With respect, but you are talking a load of crap. Although Youtube removed the dislikes from view. They are still there, because it states that creators can still see the number of dislikes in their respective creation studios. I can prove this by looking at my own creation studio, where I can still see all the likes and dislikes of every video of my own https://www.makeuseof.com/the-real-reason-why-youtube-hid-dislikes/ So don't give me the crap that Youtube removed dislike counting. They didn't, they just hid the dislikes from plain sight. Now I don't care if the extension is not totally accurate. As far as I am concerned, it allows me to gauge how much a video is liked and disliked. Plus I don't give a monkeys t___ what you think. As far as I am concerned, more people dislike the official submarine videos, than people that like them. No amount of rubbish you come back with, will not change my opinion. So please don't even bother.

OK lets compare shall we. First of all, in your 10 examples, you are only quoting likes, with no quote for dislikes. So lets look at what I see in Google Chrome with the extension installed. 1. Tockachi video, 719 likes, 158 dislikes. 2. In a nutshell video battle pass, Jap light cruisers, 252 likes, 396 dislikes. 3. Battle pass video, 290 likes, 752 dislikes. 4. Graphics improve video, 498 likes, 27 dislikes. 5. Update 0.11.10 video, 880 likes, 927 dislikes. 6. In a nutshell, Velos in armoury video, 285 likes, 238 dislikes. 7. Behind the ships video, 221 likes, 262 dislikes. 8. Heritage of Velos video, 738 likes, 197 dislikes. 9. In a nutshell, King of the sea news video, 287 likes, 344 dislikes. 10. Halloween video, 241 likes, 281 dislikes. Now these 10 videos are pretty consistent with likes and dislikes. Now lets look at some submarine videos. 1. Submarines prepare to dive video, 813 likes, 3.1k dislikes. 2. Operation wolfpack video, 540 likes, 1k dislikes. 3. Submarines in early access video, 480 likes, 1.4k dislikes. 4. Submarines trailer video, 687 likes, 1.9k dislikes. 5. Silent running engaged, Subs in WoWS trailer video 451 likes, 2.2k dislikes. Now do you still want to claim that the submarine videos are getting a similar dislike ratio to all the other videos on that channel? The only other non submarine related video that I can see gets the same number of dislikes as a sub video, was the Waterline development plan updates video. Oh yes, that was the video where Wargaming announced that Submarines were ready for release. Surprise surprise, that video got 572 likes and 2.2k dislikes So with respect, but as far as talking about the like and dislike ratio on Submarine videos, you are plainly wrong.

Have you never thought of the idea of scaling up a poll by using the percentages. After all, that is how TV viewing figures are calculated. They use the percentage of people on their viewing panel that watch a particular program. Then they equate that percentage as a number of the millions of the population to get a rough viewing figure. We all know that the result of viewing figures for a TV program are not 100% accurate. But they are accepted. You could apply the same results to a forum poll. If 60% of answers to the poll, say they hate subs. Then you could do a rough translation to say that 60% of the general player base hate subs. I know its not accurate, but its an indication of the feeling in the player base. As far as Dislikes in Youtube videos go. Youtube did remove them, but you can still get to see them with browser extensions. Plus how can you say that the extensions are inaccurate. You can still dislike a video on Youtube. All the extension does is look at the code to reveal the number of likes and dislikes. I have heard that it only gathers numbers from users that have the extension installed. But you can still express the numbers as a percentage. Also I am only talking about videos on the Official World of Warships Youtube Channel that discuss Submarines. The results that I see tell me that far more people with the extension installed disliked the videos than those that liked it. The ratio is usually 3 to 1 against. Sometimes 4 to 1. So I do not see how you can say that sub videos are getting comparable likes to dislikes, when that is clearly not the case.

It's not just the forums though is it. I agree that the majority of the player base does not visit the forums. But of those that do visit, its been obvious that the majority don't want subs. Every poll put on the forum had a large result of players either not wanting subs altogether. Or they wanted subs in their own game mode only. But we also can look at the "like" & "dislike" ratio on every submarine video on the official YouTube channel. Some videos on subs get 4 times as many dislikes as it gets likes. But hey ho, in Wargamings blinkered views. They still think stupid subs are a good addition to the game. I think in time, they will be proved wrong. The continued adding of more subs into this game WILL DESTROY IT.

