Because all your guns are facing forwards. I had a game yesterday where I pushed into the cap hard and when I met a lot of resistance I managed to reverse away without ever having to stop firing or expose any weak spots on my ship - brilliant!

There'll be a lot of information forthcoming as soon as we near the end of our testing phases. Suffice to say that they have been loads of fun to play so far, if you're into aggressive battleships you'll love them for their speed and pushing power. And yes, they do have a respectable reverse speed ;) Lets not blow poking a little harmless fun at the French out of proportion please. I do after all have @Tanatoy sitting right next to me and if I couldn't poke fun at him any more, it would make work a lot less fun! That being said, lets all remember that the French kicked a lot of butt in their time and be nice to each other!

Maybe before going to complain about a ban on the forums you should consider that there are people in it that can actually look at your chat logs. Just a thought.

The different regions set their own policies in this regard and we decided to take a different approach. I'll gladly forward your feedback, but please don't expect any changes in the near future.

I understand that you're frustrated we won't restore these, but the entire point of our ship restoration policy is to let you recover a ship you accidentally sold. You consciously took a decision to sell a ship in game knowing that once it is sold you have to re-purchase it. There is always a chance that we will implement a similar automatic recovery system like World of Tanks has it, but that takes development time that we would prefer to spend on more interesting features.

There are some good suggestions and ideas in this thread but it is unlikely that we will be introducing any of these ships in the foreseeable future. We still have some pretty major navies to flesh out which will be taking our focus for the time being. That being said, you can be pretty sure that if a ship is historically interesting and fits in the game from a gameplay and balance perspective, you will be seeing it in game at some point!

You have to realize that not all players are going to be great in an online multiplayer game, that's just not possible. You can try to encourage other players to make more sensible decisions in random battles and lead by example - but they are ultimately random battles. If you are looking for more challenging games, go play ranked or sign up to a clan and jump in the next season of clan battles! As for the Duke of York missions - of course they are challenging, they are supposed to be. The reward is a very nice free tier 7 premium and we are not going to give that away just for showing up and playing a game or two ;) Please remember that you do not have to complete these, play for fun or you will get frustrated!

We don't currently balance for the presence of consumables like radar or smoke. But feedback noted, maybe this is something we can think about for future seasons.

Please leave your feedback on the "New Year's Celebration" campaign here.

Nobody was able to rise up to the challenge unfortunately. Yet the bonus code is still burning a hole in my desk and needs a new owner - swing by our stream on Monday (Crysantos & Myself) and we'll come up with a new challenge together! https://www.twitch.tv/events/9kFfbq5SSWK0-9EDH1nVFw

Please leave your feedback on the Santa Legion here.

Sorry for the late response, but as you discovered it was an unrelated reward :) Good feedback, lets see if we can do that next year! :)

No, the New Year Raid finishes on January 18th. The campaign is however quite easy and you can drop into coop for some of the tasks to make it even quicker. :)

Captains, Unfortunately we have not yet been able to send out the rewards for the 0.6.15 public test. You should receive your rewards next week, our apologies for the delay!

Ladies and gentlemen, the rewards are now available at https://worldofwarships.eu/en/userbonus/

The reality is that as much as we want to enable players to play for free, we do have to make money so a credits to doubloon conversion is probably not going to happen. There have however been multiple occasions to earn premium ships for free, two of these during December alone. As I mentioned, our selection criteria could have been better for sure, but I appreciate your point of view. I've passed your post on, we do want to do better and will do so!

While I cannot promise it, I do think that we are going to keep doing our annual "reward the vets" event seeing how popular it is. Let me just come out right now and say that there is no guarantee that we will do this kind of event again and when we will do it. That would also defeat the point. A Wargaming person did read it, thanks for the feedback. I'll make sure to pass on your sentiment in this regard, the last thing we wanted to do with our incentive is turn our loyal players away from the game.

I think he actually was complaining about not getting anything. Sorry to hear that, I would hazard a guess that it might be connected to you actively playing World of Tanks in that time, but as I don't have the criteria I am not sure.

We are working on a full revamp of CVs at the moment, getting the clunky interface fixed is definitely high on the list.

BB over population is always a tricky topic, but CV's are being worked on intensely as we speak! ;)

Just as a separate response, I can understand why many of you feel we don't value you or neglected you, but I think you're being quite shortsighted by looking at it that way. All of us, you, me and Wargaming depend on this game having a large and healthy player base. If we can get players that stopped playing to come back by handing out some incentive we are of course going to do this. These inactive guys will have missed out on a lot of free content from premium ships, to missions, daily rewards and crates that you will have received free of charge for playing the game. Some of the responses make me feel like someone chained you to a chair and forced you to "work" World of Warships. Of course you put in effort to earn these rewards, but if you didn't have fun doing that I am not sure why you did it. If a player who got some free things comes back to the game that's great for everyone and if he doesn't then who cares what kind of ships are on his account.
