Seems many people have been playing the ship already 😊 People were always just as enthousiastic about the Roma, which imo turned out quite fun when I bought and played with her. I'll see how much fun Marlborough really is in a month or two.

I really wonder why the Sov does that. Has it got machine gun turrets? Is it cold? Is it an airplane? Has it got a mopet engine? Edit: the FdG ain't that bad imo. Sturdy, good secondaries and bit of a upstart main gun wise. I like her. She does well.

Roma <3!!!! That is a very fun ship :D Grats

Is it an idea to break the spotting ability from CV planes? Or maybe only show spotted ships or just dots on the mini map? The ability to fly at high speed over the map and spot everything and everyone is my main gripe with CVs, xertainly combined with a high number of radar ships nowadays. A little less plane spotting andvsynergy between CV and (radar)ships is not too bad.

Sure, I do understand this aversion to subs, but in their current state they are far from useless. They are harder to play, yes, but not useless. More than ever, you have to know the movement of the enemy to position yourself while having a way out and to hit the enemy without pinging too fast. For the rest it's a high risk game, one wrong move and you are dead. Also I haven't seen much competent Sub players yet. I think that it's mainly because most competent players hate Subs and avoid them, while the casual f2p weekend crowd tries all new things without giving it another thought.

I agree that since I've been playing again, subs have been insignificant to play against. Other than CVs, but then I like to play DDs from time to yime and CVs comboed with Radar meta, I could as well just delete all my high lvl dds. I do have an other as unpopular opinion: I kind of like Subs as they are now. Played a few matches with both T6 variants and giving them the nerf were they have only a limited oxygen reserve that only slowly refills is imo the best thing that could happen to the class, next to the homing torp nerfs. I've seen enough Sub players that did not regulated that amount of time correctly and had to surface in the middle of my mates and then they are just ashes. I think the different depths each with their own pros and cons work well, just as losing oxygen faster when spotted. If you go deep, you move like a snail. I find Subs way less intrusive as CVs. You have to play real careful as Sub to stay out of danger, but that is the same as a DD. You die faster than DDs too and both ship guns as depth charges are as good as insta kills, if not insta kills. Apart from the limited stealth, DDs are way better/intrusive. Better speed, more/stronger torps, better hp, better armor, better speed, guns, (almost) the same consealment. Like I said, I won't prolly get more popular, but with the nerfs I think the Subs are ok now, even though they are shoehorned in. They are not gamebreaking anymore, or any significant much like the OP mentioned, but that makes them harder to play significant and thus more interesting. They got way less power over the game than CV do and I think DDs too.

You like over the top 3rd person shooters and got a few mates that you can play with? Do yourself a favor and get Earth Defence Force 4.1 and/or 5, maybe 4 first and then 5. If you are a gameplay over graphics person, EDF is perfect for you. And the game is only fun, fun, fun, certainly in coop.

I find PTS and Live to be a totally different experience. Ships I completely destroy with on PTS do far from that on Live.

I see a worrying lack of Fiji on these pages. KGV and Jervis are awesome too imo.

Bogatyr for the machine guns and the armored look, Orion for the deleting of DDs, Derski for the torpedo reload and quantity, wyoming for the broadside, Kaiser for proper low lvl 2nds mayhem.

I wonder: if everyone was around unicum skilled and 46 percent of the community still would still, through luck, a bad day, etc, lose their matches, would they still be considered scum of the community? Cause we can't all have a 50%+ winrating. I mean, ehat would be on the losing side, right?

Only the WG management team. The rest of the game is quite fun ;)

Another good thing of not playing the game is the 100% insurrance you don't get these strange invites of WG to be their scapegoat that they can blame and fire when things get to hot for them to handle 🙂

Yeah, WG nowadays is all about the massive festive free stuff. Most of the festive stuff if right behind a paywall or most of the time behind a paid lootbox. Anyways, the game itself is fun to play and there is nothing else like it out there. Which is a shame as then I could play someting like this again and WG might have to change a bit for the better.

You bought containers knowing what could be inside them. You got a ship. I don't see the problem. Gamble and be happy with what you get or don't gamble. This is just childish. It's like protesting towards a lottery that you got the 100 Euro price instead of the 1 million Jackpot you wanted to get.

I have quit like a few months ago. WG keeps on screwing and ffing their customers and I can't blame them. I mean seriously, everyone just takes what WG gives to them hard and open up wide to receive it. If your playerbase just loves what you give to them and takes it so willingly, why would you, as a company that readily wants to give it to them hard, change anything. I for one don't like how WG treats me as both a customer and part of their community and to show them I uninstalled. I do like to come sculking around from time to time, but mostly out of habit and because better F-UP entertainment than WG screwing their customers is hard to find. But then, most of these people seem to secrectly love what WG does to them and the game as otherwise you would think they would leave the game too after EVERYTHING that happened last years, including the CC walkout. But then the CC walkout was fake also, because most of them still support WG by making the same content as they did before, instead of just supporting one of the millions of other games on the market. So yeah, loved what the game was, what its potentially could be, but I do not support it anymore in any way, just love to watch as people keep fooling themselves thinking things will get better, otherwise enjoying watching other people get spanked by WG. Call it a kink.

