So what you are saying is that by launching your defensive fighters you managed to defend yourself from a strike from enemy planes? ...

Gentlemen, we have been through this many times with several ban-waves - there are always many people claiming to be innocently banned. We have investigated many cases thoroughly and in every case have concluded that the detection mechanism works as intended. We cannot send an engineer to your house to check your PC, so we are relying on our tried and true detection methods. We are very clear about what kind of changes to the client are allowed and what kind of software isn't - if you want to be 100% sure do a clean installation of your windows. Otherwise you should realize when we give a warning that you have an issue that YOU need to resolve.

I agree that ships with more AA range than spotting range are annoying, but that might well be addressed and changed. What does spotting give you? A way to win a match in this team based game. If the rewards are still lacklustre for that, they can of course be adjusted. Do I play the game? Yes. Do you? This thread has devolved into unconstructive name-calling and will be closed - keep civil or there will be consequences. closed.

More changes to game mechanics will certainly be coming, but I cannot give any ETA on this particular aspect. We will see!

THIS game, World of Warships PC is not moving to console, we are however developing a separate stand-alone version for consoles that we announced ages ago.

Captains, Please leave any feedback on the new "Fly Strike Win" Event here.

Captains, Please leave any general feedback on the features introduced in update 0.8.0 here. Should your feedback concern one of the topics below please leave the respective feedback in the linked thread. New CVs Ranked Battles & Arms Race Naval Battle: A Clash Between Clans Fly Strike Win Event Lunar New Year Bug Reports As usual, you can find the patch notes on our portal: https://worldofwarships.eu/en/news/game-updates/update-080-takeoff/

Even though you don't have the same blanket vision, a CV is still the best spotter in game as it can spend planes to spot any ship, even high AA ships.

The two are of course connected very strongly, which means that before we can tweak the economy settings to be comfortable we need to be at a point where the average damage of the CVs has stabilized.

Please note that the information in the Development Blog is preliminary. German battleship Viribus Unitis, tier V. The Sigma value is decreased from 1.8 to 1.65; Changed the parameters of the consumable "Repair party": The restoration of the casemate (non-citadel) damage reduced from 50% to 40%; Restoration of hit points, after receiving damage to the citadel, increased from 10% to 33%. The battleship had excessive accuracy for its Main Battery salvoes with hard hitting shells. Changing the parameter will bring the accuracy in line with other battleships of this tier. Viribus Unitis has good armor, allowing it to avoid sustaining large amounts of casemate damage, however, with the small number of hit points, penetrating the citadel (with shell, bomb or torpedo) is fatal for the ship, so changing the proportions of the restored hit points will reduce the severity of the damage received in the citadel. British cruiser Exeter, tier V. Main battery reload increased from 12 to 15 seconds; Removed the consumable "Smoke Generator". Exeter's reload is increased to the value of another heavy cruiser of this tier - Furutaka. "Smoke Generator" is removed, because in the presence "Repair party" and guns with the caliber of 203 mm, this consumable gives an excessive advantage in battle. Japanese cruiser Yahagi, tier V. Main battery reload reduced from 10 to 9 seconds. Soviet destroyer Neustrashimy, tier IX. Changed the parameters of the consumable "Repair party": The restoration of damage increased from 50% to 60%; Duration: 20 sec instead of 28; Healing: 2% instead of 0.5% of maximum hit points per second: Neustrashimy has a large hull and turning circle, and, as a result, when faced with other destroyers and detected, she lost a large amount of hit points. As a result, the destroyer was forced to spend all the it's charges of the "Repair party" and still did not get a full opportunity to return to the battle. Now the "Repair party" is similar to the British cruisers consumable of the high tiers.

Captains, Please share all bugs encountered in the public test of version 0.8.1 below, using the following template: 1. Description Clear and substantial description containing all necessary details. Example: the cruiser Aoba: scout is inoperable. 2. Reproduction steps A sequence of the player's actions which triggered the bug. Example: 1. Select the cruiser Aoba 2. Enter the battle (Training or Random Battle). 3. Try to launch the scout. 3. Result In-game experience resulting from the bug. Example: When you press the scout activation button, you can hear the sound, but nothing actually happens. The aircraft stands still on the catapult. 4. Expected result In-game experience which should have occurred if no bug is present. Example: The scout has to be launched by the catapult. 5. Technical details Example: Bug time: about 19:30 (UTC).Replay (attempt at 01:00), python.log, DxDiag. If you encounter this error, please zip your ~\crashes\ folder, upload it to any online file storage and add the link to your report. If possible and relevant, please also provide a replay.

