Huzzah for landing fixed!

First and foremost, no dead end. NC can't be killed by a single Lex torp squad even if you somehow manage to eat all 6 torps unless you get detonated. Second, NC has a real crappy torp protection for its tier: Amagi AND elited Colorado has double the anti torp bulge protection than her. It's compensated by awesome AA and frontal armor. Having said that you simply noticed or reacted to the torp bombers too late. While simply manouvering you should be able to at least take out 3 torp bombers if you react to the torp bombers from 5 km away minimum. Abou your fighter, if the enemy torp bombers have already entered inside the drop circle, they won't be panicked. So, once again, you simply reacted too late.

It would be a really great start. A bit bittersweet though since it had to happen first in another server.

I have played carriers, I was playing carriers, I'm playing carriers and will keep playing carriers a long time. My problem with carriers right now is that they can be very boring and that Lex has such slow torp bombers.

If I understood correctly it is an event sponsored by Razer, but hey, it's not like WG EU can't get sponsors too. Oh wait, maybe not since now WG in Europe has gotten such a bad reputation.

When I saw the post here When I read the announcement in the portal When I went on and visited the dedicated page for the event [edited]. THIS IS THE KIND OF STUFF I WANT! Engaging, interesting, involves the whole comunity and it has various prizes with an interesting one on the top.

He's complaining that the interest in the game fades out too quick after playing a few days/weeks/months

Now improved with full automatic settings, just put it in your mods folder and it's ready to go.

It happened to me in my Kinugasa. That was the only instance I ever saw of it happening on a cruiser. Torp hit in my bow for 0 damage from a Hatsuharu. I was somewhat 2-3k HP. Was extremely funny too since I could finish that Hatsuharu with 2 salvoes after that.

No, there is a quite simple reason for that. Each surge of atention brings new and old users to play more. It's been more than a month since the SN and KM ships were released. I bet numbers at that time were very high too. Right now the hype has finished and only no lifers keep the same number of matches per day; most play way less while they simply grind and are waiting for the next big thing.

Oh boy, what a trip from the underworld! Now, where were my bowels?

About this whole Royal Navy controversy, I'll state it again. I'm spaniard and we can all agree that there were 2 big naval and surface theatres kn WWII: The Pacific and the Mediterranean. By that logic WG did the best choice by releasing the USN and the IJN as first tech trees but after that it should have been the Royal Navy and the Reggia Marina.

Yes they are using this game to rip people off. When there is an exchange of goods you can expect good will bettwen the 2 parts. Right now the WG marketing department is using a very shrewd and sound strategy that results in a win-win situation for then as it is basically risk free for their investment. I've already explained how the new user is lured into buying a bundle. Now, each time something new and exciting happen in the game, like the introduction of a new line or the adition of a famous ship (like the Tirpitz) a new surge of interest happens and a whole batch of new players get into the game. From those there are the careless enough to spend in a bundle and in this way WG earns revenue, pays the investment and have a profit. The surge may last 1, 2 or even more months depending on the content added and then they add new content again to repeat the circle. This may not be devoid of hiccups like the launch of the games but it works much better than releasing content asap to have a great game quick. Marketing also hopes for part of the older players to come back once new content is added. Now this is a win-win situation for WG: their investment is being paid ad-hoc and even earns then profit continually. Even in the case that for some reason tomorrow all users stoped playing WG wouldn't lose a dime and would even make a profit. In the case the game holds on and becomes a success WG would also win. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THIS ISN'T A WIN-WIN SITUATION FOR THE PLAYERS. Most of us are getting invested on this game but when this tactics are used we cannot be sure if this game will be a failure or not because they cause an enormous bad press for it. Lots of players that are already in the game are leaving, even after investing more than 100€ in the game, thanks to these periodical honey pot tactics from marketing. Because new content is being artificially delayed and not even properly tested. There are a lot of bugs, aim assists, balance issues, etc. that are being neglected because they don't attract new players, only hold existing players and those are unlikely to spend on bundles so their cries are being unheard. You can't help but look with uncertainty to the future of this game when the developers aren't even fully comited to make it succesful. Finally, you are a ST, not a WG employee and even among those I very much doubt everything is known about how this ship is being comanded.

