-
flags extra commander xp and also flags extra free xp - happy with that for 2 free boxes.
-
as do I, so that might be it.... guess it's chrome from now on

I get this also with WG when trying to use paypall, no none else. There also seems to be an issue with de-selecting the 'pre-authorised' authority on paypall as that does not seem to work currently with WG which still goes through the 'this is a pre-authorised transaction' routine.(which I am taking up with support).

Ships take a while to appear on screen (but shown on minimap)
philjd replied to Andrej_Peribosky's topic in General Discussion
I suspect that quite a few people get this I know I do) - is this down to RAM/graphics card or latency? (my machine was absolutely top spec 3 years ago, not an SSD drive though, and I have a 100mbs connection but get this situation on a regular basis). -
Duke of York as reward for Campaign - Opinions?
philjd replied to Hades_warrior's topic in General Discussion
It's free and an objective for a campaign - I'll aim for her, how much I play her, well, like most of my other premiums, probably for the daily win and the xp boost that gives. Unless she is as bad (for me) as something like the Campbell,in which case she might get dusted off once in a blue moon but that would be it.- 28 replies

LWM review of Duke of York is up on US forums
philjd replied to Ryouzanpakku's topic in General Discussion
Just as an aside, I wonder what WG will do with the PoW to make her 'distinctive', assuming she ever gets into the game - we already have 3 amagi versions, so the precedence is there. -
USS Missouri will become unavailable with 0.7.2 (roughly 2 months from now), a new T9 BB will take its place
philjd replied to MrFingers's topic in General Discussion
I have the ship already so, personally, it matters not to me if she is removed (same with Nicolai, Belfast, Kutusov etc). My intention was to clarify a previous misstatement regarding the language usage, given that people on the forums do tend to get worked up about semantics when WG change things. Have WG started weaseling yet? Different wording for the same thing on different servers will cause issues with a supposedly 'united' policy approach going forward when a change is implemented. -

English is my native language and 'here to stay' means permanently - but that was on the NA servers, not the EU one - so when two versions conflict when merging, one of them has to lose out to the other, or both lose out to new thought. If the Mighty Mo remains on the NA server post removal from EU server, then a sh1tstorm is deserved. -
I am in favour of the 'how about, NO' opinion on this. Too slow, never actually used in a tactical combat, torp range too short (1-2km max in historical terms, unless someone has different info'*), no spotting range, too fragile, etc etc etc. * the torpedo's themselves had longer range, but the submerged sub did not have the vision range or the predictive ability for longeranged firing

When Raptor doesn't want to be rescued...
philjd replied to HaachamaShipping's topic in General Discussion
Had that situation in a game on Friday evening - however, some of the guys were messing around with the 'no team damage' functionality and torping'/shooting each other in the exit zone, as soon as that ceased, the Raptor continued it's journey to the exit zone. (Probably just co-incidence though) -
worked for me - thank you OP.

Wallet Warrior's Christmas Quandary: Which tier VII BB for upcoming Operation Narai?
philjd replied to FixCVs_Nautical_Metaphor's topic in General Discussion
If you are committed to 'spending something' - then you should go for the Scharnhorst - it offers a much more flexible play style and in the right hands is very effective (even the lesser skilled hands also). Edit - you can also use the Scharn' to train your KM BB drivers, so not a stand alone purchase, but a supportive one. -
Which is why the first 20 Hunt class DE's had to have their X turret removed, as a design error made the completed ship dangerously unstable. (I have read that the first time they tried to mount the X turret that the ship heeled over.... red faces all around).

T8 Massachusetts and T10 Salem as end-of-year present ?
philjd replied to PseudoMi's topic in General Discussion
Then I would expect that if they went down that route as I probably rate as one of their better paying customers, but I still think it is a bad idea, however nice it would be to receive the ship as a gift. To the below (forum formatting... grr), I:m the CFO for a pharmaceutical group, so yes, I do understand marketing incentives and rewards :) -

philjd replied to PseudoMi's topic in General Discussion
Personally, giving away a T10 in any of their games should be a big 'no' as there are enough complaints over player abilities at t7+ already. Reasonable missions to achieve a ship are fine, but T10 should only be available to those who have ground their way to them. Hey, I like freebies as much as anyone, but there are limits to what ought to be given away. -
Thank you and apologies - were you playing @7.30pm uk time yesterday
philjd posted a topic in General Discussion
Hi Guys Just want to apologise for being one of those 'damned afkl'ers' yesterday - my client crashed while loading into the battle, locked the pc up, went to reboot and ouch, windows updates. By the time I managed to get back into the game you guys had won the battle. So if you were in a battle roughly 7.30pm yesterday, UK time, had an AFK Minsk that you were cursing, that was me, sorry about that. But well played and thank you for not reporting me :) Had one of those rare 100% win evenings (only 7 battles though), regardless of my contribution or lack of it at times. -
Thankfully - these games do remain fairly rare... but still 'surprising'/frustrating when they happen. Played a scenario last night - we had all 5 stars ramped up and ready.. but could myself and another team member get the others to get into the exit zone... nope, nada, tried quite a few languages for 'exit', but no joy (just pleased I already had the 5 star reward from a previous occasion). Will only do scenarios that offer rewards from now on, as the level of possible frustration is annoying.
-
I Must admit - the 'aft-vent' clue confused me for moment as I immediately thought a player may have been being polite about a new 'something' by WG....
-
OP - did you win the battle? Personally, IMO, the win/loss is much more effected by the quality of the players rather than the actual ships - good players adapt. (not claiming to be much of a game carrier myself).
-
I'd be very happy with being targetted like that - you obviously battled against the CV very effectively (even if mostly automatically), bad play by the red CV.
-
Thank you for organising this - I would like to enter. Choices in order:- 1) Roma if available, if not, Molotov 2) Arizona 3) Doubloons 4) Molotiv 5/6/7) Doubloons 8) either ship works for me. Forum and game names are the same. And, thank you once more.

Greatings and Salutations and Props to a great team.

^This Welcome from me also - I hope the rest of your game time is as positive as that particular experience. -
Which Ships you would you like to find in a supercontainer (but never buy) ?
philjd replied to Favuz's topic in General Discussion
For me Gremyashi (sic) - could have bought her when available but refused due to it being Russian and no sign of an RN ship in game at all at that time.... should have known it would be OP. Maybe Kamikaze R (if that's in the containers?), wouldn't buy as I have the Fujin. TBH, I am looking for modules in my SC's as I have all the premiums that I actually want... -
OP, you are being unfair in your response here, or have misread the post. There are times when some time away from the game will break a loss streak or set of bad games, even if it's just a quick cup of tea watching the telly (or whatever floats your boat :) ). Most normal people suffer from Game Fatigue and a losing streak doesn't help that :) (The language used was probably not the best, but the sentiment/message was fair).
