Russian battleships? No thanks. If WG introduce Archangelsk before RN BB's... I shall write them a strongly worded letter... C'mon WG, there are ships you could put in, y'know that actually existed and had a marked impact on the World history. I was so stoked for WOWS, having loved Naval history from a young age, and to me, putting paper ships in, sucks balls. Stop dicking about with KGB sekrit documents, and prioritise ACTUAL ships from Nations other than Glorious Russia. (You may find that this actually increases your player base).

Nope, Britain was producing far more reinforcements of aircraft and pilots for the RAF than Germany, so much so, that the RAF maintained its strength whilst the Luftwaffe declined in size. There has been a few simulations run that extrapolate the data in a scenario where the Luftwaffe continued to attack fighter command. They come to the conclusion that the Luftwaffe would last 3,5 months before running out of pilots and aircraft. Every nation got battered by another at some point, through skill, dumb luck, technology, and mainly attrition. Bismarck was unlucky, Hood was unlucky, every single person caught up in the whole mess was unlucky. I agree, simply because Britain alone had a greater industrial capacity than Germany. WW2 was a numbers game. Thr Luftwaffe could not defeat the RAF, therefore at sea the Luftwaffe and KM could not defeat RN, therefore WM could not get a foothold on Britain.

Not quite, Brit cruiser classes are confusing, and the information that WG give the player is equally confusing. The County Class Cruiser was a 1920s 8" Heavy cruiser, not in game, and completely separate to RN Light Cruisers. This is HMS Devonshire, a County Class cruiser. Fiji and Edinburgh are Crown Colony and Town Class Light Cruisers respectively. They are 1930's light cruisers armed with 6" guns. The 'ships in class' WG use is not always clear to what it includes . As they can include ships laid down, but not completed. So dont take that at face value. For example 'Fiji' is a Crown Colony Class cruiser, of which 11 were completed. WG Ships in class = 11 'Edinburgh' is a Town Class cruiser, of which 10 were completed (in 3 sub-classes Southampton, Gloucester, and Edinburgh). WG Ships in class = 2 So I can see why it looks like they are grouped together, but the RN had many cruisers. A big ship missing from the Light Cruiser line is the Dido AAA Cruiser.

That may work, ala Montana. I guess with a 1945+ update to give it whatever consumables it needs to be competitive. I think N3 and G3 are a little bit too unconventional for the 1st RN BB line, especially as we have Lion. I would hope we will get G3 N3 with the RN BC line.

Correct, typo on my behalf. It would be a shame if WG went down this route. As WG want to maintain calibre progression, it presents a problem: T6 Warspite 15" T7 Nelson 16" T8 KGV 14" (15" proposed) T9 Lion 16"

Royal Navy BBs have a tree up to Tier 9, then it is fantasy for 10. Warspite is 6 PoW will either be 7 or 8, depending on who you listen to. The KGV is likely to do a Gneisneau and appear with 9x16" at T8, with PoW with 14" being a Premium . RE Tenryu, she is attributed to sinking USS Quincy at Savo Island, and helped with the others. HMAS Canberra was a County Class cruiser. County Class, one of the most (im)famous cruiser classes, still missing from WoWS

Another for Smoke issue on RN cruisers. Smoke is inconsistent. Even when running at the magical 12.5 kts. Just would like to add, if the answer is "working as intended", how are you supposed to reliably generate 2 smoke puffs? Everything suggested does not work reliably.

Agreed, but I was thinking of 2 of AFT vs FP, vs CE

Great write up. Need a hand with Warspite, deciding on 3 and 4 point skills... I like secondaries, but I also like not being in fire....

Not for me. Pretty much the opposite of what the game needs right now. What are the Devs going to do when they run out of paper Russian designs? - I mean this looks like it would struggle to stay afloat in a canal.

No replays. 24gb seems enormous...

Same as OP, updates folders are empty. 21GB in the res_packages folder.

I would have gone: IJN + USN, RN + KM, RM + MN, RNN, etc as the format. Releasing the typical enemies together. Ru ships would have been premium only, with maybe a DD line thrown in eventually. A game based on a theme, should stick to the theme.

Not currently, but once they remove invisi firing, this could be a good concept.

This thread. I would love to see better camo patterns. The standard ones in game are awful.

Warspite is my favourite BB in game, but she is still too high in the water. Whilst she suffers from poor RP, turret traverse, and range; it is worth reminding you that she has great gun power, manoeuvrability, accuracy, heal, secondaries and concealment. Line up shots in advance, wiggle like a cruiser after firing, and disengage if you are taking too much damage, heal and come back. Imo she is balanced, maybe a little UP. A little lower in the water and normal RP would be welcomed.

First game in the (stock) Fiji with standard consumables:

How WG can fix this, how about a leaf out of the totally not half baked GNB event: "It's a mystery! - Reveal the prize if you reach an unreachable goal"

I would just like to know why they are discriminating one server. What is the actual reasoning. Even if the reason was: "We can make more money from EU"

Lets guess the not half baked solution: (Totally wont be determined by a dice roll) 1. Ridiculously hard mission with crap prizes (so you can spend time with family) 2. Delay the Royal Navy 3. Delay the Italian Navy 4. More Russian Premiums 5. Nerf DDs 6. not fix CVs

1x1€ 2x3€ 1x5€ Plenty of Flags/Camos Oh and a Marblehead and Atago (both 3euro) literally 5 mins ago.

"The structure of the campaign combined with its time limitation did not, in our opinion, provided anyone except top payers, the option to get the items without major time commitment" -Ph3lan Missions 3 + 4 is a joke. Which is fine, but it literally flies in the face of something than WGEU JUST SAID. HYPOCRITICAL FOOLS. On a serious note, WG, I can do a better job than the entire WGEU staff. Hire me i will be much cheaper than all the staff. Admittedly I will just hire a monkey with a keyboard who will occasionally throw poop, but I figure this would be less damaging than your current staff at WGEU. Also, is it possible to migrate servers? I would like to keep progress but not keep WGEU. Im going to log a support ticket to suggest that as an option.

I would love to have seen the meeting where this stupid decicion was signed off. How could they not have seen this coming? On a more cynical note, what does this say about the people running WGEU, and WG as a whole? It shows a lack of fore sight, a lack of understanding the customer base, it demostrates that EU is actively discriminated against by WG, when compared to global servers. If I was at WG I would be asking serious questions about the competency of people managing WGEU. The decision is largely irrelevant, what I want to know is, Why and How the decision was made, because that is the most troubling aspect.

RN BB's are coming??? Roughly how long does it take from 3d modelling to game? 6 months?

Funny that. USN in WW2 1,200 major combatant ships, including 27 aircraft carriers and 8 battleships, and had over 70% of the world's total numbers and total tonnage of naval vessels of 1,000 tons or greater. IJN in WW2 third most powerful navy in the World, and clashed a number of times in major fleet actions with the USN 400 major combatant ships, including 15 fleet carriers,12 battleships, 50+ Cruisers. Soviet Navy in WW2 Not comparable to USN or IJN, had no fleet actions.had no fleet actions. 2 Pre WW1 Battleships, 1 Royal Navy battleship(Royal Sov), 7 cruisers (including WW1 relics), a small collection of destroyers, most of which were old and outdated. The Soviet navy during the time period of WOWS was less than 1% strength of the USN (end of war). Hence the saltiness
