It clearly seems that I need to pick signals more and more.. I need especially sierra mike signals (anyway to buy them individually?) The credit one is just crap.. I dont have a prem ship but I have a prem account.. and even on tier 7 I am earning much much more than I need. I heard when it comes to the higher tiers 8 and above, they say credits just vanishes... but I think I can use my income signals over there..

How some people cannot understand this situation and calling it "entitlement" for the people who complain about it, is beyond me! here is the situation, WG gave gifts in sizes which there is no comparison from the past gifts. Gifts are in the size of the planets when you compare them with the past in all WG games. So.. Understandable.. nothing to whine about.. The problem is, not the gifts itself.. If someone is whining just because "I want free stuff too" then I agree with the etitlement guys.. but our situation here, as follows.. Some people, who didnt play a single game in months got the gifts. Some people, who didnt play a single game in months, didnt get the gifts. Some people, who played EVERYDAY got the gifts, Some people, who played EVERYDAY didnt get the gifts, Some people, who played once in a while, got the gifts, Some people, who played once in a while didnt get the gifts... can you see it now? I am not whining, I am just asking about the criteria.. thats all.. I just wanted to know, WHY the people who got the gifts got them. Because I think there is something wrong about these... And yes, the size of the gifts were like WOT size, (A tier 2 free premium ship with 3 days premium) no one would ever said a word about it.. But IF you hand out ships, dubloon, XP, Credits etc etc.. to some people.. Yes I will ask all these questions.. Not to whine.. but to learn... say it curiosity...

As a proper costumer.. I opened a ticket and asking about the issue, and criteria.. so.. a small poll about the answer I am gonna get! a) we cant disclose.... b) there is no such thing.... c) what free ships??? who got them??? we want names!!! d) oh... that rewards! sorry for not announcing.. e) this is not the first time we screw you... dont make it a big deal...

SBMM lover here too? omg.. please try to understand this.. YOU CANNOT HAVE SMBB IN A GAME WHERE THERE IS NO RESPAWN! think about it for a while.. you will get it.. in a year or decade!

didnt played for over 6 months.. didnt even logged in.. Just started again last week.. I will go home and log in tonight again.. If I dont see at least some gifts.. I will be asking what is going on? and yes someone said, companies generally reward loyal players.. to encourage the loyalty.. F2P games generally reward daily login and daily play time.. to get the constant player numbers.. But this is WG... you never know!

the event starts today? when will the boxes will be available.. you have any info on that?

Hello, I would like to enter the lottery plox! #1: Prinz Eugen #2: graf spee #3: Premium days Thank you.. and thanks to all donators.

How can you not understand, I fail to grasp.. Let me put it in simple and short sentences... You have a tier 8 Ship which normally can see %33 of tier 8 games, %33 of tier 9 games, %33 of tier 10 games.. according to the matchmaking. Your friend has a tier 6 ship, which normally can see %33 of tier 6 games, %33 of tier 7 games, %33 of tier 8 games.. according to the matchmaking. With your suggestion, When you put these two ships into a division, both ships will see %100 of tier 8 games.. hence, you will be toptier as always in your ship, and your friend will be bottom tier as always in his ship, the part you are not grasping, with your suggestion, you are getting a very good MM for you and screwing your friend universally while he was trying to grind... So basically, you are not selfish towards to the other players but you are actually selfish towards your friends which you want to play together because it is "FUN" you get it this time? I am a dinger, I can go very low leves on explaining things.. It comes with the clan regulations.. You still dont understand.. tell me.. (where is my abacus??... NURSE!!!)

Güzel bir açıklama olmuş. Yukarıdakine ek olarak biraz daha açıklayıcı olması adına şunu ekleyebiliriz. Normal şartlarda bir geminin toplam can puanı oyun içerisinde görünenin yaklaşık 2 katı. (kolaylık olsun diye 2 katı olarak kabul edelim.) Bu ne demek oluyor? Şu şekilde örnek vermek gerekir ise, Bir geminin, Köşk kısmında bulunan kısımların toplam can puanı 50.000 dersek, köşk kısmı dışında bulunan tüm bölümlerinin toplam can puanı da 50.000 diyebiliriz. Bizim bu gemiyi savaş dışı bırakmamız için (oyunda tüm gemiler batıyor ancak böyle olmak zorunda değil, kullanılamaz hale gelmesi yeterli, motorunun tamamen yok edilmesi mesela, ya da tüm silah bataryalarının yok edilmesi gibi) bu gemiye 50.000 can puanı hasar vermemiz yeterli. Bunu istediğiniz şekilde yapabilirsiniz. İster yakarak, su aldırarak, köşk kısmına hasar vererek. Battleship'lerin tamir mantığı da buradan geçiyor, Köş kısmına veya gemi gövdesine verilen hasarlar tamir edilemez iken, geminin üst kısmına verilen hasarlar tamir edilebiliyor. Bütün bunların bize oyunda bir katkısı veya farklılığı var mı? tabi ki yok 50K canı olan gemiye 50K vur.. basit sonrası gluk! gluk! Ancak oyunun detaylarını bilmek, oyunu seven adama keyif verir diye düşündüğüm için yazayım dedim.

