Exactly what I was going to say. While the 1st squad is rearming the 2nd can land, and then while the 2nd is rearming the 1st one is already taking off. To be fair before opening this I expected to see something about Saipan and how fast his 3-plane TB squads rearm Not everything you don't understand is a hack or a cheat, in fact most of the things aren't. It's just you not knowing any better

Sorry, I use barely any mods, have no idea about good visual ones

Premium time is a good thing, and I think they had like a 90 day prem time discounted now? As for ships - if you want some look at the low tier ones for now, as you simply haven't reached the higher tiers yourself. It's a good rule of thumb to never go for a higher tier premium than the highest line (silver) ship of that class that you've played

Yes, the permanent premium camo (on ships from tier 6 up) which tends to be rather expensive is a "buy once use whenever you want" for that ship, you never have to resupply it, even if you swap it out for some other (usually special) camo Those cheaper premium camos (they cost like 50g and 125g unless they are on a discount) are "buy once use once" meaning that you will have to resupply (re-buy) them each time. If you de-mount it (for example by swapping to another camo) it will go into your inventory till you put that on a ship As for coulurs... They are supposed to be historical-ish, so unless it's a special camo like valentines day it's not really going to have flashy colours on it. Then again you can use mods for that

Scored 4 stars twice before the CV was introduced (so that was the max possible) and 5 stars in the one attempt after just to see where the Raptor is at. It's quite fun and enjoyable as long as you have a more or less coordinated team, playing with 6 randoms it's pure RNG roll if they will be any kind of competent or will you lose in the first few minutes. Also CVs feel a little useless, while they could help deal with the BBs faster they most definitely can't do their usual task - the Raptor is protected by a Cleveland right next to him, so it wouldn't be a good call for a CV to try and go for it.. 3 BBs (2x KGV or Scharnhorst to deal with Omaha and 2x Atlantas + 1 who can tank hits from the 1st SW attack), 3 Cruisers and 1 torpedo-capable DD is probably the best setup you can go for, at least from what I've seen

of course it's going to be hard to gun him down in a 1v1 when your ship has far less health and armour than he does, but then again 1v1-ing any BB as a cruiser wouldn't be exactly easy, would it? That comes with no surprises But if we get back to the point - even a HE spamming cruiser can load AP and go for the superstructure, which especially in the case of Conq is rather massive. Remember that he'll struggle to repair the AP dmg often resorting to inefficient heals just to get some health buffer back And as for other BBs... I don't know, I've seen them doing that all the time since RN BBs were released (or rather since Flamus videos literally yelling about RN BB HE) Ships like Nagato and Amagi I could sort-of understand - they have a pretty good HE round anyway, and it's good to use that in certain situations, but running into Yamatos, Kurfursts, Montanas, Iowas, Bismarcks (almost said Derpitzs but lets be fair, never expect anything good from that ship ) and so on spamming HE... sometimes it's just ridiculous I can 1v1 a Conq in for example the Amagi comfortably, as long as he's using the HE. RN BBs finally have a meaningful choice of "which amo do I go for" unlike every other BB line which is literally "AP always, don't bother with HE " and suddenly. They are far from OP, as I've said many times - it's you poking them where they are at their strongest that's the problem. They don't care about your HE and fires, but if you go with AP or torps they get wrecked. Any torpedo ship in theory has a "low skill high reward" mechanic - just spam your torps at the white marker and eventually you'll blow stuff up. Just drop them towards a smokescreen and farm kills without ever having a clue if there was someone or not. Every ship with high arcs has a "low skill high reward" in-built. park behind an island and spam at anything that comes close - they can't hit you but you can hit them so who cares. And I could continue this. The RN BB concealment isn't that much better than any other BB of their tiers, as long as they both run the same concealment build (which for some reason people forget to do when comparing them). There is always a cruiser or DD line with slightly better concealment than others, does that make those lines OP aswell? Or what you want to see is 12v12 identical ships with no differences in their stats, differing at best with some cosmetic stuff?

