    WG charging for crew meals

    I wonder what would happen if WG decided to implement all the stuff they are adding to WoWs economics into WoT: the prices for the premium vehicles, not sharing accounts with the rest of the games, the XP and credits grind, the costs of the modules and updates, cammo patterns paid per battle, fixed costs per battle added to the damage you take...

    Finally an event worthy of WoWS

    The ships that got me Königsberg and Ognevoi have been Kongo and Omaha respectively. Kongo in the second game, and Omaha in the first. Using stronk ships seems to be a good recipe to get the 4 kills. Not being a DD player, I'm enjoying more the German cruiser.

    Royal Navy ships

    Thanks, I was already missing today's post about British ships...

    Presentación del nuevo miembro del staff

    Bienvenido. Yo tengo una pregunta. En tu presentación hablas sólo de los barquitos.¿Estás en exclusiva para WoWs o tienes que compartir tu tiempo laboral con el resto de títulos de WG? Hasta ahora el personal que hemos visto por aquí es el mismo que en WoT, y eso a mi modo de ver es un error garrafal. "Jack of all trades and master of none" que dicen los británicos.

    Yubari engine destruction bug

    Very good armour... compared with the previous IJN Light cruisers (actually destroyer leaders). And I don´t think this is a specific Yubari bug. It's simply the result of a general nerf to all ships after CBT, to make people buy the premium consumables. Obviously, the less armoured ships (destroyers, light cruisers) suffer the most.

    New Aim Mod (No, realy, this one is new)

    This is not an option for me. This game is 50% positioning and 50% shooting. If you remove 50% of the difficulty, I have no interest in the game.As simple as that.

    Ranked battles don't work

    My experience has been the opposite. From 25th to 15th it's been like hell, having terrible players in my team who wouldn't follow what was planned at the beginning and would yolo alone to whatever cap point they felt like. After the irrevocable levels, up and down the ranks a few times. Then, from 15th to 10th (my current rank) everything has been much easier, and I have never lost a rank. And, to be honest, this has surprised me a lot. Before starting the season I thought that I could go fast trough the first ranks, as they were supposed to be filled with players worse than me, and that I would struggle as I climbed through the ranks. And it's been completely different so far.

    Finally an event worthy of WoWS

    That looks like a step in the right direction. Hopefully they won't spoil it somehow.

    I LOVE WOW!

    Show your rank in nickname?

    And being auto-targeted because your rank is the highest in the battle? No thanks

    JUEGO - Tu barco me suena...

    Correcto. Construccion británica, armamento checoeslovaco, inicialmente para Yugoslavia. Capturado tras la invasión de 1941 e integrado en la Regia Marina. En Septiembre de 1943 con la rendición italiana fue capturado por los alemanes en Genova, donde estaba de reparaciones, y empleado hasta que éstos tuvieron que marcharse de allí, ya en 1945, y lo hundieron. Una vida movidita.

    JUEGO - Tu barco me suena...

    Pues si sabes cuál es dilo y que siga el juego, porque aquí parece que no tienen ni idea.

    What rank are you?

    From 25 to about 15 was like Hell. After rank15 things improve a lot, because your team mates are actually better, even though every now and then you still find the "bad apple" that made it a level too high thanks to teammates. Currently at level 11, with a 60% winrate in ranked battles. Once I decided to only use the New Mexico, my win ratio went up like a rocket. I'm pretty sure that after rank15 the win ratio with NM has been like 80%.

    Suggesting introducing 2 new "classes" of ships

    Yeah, whatever. End of discussion.

    Suggesting introducing 2 new "classes" of ships

    So who tells you that next to that map you are playing in there's not another strategically important airfield, or naval base, or whatever? By the way, when PTs started operating in the Solomons, Henderson field and Guadalcanal were more than secured.

    The truth behind WG sales

    You still don't understand that the ship itself is not part of the problem. Sorry, but can't help you with that.

    Ammo reload! why does it chance all if only 1 gun fired?

    Ignoring all the superfluous crap posted in this thread, I'll say that shells of different types have different ballistic capabilities, so they can't be mixed in the same salvo. It would drive the fire director mad, as you can find a fire solution for AP, and one fire solution for HE, but not for both. So ships had only one type of shell loaded.

    Suggesting introducing 2 new "classes" of ships

    Think about the maps we have and possibly you will want to change that. Not that I want some mosquito-boats around, but...
  20. There are more than 6 ships eligible to play these battles: 4 tier6 and 4 tier7 regular ships per nation, plus the Premium Sims, Atlanta and Warspite.

    Sigh

    Having no interest at all on the ship, the interesting point here is that this bastards have removed the stand alone ship and added another bundle. Game over for me, WG.

    Cruise altitude

    Everything in the plane department in WoWs is terribly conceived.It feels like they decided in the very last moment that they had to include carriers and planes and they did it in a rush. I posted this a while ago, but nobody made a comment about it: red text change to green - RogDodgeUK

    Regarding British Destroyers.

    Just point out a few mistakes in the original post: -Tribal and JKN classes main armament was not DP. The XIX mount had a max elevation of 40º, which made it unsuitable for anything else than long distance barrage fire. After the Dunkerque and Norway experience against Luftwaffe, one mount in the Tribals was changed for a 4in DP twin mount (not Oerlikons, which replaced the 0.5" quad MG) to give them some more AA self-defence. -No N class destroyers served in the RNZN. They were all used by the RAN, the Netherlands Navy and the Polish Navy. As per all the armament changes, no need to have them all in the game. Clemsons also had some different setup of armaments, but WG decided for a stock (4x1 4in) and a elite configuration (4x2 4in), leaving out the ships with 4x1 5in guns. Regarding the torpedo mounts, I'd ignore the substitution of one bank for extra AA 3 and 4 in guns, since in this game AA in destroyers is not very useful and nobody would trade half of his torpedoes for more AA. Useful in a WW2 convoy escort ship, but not in WoWs. What has really broken all my expectations has been the placement of Bliskawica at tier 6. I expected it to be at tier 7 or 8 with such strong armament, and consequently thought that Tribals would be also at tier 7-8. But now I'm not really sure how will they arrange the high tiers. Before that, my idea of the British DD line was like this: T2 S Class-T3 V&W Class-T4 Scott Class-T5 E Class-T6 H Class-T7 J Class-T8 Tribal Class-T9 Battle Class-T10 Daring Class

    BB gets ramed by friendly DD

    Possibly you had that poor compensation because of your retaliation. I had a similar situation a couple of days ago. My Colorado was hit by 3 torpedoes of a stupid Myoko captain (at tier 7!!!!! You would expect that at tier 4 but not at 7!!) that launched behind me from less than 3 Km. I got 20000+ credits compensation (probably the same amount of damage he inflicted me), but the difference is that I didn't shoot him. EDIT: Just realised this thread is quite old and has been re-lived. Compensation system may have changed since then.
