In a word yes... Is she better? no i dont think so.. (citation needed) for the reasons you stated. But she is not worse just different. Benham is a blast (if your a DD man) i liked her in ST. is the grind forcing players to play 24 out of 25 days to much. yes i think so. The Hill is also a very nice DD in my opinion. I bought the Hill to increase my odd's but even with her i need to play 23 days to get the ship. but i at least don't need to complete all 6 stages of the 2 daily chains. (though i have so far) Fletcher has 2x5 hence slower reload . Benham has 4x4 Put it this way. Fletcher that's 1 torpedo every 10.6 seconds. Benham is 1 torp every 5.3 seconds So its not 20% slower torpedo reload on Fletcher. it is in reality 2x the number of torpedoes in the water over time on the Benham

Its happened to me from time to time... @Yankmyplank Unfortunately old chap. Prolific forum goers with thousands of posts so spend a lot of time on the forum have never heard of this issue. This is why we are saying replay/proof please

Off Topic BUT How about this for an change for you idea. Clan battles mode where 7 (or maybe 8) ships of a clan team up.. BUT they will be placed against another CLAN of 7 players.. OR 12 randoms (+divs) The disparity in numbers should be countered by the countered by the team play of the Clan all on Voice.

A few ideas for new purchasable or Grinded Cosmetic.... Clan Logos on Funnals Battle Ensigns. For the battle ensign i think it would be great if players could buy the ability to fly there Nations Flag or Naval Ensign as battle ensigns on there ships. Brief history of Battle Ensigns . (for people that don't already know) Battle Ensigns date back to the age of sail when naval battles were often shrouded in large amounts of gun smoke. Navys started hoisting battle ensigns at the highest points of there ships (the masts) so it was easer to tell friend from foe in all the smoke. Battle Ensigns tend to be much much larger than the normal flags

I bought the Hill.. Means i dont have to complete All 6 stages of the daily chain or the 48 of 50 stages to get the Benham.. and i get the Dubloons value if hill 3500 in completion of directives. I should manage the Benham so both will have cost me 7€ (after i get the doubloons back) better than having to buy 5+ crates if i dont finish the 48 of 50. with 5 crates costing 20€ I was lucky as a ST i had played the Hill so it was an easy choice as i new i liked her..

Yep... But i want the Benham so i need to play the Savage to get the missions done for the 250 points....

But its not about the Signal Flags its about completing the 4 directives for the Tier V US DD HILL and the 50 points (currency) for the Tier IX US DD Benham or other items you can buy in the Arsenal. do all 4 and its 4 of the 5 required points to finish this weeks directive. Im just really happy they have made it possible to finish the directives with out HAVING to play Savage battles. Ok you cant get Behnam without playing. but at least players have opportunity to get USS HILL without playing the savage battles if they dont want to..

@Crysantos Thankyou.. A few ideas for new purchasable or Grinded Cosmetic.... Clan Logos on Funnals Battle Ensigns.

There used to be a you tube vid but its gone know.. Early days of the game and some LAG.. Dropped torps in a Udaloi at full speed turn to port... the speed of the turn and lag ment to torps dropped on the wrong side of me

A few points before i get to the bold. As a DD man (over 5.5k games in DD in random alone) we have all torpedoed someone. God Ive even torpedoed myself in a DD. (AND I EVEN WENT PINK). We all make mistakes it happens we all have taken risks with a torpedo launch we should not have. You apologize and move on.... If player calls you names you still apologize. most of the time they will forgive you if you apologize. Know for the bold.. IF you drop Torps in a way you own team can run in to them. The only MUPPET is you. But instead of LACK OR INTELLIGENCE ill put it down to lack or map awareness.

