    Mods in WoWS 0.5.5

    Because that is just your opinion, not a fact.
  2. It's a reward, and it's OK as it is. If you don't like it, just go to another port and forget about them.

    The Dreadnought Challenges Thread

    Wow, I won something which is not based on luck... I went back to check my good games during that period, and I think I found the culprit: Basically because I couldn't find any other decent game on Warspite in those days. Funnily, I remember myself typing in chat before the battle had started that it was not going to be funny for me in that battle with tier 8 BBs and no cover to use. I was completely wrong. If anybody is interested, I uploaded the replay to http://wowreplays.com/, but it is from the previous 5.8.1 patch, so I don't know if it will still work. Thanks WG, I appreciate the Premium day and the flags.

    No plans for a french BB tree?

    Dunkerque had an improved sistership, Strasbourg, that will probably be in the tree.
  5. Of that Q&A I find even more interesting this:

    Damage control coding fail?

    To be honest, a few days ago (may have been still in 5.8.1) I had a similar experience. I was burning from dive bombers, but some torpedo planes were coming my way, so I waited before starting the repair. They hit me once and flooding started. Then I pressed repair, and the fire was gone... but the flooding continued!!! It's only happened once and I didn't sink from it, so I didn't think again about it.
  7. Don't count on it. It's 1 extra slot per nation, and we already got the German one when they released the German cruisers. You can expect one when the British are released, though.

    Matchmaking Chart

    It makes all the sense. Read it properly and you'll notice the word Battle tier, not ship tier

    When is "soon" ?

    Do you mean that of filling all the map with shells? Oh Kawachi, how I miss you...NOT!!!

    VOIP Chat Feedback

    I spent a few games in a division last night and it worked flawlessly. I only changed the default V key to Space, as I think it's more comfortable to use.

    Matchmaking Chart

    The battle tier is established by the highest tier ship of the match. So, If you're in a tier 3 ship, the battle is at least a tier 3 battle, even if all the rest of ships are tier 2s.
  12. Yes, it is. At 28 knots is a bit slow, but it's basically a cruiser, and the Germans rated it as such.
  13. Thanks for the heads up. I wouldn't have realised at first, as I use a camouflage remover.

    Level 12 reward consumables missing?

    This morning I've been thinking exactly the same thing. I only use premium Damage control party in my ships, so when I checked the issued stuff by reaching level 12 (which I reached long ago) I thought that many of those things were not in my inventory: premium radar, premium fighter, something called "torpedo reload booster"... I have some of the others, but they may have been awarded through missions or ranked battles.

    Tier V Gnevny

    If it was the slowest before modifications and captain skills, obviously will be the slowest after any other DD gets the same treatment. But you probably won't choose the same in a Minekaze and its clones. Right now my Minekaze has 30 seconds traverse.
  16. I don't really care. My tier 5s have been like months in almost exclusively tier 7 battles. Specially Furutaka.

    0.5.9. Patch Notes

    That's a great solution, but let's not forget that they created the problem themselves.

    US Navy: Boeing Pegasus-Class Hydrofoils

    Probably at the same time as the Zumwalt-class destroyers.
  19. Bearing in mind the underwhelming performance I'm having with Hipper, I don't think I would ever buy Prinz Eugen. Not even if it was cheaper than 25€ (which is my absolute limit to pay for a ship), which is not going to happen.

    Tier V Gnevny

    This is exactly what I did in Gnevny to cope with the bad turret traverse: 21 seconds traverse is faster than most cruisers. Thanks for the tips. I think I'll go for AFT in the 4th line of skills. Hopefully soon .

    Play together / available in EU

    It would've been nice if the referrer got the low tier ship as well, but a free slot, some camouflages and a bunch of flags is OK. It's a nice way to try to bring people back.

    Would like to see the space battles again.

    Nothing specially attractive in last year's April fools event. It was still the same game, making it dark doesn't change a thing. I think I just played one game to try it and that's it

    Tier V Gnevny

    Which level 4 captain skill to choose for Gnevny: Demolition expert or Advanced fire training? Probably will keep it and stop here for a while in this line (Ognevoi seems like a painful ship), so no need to think about moving the captain to other ships.

    Broken damage model?!

    We had no evidence until 0.5.7, but we can see it now with the new separate ribbons. Penetrations for 0 damage, overpenetrations that do more than 10% damage, hits that should be citadel hits are listed as overpenetrations... Then we have battleships citadeled by destroyers, or Clevelands detonated by HE shells. The damage model is a complete disaster in this game.