Guys... while it comes to this.. Can I ask a question? New for the Wows.. came from Wot.. (boring and frustrating as hell in the last couple months.. and may be I need a break after 17K matches..) The problem I cannot understand here is a lot like the cases you shown here on this thread.. Mostly the BBs but sometimes Cruisers.. They commit to one point.. and go there.. never turn around, never change course.. your base falls, they continue to push to the other flank.. enemy starts capping, you scream in chat "COME AND HELP THEY ARE HERE" and sweating through your eyes while dodging shells and trying to reset the cap.. 4 BB and 2 Cruisers chase 2 low health BBs and 1 CV on the other flank.. They commit to one point at start.. they even dont turn back when they see they are all alone on the flank.. and say "Noob team, help me" I really cannot understand.. this is a far worse situation than in WOT.. I am playing mostly tier 4 and 5 lately.. and have two questions.. why most of the people, try to stay at the border of their range? and never even try to change flanks.. (it is like, If they push their flank they will win even though the team loses) and is it same as this on the higher tiers.. because I tried DDs.. I loved them but they are a little bit though for me now.. Like LTs in wot.. I started playing and enjoying LTs later in my wot life.. I tried BBs.. loved their damage and deleting potential.. but I hated the mobility.. I dont like to play some floating metal bunkers which can be burned and punched easily.. Then I found my love in Cruisers.. But as If seen to me, at least %50 of the players either, 1) doesnt know their role on the game.. 2) or doesnt want to do their role on the game.. and after seing this.. trying your [edited]of while knowing almost nothing about the game (thats me) to help the team here and there.. doesnt makes any sense.. so I go back to camp, and try to find opportunity shots.. then that becomes boring... I am really confused about that.. Because If it goes like this.. I am gonna stop having fun after I've learned more.. then fun to no fun, and no fun turns into rage.. like I had in WOT.. But the grinds are much longer here.. is it worth?

but overpenning means "Flooding" because of the shell trajectory..

even one tier lower BBs, can hit me for 15K damage while I was trying to sail away in zig zags and citadel me from behind (that sounded dirtier than I thought) Yes I will hide behind anything that I find.. You really expect cruiser captains get out of the open and attack you head on? 1 on 1?? yes we can manouver... but 2 lucky shells are enough.. but I have to hit you how many times? 70? get real.. cruisers get out of the safety If they have the number advantage.. and smart cuisers will sacrifice themselves one by one, while killing the last 2 remaining BBs... our job is not to get on BBs.. our job is to wait, find DDs, go help our BBs with AA, go help to reset to cap.. Cruisers have to wait and see where they are needed most.. (that is the hardest part of the skill cap to learn) and while we are waiting.. why we dont fire some looping shots to the big stupid battle ships.. If I burn that bulk.. and If the BB captain is a moron, he/she use damage control.. that is the best thing I can do for the team..

that will be our first puplic uprising about.. We want premium ammo for ships.. Or at least, we want to place tanks on ships as for secondary battery, controlled by dingers.. which can conveniently fire premium ammunation..

And a side note.. Dingers finally here! For those who dont know who we are... Just wanna say... You are lucky!

So it is same as wot.. when you start to realize the idiocracy in the game.. you start being frustrated.. oh hell.. I hate WG... I already started it... there is a map.. (most of the maps I still cant match the names and images together still) a very narrow strait at the center.. I usually stay at the enterance in my DD with a friend on the other side.. every match.. someone with a BB or CA comes through it after the blind salvo of their DDs fired.. everymatch... an idiot comes from there.. I just wonder why?? why in the hell why? and everymatch there is an idiot in our team.. goes through there at the start.. in a CA or even better in a BB.. and asks DDs to go forward infront of him.. to show him what is coming from there.. How dense can you be?

I can teach you WOT.. you can teach me WOWs.. how about this?

