Hi, That's the first thing that occurred to me as well. I'm quite prepared to admit I'm missing something obvious here - wouldn't be the first time - but I don't see it. Right ship, criteria met as far as I can tell, I'm hardly a novice at the game after all. Here's the relevant details from the first game, second was a defeat but also cleared the 1100 base XP requirement - just. Mission still shows not completed. has anybody actually done the mission? Sod it: scrub everything above, just realised - base, isn't premium! Apologies. Gary Gary

Gents, Am I missing something with the PE Fred mission in the second directive? This morning I've now cleared the 1100 base XP using that ship in two battles (a win and a defeat but there's no win requirement shown), and it doesn't register. Screenies available if required. Gary

Guys, Got the Flint on Thursday evening after getting the final batch of steel I needed in ranked. As I'd been planning this for a while I'd been playing a lot of Atlanta, partly to build up the skipper who would transfer over and also to get myself back into the habit of the playstyle required. I generally do pretty okay in the Atlanta so expected it to continue. Thursday evening was a disaster, maybe I was too over confident but it started bad and got worse. After going back last night and today, it's back to where I hoped. The Flint is a monster in the right hands. I'm currently on a run of 8 games without defeat in it, and am averaging about 3 kills a game. This is in randoms. After a initial hiccup, I can say it is the ship I expected. Gary

Same here, I've been putting off jobs this weekend just to get this damn mission done. Whilst it might be Wargaming's intention to get people playing, I just tend to find you suffer from WoWS fatigue when up against a deadline like this, making players take a extended break from the game. I'm having a break...after I take the Exeter out for a spin obviously... Gary

All, Just finished it, took 23 games in co-op this morning using the Warspite and Nelson exclusively to get 20 citadels. I must admit to doing things you wouldn't normally just to get the angles on them. Final citadel was achieved just by moving into the flank of a Myoko from about 8 km, knowing full well the DD I was ignoring would get me, which he did. Yet to get that citadel I still did it! That said earlier on I held my fire from a couple of targets that weren't good citadel targets to help out players who said they were after three kills. I have to agree that you don't exactly have to be Einstein to work out what the likely results would be of having such selfish mission requirements. Surely there's a better way? Gary

Just done it with the Gallant after 7 games in Co-op. Final kill was a ram on the last surviving Scharnhorst just as he was about to go down. Three times in previous games with the Leander I was on 2 kills and was landing rounds on the final target hoping to get it when somebody else got the killing shot. Bl**dy frustrating! 20 citadels in comparison should be relatively straight forward! Gary

Sounds good, I have Gallant, Jervis or Cossack that fit the bill - I'm thinking Cossack? Gary

All, I wasn't bothered by the achievements, took yesterday evening and a couple of games this morning, Warspite took care of it. Half way through the damage part now, that's just a grind. I am really not looking forward to the next one though - 3 kills in one game. I got a Kraken a few games ago, so I suspect trying to get 3 again is going to be a nightmare. Gallant? DoY? Leander? Nelson? not sure which is the best to try it with. Gary

Hi, Just tried it. It appears to be fixed here. Gary Edit: just got a response from the support a few minutes ago. Just a simple mindless 'cut and paste' answer assuming the problem my end. Somebody fixed it anyway.

Just done it for what it's worth. It's almost as if they make the menu process as difficult as possible to put you off doing so..! Gary

All, Same here and just made a rare visit to the forums to see if anybody else had the problem. Been like it for a few hours and have logged in and out several times. At least it's not just me. Gary

Hi, Well finally got the thing. Apparently despite getting the paypal confirmation the transaction was cancelled, how and why I do not know. In answer to the comment about the torps above; first game, Tirpitz charges me around the island, and eats all four from the single launcher...dunno why, he knew I was there! Three further games, and I haven't landed another torp though so I think the jury Is still out. Guns don't seem to do a lot of damage which is the opposite from what I was led to believe about this ship. Gary

