why no one ever try to understand or fails even after trying is completely beyond me but I am gonna try this again.. YOU CANNOT PUT A SBMM IN A GAME WHERE THERE IS NO RESPAWN! SBMM, based on the notion of "Equally skilled teams against each other" so you have to keep those teams until end of the battle to see which side is better. Thats because most of the SBMM games have rounds! in their matches etc etc. Stop spewing nonsense about it.. and use "PINNED MATCHMAKING THREAD"

Hello gents, I've just come home and logged into game. I've realized that all my daily mission and epic upgrade missions are gone back to beginning. They ol got reset. even though I already finished and have the legendery upgrade for Moskva, (yes it is still installed on ship) I have the moskva mission again. Did I miss something?? Anybody knows anything about it? Should I contact with the support? @MrConway @Tuccy Guys?

trial in progress!! . . . Yep it worked! I guess I've just learned about that known bug :) Cheers for the help guys..

I played this game for a long time as a DD main, then started with CAs nowadays I mainly play BBs. So I actually cannot say that I know them very well. But for personal preferance, I would like to see the heavy enemy presence first then sail towards that area. But before I think we need to establish what is long range.. :) When I say long range, I don't mean 20+km, I deem that range is as "Extreme range" For me, under 8km is close range, 8 to 15 is mid, 15 to 20 is long, 20+ extreme range for my musashi.. just to make it clear. What I usually do is, try to go half speed directly in between the caps for the first 2 - 3 mins.. then see the heavy enemy presence on one side.. or bad dispersion from our team on one side.. then start to get into position for that side.. I am not a good player in high tier BBs, but I am satisfied with my current numbers and getting better and better every day I presume..

There is an option in updater that you can pick and no updates will start unless you manually start them. But I have to tell this finally, since you are loitering this suggestion topic with every shread of idea pops into your mind, you are basically making this whole topic useless.. just like most of your ideas.

intelligence is not your strong suit isn't it OP?

There is a better rule, If the collection is a timeless one, do not ever use duplicates, because any duplicates remaining when you finish the collection will be converted into credits by x15.000

Going for longrange in early game is needed to have map control, because going mid range means chosing a side for you. BBs must be the ones which choses a side last to commit. They need to see the whole picture before taking a mid range position in somewhere.. But these are all subjective, range is always depends on your opponents' positions. Commiting to a side usually means very different in every battle. and again, time marks totally depends on peoples perception. It will take at least 2 to 3 mins for you to take a mid range position If you push from start :)

Lets say there are 3 phases of a game. early game, mid game, late game, I am not gonna go in details how you identify each one of them but the time marks varies on the each individual game you play. For example, in one game mid game starts 5th min mark, but on the next, 8th min mark.. etc etc.. Anyway, A BB, is better stay long range on early game, go mid range on mid game and close the late game on close range... Preferably. There can be a great discussion about all of these.. but generally you don't yolo with a BB, but don't sit back all game, you start closing in on caps in Mid game, and sometimes even push into and/or past behind caps in late game..

It was friday or may be saturday evening, We were in a DAVY division, tier 9. and saw them in the loading screen.. SCRUB division, lead by @MortenTardo in his missouri. Quite a close battle it was actually, he said hello to me about a 28K salvo when I miscalculated a move just at the start of the battle. But other than that, we had almost no interaction against each other.. They won.. was a good battle.. we tried.. But when your DDs, refuses to go near the cap, there is only so much you can do. I agree what he said though, we forumities should div up more, instead going against each other. I suggest a forumities chat channel in the game.. Is it possible to do that? like wot? create a channel, put a password to it etc etc?

Oh I found the best solution ever :) Bear with me.. (Hello bear!) Lets scrap all the win and loose and star mechanics PS:The following numbers are given as an example, may subject to change! Everyone on the winning team who has 1000+ base XP gets a star... Everyone on the winning team who has -1000 +500 base XP gets nothing, lose nothing. Everyone on the winning team who has -500 base XP, loses a star... Everyone on the losing team, who has 1000+ base XP gets a star, Everyone on the losing team, who has -1000 +750 base XP, gets nothing, lose nothing, Everyone on the losing team, who has -750 base XP, loses a star. I like this :) Yes the XP gets heavily rewarded for damage.. But capping gives good XP, damage calculated as % not in raw numbers, so DD ve DD engagements give great xp. doing 10K on a DD is equal as doing 80K on a BB... Defending caps gives good XP,

Sorry mate.. Its futile!

one question for this, 2 , 1km away NCs, AA specced.. (not fully, BFT and AA range module on both) against 1 haku... What do you think about this match up?