After playing a long time in WOT, (and at least the half of it spent by raging!) I decided to give another try to WOWs, (my first try doesnt count actually, given I had only 3 battles.. anyway) I am having a lot of fun when you compare it to the WOT, but I believe that is mostly because I still dont know shite about the game.. I am playing mostly tier 4 and 5 and having fun.. even If I do nada in the battles.. at least I am learning.. I can say.. "Ok this was a massive foch up from my side! Self-Note: dont go there again!" on the other hand, I am watching videos on youtube a lot.. trying to learn the tactics and mechanics.. After 300+ battles.. I can say that clearly, the player profile doesnt change a bit from WOT, and I am afraid, after I learn this game a little, a lot of rage and UNfun times awaits for me. I still cant understand a lot of players.. for example, this is a scenario I often see, we are in advantage 7 vs 3.. enemy caps.. and all the ships in our team sails away from our cap, BBs chasing CVs while the enemy caps, fast ships, 4 of them, trying to hunt down the last DD on the team, while 1 cruiser capping our base.. people sailing alone on a flank, and complain "Noob team! Why no support!" People giving broadside to the enemy cruisers in BBs.. why? "Because I is Battleship! I is invincible!!" then you him them hard with AP, then you get accused of being a haxxor!! People going into cap, smoking.. then sitting still.. and asking why they got torped while they are unseen! People sailing straight lines.. over the torpedo range.. you calculate.. you fire.. it will be a very very thin chance to hit them.. If only they sail in a straight line for another 2 kms... and boom! hit.. enemy sunk... people firing torpedos behind the first line, sometimes second line. Prople firing torpedos in a ship which has 6km range, while the nearest enemy is on 10km.. I believe, the average intelligence of the players are the same with WOT.. by this I mean, have no idea about the game mechanics, and no intention to learn them.. actually I believe they have no idea about the concept of the "Mechanics" I am not having fun in WOT for the last couple months.. I am having great fun in WOWs.. Please tell me, when this fun goes, after which tier, after what amount of battles.? I really think there must be mandatory tutorials for this game.. for the beginners.. to teach them the mechanics.. long, explaining tutorials.. when they try to fire torpedos out for range, the tutorial stops.. and tells them.. "The enemy you are targeting, out of reach for your torpedos!" Something like that.. Tutorials which is explaining it like explaining to the first grades.. slow, and simple..

Hello community, I am starting to ask my question in my first ever post with the high hopes of the WOWs community being friendly, Because as a new player in low tiers, the in battle communication and TK/TD incidents put me through awe! Anyway, after 15k battles in wot (with acc excavatus), I decied to take a break and try Wows instead, I am happy now because there is much much much much less frustration here. Although I presume that becomes from bein in tier 3 max and having less then 100 games has a factor in that.. I have a specific question regarding the shell types, but please feel free to add any kind of information that you think I should know about. for example, how is the high tier battles? how about the game balance? MM looks good, does it do good in high tiers? grind looks like worse than tonks am I right? Credits looks like flowing like a river does it stays like that etc etc.. whatever you can say about the community and the game is good for me. And the question, I read about the HE and AP shells in Wows.. and I made a rule for myself according to the info I gather from the guides (%70) and my ingame experience (%30) as I still haven't decided which class I am gonna follow more intensly, I am trying everything at the moment.. so my rule is, DD: always use HE, CA: use HE on BBs and DDs, and use AP on other CAs and lower tier BBs (If I see them in the future) and use AP at around the max shooting range (because of the shell drop) BB: AP on most, HE on DDs and higher tier BBs.. I dont care about the CVs that much because I dont see them much, and If I happen to see one of them to attacking range I will be most likely in my DD.. so.. these are my rules for shell type preference.. Yes HE doesnt do much damage, but fire looks like a consistent way of giving damage and If you are firing HE from for example a Dresden, the enemy ship will continue to burn.. no matter what. even in BB's.. HE seems much more consistent.. and for hitting.. I dont know If I feel right or not, hitting with HE looks like easier.. AP misses much more.. Yes I got some insane AP salvos.. but I dont feel like it is good enough.. On the other hand, yesterday in a tier 3 BB, score screen showed me that I hit the enemy 105 times.. 40 of them were pens.. the rest, non-pen, richoche or overpens.. So, please tell me what am I doing wrong, what should I try to do first to get more consistent damage with AP.. Because we laugh people in wot when they fire HE from meds or heavy tanks.. and really dont care about them after the first HE.. especially If we are in a well armored tank.. Thanks in advance..

Thanks both.. one question, the pen, bounce and over pen mecs, similar to wot? If so.. I am ok with that.. I always forget to repair party kit... and you say the fire damage is repairable.. yes it is.. thank you for reminding (really, no sarcasm) Thanks again..

Thanks for the info, I soley played with nassau last night, and fired only AP I found that, even a BB coming head on, firing into the superstructure deliver results. it came to my surprise, I had a lot of over pen even from one tier higher BB from broadside but a citadel hit once in a while makes it ok.. On the other hand, I hate fire.. when there is a quick firing cruiser up there.. you burn.. you put it out you burn again... may be 10 secs tops you save.. then you burn till the end.. I must find a way to deal with it..

Thanks for the links.. I watched the wows official videos while it is better than the wot tutorials they are basically aimed at glue eaters I guess.. on the other hand, about the community, please be wrong I really cannot stress enough how I rage and turn blue in the matches of wot.. I am happy now in wows.. because I play poorly (I guess) and have no contribution on the win most of the times.. ( I say %85 ) and there is no reason for me to rage Dont tell me you play a game for life and die then the last two BB's refuse to leave the edge of the map because the remaining and capping DD will kill them with torpedos.. Althouhg in a match past night the static BB player gave me a chill on my spine while under heavy attack from 2 enemy cruisers.. he stayed and fired.. and said.. I am a BB I cant hit on the move..
