Can you imagine the amount of abuse anyone sailing such a ship would get from his team, "come with me", "why you over there come support me noob", "push forward with me" "don't push forward idiot" etc etc Not to mention the actual issues regarding healing speed vs damage dealing of ships.

Got this from a TYL

It's a pity the Dockyard which does look impressive is used in this way. I will obviously wait to see what the specific details are but knowing WG it will be quite demanding, I probably won't make any effort for this event and certainly not spend any money on it.

It was great fun and a lot of laughs, however there is no way to monetise this game mode so it was a one off experience sadly.

Personally I can see the appeal of the fixed torpedo tubes in the BBs that had them for those moments when I dodge someone's suicide run. However I can see why WG won't add them fixed torps have limited use and we already see some questionable decisions from some battleship players (Tirpitz being a famous issue) desperate to launch torps no matter what. For those people who are not familiar with the fixed underwater launchers I provide the following pictures of inside HMS Rodney's torpedo room, and a diagram of HMS Hood where you can see it shown at figure 29 (near the bow).

You can still help spot her for your team to damage, that's why it doesn't have smoke, this is a team game after all.

Great idea and having Jingles, Drachinifel and the Chieftain together will make for a very fun and interest show.

It’s certainly not a high chance, it took me 30 try your luck before I got a SC (flags) then another 20 for another SC (7 days premium). Still as I have plenty of credits, camo and flags for me it’s an acceptable choice and rate of return to try my luck.

I have loathed this season of clan battles and I only participate in order to help the junior members of the clan who want to collect steel, but it's a chore to say the least.

Only got reported twice so clearly I wasn't annoying enough to the enemy

For the most part I usually enjoy the game yes I have bad days but over all I still enjoy myself most of the time. I do loath the current session of CW and have made it very clear to my clan mates I only will play if they need me too due to numbers. I ignored the game over Christmas due to the PR event and that tend to be my attitude when I'm not having fun I don't play, I will probably ignore the subs mode on the live server because after trying it on the PTS I didn't find it fun so why play if I don't enjoy it. I still beleive there are areas for considerable improvement in the game in the game but as things stand I find it tolerable.

Although the battle itself is interesting I cannot see its relevance to WG games, other than being perfect for a bit of good old fashioned Russian patriotism.

The problem is karma and reports in general are pretty much a vent, it allows you to blow off some steam but it doesn't affect those people you report, if they are playing that badly they will probably have 0 karma in the first place. As for those of us who are at best average players but trying to do our best (this is very much me) reports are something we collect from sensitive souls who dont appreciate being killed by us. Honestly I believe the only way to incentive plays to play better would be to tweak the in game economy to give a greater reward to spotting, capping, defending and tanking and even then I'm not sure that would fix anything and might even unfairly penalise BB players. Best we can do is when players are deliberately being a pain is to report them to suppor, but generally someone being useless I fear there is no cure for.

Certainly a different sort of video, not my sense of humour but clearly quite few people like it.

I certainly can see the appeal of having separate game modes for CVs and Subs to a fair few players however WG would never allow it because it wouldn't suit their agenda, heck Subs mode will only last a very short time before they wind up in random battles.

I have the worrying feeling that when Subs go live (as we know they will in time) the pressure on DDs will only be higher. We may well end up looking back on this meta fondly, now that's depressing.

Karma is an odd thing in Warships, where you gain it from compliments and loose it via reports. The thing is it's largely useless other than once you get a certain amount of karma you get 12 reports/ compliments a day rather than just 7. Other than this this it's pretty useless and mainly used as a vent by angry people when they resent you killing them. If you ever get bored you can check your karma by clicking on your profile name in the top left corner in port and you will see a little number above your name, this is your karma. Still I wouldn't worry about it all that much in all honesty it's worthless.

It's a beautiful camo but that price for an already pricy ship (in free xp) seems unreasonable at least in my mind.

It can happen, the very first time I was detonated was in a Minikaze by a single shot from the secondary guns of a Hosho. Still you did him a favour, he got some free flags to stop it happening again.

I'm currently sitting on about 1.8 million free XP so it wouldn't be impossible for me to get her but just she seems rather mediocre for such a price, a pity too as I do love my DDs

Only just over 3000 base XP but always good fun

Doesn't seem worth the cost which is a pity as I love DDs.

I have the same kind of luck as you OP, the vast majority of the matches I have played lately have been with CVs, it's just all part of the great plan according to spreadsheets.

I'm assuming it will be there big reveal for gamescon and then no matter the state of balance they get shoved into randoms, oh and just for good measure we will see some premium subs released.

Well sadly there is a lot of hate towards CVs whilst I personally don't feel it necessary to insult the players I always consider any game without CVs present to be significantly more fun. Still some classes are just hated, I collect a lot of reports from ships I kill when I play DD but if I kill people playing cruiser it's extremely rare I get reported. The one thing I have learnt from repeated experience is, never openly be nice to your CV in chat never thank him or say well played, they always assume your being scarcastic and usually get very colourful in chat.
