No, there are two options during the battle. Block Messages and Ignore List.

Did you use the actual Ignore list feature or just "block messages", as this only relates to ingame chat and quick commands, not port messages.

It is even funnier because the new mechanic is mainly intended for a class/system that is completely contradicting what the players enjoying this mode actually want for the game.

This is peak WG. Introduce something people like and add testing new mechanics on top of it.

While in div, I met @SnuSnu_RIP in Airship Escort. I think we killed 1 ship and lost. 9/10

I think its called "Random Battles" and many cruisers or battleships willingly click into it.

I am playing U-190 in Airship Escort. Send me 200'000 Free-XP and I will not do it.

WoWs on Steam is often hosting contests for ingame rewards or steam wallet money. During November to December 2022 they hosted an event in which you got 5 Dineros worth of money for winning 10 games. https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/552990/view/3639501150891422770 I assume this pleased the masses, as many picked up the game just to get the reward and buy another game. WoWs on Steam is also known to bolster its Steam Page activity by holding contests: https://steamcommunity.com/app/552990/eventcomments/3163209975778087424?snr=1_2108_9__2107 https://steamcommunity.com/app/552990/eventcomments/3765607648976046314/

No. T10 CV decks have too much armor, ranging from 50-102mm. You can reliable pen the 50mm on Nakhimov and German CVs for 10-20k per drop, but anything else is non-penetration territory. FDR is generally a bad choice to snipe, despite its high alpha. The planes are very slow with huge squads, making them easy targets for fighters. Many people meme on fighters because "hurr durr useless, plains still go brr" but FDR can be actively caught out by fighters, especially if you yourself dont have that much CV experience. This makes it easy for the enemy CV to anticipate, block and even avoid your strikes, at least if he knows what he is doing. Since plane regen on FDR is horrible, you wont get much of a 2nd chance anyways. Immelmann can work, but scales with your ability to aim and hit skip bombs. It has the speed and the reserves, but if you dont aim well, you will hit armored belts or saturate for 5k hits after a while, forcing the kill wont be time effective anymore. The torps are okay and if you mix them in, you can take a CV down in adequate time. The recommended Nakhi is a mixed bag, it presents the same issues but with slower planes. Ironically Nakhimov is the easiest CV to snipe, due to its massive, exposed citadel, any BB can hit it for massive damage if caught out too close, so there are only little options to increase your damage against the enemy CV. If you know how and where to aim, Nakhi is among the faster CV snipers in terms of armament. The top spot is still Richthofen, highest plane speed plus AP rockets that can citadel CVs for 15-20k if aimed correctly. The torps are weak, but the speed makes up for them.

I am satisfied with the current status of the game. Yet I would not recommend it to others, or at least with a fair warning.

no clan = bot

Whats your chosen aspect ratio? What settings did you choose for GUI scale, camera height and field of view? Any mods used? I am also using 3340x1440 with aspect ratio auto, GUI at 125%, FoV 50° and camera height 2. Everything looks fine ingame and my port looks normal to me:

The logic behind the invincibility window is, that during a short time of striking you are locked into a necessary animation and dont have full control anymore. These so called "i-frames" are a common thing in video games and using/abusing them correctly allows players to avoid specific instances of damage. In WoWs, this applies to AA and fighters against planes in their machine-gun or regrouping animation. This Topic summarizes most things, even though it is related to CV squad based fighters. Many people expect fighters to be an "activate to destroy planes button", but it is not that simple. Make sure to read @El2aZeR's comment, it clarifies some points.

I did the 1000 main battery hits in 3 rounds of airship escort, twice with Neptune and then Sejong. Surely not the most effective ships to win, but people tend to push in a lot, paths are predictable and even unexperienced players like me can get easy hits on all those fat GKs and Preussens. If the team dice rolls on "more than 5 minute game" it should be easily possible to get more hits than in a Coop.

Havent met many and those I met were either testers or of the same breed as stationary Kearsarge support CVs.

Noice I got lucky back then with the T9 for the Pan-Asian cruisers and spent some dubs on skipping the grind, but this time its just some XP boost, not gonna gamble anything.

The joke here is that I indeed said bad things earlier (at least I am pretty sure I did) but despite opening/forwarding like 3 tickets I never got in touch with a human at the customer support, that could actually provide logs why I have been chatbanned. It was always an automated response, picking my last chat interaction (gl hf) as a reason and then it closed the ticket. The more you know.

Depends how often I tell my divmates "cu later and have fun".

The silent majority has spoken.

Odd number CVs are coming back with minefields and smoke drops in testing.

Dont forget about U-2501 and Balao Class submarines as well.

Usual T10 snoozefest by the same few sweaty players. Time to introduce submarines to freshen things up!