Gallant, Duca, Hood, DeGrasse, Blyskawica - United Mega Bundle Revolution, Ohotnik - Soviet Mega bundle Enterprise, Alabama, Indianapolis - USS Mega Bundle Mutsu, Kii, Kaga - IJN Mega Bundle All of them - Armada bundle You can still get them if you want They are literally offering you to buy premium ships at a discount (wondering if anyone's actually buying the 400eur pack lol) if you want to, stop crying about it like a spoiled brat

As long as they are in WG modpack (Aslains too is confirmed to be 100% legit) you apparently can use them. That includes all of the ones you've mentioned and the "X" aswell

RN BBs is literally "learn 2 play" issue. If you understand how to deal with them - you won't have a problem. If you don't - well, anyone can beat you if you don't have a clue how to deal with that. I'm happy to see more and more people realizing that you deal with Nelson, Lion and Conq by firing AP not HE at them, took them long enough.

Pretty sure that what you don't realize here is that you have to register another account specially for the PTS, not log-in with your live-server acc. It's not like it's pointed out in every PTS post on the main page, not obvious at all...

Ishizuchis fine, and that would also fit your current level. It's a good idea not to buy a ship that's higher than your line (silver) ships of that type. As Scharnhorst is tier 7 - I wouldn't recommend it to you till you have grinded some BB line till that same tier. Gameplay styles (and to some extent the skill of players) change a lot as you go up the tiers, and suddenly jumping higher than you have made it so far will just inevitably lead to bad experience and a lot of defeats.

This. Like, why is even a thing, if I wished him to be in my division I'd ask him to join. I understand the idea of "clanmates can join in port without invitation" but the randoms just have to go

I can understand you missing the 1st one - those ranks in forums depend on your posts. As you post more you'll get higher ranks But that 2nd... almost 2k PvE and over 2k PvP battles and doesn't even realize those are Ranked Battles ratings... Also as mentioned before - "enter" key is a thing, you don't need 500 spaces between sentences

I mean, we have captains altho it would be fun to select skills for the whole crew on BB - 3rd boiler rooms 2nd mechanics assistant Billy -> expert repair

And yet this is arcade game not a historical simulator...

That's actually sort-of a thing. If you check your replays one very rare thing you can notice is that you (as I said - very rarely) can load into the game with no flags on you, even if you have them. And as an extension of that you can get detonated while flying a detonation flag if the game decided that you don't have flags this match I've seen it happening twice in all the time that I've played, but the only way I see to show it would be to record your "exterior: signals" tab before every game, and then the game itself (not the replay) till you finally get that 1 situation where that happens. Too much effort for me to bother attempting it