For starters, it's not just bundles and the general incompetence of the WG EU staff what are making old players leave the game, it's also the lack of proper end game content, high tier economy and unfilfilled promises that make then get fed up with the game and leave. Also, to a certain degree, the wild changes in balance and nerfing of CVs and DDs have made old players leave too. The logic is very simple from an uninformed new customer point of view. Most new players don't spend a dime on the game or barely take a moment to read the forum. But those who do spend and want to spend are lured by how "convenient" the bundles look at first glance: they download the game, play a few battles, maybe think it is promising and then buy a premium ship because they know they need a premium in a WG game or are enthusiasts of famous ships like precisely Mikasa or the Tirpitz. Then they play enough to see the flaws, visit the forum, get dissapointed and as you said, recognize they don't want to deal with all that sheet with a lot of other games they could be playing and leave. Meanwhile the money is already in WG's pocket and the game, despite being terribly flawed in a lot of aspects, have reported then benefits. Now it's up to you to judge how WG is behaving and using this game. Mate, it's the very first thing he said

Another pointless remark of a serial WG fanboy. Mate, I have double the battles you have since launch and way better overall stats, most of then earned solo to boot. Does that make my opinion better? Is this all you can bring out, you and Ducatisto? pointless ad-hominen?

I don't need some WG statistics to see that 90% of the people I played with in Alpha and CBT have left the game and how some of the new guys I've started playing with 1 or 2 months ago are also leaving in dissapointnent. I don't know percentages and will never know then but as things stand WG's policy is attracting new players, use shameless quick cash-grabbing practices on then with these "offers" and then, once they have already spent enough money to buy an AAA game abandon then. Meanwhile key aspects of the game and old promises are being completely neglected. The old playerbase finds there is nothing interesting to do and what is worse, it's made fun of.

Mate there are cheaters everywhere. In fact the guy who is making the aim assist cheat is actually in this very server: he's polish.

Can the Wehraboos and Britbongs give it a rest already? Your jokes are old and having then on EACH AND EVERY THREAD that mentions the Hood is frankly annoying.

I miss the old times ;_; I still remember when yours was the only Yamato when CBT started and each time you brought her out she was everyone's punchbag.

He's just trying the same blame shifting attitude that Ectar showed in his Reddit post. Now it's the fault of the players who enjoy the low tiers gameplay that the game is losing BOTH new and veteran players. Wicked me, who these last 3 days decided to finally give some love to my Arkansas.

Calling tier 4-5 the most fun... that's only if you can't be arsed to go past spamfest both in HE and torps.

Did papa Ectar tell you to write those first 3 paragraphs or are you that much of a WG drone that you can reach his same conclusions without him telling you? As for suggestions, I dunno! It's not my job! I don't know on which conditions WG can make a profit or what are their goals so it's then who have to come up with ways to balance theirs and our interests. What I DOknow is: 1) They can put forward a decent balance in other servers like RU and NA. 2) Right now the reputation of WG EU is so utterly destroyed in this comunity that simply offering 1 or2 mildly fair deals won't cut it anymore. They must offer something extraordinary first, preferably a great event only for EU, and then work down for server parity from that. That, if they really give 2 [edited] about the veteran playerbase.

Usually only good players can play on higher tiers without losing credits or even making a profit. I agree though it should be toned down on tier IX since they have to fight tier X ships and still meet the credits expenses. Improvements costs should be reduced too.

Fortunately for me I like playing all tiers of this game. Unfortunately, Iwaki and Arkansas as well as all my premiums would have to stay here. But yeah, I'd even start over. Once I get fiber again I'm probably doing it.

so now we are in the "gameplay" section. I wonder how many threads will get closed with that excuse....
