Nailed it! Anyone who takes this as a serious competitive game is doing it wrong.

It would be great if you could choose.

Ah that must be the end of the bundles then, GG!

OP I need your bank details so I can empty my bank acount into yours.

As i've said, if the bundles weren't working they would stop selling them quick sharp. My guess they'll continue selling mainly bundles, as clearly plenty enough people buy them, they'll probably offer a ship on it's own later on when bundle sales of that ship dry up.

1 french flag and 49 glorious russian flags - £50!

I tried carriers for a session during CBT, after around an hour I was ready to stab myself in the eyes.

The amount of negativity on the forums reflects the poor state of the game, don't expect it to stop any time soon.

I used to play all except carriers, but now I just play the odd few destroyer games once or twice a week, they're the only class that keep my interest.

Well lucky old tier 10!

Simple solution: Remove carriers from the game.

You could smash your PC with a sledge hammer - this is probably more effort than clicking 'Yes' but on the other hand would likely help you expend more of your rage. HTH

WG might be many things but they're not stupid when it comes to economic decisions, there is no way on earth they'd consider a subscription for this game, it'd probably reduce the playerbase to 4 figures overnight.

+1 for no cv mode.

As I said in the other thread, WG know their punters, if the bundles weren't working as a strategy then they would change. WG are a hard nosed business, if they persist with a particular sales strategy you can take that to mean it works well. Only way they'll change is if enough people vote with their wallets.

From what I've come to learn about WG over the last few months I presume they think it'll reduce their income or increase their costs in some way. Maybe they think it'll reduce playercount and with it dubloon sales, maybe it'll take someone more than half an hour to code and would therefore stretch the development budget.

Grind new ship which is slightly different from the last one, pay to transfer captain, play more games on the same handful of maps with the same bad joke of a matchmaker... Yeah, the repetition and lack of depth do get to be a problem. I'd decided to take a bit of break from WOWS but I think it'd have to change drastically to tempt me back now, it seems I've been spoilt by going back to a normal (pay up front) game with a shedload of content.

Probably double the development cost for the entire game.

I've never got into any WG game before but having been here a few months now this lot really know how to take the piss out of their customers don't they.

It does genuinely appear that they don't want anyone outside their existing playerbase to know about the game, pretty amazing really.

Christ no! The last thing we need is more time before seeing the enemy.

Trouble is that player doing so badly at higher tiers causes resentment, you could witness it in this game recently with all the colourful comments in chat about the 'wallet warrior noobs' and their 'Derpitzes' wrecking matches, I'm sure that kind of atmosphere encourages player's future spending as well. Personally i don't think you should be able to by a ship in a higher tier without reasonable experience in that tier, ain't gonna happen but would be better IMO.

We can hope, but then it took them god knows how long to bother to match one class, it could be years before it occurs to them that the balance should also apply to other classes.

I'm not a WOT player but a system where a premium makes you money no matter how badly you do sounds broken and I'm glad that's not the case here.

Game is not realistic, it doesn't aim to be.