"The Ranked Battles become available ONCE YOU REACH account level 9" not once a week You don't need that good of a PC to run this game (if you run it on correct graphics settings of course) but any PC sooner or later becomes too old What glitches are there then? I don't encounter them What bugs? Unless you are talking about CV UI there really aren't that many, and most of them are unnoticeable 99% of the time No there aren't cheaters everywhere, those just are better players who, unlike you, know how the game works and what to do. Your lack of skill doesn't make others cheaters Saying what "the same"? That the forums weren't working yesterday? Yeah, we noticed, but that has nothing to do with the game. Calling out cheaters? Check their stats, those red 40% WR will tell you where the problem lies. If your graphics settings are higher than your PC can handle your game is going to obviously be laggy What issues then? Give me a list of them, point towards those other posts. And there aren't thousands of people posting on forums, we are quite few actually. Maybe it's because a technical problem is not the same as server maintenance? Yeah, and one would expect that a game that has been released for over 2 years had a proper tutorial, but we still don't. It's an introduction of a new gamemode, check how old that video is. General idea is still correct, especially in this case where you clearly misunderstood the text They are not lying, the video was correct when it was released. It's like claiming that Grosser Kurfurst being a rentable ship in 6.12 is a lie because now is 6.13 we have a Montana It's your misunderstanding not WG lying to you There are no stat limits. Do you have any understanding of how ranked works? You have to reach certain point to participate in a competitive gamemode - that's standard pretty much everywhere. Stat limits? You yourself are the only limit. If you are bad at the game, you'll reach nothing higher than lowest ranks, if you are good at the game you can fight to reach the top. It's not for "privileged few", it's for everyone depending on their personal capabilities Is it account level 15 or rank 15? Rank 15 = you played RB, level 15 = you right now have the highest account level and have all features in game unlocked for you. The only incompetent there is you. It could be that you checked the RB button BEFORE the season started, that's why it was inactive. Or you didn't meet the level requirement (the lvl 9). All information can always be found on the main page, there are a lot of forum posts discussing it, as well as most YouTubers do videos about the ranked battles when they are approaching. Everything is literally spoon-fed to you. And there is no "certain stats to get higher" - either you win or you don't. If you are not good enough you'll simply drag your team down enough times that you start losing at the same rate or even more than winning, and that's where your climb stops Those are not training videos, there is no tutorial for this game. They are informative about something in particular at best. Trust me, we won't be sad to lose another potato if you decide to quit. RB is not a permanent gamemode, it comes and goes. If you can't wait - your problem. I literally have no clue what you are saying here. Re-read the text and make it understandable, it's hard enough to decipher your text at the best of times And if the content is some unreadable gibberish it's your fault noone can read it not ours. You don't need any fancy language skills, just write it as basic as you can and make it understandable You've had your answer yet you still clearly don't understand. Also where are those YT videos about people claiming they play EB right now / in October? I asked you to provide links (proof) and you came back empty.

The guys stats say it all Much aimbot, such cheat, totally unfair

with a plane the enemy has too be firing for you to fir back by his tracers, and it's a cooldown - you spent it = you can't do it the X allows you to hit targets, especially in smoke, with no further requirements (including that the enemy doesn't even have to fire) You didn't see where they were when they smoked up? Aim on the minimap and enjoy your hits Don't have a spotter plane to get the elevated view to fire back by tracer? Horizontal aim in the easy part, vertical is what people always misjudge - and the X allows you to immediately select correct vertical aim to hit the target The hits you can score with it are ridiculous, and you wouldn't be able to get them without it

Nice post m8! I do agree with most of what you said - the map rotation definitely needs so more thrown in, and 3 of the 4 maps play exactly the same (with the last one being different because of the 2 caps in 1 spot), the prime time should be extended as those 3 hours don't give us a lot of time to play AND people still do have work, which most obviously in the case of UK can mean they miss at least the 1st hour if not more of CB, and the fact that even if you detonate you don't get the achievement with flags... And yet, I'd like to have CVs, everyone now is running hydro and radar making DD gameplay not exactly the most fun they could have Also the team size - while I think that 7v7 is fine, what about 9v9? And give an option -> 2 BBs or CV + BB for example. Altho I guess everyone would run the CV in that case anyway And then as for ship selection - while that mentioned is the core, there still are quite viable variations out there. People are making Conquerors, Yamatos, Shimakazes, Zaos, HIVs work. It's not quite 1 guaranteed setup, but it's quite unfortunately close to it Also why can't just some "ranking officers" lead CB team? Why can't just anyone do it? Never really understood that one I mean, most people don't have jsut a good captain overall, not just one specific capt And the lack of tier 10 CV is already solved - we do get the rentals, don't we? So instead of 3 rental classes we would get all 4 There would be a lot less camping overall with a good incentive to move flying around Then again... everyone could just group up in a big AA bubble to make sure CV can't touch them

