The only thing I want to see implemented in regard to Coop mode is the option to have a setting on my account that when I press "Battle" after a patch or special game mode and WG have set it so the client defaults to coop but I haven't noticed, I get prompted with something like "this is coop, are you sure you want to waste your daily double like this?" With regards to the rewards for this mode, they match the effort/skill required to win - I wouldn't buff them.

The tier 8 mission requirements have pushed me into that tier before I felt comfortable that I was ready for it. It's not going well so far... I think the 50 wins will be *despite* my efforts, instead of because of them... ;-)

Yup, I'm really hoping that WG will look at numbers of people achieving the Nachi mission and adjust the requirements...

I don't know but it's definitely worth it for the epic reward... ( /sarcasm in case it wasn't blindingly obvious)

The early optimism we all had about the Internet is nothing to be ashamed about, it's just we all forgot that a global village would, of course, be full of global village idiots... ;-)

Hi Kandly - I have just 2 questions please: 1 - Will any of these missions, but particularly the Nachi & Takao parts, be repeated? 2 - How long will MrConway have to spend in the gulag for his crimes before he is released? ;-)

He means that some people are reporting that when they complete a mission for an ARP ship which they already have they get the credit value of the ship added to the account but some people who also have the ARP ship and complete the mission report that they do not get the credit value of the ship added to their account. Some people get the credit value of the ship, others don't . Apparently.

But it's ok for players to spend real money converting XP to free XP, potentially skipping multiple tiers to get a tier 9 so they can get this ship - which they will feel pressured to do because this will be the only time it's available? (I hear the ARP agreement ends this year so no more ARPs after 2016 - if you want the Takao it's now or never) In fact, with so much time to do it and such a relatively easy requirement, it's almost like WG want people to free XP to tier 9, bot/fail in 100-150 games and get the ship. Hmm...

Sadly, no - Halloween mode is a special mode and those battle don't count as wins for the Takao mission. (unless WG messed up in which case they will patch it immediately)

Sir, with the greatest respect, you are sailing dangerously close to appearing to call me a red line BB camper. I can assure you that nothing could be further from the truth. Take care please sir, lest I demand satisfaction! ;-)

lol Conway....epic trolling there. Well played sir!

Don't know about the compensation, but the team killer doesn't turn pink until after that battle. Also, only the second time you've been team killed? Lucky you... ;-)

To OP I would say that I ALWAYS go for a ram kill when the battle is basically over, but with ships being as slow as they are it's just not that easy. By the time you know it's time to ram, it's usually versus 1 or 2 enemies who die too quickly because your entire team is shooting them. @ _Kyoshi - I run with it on all my Myoko \ ARP Myoko clone ships - those are the only things fast enough to catch and ram something. Not worth it on DDs since they are too fragile anyway and BBs are (mostly) too slow or not maneuverable enough to secure a hit.

Having watched the video of him playing, that's 6 more than he has IRL ... Cannot work out if this is a cringe worthy event or the single greatest thing ever. I suspect it's both... Actually, I watched the video and it's really quite cool - gj WG! 1 question - can a modder make an up to date commander portrait for him please? I fear my MS Paint skills are somewhat lacking...

I don't have any tier 9 or 10 ships and my only two regular tier 8s are both completely stock and unplayed - even if I grind for a tier 9, I don't think I will do it in time. #sadkittenmeme

Thanks - didn't have access to the game and really couldn't remember ; -)

Nope, she was the lead ship of the class which the Atago comes from. So she should be a tier 8. I think this will be the first tier 8 "premium" ship that WG have offered as a mission reward, hence the steep requirements. (Am I right in thinking ARP ships get premium credits and XP, but can obviously only train ARP ships? Still, tier 8 premium credit income is not to be sniffed at, if that is correct) EDIT - it's not, ARP ships get no XP or credit boost like premium ships...so yeah - that sucks.

Just got my 4th victory which was also my first flawless win - and then some. We ended the game with Transilvania having taken only 58 points of damage and I think that came from friendly ships colliding with her! Epic team - comps to all for a great battle!!

I don't think she needs heal. As Negativvv already stated, most of the damage she takes cannot be repaired anyway (since it's usually citadel or outright fatal) so a heal ability would be mostly useless. I can see why people don't like her - unicums cannot carry in her despite being able to play her well, whilst unskilled or less experienced players die fast in her. But that's just because she is a ship of extremes and needs to be played in exactly the right way to get the best out of her, whilst mistakes are severely punished. In the right hands and circumstances, such as ambushing an enemy DD in the open, she's very OP - pop radar so he cannot hide in his smoke and vaporise him in 2-3 salvoes. But get caught in the open and you will be sent back to port in no time. And I am fine with that - it gives her a unique play style and makes her interesting and challenging to play. I say she is fine as she is. Edit - in short, heal would make her too powerful in the hands of good players but do nothing to help the average player.

Yeah, pretty much the same here. I always pick 'try your lucks' and getting 5 flags every single time (bar 1) is getting tedious now - WG should at least vary it so you get something random to maintain interest. If I am pretty much always going to get the same thing I'd rather it was something more useful. From now on I've switched to consumables containers - a steady supply of 9 premium consumables per container is worth more to me than the extremely remote possibility of a decent supercontainer. But I would say that it's still a much better system (IMO) than the old daily mission. The requirements are less random (for instance, the shoot down 20 aircraft mission always annoyed me because sometimes you never saw any aircraft) and the ability to choose your own reward based on your needs is better.

Good team work is more important than the number of each class. i was the only DD in a team with 2 BBs and 4 CAs last night and we won. Not because I'm some sort of amazing DD player (I'm not) but because we worked together as a team. I stayed out of the circle so the slow ships could get there first, then the BBs wrecked every catapult instantly and the 4 CAs burned all the Zikasas. When Rasputin spawned everyone just piled on the damage and he sank soon enough.

Sounds like it. After my first Halloween battle my game defaulted to Co-op and I didn't realise until I was already in the battle. Wasted a daily double ;-)

You are already playing that nation - the Japanese. When you get to the next ship, the Minekaze, you will find one of the best stealth torpedo ships in the game. She gets concealment of around 6km (with premium camo) and 7km range torpedoes - so you have a 1km range of blind firing. At the same time, those torpedoes are fast, difficult to spot, quick to reload and come in 3 dual launchers - so they are very flexible. Meanwhile, the ship herself is fast and agile. Keep pushing up the line and, whilst things are not as good as the Minekaze, you do start to get the real long range stealth torp spammers, but their torps are somewhat nerfed now - slower and easier to spot. But this is still the best stealth torp line in the game IMO.

Aaaaah, I see!! Thanks for explanation :-)

I also find the UI in port to be very slow and laggy and I've been meaning to ask if anyone knows of a setting to improve it? My PC specs AMD FX-63000 6 core CPU @ 3700 Mhz 8GB RAM NVIDIA GTX970 Game and OS run on an SSD