They may be popular at the moment. But I suspect that will die off after a short while. We all know that the community was overwhelmingly negative towards submarines during the last 3 years of testing. In my mind, the more players that play subs, then it is more likely that players like me will quit the game altogether. I have no desire to ever play subs, or CV's for that matter. Also, your statement that 90% of players don't want CV's and refuse to play them is totally wrong. More than 10% of players do play CV's, and feel free to provide evidence to the contrary if you can.

Maybe he is referring to a subs practical inability to attack a CV, because a CV gets the auto ASW.

2 and 3 subs per side games are becoming a complete joke. Well done Wargaming, you are doing great at ruining your once great game. Now it turns into more garbage with every patch.

Wow, that is utter garbage matchmaking. I was complaining about 1 CV and 2 subs per side lol. Wargaming do not know the meaning of the word "BALANCE".

With respect, but you only have to read the forums to find out that the majority do not want subs in the game. Or you could look at the dislike ratio on any official warships submarine youtube video. There you will find 4 times as many dislikes as likes, in some videos. Yes people are playing them now, but I hope that it will die down later.

What are you banging on about? I have had to play against submarines since they were put into random battles for testing. They have been in early access only since early October. Check out the news post about it: https://worldofwarships.eu/en/news/sales-and-events/armory-0119/ Now we are into the beginning of November and subs are out of early access already. But every other early access branch of ships has lasted for more than 1 patch. Look at early access of Japanese Light Cruisers. It looks like we have to wait till Jan 2023 to access them for free. We have to wait till update 0.12.0 whenever that may be. But like I said, subs have been in early access for less than a month. Now I see 2 subs per team in nearly every game. Usually with 1 CV too. Oh and do tell me how I gain XP on my ships in a training room.

I am not complaining about one sided games. I am complaining about subs ruining the gameplay for everybody else. People go on here and bang on saying subs are easy to defeat etc. Well, I can tell you that they are not. If you only have ship launched depth charges, you have to try to chase the sub down. While all the time you are being pinged with sonar and try to dodge the torps. Then if you do get on top of the sub, its pot luck whether you can kill it or not. Meanwhile, while you are chasing down that sub, you are exposing yourself to enemy fire. Or you are in a cruiser or BB with short range ASW planes. Good luck with those while trying to drop them onto a sub. Or when you are in a BB, and you have had to use you DC to stop flooding or put out fires that would kill you. How much fun is to be then pinged by a sub at close range. Then you eat a bunch of torps that you cannot avoid. Plus now every game has at least 1 CV and 2 subs per side now. The game has become a complete joke. ALL THIS BECAUSE OF WARGAMINGS PURE GREED. PS, did you notice that early access to subs only lasted for 1 patch cycle and about 1 month of game time. Now every player has access to subs for free. I am out of here pal. I have had enough.

Stupid submarines in the game, can only end up with one thing. FAR LESS PLAYERS CONTINUING TO PLAY. The game has turned into a complete joke. Early access subs lasted just one patch cycle, and about 1 month of game time. Now they have let every player have access to subs for free. RESULT = EVERY GAME HAS AT LEAST 1 CV AND 2 SUBMARINES ON EACH SIDE. The game has become a total waste of time to play if you are a player that is not interested in ever playing a stupid submarine.

Isn't it funny that there was only 1 patch and about 1 month of time when stupid submarines were in early access. Now 1 month later, every man and his dog can get a submarine for free. Gee Wizz, I assume that Weegee could not wait to give us all subs to play. The game is now a complete joke.

95% of games now are 2 subs and at least 1 CV per side. Oh and isn't it funny that every early access event of a new ship line lasted for several patches and at least a couple of months in game time. Yet Submarines were only in early access for about a month, and only one patch. Now every tom [edited] and harry can grind a sub for free after only a month of early access. I guess Wargaming cannot wait for all the whales to grab a sub to play.