Could it be that those glitches started since the DirectX update? Could it be your PC isn't strong enough to play the game on the graphics you have? Personally I'm not experiencing any glitches except for some that are at my end. PTS - yeah, there are some, but as I said - that's why we have the test server. And I'm pretty sure that game and forums don't share the server, forums not working in no way influences what happens to you in-game Please, re-read the text before you post, sometimes it's not easy to understand you. Yes, everything is tested on multiple levels of test servers, but not everything gets noticed immediately. There are bugs that would pop up in very specific situations for example. I don't understand the "leave out important ship in a scenario" part. You mean the ChungMu? What scenario then? It was announced it should have been there but it's not because of technical problems, but we'll get it in the 2nd testing round. The only scenario I can think of is the new operation - what exactly got left out? Fix it to give a different ship - what? You will get that same promised ChungMu, the tier 9 PA DD. Nothing's changed there. lacking testing and ignoring feedback - don't even have a clue what you are trying to point at here. It may be bad or good, it's still a TEST SERVER. It's to be expected to have massive screwups and bugs in it. Ok, not confusing them. So which video then? "Naval Academy: Ranked Battles"? Not a single point where they say that it's "once per week". They said they are seasonal, meaning that every now and then there is a ranked battles season for a while. Ok, you had the tier 6 ship, did you also have your account level high enough? In the video it states that you need lvl 9, but since it's a really old video (is it for the pilot season?) that level might have changed up a bit. It's not discrimination, it's simple "you haven't played the game enough to have any clue what's happening, play and learn some more before you can compete" system. You mean people in League of Legends being unable to play ranked till they get lvl 30 and 20 champions is discrimination against newbies? Also what showed inactive? if it was the RB option itself - you didn't have the level. If you could select the RB but the ship was inactive - the ship wasn't of the correct tier. Pretty off topic, but yes, forums have been known to slow down to crawling speeds every now and then. Doesn't reflect on the game itself in any way whatsoever. Oh yes, bad players and cheaters. The typical "my WR is so low because enemies are always cheating" excuse. Your lack of game knowledge compared to their advantage over you is not cheating, it just means they have played more, and probably have looked up some info about how the game works. And if you are so good why you hide your stats then? There has always been a ton of bugs of glitches, especially when you look at CVs. Want one that has been here at least since the 1st day of open beta and probably even longer? Free-look 180degree camera turn. It's been around forever and it's still not fixed. Actually the game right now probably is as bug and glitch free as it has ever been. If you are constantly glitching and crashing - check your end, that might be the answer. And once more - forum being slow has no connection to how the game is going whatsoever. Don't mix apples and oranges. Firstly it doesn't say it, secondly it's not as much of a tutorial as a "welcome to this new gamemode" some 2 years ago. Surprise surprise the game has changed in that time. As for YouTube - care to provide any examples? From the WoWS YouTubers I'm watching none of them are uploading Clan Battles right now, with a rare exceptions where it's going to be clearly stated that it's CB. There is a good chance you just misunderstood something. It's not "once a year", it's "every now and then". We had what - 2 seasons in 2017? And total of 7 seasons in the last 2-ish years? Next one will come some time after the other competitive gamemode runs out - CB are going till 20th December, so RB will follow somewhere early-ish in 2018. Halloween is obviously a holiday / celebration. The same as for example Christmas and Easter. Those are special events at some specific time of the year, and have nothing in common with RB. Whenever the RB is running for the 6-ish weeks that it's active for you can play as much as you like with no limitations (assuming you qualify for the season). But here's a warning for you - if you're not good (check your stats, they'll tell you about your performance) don't expect to score high. Anyone can reach rank 15, but after that you have to be able to carry the team instead of being just a liability tagging along.

Next RB season "we have decided to disable CVs in ranked..."

haven't seen anything said about the tier. I do hope for 8 tho I mean, 6 would work aswell, but that was the tier last season, not sure if they would do 2 in a row. 7 is the p2w tier with Payfast and Saipan, lets just hope they skip that one Also if I remember correctly from early seasons they might try something with 5s?

As far as I know it is, at least I think it is. You can definitely get it with Aslains Then again: [insert elevator music while I'm waiting for 6 min to open MrConways post where I already linked the picture] This states that all aiming help mods are prohibited. And that's exactly what the X does

They already previously said they won't release any new CVs till the CV rework, an yet Kaga, Enterprise, GZ...