>>>Please be aware: I wrote this while being calm, being in complete control of my senses and treating everyone fairly.<<< Recently, Wargaming is trying to sus the recent fires with a hightend amount of posts "apologizing" and "explaining" their how's, why's and when's, etc. One thing that consistently passes the revue is this: "Please be respectful towards our Comminty Staff and treat them fairly when communicating your problems via forums, tickets, Twitch chats, etc. Communicating your issues calmly and with respect towards these people and in a reasoned and constructive way will let you be heard much faster". In other words, we as receivers of WG's unfair treatment, getting continuously ignored by the whole of the Wargaming staff and seeing the game getting reduced to a gambling house with a naval side game, have actively and unprovocatively been raising our voice and been directing our anger towards Wargamings first line of communication, so to speak. I am and have been a first line of communication for my company for many years and I understand what WG is telling us and I also do not condone harrasment of those that are the Mouth and Ears of the company. Let that be known! Now listen well, Wargaming decision makers, as this is not how the current situation is. The current situation is that literal years continuous reasoned and constructive feedback from both casual players as myself as well as the most esteemed, knowledgeable and loved members of our community (mine as well as yours) like Little White Mouse, your customers and playerbase, has been ignored, thrown to the dirt and walked across. Never ever has our communication been acknowledged, let alone meant anything for the big changes made to the game (Dockworks, lootboxes, CVs, Submarines, secondary ships, gimmicks, maps, opperations and the list goes on and on), except maybe the Research Bureau. Instead, you used your Community Managers to reflect and deflect the issues while those that make the decisions( and have the power to decide over the Community team's future) are safely sitting behind these people not putting their behinds on the line. Now the community's capacity of BS stuff that you have tried to stuff through their neck has reached its limit and we are where we are now. And again you use your Community Managers to bring us "apologies" and "explanations" in which you clearly indicate you know you f'ed up. I paraphrased those two key words and the company has not properly apologized and acknowledged any of the real mistakes it has made and the explanations only tell us that how you handled the scams was wrong and you are sorry they were so obvious. It should be obvious that what you are doing now is just adding oil to a housefire instead of douzing the flames. And who do you send in to pour said oil? Not the persons responsible for the decision makers, not the finance team that came up with lootboxes, not the team that has been implementing Subs and CVs into the game, no, Wargaming uses their Community Managers to catch the obvious flak the community wants to shoot at the company, preferably against those that are responsible for all these huge mistakes that made the game worse and now unnofficially renamed the company to Wargambling. To make a long story short, us community members don't want to hurt the Community Managers and the rest of the community team. I don't have any beef with them, apart from them just parroting the umphteened lie the company tells them to deliver to us, but I find that rather sad than that it makes me angry. Giving them the advantage of the doubt, I always imagine they sit in this situation, having to do this work, sitting between wall and ship and escaping it is near impossible. Finding a new job, maybe having to move away because of it, thngs are not that easy. But the only lines of 1 on 1 communication the company give us are the Community Managers and the rest of the Community Team, even in the situation we are in now, while in these situations those that make the decisions should come to the foreground and catch the flak which was rightfully theirs to catch. It's like you are putting pedestrians on your streets and telling us car drivers not to hit them because they are fragile and and should be extra protected becaue of that, instead of just getting them off the street and out of the "line of fire"/harms way for something they do not bear responsibility. I don't mind getting called out of something I am responsible for, but in this case I have to turn your warning/advice around and stop using your Community personel as shield to tell us your "apologies" and "explanations" as a means to quiet down your community, letting us feel shame for misstreating the Community personel while you put them in harm's way to solve your problems. If you, directors and decision makers, come to us yourselves to come clean and really explain everything and getting in discussions with us about the current state of business, there is no need for us to direct our anger through the Community Team to get through to you. And yes, the BS-o-meter is far past the point Community Team members should be a viable option for a regular company to be a reasonable source to use to handle these issues. That was around the Puerto Ricco incident. If you have to state in every document that we have to be kind and respectful towards Community Team members, it's time to step in yourself. Kindly and respectfully, a concerned captain that loves the game. P.s. Every word in this post is meant 100%. Also that I do not condone hurting Community Team members. That also means that you, the member of the Community Team, are not meant to be treated by the company as a continuous shield every time the company does something huge THEY have to apologise for. Seeing as you all have to put your name under all those apology letters you keep on sending us after every incident, I take it you are clever enough to understand what your decision makers are doing to their community and to the game. We, the community are not putting you up as scapegoats for the people that are actually responsible for every incident that led us to this point. You can agree to continu to be the bearer of bad news and useless apologies, but I can not imagine that it is your task to bear the responsibilities of the decision makers in your company and having to go through all of this as a job assignment on your contract. There has to be laws and regulations that gives you the ability to step away from these things when things have escalated to these heights, unles you choose to be in that spot yourself. Otherwise there have to be some kind of personel protection law. Again, I, and I reckon most of the community members, don't have nor want any beef with you if we can avoid it. You are just the messenger and we get nothing out of complaining to you. But you do keep on being the only way we can communicate with your company and you do keep on ignoring all the sensitive points we as a community try to address. Please, stop being the one that stands in the way of all the flak. You have done enough and to be honest, we rather look at you as allies than as the hencemen of Wargambling. I do.