You made the mistake of continuing to concentrate on firing at the ships on your port side. Everybody knows that when you encounter a submarine pinging you. You have to stop everything you are doing and complete "SIMPLE MANOEUVRES" to avoid the submarine. Submarines in WoWS are pathetic. THEY WILL NEVER FIT IN THE GAME AND WARGAMING WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO BALANCE THEM.

Oh Wargaming. You lot must be on FULLERS. Because you ain't on THIS EARTH for sure. I am so glad I un-installed your once great game. Now its turning into a pathetic existence. Who will want to play any DD with these stupid Russian bias crap in the game? Also, who will want to play any slow BB with these stupid ROCKET TORPS in the game. I am out of here, how more pathetic can you get?

Its OK mate. I now know I was mistaken. It was that I had never heard a news post or a forum post from Wargaming, ever referring to Special Ships. I know what Superships are. They are ships that I will never own lol. Anyway, originally I wasn't talking about Special Ships or Superships. I was talking about the possibility of the number of Premium Ships being released by Wargaming, having an effect on the matchmaker. EG the more people may be playing tier 8 and 9 premium ships. Thereby it may be more often when playing a tier 7 ship, to be put bottom tier. It happened in WoT due to the number of premium tier 8 tanks in that game. I was speculating that the same could be happening in Warships, but to a lesser extent.

Oh I am so sorry. It appears that I may be wrong. Oh dear, never mind eh. My original statement about premium ships still stands.

I have been getting the following bug for months. When I log into the game, the clan chat box has a small number 2 next to it. I assume this means that there are 2 new clan chat messages. The thing is, if I click on clan chat. The small number 2 disappears. This implies that I have read the clan chat. But time and time again, the next time I log back into the game. The small number 2 is back. Why is this bug still about? I have been getting it for months.

Wrong again, Moskva is described in the WoWS Wiki page as a Soviet Tier X Cruiser. Not as a Special Ship. Prove to me beyond doubt that a Wargaming employer has called any ship in the game a "Special Ship".

https://worldofwarships.eu/en/search/?query=superships Do that search and plenty of Supership articles appear. Do the same search for Special Ships and surprise surprise, NO articles appear. I do a quick search of the Dev Blog Forum for the term "Special Ships" from any Wargaming employer. Guess what, not one post was found with the term special ships. So you are wrong, Wargaming do not refer to any ship as a "Special Ship"

Right mate. For a start, Wargaming do not refer to them as "Special Ships". They refer to them as "Superships". It was Pete that called them Special Ships. Also I never said that Superships were Premium Ships. My point was that the rise in the numbers of premium ships in the game could be effecting the matchmaker at higher tiers. This happened in WoT due to the excessive number of tier 8 premium tanks released by Wargaming. I was saying that the same thing could be happening in WoWS. What can Wargaming do to get more money? The obvious answer is to to bring out more and more premium ships. Especially, premium ships at tier 8 and 9. The more tier 8 and 9 premium ships that get added to the game, the more the matchmaker takes the strain. Assuming they sell a lot of those higher tier premium ships in the first place. For instance, if you are playing a tier 7 ship. If there are more and more tier 8 & 9 premium ships in the game, and being played. Then its not rocket science to assume that you can start to see more and more games where you are bottom tier when playing a tier 7. That is what I was going on about.

God you are so full of it. Do you really think I don't know what a premium ship is? But thanks for sharing. I will now go away with the knowledge that you are so far up Wargamings back end, you smell of you know what.

What the hell are you on about. Full of crap as usual. WTF is a Special Ship anyway. Never heard any Wargaming employer refer to ships as special except you. Oh and as for tier 9 premiums. There are 12 for sale alone in the premium shop today. 9 that can be bought with coal and 1 that can be got for steel in game too Tier 10, there are 10 that can be got with coal, 9 for steel. Plus there are players that hold high tier premium ships that are no longer available. Take a look at the WoWS Wiki page, and count up how many premium ships of all tiers are in the game in one form or another. You will be surprised at the total number you will find. Oh and sharing a stupid Russian web site means nothing to me. Try sharing something that can actually be read by someone that doesn't speak Russian.

So, what. Its still a true statement. Plus it was never as bad as only playing one battle a week. I doubt there is a player out there that only plays one battle a week.