The Scary thing is you may be correct.. At this early stage i just don't want to go there.....

ok in my opinion REDUCING the buffs is not acceptable. there should be NO buffs without some sort of Nurf... but it is progress... engage back with them

Come on boys and girls.. he is giving us feedback that has addressed some (but no where close) to all our concerns.. why all the negative responses..... Respond with answers and refinements to the new ideas he has put forward and to the things you disagree with here.. It may get no get any where with there higher ups BUT @Tanatoy @Crysantos are trying to engage and have dialog with us.. give them credit for that

mate you can never be sure...... so i had to check

I hope you are being Sarcastic.. Long term players like me with almost every tech tree researched,Prem time permanently and udles and udles of free XP (almost 4 millian) will have a Huge HUGE advantage over players like yourself with a relatively low game count and very few tier X ships.

Rentals have been in CLAN battles for last 3 or 4 seasons.

So what if you dont have the Reserve Slots? Losing the ships.. an researching again..... So the idea to get people playing lower tier ships is to take the ones they kept away from them? seems to defeat the object. look at me for Example (ok im not the standard player) But i keep many of the ships. points Forgeting Ships 1, Forgetting ships will effect CLAN/Ranked battles as players will lose ships they would normally have in port to use. Me for example As a DD man MY Clan expect and assume me to have every DD of every Clan Battles Capable tier. The DDs of choice one season are often not the ones of the next season.. Example Grozovoi had a strong showing last season. She has never really been a Clanbattles ship before 2, For me to forget RN DDs for example you would have to Reserve 9 commanders. 3, Same as point one but for Operations The buffs 1, Giving buffs, Some signification will not help the game future proof as players that do not yet have tier X ships will be at a disadvantage very quickly 2, The disparity between Clans or Prolific players and more casual will be even more extreme than it is know. Super Modules already made a huge difference to ships that had them in Clan DesMoines/Gearing/Henri IV just to name a few and these super models have down sides.. what you proposing is buff pur and simple. Maybe better ideas. Something like what you have in tanks for rare tanks and Crew. Example the new tier X Sommers a set of missions 9 stages Stage 1 USN Tier 1 only Stage 2 USN Tier 2 only You get the idea Cameos for the ships. or duplicates of the ship with famous names. OR (and i think this is a good one and easy to implement) Scrap the Current way to get the super modules. And a set of missions 9 stages Stage 1 USN Tier 1 only Stage 2 USN Tier 2 only Maybe add some new SP Modules And.. dont take the ships away from people that they like and Play to unlock something new for the tier X. Come up with missions and incentives for players to want to keep those lower tier ships.

Good post.. some fictitious ships maybe are nessesery.. I know you Uboatboat.net site very well from my silent hunter days. Though i to would prefer real ships. Some concept designs that were never laid down or scrapped on the stocks are interesting. As i said though i do wish they had put more in to the first 30 years of the 20th Century .

maybe i should not post but go take a look at Naval Action.. its more sim than arcade so is no competition to WOWS. but it looks Beautiful. Plays pretty good. ive been in since kick starter. just gone back to it after a couple of years as it just went live. On subject of World of Warships... I have always said i wish WW2 started about tier 7... Why ow why do we have interwar refits or fictitious refits of WW1 ships by tier 4. We completely do 1890-1930s in 2 tiers. I Dont get why.. Its probably the most fascinating time in Naval history of merchandised warships and grand naval battles. WG really missed the ball here

What the hell is going on..... Wargaming People complain enough about players with tier 8 prem that are new to the game. Know you give players players can pay to jump the tech tree lines... OMG..

This is the point.. Its an awful lot of playing to get the needed fuel from the game mode and randoms.

but at least Behnam can defend itself against planes a bit... I really liked and want both and the Hill is pretty Darn good as well.

yes but the new game mode will give you 250 tokens You need 800 for Behnam. so you need that 100 for getting 48 of 50 daily missions done. In Rogue Wave Event getting the 4 wins and requisite XP for 4 of the 6 stages may not be so easy ona work/school night. Myself i bought the Hill. Having the Hill gives you a daily mission (take Hill in to battle) giving you 3 Fuel.. so 75 potential. means you dont need the 48 daily missions and also gives you a buffer for not getting the 150 fuel

Bonkers .. that's Scrubs all over....
