Easiest way is to participate in the public test servers and you get them as a reward for completing certain missions; https://worldofwarships.eu/en/news/public-test/public-test-01010/ Otherwise you can invite people to play the game and they will connect as your “shipmates” and as they play they will slowly earn you community tokens. Also you can watch the WOWS twitch stream as long as your account is linked then you earn them as well. Hope it helps.

When it comes to military history there is no shortage of crazy stories that sound like something out of a comedy show. For example I leave you with the score from Operation Wikinger not a bad British victory considering the British were not there:

The problem is I don’t think any of us have ever given a positive score to find out if there are any follow up questions. Being very generous perhaps WG just are doing a barometer of general satisfaction ( it’s just they are avoiding asking us what it is we are not happy about because they know better apparently ).

Im guessing he is probably referring too the recent Head over Keels video where a British submarine was captured by a German Floatplane, also possibly the video of the two British destroyers who rammed into each other and the crews tried to abandon ship into each other’s ships.

On the topic of the British Pacific Fleet I would recommend the following book by D Brown, it’s very informative and not too heavy going.

But isn’t this the choice we all had to make:

It would probably be very hard to implement, I did used to love shooting them in Operation Dynamo but hey if subs are a thing in game it’s only a matter of time for these boats too.

You would never get total consensus there will always be those on both the extremes who will never be satisfied. As for the majority of people with more moderate views a lot will come down to how WG present the data and how they address the more frequently voiced concerns. WG in the past has been rather intransigent and then later admitted maybe that had been a mistake. So naturally there is a lot of scepticism with people believing WGs statements. Still it’s a brilliant opportunity for them to demonstrate their more open selves after their apology a couple of months ago. It really comes down to if and how WG present the data and address people’s concerns.

I’m exceedingly skeptical that WG will listen to any of the feedback given but at least we have a sense of humour about it all.

It’s clearly going to be a ‘interesting’ couple of years for the game as WG continue to flail around trying to make submarines work. Personally nothing I have seen thus far with this submarine project gives me any confidence in their ability to make it work. However it’s obvious WG are determined to ram them into the game. So good luck captains it’s been fun chatting with many of you but I give up on this game and I bid you adieu.

In short - a lot. Although I’m guessing at least 2 German, 2 Russian, 1 Japanese and probably one other in the first year.

That’s been pretty much my experience with the conventional torps. They are fine against your standard distracted broadside BB or even when popping up suddenly from cover next to a cruiser, but there is no need to use them when homing torps are so effective especially when staggered to cause a flood. It is silly though announcing yourself to your target by pinging them when you have sent conventional torps, all it does is make them pay attention. WG are really obsessed with this whole ping thing and I can only assume it’s because they are worried sub gameplay is too boring without it.

Considering the awful progress on the submarine project and how that has impacted April fools, map development etc, I just give up on the idea of having anything that is new or fun. At best they might recycle something but only if it sells premium camos.

Out of curiosity has anyone been using the proximity fuse (conventional) torps on the PTS instead of the homing ones ?

I’m deliberately holding onto my community tokens as I’m assuming that some of the rewards will change, especially the King of the Seas content, and if I’m lucky hopefully other premium ships will be offered in time.

It will be as soon as subs are out of testing and WG think they have decided what they want submarines should be like in game.

Averof would be rather hard to fit in maybe as a tier 4, but sadly WG seem uninterested in lower tiers so I think she’s unlikely for quite sometime. I agree a destroyer would be easier and it would fun (also easy for WG) to add Velos as a way to highlight the real ship.

On the far more interesting topic of Greek ships in WOWS it would be nice to add some diversity whilst not the biggest navy at the time there is still potential.

It’s sad isn’t it the days when the history channel provided educational and reliable information is now confined to history.

Right now the only thing that remotely interests me is the upcoming dockyard event and HMS Repulse, to WGs credit they have made a visually very beautiful game. After that though I’m really not sure if I will bother with the game much more or might just take an extended break.

For what it’s worth I would suggest providing WG with suggestions for Greek ships that would fit into the game, at least that way if they see a potential value in adding them as a premium ship you might get your wish.

Whilst the thought is in the right place maybe it’s better anything done as a sign of sympathy to Jingles is best kept within his community, his discord page have been organising some things that might be worth a look.

The funny thing is I remember HMS Hood when she came out with her unusual AP shells, that were ideal for punishing cruisers due to the shorter fuse time. The weird thing was apparently (according to WG at least) most Hood owners didn’t like it and wanted normal AP so they could get better penetration on other BBs, so Hood was changed.

Looking at the comments for the video on YouTube there does appear to be quite a bit of confusion about the mission

Thats pretty much the issue beautifully summed up isn’t it. Submarines have the potential to be the lesser of the two evils re subs and CVs the problem is WGs inability to develop submarines and develop the game factoring them in.
