Well SEA is in a different timezone and many hours ahead of us.

That would be really really fun, but it ain't gonna happen !

No its a Wickes class. Originally the USS Buchanan, one of 50 US DDs transferred as part of the ships for bases deal. But its not just a reskin. The rear gun has been replaced by AA, the fourth funnel shorter, and one less torp tube.

Well I'm happy I've now got a T5 US Captain trainer. Atlanta is a pain especially at T7. Way too situational for most players.

I've got a few US premiums, but for earning potential, Tier 5 seems to be the sweet spot for me.

I know the stats of this ship are not good compared to the Murmansk but this is my first battle in her: The guns are amazing.

I play aggressively, and its saved me from burning to death many times

Thanks for this event. It was great fun, particularly our epic battle against MrConway and friends !

I only use premium repair on high tier US DDs and premium heal on my Iowa.

Radar is already in the game, I've been using it, when testing the RU cruisers. The range is 11.7km and lasts from 20 - 25 seconds.

I doubt they will run Team battles and Ranked at the same time.

I enjoyed reading the response to the OP, but cannot be bothered to actually read the first post myself. But everyone knows that when the RN is introduced, the server population will double

Having played all the RU CA, I think your fears are groundless. Although these ships can be effective when used by very good players with high level commanders, that is not the majority of the playerbase. IMO these ships are pretty well balanced. Although the guns are great, the armour is very weak or non existent. This especially true at high tiers. Due to their large size and lack of concealment, they are basically damage food for BBs. My prediction is that most players will hate them, and give up on this line pretty quickly.

Random is real folk, Co-Op is some/all real on my team, red team is all bot? Yes random battles or PvP as it is known is only human players. For co-op or PvE the red team is only bot. Your own team can be made up solely of human players, but at quieter times may include bots as well. The difference in xp between random and Co-Op, how much of a difference is there? The exact calculations have not been published, but as already stated the XP and credit gain is substantially higher in PvP games I think I've figured out the module progression (but I suspect I haven't) Is there a crew progression? Where is it if it exists? As mentioned you can gain commander skills. These are listed here : http://wiki.wargaming.net/en/Crew_(WoWS) However, these skills are hidden from players until they reach the required account level. So for example, you cannot participate in Team Battle mode until you reach the highest level which is 12. Commander skills are available when you reach level 7. You need to earn points to gain levels and you get them automatically as you play more battles. You can see your own level by clicking on 'Profile' in the Port. You will then see a screen like this : Click on a level and it will give a description of what is unlocked when that level is reached. Ports - does it make any difference where your port is other than pretty pictures/ports? No, except for Yokosuka Port. With this Port selected you can see arpeggio of blue steel content, both in Port and in battle. With any other Port selected, this content is hidden.

First of all there is an official feedback thread for team battles here : http://forum.worldofwarships.eu/index.php?/topic/44062-053-team-battles-gameplay-feedback/ Second, I agree with the OP on two points. Having only nine places for a seven member team is too few, and I have experienced exactly the same problems. I think it needs to be increased to at least 15 players. I also think the playing hours need to be extended, particularly at the weekends. I would start TBs at 12pm on Saturday and Sunday.

I think the main problem here is some people, including me, do not see it as a competition, simply another game mode. Therefore we do not take it seriously. If this was 'proper' esports I would agree with you. But it is far from that.

So what you are actually saying is that battleships themselves are not useless, just the players.

Now come on mate, you know everyone wants the greatest navy in the World, like ever, to be in the game now !

Actually, sorry to say, but I think some players are deliberately abusing the MM. They take a lower tier carrier with a higher tier ship (usually a BB) to ensure the BB is top tier. Agree it should not be possible for the MM to be exploited in this way.

Agree, but I think overall game balance will always win over RL values. It will be very interesting to see what they (WG) come up with.

Not sure I agree. Look at the range of the Warspite guns in game.

You should have seen his English in the battle ! Perhaps he will agree to me posting the replay, then everyone can make a judgement.

Yes and Yes

Please read the other posts you edit We have been told to test it in team battles. But congrats you are now top of the [edited] list. I'm not in the mood to waste anymore time with edit like you.

Your awful behaviour in chat was unacceptable in that battle as well as being extremely childish. That was our only Team battle where we used that cruiser and that was only because a new team member joined and it was the only T8 cruiser he had. At least we learnt you cannot use the report function for abusive chat in Team battles. You should be ashamed of yourself.
