There are so many ridiculous topics where you could put that comment with some validity and yet you save it up for a topic where the OP makes a perfectly valid point. Nice.

As mentioned 3k players is not giving much for the MM to work with. However I was under the impression that it would not mismatch - it should throw people out rather than do that after they have said it won't

Excellent post. However, I disagree with the separate language servers for many reasons ranging from the server population to the fact that it wouldn't stop people from doing their own thing anyway - the chat window is a very limited communication tool for organising either teams or small divisions within a team and that isn't a language issue - you get too busy and you cannot be granular enough (in respect to timing, who you want to respond to a msg or the level of detail you might need to get everyone on the same page). Also, soon enough you get too busy fighting and then chat goes out of the window.

I have been wondering how widespread the in game reporting is used by people playing WoWs. People familiar with WoT (which only has reporting as opposed to any positive settings) will know that you can right click on people in battle and in WoWs you can then go into either a compliment or report menu and then further select a reason for your report/compliment. Also, in WoWs you can access these options in the after battle report which is handy. What I want to try and see (through the small prism of forum users) is a) who uses them at all, and b) how they use them. Also, do you think the system should be changed perhaps adding more options within each section than the current 3 of each or do you think that people should have a higher daily limit for each? Apologies if the poll isn't granular enough but hopefully it covers things broadly speaking. If anyone is interested then I'm option 2

Unfortunately I had already used my downvote before I stumbled across this ridiculous thread. But here, have a pretend -1.

Define lots? 50% of people? More? Less?

I'm yet to receive this kind of response once. People either ignore me (most of the time), suggest the opposite (thanks) or say ok.

Whilst I think suggesting too early is a mistake due to the slow loading times some people suffer (non-SSD) I would also say too late in is likely to be as problematic as people have already started moving to.. wherever. I try to do it at about 0.

I'm going to just quote my post from the greatest gaming achievements thread as I don't really remember it to well: So, I did win by cap as opposed to taking them all out, but considering the forces arrayed against me it was a bit of a surprise that I was able to do so...

Yes, I think the last part. Your average incensed racist can't probably think of any insults relating to Norwegians (neither can I for that matter). What are they going to insult? Your high standard of living? Your beautiful country? Your sensible use of oil revenues to help promote your high standard of living? Whereas let's face it the Germans are an easy target due to parts of their history.

Unfortunately you are an easy target with your nationality in your name. I'm not at all condoning or justifying people's actions but in the relatively anonymous world of the internet 1) people can get away with it and 2) the ones who do are not the most inventive so if you hand them an easy aspect of your person to turn their vitriol on then they will take it. It is a sad state of affairs but I don't see it ending any time soon...

Yesterday I was in my Zuiho (tier V) with, I think, a langley on my team and that was mirrored on the other side. I don't know if the Zuiho was stock, but what I do know is I got 28 plane kills and 15 were fighters. So, as much as the IJN fighters are generally weaker in an advantageous situation you can do very nicely. Unfortunately the other carriers got killed before I managed to get my 30 for clear skies...

1) have you upgraded the fighters? It should be your first upgrade when you get a new carrier 2) have you added the upgrades and captain skills that might help? 3) up until tier VI cruiser AA can be anywhere between hopeless to... kinda ok - make sure any cruiser you bait them over isn't something like a St Louis as they won't help chew up enemy planes at all

Having read the last couple of pages of this thread I have absolutely no desire to hunt out anything else that you have put on the forum

Technically the topic was about the recovery of the ships bell...

I haven't used more than about 4 flags so far... I figure I want them for when I am at higher tiers and currently I am at tier VI with 1 ship (excluding my Atago which is where I have used the 4 flags thus far).

My assumption (and it is very much that) would be that compliments act as a counter-weight to reports. So, if a division of 3 players get angry and all report you, but you have 300 compliments to your name the system would kind of ignore them. If all you have is reports then it perhaps suggests that you really are the d-bag the reporter is suggesting you are. Getting a message to say you have received a compliment would be nice though - they definitely should not show negative reports though... that would just turn a disagreement in chat more toxic I expect.

Nice video +1. I was always going to buy the Tirpitz but knowing the weaknesses/strengths is definitely a plus when it comes to getting the most out of it. p.s. 4 citadel hits from 1 salvo

A related question: If it is the case that AA damage is done in a bubble based on distance from your ship that is fine but does the position of the aircraft in relation to your ship affect the visualisation of your AA weapons firing? It certainly seems to me that if I am head on to incoming planes it can often look (and sound) like only about 2 guns are firing but then side on all hell breaks loose!

People are not being stubborn. Sure it is a drag through tier 3 and 4 but after that a competent player can be an asset to their team. If you can't perform well in higher tier BBs (I might exclude the tier VII BBs from that) then the problem is more likely with you...

Not needed. Practice / trail-and-error is more than enough.

Another thing with Myogi is the great firing angles which means if you get hung out to dry you can sail away from the enemy at a slight angle with all guns firing, your speed still increasing the range and your angle protecting you from citadel hits. Most other BBs require a much flatter angle in order to fire a broadside.

This really. BBs are intended to be a harder class to play and the first 2 ships (particularly in the IJN line) are pretty horrible. But, the Kongo is a decent ship and from playing the Fuso in CBT I can tell you that is good too.

Thanks for this. I love glimpses into global stats.

What ammo were you using? What cruiser was shooting you?
