I don't think you quite understand how a private forum works and should probably check out the forum rules. Your first thread was entirely nonconstructive and a pure rant, and this one is just a meta-rant about your first rant being stopped... honestly Icey... //closed

We have to pick our battles, literally While we focused heavily on the Hunt for Bismarck this year, there is no reason we cannot do something in honor of Jutland next year, maybe we can figure out who won? ;)

Captains, The event calendar for May is here - with a taste of what you might expect in updates, specials and more! DISCLAIMER: Any and all items in the calendar are subject to change - for up-to-date information follow our portal and Facebook page! Updates Something is cooking! Update 0.6.5 A new update will come and bring some valuable goodies some time during May. We can't say more right now - but the Public Test will start soon! Forum Upgrade Around May 10 we will also upgrade your favourite forum (that is this one, just to be clear ;)). What can you expect? Well... Better visuals, calendars, question sections... and smoother operation! Keep your eyes peeled for the news! New Ships As you may already know, new ships are coming soon - with a bit of luck, you may meet them in May! The Mighty Hood You may have noticed her Facebook - the mighty Hood is already roaming the High Seas and will continue to do so throughout May! Kaga Another upcoming Premium you may already meet in game - the majestic Imperial Japanese Navy carrier Kaga. Beware of her bombers! De Grasse After bringing in a full branch of French cruisers, you may begin to see the Premium light cruiser De Grasse shortly after Update 0.6.5. Kidd ...and the same goes for a brand new Fletcher class destroyer with a pirate captain painted on her smokestack! Missions As usual, the May missions will be themed around naval historical events that took place in May! 26 April - 03 May: WEEKLY MISSIONS- Invasion of Tulagi (1942) As part of the expansion towards Australia and to cover the invasion of Port Moresby, the Japanese fleet established a base on the little island of Tulagi. They immediately suffered a surprise raid by the USS Yorktown. Causing significant losses, this raid set the scene for the Battle of the Coral Sea. No rules. No ship class limits. Just destruction and experience! Top prize: New camouflage pack - and some Consumables! 03 - 10 May WEEKLY MISSIONS - Battle of the Coral Sea (1942) Attempting to secure Papua - New Guinea, the Japanese invasion convoy bound for Port Moresby encountered an unexpected problem - two US Navy aircraft carriers in the area. The first ever battle between aircraft carriers started - and while the Americans lost more ships, the Japanese were forced to abandon the advance against Port Moresby. All classes were involved in this battle... But for the top prize you should brush up on your carrier handling! Top prize: Battle Hardened camouflages - and Defensive AA modification! 10 - 17 May: WEEKLY MISSIONS - Battle of the Strait of Otranto (1917) While World War I in the Adriatic was mostly static, the Austro-Hungarian navy did try to break through the Allied blockade several times. Time to remember even less known battles! Just shoot up everything you see (as long as it is in the Red team that is!) Top prize: A Captain for Bougainville - with his own bunk and extensive Naval academy training! 17 - 24 May: WEEKLY MISSIONS - Bombardment of Ancona (1915) After last week we are staying in the Mediterranean - just two years earlier. When Italy declared war in 1915, the Austro-Hungarian navy did not hesitate and quickly launched a surprise naval bombardment of strategic targets. Let's burn the enemy port to the ground! Top prize: Battle Hardened camouflages - and Spotting Aircraft Modification 1! 24 - 31 May: WEEKLY MISSIONS - Battle of Tsushima (1905) Tsushima, 112 years ago. The Japanese Navy's own Trafalgar, the battle that broke the back of the Imperial Russian Navy... And the battle that, ultimately, paved the way to the Pearl Harbor and Midway. This is an all-out battle. Sink them all! Top prize: You will see - it's a surprise! Specials 05 - 09 May: SPECIAL - Fleet Review Victory Day celebrations are here - and with them some nice surprises. 13 - 16 May: SPECIAL - Nation Spotlight - German Battleships Boost your progress through the tree! 20 - 23 May: SPECIAL - Class Spotlight - Carriers Practice mastering the decisive weapon of WWII at sea! 27 - 30 May: SPECIAL - Expand the Port There are never too many port berths!

