    How to report hackers outside of game or post-limit reach?

    How are you certain his fighters are weaker? Do you just mean in terms of numbers? Are you paying attention to the tier of your opponent's CV? Does he strafe or not? Is he in something like the Saipan with uptiered figthers?

    Warspite AI

    Whilst there is perhaps no need for some of replies they are just jokes and you shouldn't take them to heart so much. But, the fact remains that the first reply is entirely correct - it didn't happen and the reason for this is that it cannot happen. The planes that bombed you did not belong to the Warspite.

    How to report hackers outside of game or post-limit reach?

    I can spot an AFKer as well as the next guy but please explain in detail how you spot these people who "don't play legal" - I want to become chief-anti-hax-spotter too!

    Getting a Campbeltown for free

    I love how he misses everything on the launcher, everything in game telling him about the event, finds it in his port and then manages to miss the news page and come to the forum to ask what is going on. These are the people that sail down the map edge, don't defend when they can save a loss, don't know what a mini map is and torp their team mates from the back line.

    How to make play CV impossible

    Ryujo was my least favourite IJN CV but part of that was my inability to use her properly - at the time I felt completely ineffective without running AS and that just made me ineffective but with more plane kills. The Hiryu was a massive leap forwards though. But, I still wouldn't generally go for an uptiered BB in my CV, certainly a low tier one with crap reserves (well I might go for an IJN one). When loading the map I look at the teams and figure out which ships are good targets, which are ok and which are terrible. In the OP's case I would only hit the Gneisenau if there were no other options and preferably after it had taken some damage already to reduce its AA.
  6. Last night I saw Spithas. I didn't say hello as I only noticed him half way through the game and by that point we were both busy (he wanted to kill me). I was in my Benson and he was in his Des Moines but it was never really a contest over which team would win as their Yamato YOLOd straight down the middle, ate about 8 torps (1 of mine, 5 from a Lo Yang plus I think others) and died within say 3 minutes. He came up in chat saying he wasn't supported by his cruisers as though he seriously expected them to sail straight into the middle and their team was on the back foot from there. I fired some torps off and hit Spithas and he headed my way but I smoked up and tried to shoot a NC - I was kinda trapped between them. His radar came up but I managed to block LoS with an island and head back into the smoke once it went off. I dropped more torps but became visible through proximity. He had to turn away from them dodging them nicely but he was in a crap place himself and unfortunately he was took 1-2 citadels for it and died just after as he was getting his guns on me. I was alive on low health but with torps and smoke on reload with an NC within spitting distance I didn't last very long but it was a comfortable win for our team.
  7. I killed 4, then 2 and i didn't get it. Needed a 3rd game where i got a 7th kill to get it.

    Karma question

    I have had my Karma up to the heady heights of 6! ...on 2 separate occasions! ...but I always manage to lose it again and nowadays I probably only look at it once every week or 2 (who knows - maybe it has even been higher than 6!). I am an above average player and that sometimes earns me it, and I do say nice things in chat some of the time (but often too busy or am on the opposite side to someone doing something noticeably good) so I have earned a reasonable amount in my time. But, on the flip side I sometimes get angry. Well quite a bit I guess. I would be genuinely interested to see how much positive and how much negative karma I have earned since it was introduced.

    birthday event full explaination

    Indeed they did not explain it in details but they did tell you that they were not going to explain the event in massive detail: There is a twist though: while you will be able to see the achievements, you won't be told explicitly how to unlock them – just think of them as covert achievements.

    Prinz Eugen available in NA

    Poor value for money. I mean you could argue that none of them are but inside the closed world of WoWs it is poor value. I'm definitely going to keep my money in my pocket.
  11. You can't get them all if you only play CV either. Or you can't get them all if you don't want to play co-op. I could make some vaguely more ridiculous criteria but those 2 are totally legit but you somehow only focussed on what is 'fair' for you...
  12. Whilst we certainly don't see eye to eye on everything I'm totally with you on this - this is a BS decision. A real slap in the face. I run premium and I have far too many premium ships in all honesty. I actually do not need to buy another premium at all - I managed 26k WoT games with about 3 premiums total - but, I want to buy more but I don't think I should be penalised just because I don't want a commemorative flag and other bits of tat attached every time.
  13. That might have been more interesting if they had not just promised to hand out hundreds of dragon flags... and it is only ever going to train KM captains. Not enough of a selling point to me at all.

    Remove US BB line from game

    What was the change in this patch that improved something like 158/160* ships in the game? EDIT: got that number from a quick count on the wiki page - includes ARP ships, maybe some ships under test (but not RN CL) and potentially my bad maths.

    Remove US BB line from game

    I take it he just hid his profile? Anyway, my US BBs are still performing fine thanks... I'm thinking the problem isn't with the ship...
  16. ...second attempt at writing this Met kfa on my team, him in his Atago and me in my Shiny Horse. Map was Tears of the Desert on the new game mode. Them having 2 DDs to our 1 definitely helped and they quickly got the 2 inner circles and killed our DD. Our team blocked the outer cap and for most the game kept on the middle cap which I assume blocks the points like in domination but they had a free run on the inner circle and we did not have the coordination to challenge them at all. We lost with me top and kfa second.
  17. I think I was on about 8-9 wins but in the last 3 games I have been rammed 3 times. It is hard for me in my Konig to stop an Isyslav in a full 360 turn from hitting me when I'm focussed on actually trying to stop another loss. The game after that an AFK Colorado came back and ended up ramming my Lexington fully 8 minutes into the game...
  18. So that will be its selling point? I mean, it is a unique characteristic if they make it significantly higher than other premiums but tbh I would rather play a better (fun) premium twice than a 'meh' premium once.
  19. OP clearly went off on his own and got bummed.
  20. I killed 4. Then 2. Got no reward. Went in a 3rd game and killed a 7th and it gave me it...
  21. quoted post removed He did post his Tirpitz stats and he is distinctly average... which in fairness may make him a good barometer of these things. Better players can get to 15 skill points faster than him but he perhaps represents a reality for more people... although he neglects to include things the 50% commander XP flag in his calculations.
  22. Well, we still are not there then but mine was defo from a DB.
  23. Nope: http://forum.worldofwarships.eu/index.php?/topic/61233-the-birthday-achievements-here-is-a-list-of-how-to-unlock-each-achievement-and-the-rewards/page__st__100__pid__1279164#entry1279164 I'm going with 50k damage in a CV... but potentially spread across games. Did you get it in your first CV game?
  24. Nope. Please see: Things to note: Defo DBs Bombs hit (but not first bombs) Started a fire (but not first fire) Defended cap (this was a first) Destroyed AA gun 2x bomb hit (unsure for others but probably would have had some multiple hits there) Over 5k damage done with bombs (these rewards seem to love the number 5) Just pushed over 50k dmg too
  25. You clearly are not reading the rest of the thread. You get it on the 15th plane you shoot down.
