    Exeter: Why is there only an "ADMIRAL PACK" ?!

    Usually this would hold true, but as the Exeter is also available through a mission chain for free, we decided it wasn't necessary to make a "naked" offer available for her. If you cannot get her via the mission chain and don't want to buy one of the bundles, I'm sure you'll be able to pick her up through the Arsenal in a future update.

    Update 0.8.1: British Squadrons

    Damn, it was supposed to say "If you already have this permanent camouflage for Błyskawica, you'll receive compensation in doubloons, equal to the cost of the camouflage." A few players got the camouflage immediately for placing in the top 10 during the competition and they can still complete the mission for doubloons. We will change the article now to clarify - sorry for the confusion.
  3. And here we are now, the Alaska. Now i know what it says and how it is politically worded, as we all knew what it means, how about you don't even mention "no solid plan for the future" because we also know what that means. That was taken from the WOT website basically worried about "Buying" high tier premiums which will effect the gameplay of high tier, i don't blame them (here we are). There is nothing untrue or deceitful about that statement, we did not have any plans for any more releases back then, as it was an experiment. But the experiment went well, we didn't have issues with a fleet of newbie JBs flooding the games, and we saw no reason based on that experiment to not do it again. And I'm always up for a chat about the game, join us in Berlin for Twitchcon and I'll even get you a beer ;)

    SERVER DOWN !!!!

    Unfortunately there was an issue in the data center last night that affected not just our servers, but other services provided by that data center as well. In this case there was absolutely nothing we could do, but the situation was resolved by them quite quickly. Our apologies for the disruption.

    Update 0.8.1: British Squadrons

    Give it a little time and you'll see that the overall situation for DDs has improved. If there are Moskvas within radar range you of course need to be super careful - this was not any different before the update. Salem is a little special and supposed to be different from Des Moines which is why she did not get an adjustement there. I am confused by your question, you will be getting a new camouflage so there will of course be no compensation.
  6. I honestly think it will have absolute no impact either way on the actual quality of high-tier games you will see. Does there have to be a next step? I don't want all ships to be accessible to everyone, but I also don't see the harm of also offering ships like Alaska in the premium shop.

    Radar Rework

    Captains, Please share your feedback regarding the changed radar mechanics here.
  8. I do think its an elitist statement and I challenge some of your assumptions. Players could always already purchase tier 8 ships, which see the exact same battles as tier 9 ships. Bad players exist even after hundreds or thousands of battles and while experience certainly helps, many new players play better than older ones. This image of the complete newbies that just comes in and simply buys a high-tier ship right away is often propagated, but in actual fact is a rare occurence. While it is a good ship it certainly has quite a high skill-floor and is more suited to experienced captains - I wouldn't recommend it to newbies.

    Update 0.8.1: British Squadrons

    No, this is intended as the Russian cruisers have a clear progression in their duration with: Chapayev: 20 seconds Donskoy: 25 seconds Moskva: 30 seconds

    Update 0.8.1: British Squadrons

    I heard back already and it seems it is working as intended and a limitation with the way the missions currently count plane kills. Sorry.
  12. But we do this!? We previously did missions to obtain: Prinz Eitel Friedrich, Admiral Graf Spee, Aigle, Indianapolis, Cossack (99 cent investment needed), Varyag and Duke of York. And then you can always complete the in game campaign to get Shinonome. And finally, this month you will be able to get HMS Exeter.

    Update 0.8.1: British Squadrons

    Usually this would result in doubloon compensation. Its not about being a workaround, but about being able to make different kind of events - in this one you will be able to earn a lot of containers in game for free.
  14. MrConway

    Update 0.8.1: British Squadrons

    There will be a portal article in 10 minutes explaining everything! Unfortunately it looks like the mission only counts AA kills, not kills made by your fighters - this is working as intended. looks like a bug in the mission.
  15. MrConway

    Upcoming Fix To AA Mechanics

    Apart from the post I made in the devblog section I don't have anything I can say right now, stay tuned.

    Some clarification please WG

    How are we turning the game into World of Warplanes? You always faced planes in Warships, we just changed how they are operated. If anything surface ships now have to worry less about planes as they are no longer capable of instant deletions. And if you have the fighters up, they will attack and follow enemy planes that get too close to you.

    Carriers 0.8.0-3 Please WG stop punish us!

    We felt that many of the issues we hotfixed were having a negative impact on gameplay as a whole for all the different classes. CVs are absolutely going to get more love and you can see by our announcement of planned changes that we are aware of the issues they are facing right now. I don't need you to "fall" for any lines, just wait and you'll see!
  18. You need to remember that we run a free-to-play game with vastly different players playing it. While we love to give people the opportunity to get ships like Alaska for free by just collecting free XP over time, this is not an option for everyone and some people simply prefer not to wait. In my opinion our approach with JB and Alaska is great as it puts these unique ships into reach for everyone.

    Next Clan battles season format

    We'll have information on dates closer to launch, but you shouldn't expect anything during update 0.8.1.
  20. MrConway

    Some clarification please WG

    They do not, they can recall planes but they remain vulnerable for a few seconds and are likely to take a lot of damage. Your fighter squad will automatically engage and follow nearby enemy aircraft until their duration expires. But they are not supposed to be a guarantee for plane kills, the enemy CV can of course avoid getting too close - but this means they did their job!
  21. MrConway

    What If? S1E3

    I am honestly not convinced and think the current stats should already contain enough detail about how a player performs on average.
  22. MrConway

    Update 0.8.1: British Squadrons

    No, they are not ready yet and won't be added tomorrow. I don't have a fixed ETA yet.
  23. MrConway

    Update 0.8.1: Britische Staffeln

    Er hat mit seiner Behauptung allerdings recht.
  24. MrConway

    Update 0.8.1: British Squadrons

    We will be fixing the description to reflect the correct plane type used with the next update, as it was a low priority bug we couldn't accelerate it for the current patch.
  25. MrConway

    Update 0.8.1: British Squadrons

    There will be information about Exeter very soon, as for Leone - stay tuned!