Hi, First thing I checked! No filters and then DD's only. Definitely nothing there but I agree, it is the daft sort of thing that could happen. I'll wait but a bit frustrating as I like my DD's and a afternoon with a new one would have been nice. Gary

Hi again gents, Nothing yet, already did a restart of the game a couple of times with no luck. Just tested it with a small order of a 1000 doubloons, via paypal as before. That went through instantly, as usual. Should only be the EU account. I'll give it a few hours before contacting them. Strange as this has never happened to me before. Gary

Gents, I would just like a chance to use it! Ordered it a hour ago and it hasn't turned up yet. Very unusual, never seen that delay before, the transaction appears to have gone through. Gary

Gents, Another one here showing unusable amounts of lag and stuttering since the new update. I've been playing since beta on the same PC without any previous issues on high graphic settings and consistently maintained 60+ FPS with ease. No changes my end so will have to give the game a pass until this is sorted out. Gary

Gents, First post for a long time. Playing some Alabama in ranked, which I don't normally do. Although not a 19 pointer it's not a new buy so has a experienced skipper on board. Having a whale of a time, keeping having Tirpitz and some Bismarck's sailing across in front of me. One game yesterday four of them spent virtually the whole game just going backwards and forwards across me whilst I lobbed six round salvo's into their sides. Alabama is surprisingly tough angled nose on. Gary

Gents, Been playing the Monarch for a few days now after progressing from the KGV. Seems a lot worse to me. It's guns just don't do the damage that the KGV's did, or are anywhere near as accurate. Unlike the KGV, I want to get past this ship as fast as possible. Gary

Same thing has happened to me as well. I first tried on the 23rd and kept getting put back to the buy screen. Worked okay from the 24th but it looks like I missed the premium ships as I've now tried probably 30 boxes according to my paypal receipts, all middle or top boxes and not a premium ship in sight, just camos. Yet I keep reading these stories of endless premium ships. Again, yesterday it wouldn't let me buy any and repeated the problem I had on the 23rd and as mentioned above. I'm not normally prone to conspiracy stuff but I'm beginning to think something odd is going on here. Gary

Gents, Just had a unusual game. Tier 10 with the Hindenburg and a Southern Spawn on Two Brothers. Amazed to see three BB's, including a Yamato come South through the centre channel. They were spotted by aircraft so the team knew they were coming. They lasted about 30 seconds after emerging from the channel, never seen a Yamato go down that quick just to gunfire. Plaudits must go to the two players left with me at the end who allowed me to sink the Iowa and get the Kraken. There are some decent good players out there. Gary

Gents, I think there's something wrong with it as well. It wouldn't even work for me on the first day I tried it, the 23rd. Every time I clicked on it, I just got put back to the start. From the 24th it worked and I have now bought about 15, mostly the middle one but also a mixture. I keep reading comments about people getting one ship after another but nothing like that for me, just flags. I'd be curious to know if anybody has got premium ships in the last couple of days, not just the start. I think I'll give up anyway as it looks like I'm not going to get anything like that now. Gary

Gents, I must be on a lucky run, 5 good victories out of 6 with the T-22. I like it but I suspect it won't last. Gary

Gents, Science of victory campaign, mission 5 task 6 seems to be a problem, unless it's me. 'Earn two individual honourable or heroic achievements', plus the normal tier and random battle conditions. It doesn't say they have to be earned in the same battle but I did anyway, assuming that 'first blood' and 'it's just a flesh wound' count as achievements. Anyway, finished the game as above, with both those awards in the bag, yet although two other missions completed nothing on this one. Is it bugged or have I missed something; tier 6 ship, random battle. My end seems fine. Gary

Okay, thanks for that, I can see it now under the rudder shift time. Gary

Gents, A quick query on the Iowa. I've had her for a week or so now and have been playing on the stock 'A' hull. Just this evening I have upgraded to the 'B' hull and can see where the credits and XP went (more hit points and better AA). I'm struggling to see what the point of the 'C' hull upgrade is, especially as it costs 60k XP and 5 mil credits. All I can see is a 1 point increase in AA, although the number of mounts comes down. Is that it? Gary
