    Another random drop for completing missions, gives as usual crap, opened 11 so far yet only have one of the worst tier 5 cruiser in the game namely Hawkings and nothing else of value. Funny how the British made so many of the advancements in naval warfare and were a force to be reckoned with until after WW", yet WG make sure the British ships are weak and substandard to Russia's navy, who incidentally it's navy was primarily made up of UK and US old ships that were bound for the scrap heap!

     

    It's about time WG gave up this gambling mode, just put the bloody ships up once directives have been completed or just introduce the new line so everyone can get them at the same time without the favourite few that always get them early, while everyone else grinds for sod all!

    Prior to this event starting I bought the 1st gold upgrade ready, I have completed every single directive at least a day before next is released and still, only going to reach lvl 31. WG have taken any fun out the game, I have spent time grinding this backward approach to getting a new ship that has cost me time I could have spent with family and friends over the xmas. Absolutely soul destroying, I will never even bother starting one of these idiotic events again. Putting in 8 hours a day as a minimum is retarded and unhealthy. WG should behave with some kind of responsibility towards it's players base

     and never even consider anything like this again.

    It simply is not an upgrade, actually an insult, shima is an easy target if spotted anyway with the leggy module it means you cannot fire guns or torps at alll in self defence, it would simply be sensible to scrap it and for WG to go away and look at a dictionary to understand the meaning of upgrade. After that they can try again with this module.

    Interface for joining public test is hopeless, cannot login using my old public test account as it tells me wrong email. cannot create a new public test account as it tells me email in use! How ridiculous is that?

     

     

    Update: I cannot even login to report the issue, yet I can login here and login to the game on the live server! I hope this update works better when its released compared to the test portal.

    Why after the length of time this game has been out, do we still get stuck on battle loading screen. This should have been fixed period years ago! Have to close client and restart but game is still running in background so have to cntrl+alt+del then shut process and wg error reporting process, then try and load game again. Time all this takes means either dead or received multiple reports and puniished further by being pink. This is your [edited] up not ours!

    8 vs 8.. c'mon... We could barely scramble 7 people before, now 8....

    Why you doing this WG?

    Like it is not enough that MINI RANKED is sharted because of increase of players in battle, now you gotta smash CB.. Why?

    maybe WG plans to force members to be online more or get kicked. Add to that fewer clans but more activity is the only goal here it seems.

    Montecucculo SAP shells are pants, hit a bogue with 8 shells for 4k damage, SAP is supposed to have pen chance better than HE in fact 42mm, does the bogue even have anything that thick? Note on shells states richochet or non pen does no damage, shells should not richochet off a bogue at 6km that is broadside.

    reload is way to slow for the range. gun traverse is no better than a BB. Ship really is poor.

    Did not even notice there was an update, but could not get any sound from game at all, checked my equipment drivers and everything, restred game then pc. In the end I thought why not push sound levels up high in game settings and it worked.

    Wished I had seen this in the news thread in game before not.

     

    Sound are a lot clearer now so good work on those.

    I never started this post to troll on CV's it is not the players fault, neither was it my intention for that to happen. That said WG should think a bit more on these battle modes with low ship numbers at low tiers. I know they cannot please everyone but maybe they could reflect and realise there are no other ship class under tier 7 that can do sod all about CV planes except another CV. So all huddle together for the duration, or risk being the 1st 1 out without a shot fired in anger.

     

    At higher tiers the CV has to be selective of targets and if he is clever he will simply spot and keep out of range of AA cruisers and BB's

    Played a couple and think I will sit this sprint out. At tier 6 no ship can deal with CV's planes, cruiser with fighter and defensive AA only managed to shoot down 7 planes in whole game. Perma spotted by planes for duration, means no fun for me.

    4 Battles played and CV in every battle and the amount of them in queue suggests it is going to be every battle. I will stick to randoms and carry on getting XP on my reset lines. Hopefully the next round of sprints will be an odd tier number.

    Just to be sure...you know there is a cooldown on the consumable, right?

    yeah, but its not on cool down, the consumable activates and changes colour on countdown until it is used up this is when the fires and floods should be stopped but are not, before the timer begins until next charge, what I will add is I have enabled shadow play, which constantly records the last hour, and it has not happened since, although strange, I will not complain if it never happens again, if it does, I will have both the game replay and shadow play replay to cross reference and share to all.

    Looks like you're alone with that problem.