That is exactly what's up. It's just bad that the CMs and staff are geyting in between everything. But instead of the company dragging them out of the way, they blame us for hurting their Community Team with our harsh and angered words. In my company, if somebody is angry about something that is beyond my control, my boss steps in, because he is the responsible person and the onpy one able to handle the issue. So why do the people responsible for all the problems we have faced keep hiding behind company people that haven't got the authority nor the responsibility to handle the issues?

@YabbaCoe Server stats show Subs being played: WG assumes people are happy with subs. Can just as well be played to test subs or to check out if people's fears are true relating Sub gameplay and counterplay. Forum feedback: literally telling WG word for word "WE DON'T WANT SUBS!!!". Can't get any clearer. And what does WG do? Go with the first option, because that can be interpreted positively, so you all can come to Twitch, Reddit and the forums telling us people like subs. Have you spoken to them personally, asking them why they play subs? No. So WG is just guessing, interpreting and assuming. And all that while the places where you get actual, non missinterpretable feedback from (forums, reddit, twitch, CCs) you just ignore because we tell you what's really up. But that is just the same as with communication within your company and to the outside. The masses are fine with your communications, because none of them read or listen to any. So you use the masses as a measuring pole to how good your communication is. You don't hear them complain, so all is good. Sure, those that really bother with your game, the vocal minority, says your communication is crap, but that being a minority, what do they know, right? Instead of bothering with subs, shouldn't your whole company not be focussed on restoring the last bit of credibility it can restore? Maybe instead of promising to discuss current situations with LWM and the rest of the community, but then banning/ignoring them, this time really start a stream, shut up while people ask relevant questions and honestly answer them instead of useless nonsense streams. But why would the company care, people are still playing your game and buying whatever you dump in the store.It really frustrates me the company can do all this crap, walk away like nothing is happening, have it's community team tell a few BS nonsense lines for those that care, and still have the majority start up the game and buy up the newest pixels from the store.

Indeed, the whole game is getting undermined by WG ffed up monetization tactics, and people still walking through the minefield that has become of WoWs complaining about those kinds of things instead of just GTFO of there.

So many potential people that could give the middlefinger to WG, so many meek sheep that happily keep on providing WG with enough reasons not to change one bit. Because of you stats say nothing is wrong with tbis game. I suggest you buy some more lootboxes. Don't forget the Missouri lootboxes arriving soon.

And thus WG dictatorship and censorship keeps on going. If only more of them would stop playing. Doing anything that keeps this game alive is a disservice to gamers and gaming alike. I don't get it. Everyone that even infrequently is visiting these forums know what WG is and what they do. Why do people still play this game? Why isn't everyone here going on a strike for a couple of months? What does WG have to do before the majority of these forumgoers get really angry and turn their backs on WG?

Of course nothing changes. -CCs leaving played right in WG's hands, as they want to introduce the affiliates program and get rid of the CC program. -most people rather keep on playing and keeping the servers full than see what happens when WG has empty servers for a month. Why? Because their own enjoyment goes above showing WG where the power lies, which I got wrong and seemingly fully lies in WG's hands... -...a fact that, looking at the forum, is even more supported by the fact people still have interests in lootboxes and WG other tricks and schemes. Do you hear those voices saying "WG is toxic, scandalously predatory and lieing towards their customers they treat as mindless cash cows" while sailing their freshly bought premium ship after having bought another set of lootboxes?

It will be good for WG to know throwing out free T9 ships makes players come back to the game even after how they continuously treat their playerbase and volunteers. Even when every gaming news outlet is talking about how toxic and scandalous the company is, WG keeps on trying to screw everyone over, but players don't care, cause "no matter how drunk and abusive Papa WG is, if he brings presents, all is forgiven". "But it's just a free ship, not like I am going to support WG...." Blegh....

You are joking about this, but I heard they were indeed working on a new program that would be a replacement for the CC program that wasn't exactly what they wanted anymore. I heard it from one or two of the ex CCs during their vids. Dunno if it was Jingles or others.