I guess there is no need to carry this subject further away. Have a good day sir..

Don't get me wrong, I am totally on the same page with you about the cruisers getting blapped by BBs because of their misplay, But I am gonna risk looking like a fool again and say this, I am amazed for people all around the internet, who really find it hard to say "oh, I am wrong then" but instead they get into stupid arguments about "How right they are!" But ofcourse these are not directed at you your highness.. I would not DARE to critisize you...

I am sorry your highness!! Please for give me..

having that error daily.. everyday, with the first battle of the day It doesnt matter if it is random, co-op, operation or even training room.. always get it with the first battle.. and never again.. It started after the last patch update..

Just for the amusement, I did it for the tier 10 With all the concealment builds, tier 10 BBs have 13.1 average concealment tier 10 Cruisers have 11.5.. Now, please tell me, how does this help with my full stealth build 13.8km detectability moskva? or a HIV? Lets dive more into numbers.. This is Battleship detectabilities in tier 10 with all stealth build. Yamato : 13,5 Monti : 13,4 GK: 13,6 COnq: 11,8 Repub: 13,5 and these are the CA-CL detectabilities of tier 10, with stealth build, The second number is, concealment with added turning radius.. I just took it into calculation assuming that the CA starts to Turn immediately when it spots the enemy BB, hence this is added into Zao: 9,7 - 10,5 Salem/Desmo: 10,6 - 11,4 wooster: 9,5 - 10,3 Hindi: 12,3 - 13,1 Stalingrad: 14,4 - 15,5 Moskva: 13,8 - 14,9 mino: 8,9 - 9,5 HIV : 12,7 - 13,6 so.. %22 of the all cruisers cannot outspot a single battleship.. at tier X. one of them can outspot all but one, (with only 400-500 meters) rest 4 of them outspot all... but the problem is not about the numbers.. it is just, you said this.. Then when people pointed out your mistake, you started bla bla bla! Be a man, accept your mistake, That generalisation was wrong.. than move along.. that easy...

conning tower of yamato as can be seen in one of above posts has 500mm armor. so no-no for 380mm german BB guns

shima can hit 10K-ish max damage with all guns firing HE.. Khaba has 22.500 HP, For getting a devastating strike, you need to kill a ship at least with %50 of its HP with one artilery salvo or torpedo salvo.. So, shima, getting a dev strike out of a Khaba is tehcnically and practically impossible in world of warships.. You definetelly missed something from your screen..

Thanks for the effort mate, appreciated.. first, you racked 25K damage in 78 hits. no citadels and around 2km, means a very very flat trajectory the situation described was, a tirpitz from 15kms, 20K on 1 salvo.. which means at least 1 citadel and more than a couple penetration... I will do the same experiment with bismarck in about an hour.. first at 15km then around 2 km.. will share the results here

Not being sarcastic at all.. just really want to learn something new, can you show me those those spots which are not inside the autobounce angle when the yama is bow on?

First, gneisenau to roon, from front.. is improbable but not impossible.. same as montana to missouri.. but I think I now have to go into the training room to try out these things :) and about the picture.. that mass is not heavily angled.. it is actualy over angled.. and showing the exact same weakspot which NC and Iowa has.. under in between the front turrets.. Just for clarification, I am talking about a complete bowon scenarios.. just 0 degrees angling.. I am gonna check the armor values of the other said ships..

the thing is.. no ship.. other than Yamato or mushashi.. NONE, can penetrate yamato from the bow.. I am trying to tell this since the beginning but something gets stuck in the way I guess.. so, 1) replay or it didn't happen 2) git gud mate..

Check the armor scheme, Conning tower has 500mm armor.. and the rest of the superstructre is 13-19mm.. no pens on the tower whatsoever, all overpens on the superstructure firing with HE is a totally different scenario, It needs to full pen 5 of 8 shells of the tirpitz guns fire from 15km... with that accuracy.. but that was one of the scenarios which can be possible once in a blue moon. That is why I asked for a replay first. All I am saying is, 15kms, full bow on yamato, against a tirpitz, with AP, 20K hit.. this is not possible.. something has to be different. My point here, OP use this claim to say how weak the yamato armor is :) I don't have DOY, and really didnt know about the armor. But I really got surprised that captain didn't know that too :) He didnt angle at all!! OK EDIT Where is our best experimentor? @El2aZeR do you have a tirpitz mate? can you go in a training room, 15kms away from a full bow on yamato doing 20K from your tirpitz? I can try it with bismarck when I get home tonight..