    In that case: Don't blame the devs but look on your side for the problem.

     

    Tried a fresh installation?

    As the game mechanics are done server side, it would not be possible to use the repair my end and not register on the server, if that was the case, it would simply be lag or lost packets which spamming the repair key would eventually enable it, but once it is activated on my pc it would have to be active on server unless the issue was server side.

     

    As for trying a fresh installation, this is my 3rd computer I am using to play this game, it used to happen a lot in the early days then kind of stopped for a short while, about 2 years ago I think it was the devs even posted they had fixed this known issue. it seems to be happening more frequently as time goes by.

    Hi,

    I am native UK and only speak English.

    I am looking for an active clan where voice comms is a must, whether it is discord or teamspeak is a priority.

    I have all tier X ships bar 6, I do not play CV's at all.

    I am comfortable in any kind of ship and enjoy playing them all.

    I am looking for a guild that is active in general, as well as clan wars ranked, clan brawls and divisions.

    My current clan is full of good guys, but the sad truth is hardly anyone plays anymore, and when they do it is rarely on voice and never enough players to do clan battles.

    At this stage of the game I would expect most members of prospective clan to have several tier X ships.

    I am not easily offended by banter and playing with others while on comms is my main priority as said earlier.

    Message me, if you think I would be an addition to your guild.

    Strange how a high tier DD takes over 2 minutes to load torps, yet a CV can load refuel a whole squadron of planes and get them back in the air in a 1/4 of the time, also strange how ship fighters and spotters have a flight time limit and a really long cooldown, yet a CV can leave planes up forever, no need to refuel as long as they dont drop ordinance they have no limit to how long they stay up.

     

    This is very annoying especially to stealthy ships to be in a battle where they are permanently spotted because the air is always full of planes.

    only happened to me when using the consumable and client crashes and you manage to get back into game and somehow are still alive, then there is a desync between client and server and the consumable using status isn’t right anymore.. you neither see the cooldown duration nor the status and when you hit a button (damage con, torp drop, whatever) nothing happens.. but that’s the only scenario I can imagine and it hasn’t happened to me for a long time.. at least not this year

    Not had this tbh, usually if I DC I get back in game to hear my ship blow up before game renders

    absolutely no mods installed, it is a fresh install on  fairly new hard drive, but this has always happened, how can it possibly be on my side? if the server recognises I have used the consumable but game fails to do the repair, that is surely a server side issue! Ran wgcheck a thousand times or more tbh and it comes up with no issue.

     

    I am also not the 1st and certainly will not be the last to have this problem either.

    Why has the repair bug not been sorted out yet? , all too often my ships are either put on fire or flooding and when I hit the repair button, the consumable is used but has no effect! No repairs done in fact. I know this has been reported so many times yet still this is an issue. Really guys maybe work on fixing what is not right before adding new content, I guarantee it will keep more people happy rather than rage quitting!

    Since the AC update this game is getting more and more boring, cant play a DD to much effect as perma spotted, cant hide behind an island because perma spotted, never ever in the 2WW or even up until air refuelling started could planes stay up forever, to make matters worse at higher tiers WG had a though maybe we should fill the air with even more bloody planes so now we get 2cv per team at higher tiers now! WTF was they thinking? This game might as well be WoWP version 2.

     

    Since that stupid update I have played very little, I log in for a few games now and again then simply had enough then log out again. This game used to be fun now it is only fun if you play a CV.

    I wished the shells actually landed where it shows on screen, or the ship your aiming at was where it shows on screen instead of the server being a few seconds ahead of game video. Actually seeing torpedoes launch from 100m in front of my ship when I launch them, clearly meaning my ship is not where it renders in game! I have traced route to WG servers and everything is fine up until the telia network right before it reaches wargaming server, that is where all the issues seem to stem from, after 3 years it is poor we still get these issue with WG playing dumb with responses like "it is your connection".

     

    Ever wondered why aiming t the same spot on ships battle after battle gets so many different results? It is because the server lag varies but as the client runs on your machine it dispalys what the server see upto several seconds before and where your shells seem to land has 0 effect as the server sees it different, maybe the server should know what end user sees and adjust aim to coincide with that. pressing the fire button while aiming on target then seeing shells leave guns seconds later is poor. So I would like to see WG improve their connection to the www and make sure their servers can actually cope in real time with requests. because seeing all shells land on target and nothing register, or seeing enemy torpedoes miss but magically blow your ship up is annoying af.
