Yeah 4k doubloons is too much for me too. That's why I asked if it will also be a reward after both events or something. I think it looks really amazing But as other have said, a regular premium camo at that tier costs 1k...... this is 4 times as expensive without any extra bonuses. And apparently it even lacks sound effects

Yeah after playing a bit more I found the same thing. The 'reload sound' plays again when you zoom in the first time after reloading. Seems like a bug indeed

Well, I dunno to be honest. Sound team has done some weird stuff before when they haven't been working for a while..... I find @Aotearas's explanation very plausible (about sound team being bored, not the other crazy stuff he's been spewing )

Is it even more hilarious than the Stars and Stripes? And what's the Combat Veteran Camo for Albany and why don't I have it? I know, quoting myself is kinda sad.... But, @Tuccy, @Kandly, @MrConway do you know something about this? I want to throw money at you for hilarious camos that I love but that make everybody else's eyes bleed Also, what about that Rasputin camo for Nikolai? Is that one only available for doubloons or can we earn it in any way?

Yeah I don't really mind it. I mean, such a big ship is full of metal rigs and loose stuff and whatnot. So a clanking sound every now and then is to be expected when sailing the high seas

Yes, I'm experiencing this too

So that one was for an event? BTW those 2 quotes are from EU patch notes, so it should be there........

Was any of you able to find the new Texas camo mentioned in the Patch Notes? Is it even more hilarious than the Stars and Stripes? And what's the Combat Veteran Camo for Albany and why don't I have it?

Hahahaha thanks for sharing Jumpa

Since the big thread was closed by @MrConway (quite rightfully so), I think it's usefull to have a thread to discuss the 'in progress' questions some people are still having. This could then also serve as some sort of an announcement thread where the info can be posted once MrConway has confirmations. For reference, this is the closing post by MrConway: a: We can't do that yet, we'll update you on progress when we can. b: Still looking into it. c: Also looking into solutions here. d: We intend for them to be, but whether and when this happens depends on many factors, including CV changes and how the first season goes. We have no metric or data to split clans by in the beginning, but due to the ELO rating clans should spread out quite quickly. Agreed. This thread has run its course. While we are more than happy to engage in civilized discourse with you, even when the feedback is mostly negative, but this thread has become a proper cesspit. If you wish to continue discussing this topic on the official forums, keep the discussion civilized and on topic, or it will be locked and I will have to ban people. //closed So the questions we're still awaiting the answers for are about CV fix (probably coming 2018, see interesting stuff from world thread), earnable flags in CB, reset of captain skills and ship modules (no CV means no AA needed) and whether or not CVs will be allowed in future CB (will depend on test results probably). It got a bit buried down in the other thread, so I will give my opinion again. I think the mere fact that we're still waiting for these answers after the official announcement and an official FAQ is rediculous. These things should be clear when you announce things like this. Especially if you are going to announce something as controversial as this. Regardless if the decision is right or wrong, information like this should be in the article. Or at the very least be at the ready as a prompt response after questions. And then you produce a FAQ (which actually isn't a FAQ at all, but that's not the point now), and you still don't include important information like this. Sorry to be so blunt about this, but you guys (or, more probably, your bosses, the people making decisions like this) really have to take a long and intensive 'communications for dummies' course. Because WG, as a company, is really below dummies level. And Im an engineer, communication, marketing, presenting, that sort of things, are semantics I don't understand. Trust me on this one, if a 'semi-autistic' engineer is better at communication than a communications team, things are screwed up and you are really really bad at it. @MrConway, @Kandly, @Tuccy, @Ev1n, @Sub_Octavian, could we get any explanation for this information (signal flags and captain/modules respec) not being present in the official announcement and FAQ?

Of course not, but that's probably the BS answer they're going to give us. It's not like they've never done that before.......

Everything is far from fine, but at least WG is giving us SOMETHING, which is much more than I was expecting to be honest. But I totally agree with you. WG puts a broken game mode in the game and decides to let the players be the victims of their incompetence to balance CVs and BBs properly. "waah we can't balance CVs, so you just can't play them. What's that? You think you need to respec your captains and ships? Bloody hell, you're a greedy lot aren't you. Fine then, here, have a free respec. What's that? Now your ship is specced for CB but not for randoms? You want to switch between those two modes? But we already gave you a free respec, that's way more than you lowly players deserve. No we won't give you anything else. If you want to switch modes, tough luck" They're renting out ships, why can't they rent out a 19 point captain that can only be used on CB ships and CB games? "Technical difficulties" most probably. Well, here's a thought WG, how about you guys come up with your own solutions to the problems you created YOURSELVES when making this mess. You're the developers, you get paid to develop stuff. Well then, develop a solution to the mess you created by making this half baked game mode. YOU decided to exclude CVs, YOU fix that.

Exactly this. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. And as others have said earlier, it would be a hack if they would be gone for only a part of the playerbase. And indeed, the more graphical eyecandy, the better.

Well that's good news, sort of. There still are a few issues with this (see the 3 posts above me), but I consider this very generous. At least it allows us to spec our ships specifically for Clan Battles. Thanks @Tuccy (ant the team behind this dicision of course)

For some positive words: I really like the new collision sounds Hope those make it to live, especially that alarm

We also had his assurance that more info would be "released on the portal next week", next week being last week. Yet they posted it yesterday, making them AGAIN late on their promises. Try not to put too much faith in timeline promises made by @MrConway, you will be sorely disappointed on each and every occasion. And now I will probably get yelled at because I'm rude and blowing it way out of proportion.... Well, I consider it rude to treat me (and everybody else here) with such disrespect. Get your sh*t together, deliver a portal article without f*ckups and deliver it ON TIME! Until you manage to do that, compared to your levels of disrespect shown towards us I'm very polite.

What's the status on those "more details" that were supposed to arrive somewhere during the past week? And then people get surprised that things get "blown out of proportion"

According to that quote/announcement, yes it is.

It shows the target where the shooter's shells will land while they're still airborne, thus providing the target with ample ability to dodge the shots, even with a clumsy BB. There is also a variant for torpedoes.

You mean competitive play where 25% of ingame classes is banned? You mean competitive play where the most popular class can only be represented by one ship per team? You mean competitive play in a game where Yamamoto captain kill streaks are a thing? You mean competitive play in a game where things like X-Ray mod and Rainbow mod are allowed? Yeah right. WG killed competitive WOWS play before it even existed. BTW Source for my mods statement:

"Look gramps, this is what they call evolution"

Lol yeah that must have been cute Though with the Izumo it may be more like a crippled old grandpa walking with his grandson

Haha yeah wasn't the best day for me either. That hug was nice, I needed it too

We've still got 3 vacant places

Just ran into @Jethro_Grey on the opposite team. We were both in Friedrichs and met at A cap on Shards. Had a bit of a camping slugfest until Jethro decided to give me a kiss. My team lost, but that game was the most fun I had today Nice meeting ya Jethro
