without line of sight.

I guess with the automated system in place it will be like in WoT where manual reports for team damage get a copy pasta answer pointing out how the automated system will flag the guy if he keeps it up and that the process for it is fully automated.

Marvin the Martian, I always felt like an alien on this planet and like him I'm not very sociable at times You neuro typical's can be very confusing to me

There will probably not be a wipe between open beta and release, maybe a soft wipe where progress is refunded through free experience. But from cbt to obt this will happen: 1. all gold will be refunded so you can spent it again 2. all premium time will be reset 3. all pre-order ships will still be in your harbor 4. all other progress will be wiped without compensation

Ok, yes you should pre order! But, please start playing the tier 1's and don't jump in a Sims at tier 7 right away. If you do, then please don't test your torpedo's by firing from behind an ally, they won't like you very much for it

If you have a replay of a game where you noticed it happening, analyzing it might give some answers?
