    ARP ships?

    As far as I know, you only see ARP if your port is Yokosuka. I was playing a standard game from a standard port yesteday and noticed in the battle results that I'd landed hits on one of the ARP ships - it looks like a standard ship.

    Requesting more dislayed info

    Hi, Sorry if this doesn't fall into current update comments but I don't see any other place to ask this, this is more of a request for future inclusion. When I'm in-game, I see the names of my team and silhouettes of ships but I have absolutely no idea what silhouette is which ship, nor which tier it is. WoT has the ability to change the info shown, could this be implemented here? I'd rather not go down the line of installing mods to show this info.

    I saw one in a shed in Dunoon 25+ years ago, pretty much stripped down to her bare bones but still a beautiful shape.

    Playing for fun - a question of philosophy?

    I'm completely with you on this. We play to unwind, we play to win, we accept that wins won't always happen, but we have fun. And then we see http://forum.worldofwarships.eu/index.php?/topic/61389-why-does-the-warspites-citadel-include-its-cold-storage-area/ and wonder why folk are getting so excited about only 25mm plate over the fridge. There are many different people playing this game for many different reasons. Play your game the way you want, but don't let the 25mm fridge cover people make you feel bad about doing what you do. Sail on Sir, and have much fun

    Encounter mode

    Evening gents, I really hate the encounter mode, I don't think I've ever been on a winning team. I have absolutely no idea about how the game is scored. The wiki is less than helpful and can't make it's mind up if it's 240 or 360 seconds to cap. I see a counter with 1:4 or 2:7 etc and sometimes a red or green quadrant. Presumably red is bad and 1:4 is also bad? Where do I have to be to score points? The small disc in the centre or just inside the larger diameter disc?

    Encounter mode

    Thank you, that's hugely useful to know. It'd be good if there was somewhere we could easily find that info. Your help is appreciated sir

    I guess I should have added in the post (not tagged) that I don't want them in-game. I want a real one

    ARP ships?

    I have the ship, but not the Captain. Can I complete the 2nd without doing the 1st? Have I completed the 2nd? I have no idea, and I'm not the only one it seems.

    Help/advice please

    Hi all, I have had a horrendous week, can't hit anything and wins are a distant memory. I've no idea why, I've not changed my playstyle or anything else I can think of. It's just been pish all week long. Could someone have a look at my stats (without laughing) and see if they see something I'm missing? https://eu.warships.today/player/505725270/DB2212 http://wows-numbers.com/player/505725270,DB2212/ I can't get excited about trying to play while this carries on.

    Player stupidity

    What do bellybuttons have to do with WoWs?

    Help/advice please

    Thanks for your input lup3s. This last week has been quite enjoyable and back to my usual, if not slighlty better than usual. My op was from 7 days ago and concerned the week preceeding - 13/14th July. Survival ratio is way too low but I've been trying a couple of new, or little played, ships. That's my excuse!

    ARP ships?

    Well, Google might have done the job but it would keep folk away from such friendly and helpful forum users

    ARP ships?

    Thanks for prompt replies. Port selected. Play them as normal? Play against normal ships or only ARP types?
  16. ThePopesHolyFinger

    Help/advice please

    That's my point, I don't usually have problems hitting things. I tend to stick with ships I know and can play. But this last week was dire until that Bogatyr match. I tried the ABIM once and couldn't hit a thing with it so wen't back to standard.

    Help/advice please

    What happens when the best games you can have, in a week, is so utterly bad that you want to stop playing? There were no best games. Hell, yesterday there were 6 games with no wins, games with no damage caused. Why? I'm not a brilliant player, but I'm consistant (consistantly average) This last week, and yesterday in particular, has been very inconsistant. It sucks all the fun out of the game, you do the same as you've done for a thousand games and suddenly you're shafted with a big WG FU. It's not fun and it's not the way to keep players.

    Help/advice please

    And my first game today, a complete reversal of the last week. There's no consitancy and absolutely no fun in these streaks. Typically, premium had expired for this win.

    Mysterious Ship on the Polar Map

    Do people really still play WoWp?

    Zoom error - for the developers -

    I never use shift, only mouse wheel. The problem with mouse wheel is that if you (or certainly I do) scroll it too fast it zooms in fast and then snaps to 180 degrees from where you want to be looking.

    171 shots fired, 4 hits

    Konigsberg - apparently a "sniper" - 2.3% accuracy Now, my average hit ratio is pretty poor at 29%, so howtheholyfcuck does 2.3% work? It doesn't really. Next battle, same ship, (100 battles in her) 25%. Still poor, but wtf?!?

    171 shots fired, 4 hits

    Thank you for your insightful explanation about the move. It was most helpful.

    171 shots fired, 4 hits

    No replays sadly, I uninstalled Aslains mod pack. Using the standard reticule, tried the dynamic one once and hit nothing. Really, didn't land 1 shot. I tend to start off at long range cruisers as they're spotted but switch to closer targets as they appear. No break, no cat and no excuse! The only thing that was different from my usual games was that I fired 171 shots and landed 4. Next game was back to my usual averageness. No, the lag spikes were earlier when I was trying to play a DD. It was horrendous!

    Mouse wheel 180 degree view switch

    Hi, I'm suffering with a 180 degree view change when I scroll in on a target. One second I'm almost on it, the next I'm looking at the opposite side of the map and wondering wtf did the ship go. Mouse software is up to date. Suggestions please.