We are aware that the economical settings of CVs need work, it is something we will hopefully be able to address soon.

If you come to the forum to try and create outrage by simply lying about your in game behaviour, you should expect nothing less. This thread wasn't constructive from the start, so lets close it down. closed

There should be an improvement for the responsiveness coming in 0.8.1, please let me know how it is after the update!

We are already working on a change that should stop planes always dying after executing their attack, you can read up on it here:

You cannot look at an individual player's stats when looking at a ship's performance. Overall Midway was significantly outdamaging Hakuryu.

The way it works is that the damage of all auras in range is added up and this number is then reduced according to the amount of ships participating in the AA action.

The more the merrier! "Luckily" I have a throat infection, so the amount of talking I can do is limited - so @Crysantos will have to do it

I am certainly not doing that, I am just trying to provide some background as to why we implemented the recent set of changes, most of which were btw directly based on community feedback. And I am certainly listening, have read every post in this thread and will be forwarding your feedback to our dev team. Its just that I don't have the luxury of being able to come here and join the discussion with my personal opinion in the way that you do. I could tell you what I think, but as this is not necessarily the same as what our devs are thinking it would probably be misleading. Come join me on Twitch at 18:00 today and we can talk about it some more while playing surface ships ;)

This is very valid feedback, I'll pass it on! This nerf should bring the Midway in line with the Hakuryu in regards to its damage potential, which was significantly higher due to the number of torpedoes in a drop. We will continue to monitor the statistics and impact of these changes on the live server and make more changes where needed. Destroyers were having a rough time following the rework and while they will still be in danger from CVs, it will be harder for the CVs to apply damage to them as consistently and provide some actual counterplay for destroyers. We will try to follow up with some more details on our vision for CVs and their role in the battle next week. Before the hotfix I could easily start my attack run just as a DD was spotted and was able to damage him severely with rockets. Now you need to start your attack run earlier and commit to an attack vector earlier to get maximum accuracy. This gives a destroyer a chance to dodge and means it is less easy for a CV to damage him.

Wir wollen nunmal ein faires Spiel mit moeglichst viel Balance haben, das bedeuted dass wir buffen und nerfen muessen. Dass dies bei gekauften Schiffen kompliziert ist wissen wir natuerlich. Ich verabschiede mich hier jetzt aus dem Thread, ich glaube wir haben das Thema zu genuege diskutiert. Wir koennen das Ganze wieder aufgreifen wenn wir eine Entscheidung getroffen haben. Jetzt erstmal testen!

Da muessten wir dann aber alle anderen Schiffe aendern, denn die GC ist auf der Stufe schlichtweg das beste Schiff. Das haben wir beruecksichtigt und selbst mit anderen 6er und 7er BBs verglichern ist die GC unter den besten der ganzen Schiffe. Wir vergleichen zu Balancing Zwecken immer die Performance der Spieler relativ zu ihrer Leistung auf vergleichbaren Schiffen. Deswegen haben wir auch noch keine Aenderungen an der Stalingrad (als Beispiel) vorgenommen. Die Statistiken sehen dort viel zu stark aus, wenn man sich dann aber die Spieler ansieht, sieht man dass diese Spieler auch in anderen Schiffen aehnliche Ergebnisse bekommen. Nun ist die GC aber wesentlich staerker als beide dieser Schiffe, es ist auf ihr also einfacher moeglich noch besser zu sein. Und genau deswegen wollen wir das Schiff auf Stufe 6 testen, damit wir es nicht so nerfen muessen, dass es keinen Spass mehr macht. Ob und wie wir Premiumschiffe aendern steht noch nicht fest, dabei solltest du aber bedenken dass wir andersrum auch gerne Premiumschiffe verbessern wenn sie nicht stark genug sind.

Captains, Please leave any feedback on the Lunar New Year content and offers here.

We don't like talking about specifics of how these things work as we don't want them to be open to abuse. But we are working on making the system more robust and eliminate the chance for false bans. OP's ban was triggered by just this system.
