the sonar works just for the close proximity detection (2km if i remember corectly), and the plane must be near the DD to detect him. And if he even apears for 2 sec before launching torps, he is a bad DD player (except if he is murican DD)

wait till you reach tier 7, when you begin to lose credits, even with premium

guys, just be aware if something like that happen, and send a replay. I had some strange spotting things yesterday, so maybye there is a bug with the spotting system. Also, sometimes i see glitches on the minimap, even at the begining of the match where there cant be anything in the middle. Also, be sure that you have the situation awareness perk working.

since i don't speak german, anyone can make a better translation? https://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?depth=1&rurl=translate.google.nl&sl=auto&tl=en&u=http://wg-news.com/ranked-modus-und-deutscher-techtree-in-world-of-warships/&usg=ALkJrhi1WEADaSunc0gjVbqANp_Z_PZIlg Aparently it will come at the end of the month, and i suspect it will be similar to what is present in WOT.

Man, it's beautifull aparently you can play it at gamescon.

As i stated in other posts related, the problem is not the xp, it's the credits. In WOT i brind 9 lines and i never feeled the need to grind xp or silver, the progresion was natural, up to tier 8,,havent been higher. With a premium account, even i i was killed outright in a match, i NEVER lose silver. In WOWs, due to the prohibitive cost of ammo and repairs begining at tier 7, you can begin to lose silver if you don't have a good match. And dont even start on the costs of ships and upgrades... And in WOT, ar higher tiers you got way more better guns, armor and HP than in WOWs, so your earning curve is getting down the higher you go in tiers. So the grind become more and more difficult. The ammo and repair costs are the biggest problem i think. Guns remain the same, but the repairs cost almost double each tier? The ship have a measely 1000 hp more, but the repair/maintenance costs double also? Logicaly, there is no point playing higher tiers now, and it creates a toxic meta where everyone is affraid of taking damage, even on premium account.

Amazing what program are you using to read the game files? I dont see them on http://gamemodels3d.com/worldofwarships/

Well, i don't have problems with the XP. The problem is silver. In WOT, playing the tank at an average level, you earn enough to buy the next tank when you attain the desired xp amount, at least until tier 9. And even some consumables, and equipement that you demount after sellingbthe tank, even some upgrades are common between some lines. Here, you must keep your tier 5 or 6 ships to grind silver, to be able to buy the next tiers ships. My moneymakers are my minekaze, gremlin and fuso. I earn, after repair costs, around 150 000 silver on each, in a good play. If i have a bad play, it gives me around 50 000 silver. At higher tier, in an average match, i won around 50 000 silver, and lose around 40 000 in a bad match. And remembee that costs for ships and modules are a lot higher in higher tiers... So, you earn less, and even begin to lose silver at higher tiers than 6. It also depends of the ship class, carriera and BBs have it easier (longer time spent in a match). In WOT, the gain of silver tend to be higher, the higher tier you are, especialy with premium. Here, it's the inverse, which is not normal.

oh yeah? in WOT i grind 9 lines with premium, and i NEVER had a loss in credits in a match, even at the higher tiers (tier 8 for now). I repost what i have written in beta feedback, since not too many people post there: I'm now at tier 8 DD (yes i know i'm a masoshist ). If you are killed at the begining of the game ( so you do little/no damage), the repair costs are more than 80k, so, even with premium, i lose 40k... Even if the match is a win, but i don't have many damage (almost no ships on the side i sailed), or fire a lot of torps but not so many connects (ammo is expensive at high tier), i lose money too. Again, with premium, can't even imagine without... Now, i also got my tier 7 IJN cruiser. It's stock, so not so impresive. Even there, if a have a not so good match, i loose money... At tier 7 for god's sake! With premium! In WOT, i have reached 8 tier in some lines, and even if i have a shitty match, i NEVER lose money... With a premium account... At tiers 1 to 6 it's fine, ammo and repairs dont cost too much, and i'm always earning. After, it's a nightmare and i don't blame all the cautious players that don't want their paint scratched... Maybye it's intentional, so you must grind money at lower tiers, but it creates a situtation that you are very frustrated to play higher tiers, because of the shitty economy. Oh, and one more thing: the tier 7 Myoko: you have the first hull upgrade which cost more than a million, then the seond one, which just ads some AA, but costs more than a million too! So whats the point of not skipping the first hull and and wait to buy the second? developers must adress this high tier economy, because if not, people will just play the lower tiers, without premium. The higher tier ships are not more powerfull enough compared to lower tiers to make you really want to,progress. An average player with a premium account should never loose money, even after a bad match, except maybye for tier 9-10.

Found the link: http://forum.worldofwarships.com/index.php?/topic/41728-dealing-damage-in-wows/ Read about the damage threaholds. If a section is at it's second destroyed threahold,mir will take no dmg drom torps.

Yep, would definitively help, bump

I made a post about high tier economy in the beta feedback section, feel free to join the discusion: http://forum.worldofwarships.eu/index.php?/topic/24792-high-tier-economy-is-ridiculus/

Can't find the link, but in some post about the mechanics of the game, if a section of the ship have suffered enough damage, it won't be damaged furthermore, or something like that. So maybye your torp have hit a section that was already almost destroyed.

BBs scale more nicely than other ships (more HP, more armor, bigger guns, more dmg...) so the problem is not so high. And maybye you are a good player, i'm just average, and reached only tier 6 on BBs, and earning nice on it for the moment.

I'm now at tier 8 DD (yes i know i'm a masoshist ). If you are killed at the begining of the game ( so you do little/no damage), the repair costs are more than 80k, so, even with premium, i lose 40k... Even if the match is a win, but i don't have many damage (almost no ships on the side i sailed), or fire a lot of torps but not so many connects (ammo is expensive at high tier), i lose money too.

it's 10:24 and the server is still down? there was a problem with the patch?

Cool story bro...

Myogi maxed can be very good and kongo is a beast, you have given up too early, all tier 3 and 4 BBs suck...

The most annoing thing in high tier DDs play, is the cost of repairs... Fubuki is like 80k, so imagine if you are detected early and rected, without doing any damage, it's -40k loss, with premium! Higher tier ships of other class, can always survive more, do some damage and earn some money. DDs need to play wery carefully at this tiers, but not too much or you wont earn a lot.

there will be mods, like for the japanese rising sun flag, don't worry

No one took the bait? I' disapointed...

It's not that bad... Play it like a little smiping BB, and upgrade everything, it becomes playable.
