Suffice to say CVs have nothing to fear from Subs, and subs have a lot to fear from CVs.

Seeing as CVs are the ultimate anti sub weapon in the past 2 rounds of sub testing, it doesn't look like CVs have anything to worry from subs. Unless of course the CV player is exceptionally bad and yolo rushes at the start of the battle.

Never thought I would see a Smolensk player complaining they cannot start enough fires,

I believe you can request as many ships as you like to be restored in one request but your limited on how often you can make such requests.

740 thus far but still to grind this weeks objectives

Is that paraphrasing Nietzsche's "to live is to suffer" or just an expression of the joys of masochism ?

It would be nice to have it as a option to select on the mini map simply for convenience, I have to remember to press H at the start of a battle because I just don't keep those numbers in my head. As for drive through fish and chips weirdly I know of one outside Bournemouth

I have to admit this has be the most entertaining way to start a CV balance discussion, sadly I'm sure it will descend to the usual petty bickering but I absolutely loved seeing this.

Personally I think it would be a good idea, as mistakes should be punished and might help bring some sort of semblance of balance to the class. However sadly WG have a very low opinion of CV players abilities (an unfair generalisation on their part) and don't want to incentivise CV players to get better or add complexity to the class.

Its not a perfect solution but happy to have been of some assistance

It is a concerning trend that they keep making the grinds more time gated. However what really does bother me is that for the upcoming European (Swedish and friend) DDs is that the directives will reward crates which contain a "random" number of tokens. So whilst now with the British cruiser event we can calculate how many days we need to play etc for the next event no such certainty. Honestly though it does come down to the player, I took a look at the PR grind and just decided nope, it wasn't a good investment of my time and money, and all but ignored the game over Christmas. Still enough people did feel it was a worthwhile investment and WG will have seen whilst we might complain enough people still invested in the PR to justify WG doing such grinds again.

I think it's just the bots, they seem to know when you launch torps but a good trick is to use the prediction line then Unselect the target ship but launch the torps down the previous line of bearing. The bots don't seem to get the prior warning of the torps that way.

None at all but judging by the results of he last round of testing we have a long way to go before it's ready, as the saying goes patience is a virtue.

Looks an interesting idea and at around tier 6 or 7 probably would be a nice addition, I sometimes get the impression it's easier for WG to add totally fictional ships over real ones because they can just adapt the stats to suit balance purposes. Considering this appears a Japanese style of pocket battleship similar to Graf Spee they should have plenty of data to balance it successfully. Should provide for a fun and different gameplay style too.

Dear @MrConway and @Crysantos sorry to disturb you at the weekend but I have completed the Winter Season mission for public test 0.9.2 but as I understand it I should then have access to the Winter season mission from 0.9.0 as I believe I didn't complete that one. Its not a huge issue but I naturally would like the chance to complete all the Winter Season missions. Sorry to be a bother, but any assistance would be much appreciated. Logged in today on PTS and final mission was available, thank you to whomever fixed it.

The new port looks great, only a pity there are no Lancaster bombers overhead for recreating Tirpitz's wartime experience. Still seriously a very beautiful port. The directives all worked fine but as they are only placeholder missions cannot comment much. I really didn't like the random number of tokens element of the containers, I did get one container with 140 but the rest were all 30 or 10. Still I'm sure as a marketing method it has its logic still for me I will not bother putting much effort into this event when it goes live, its quite the disincentive for me.

One little thing and it might be I'm being silly and missing the control for it, but the noise when your on fire is really loud and annoying when compared to other sound effects, I know everyone is testing IHFE so I'm on fire a lot on the PTS but is there a way to turn down that one specific sound effect?

I have been getting this bug quite a bit where I cannot open or choose containers

I cannot see this changing anytime soon, as long as WG keeps selling us various boosters they will need to find a way to use them up. Ah the joys of hyper inflation

Here is the mission chain and the notification of the rewards, got it from here https://worldofwarships.eu/en/news/public-test/public-test-092/

Well Albemarle was a British admiral albeit a controversial one as noted by the fact he didn't receive a medal for serving at the Glorious 1st of June https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sir_Albemarle_Bertie,_1st_Baronet So does that mean the nickname for the Albemarle should be the Bertie?

To my knowledge the only time the Royal Navy painted the super structure yellow was in the dockyard livery

I'm glad I'm not the only one confused by "emblem players"

True I would like to see her added even as a premium or coal ship

Why not compromise between those who want to continue the use of town names and those who liked the shift to Admirals names and settle on HMS Exmouth, after both the town and Admiral Pellew. Especially since it's highly unlikely we would need a representative of the E class and the actual HMS Exmouth of WW2 was sadly lost very early in the war. Failing that that how about HMS Mediocrity considering its ingame performance