Captains, Unfortunately there is currently an issue with the English texts for PVE and texts are only displayed as placeholders. We are currently fixing the issue and should have it resolved soon, you may however still encounter placeholders in some places. Apologies for the inconvenience

The localization error was fixed yesterday evening, the placeholder text should now have been replaced. Please bear in mind that the text itself is still a draft and has not been proofread, it might therefore contain errors.

Captains, unfortunately we are currently experiencing server issues, we apologize for the inconvenience this is causing. The matter is already being investigated and we hope to return to normal service soon.

Thanks to all the organizers, casters and teams for a great tournament, it was supremely entertaining and exciting to watch! And congratulations to OM for the deserved win!

Sorry for the delayed update gents, the login server was back up shortly after 14:00.

It appears that the issue is affecting our account database and therefore all Wargaming products. We will keep you updated, but hope to have the issue resolved soon.

If you have any other suggestions on what we could improve, let me know

Please feel free to discuss the new season of ranked battles in this thread. Should you have any feedback to give about the new season, please leave it in one of the following threads: Ranked Battles Season 6 - General Feedback Ranked Battles Season 6 - Bugs Ranked Battles Season 6 - Matchmaking

Please leave any bug reports regarding update 0.5.7 here after reading these instructions, and checking the known issues.

Captains, To celebrate and further promote the burgeoning clan scene in World of Warships, we are challenging all clan players to a contest! Sign up, fight solo or in a division and win prizes! Good luck!

Please leave any feedback about the matchmaking in season 6 here.

If you play World of Warships on a MAC using our MAC wrapper solution, please leave any feedback on the program here.

Captains! As you know, you currently do not receive any credits when receiving a duplicate Arpeggio ship, this is intended and will not change. However, as we appreciate that effort should be rewarded, every Arpeggio ship you earn a duplicate of will reward you with an additional port slot immediately that is yours to keep! In addition we have received some messages about Arpeggio content that is in the game client, but not part of our current mission set. Since we don't want the enthusiasts and collectors among you to miss out on any content, we have a solution! After the end of the current Arpeggio missions, any players that either finished a duplicate mission or earned either Takao or Nachi, will receive the three missing avatars (Iona, Chihaya Gunzou and Yotaroh) and the Arpeggio flag.

Please leave your feedback on any other changes not covered by the dedicated thread here.

Please leave your feedback on the balance changes here.

Gentlemen, We have just updated the modpack for 0.6.3.1, hopefully this fixes the issues you reported for the previous version. There is also now a unified installer available (in beta) that allows you to install the modpack for any region: https://share.wargaming.net/f/d68b66e885/?raw=1

Captains, Unfortunately the patch introduced a bug where players trying to join a division while having the submarine selected in port get their account stuck. Should you be affected, please try logging out of the game for ~10 minutes, this should reset the account. The bug has already been fixed. The fix will be released with 06302 micropatch planned for release at 05:00 UTC (07:00 CEST) March 31, 2017 There will be a down time of approximately 1 hour. This patch will also fix the voice chat issue.

The modpack has been updated for 0.6.3.

Please make sure to install the latest update, it should now be available through the launcher. @All: Servers are back up and logins are working

We do apologize sincerely for the inconvenience that our update caused. We are currently rolling back the micropatch that we deployed this morning to fix the issues related to the submarine and voice chat. Unfortunately sometimes these issues cascade in unforeseen ways. Rest assured that our dev team is hard at work on a solution to the issue.

Captains, we have just released micro patch 0.6.3.0.3 that should fix control issues introduced with update 0.6.3. Unfortunately this reintroduces the earlier submarine and voice chat bugs, please avoid selecting the bug while in a division. Should you continue encountering any other bugs after this update, please report them in the relevant forum thread. We apologize for the inconvenience!
