One dumb mother. It takes a captain to make the ship not the ship to make the captain.......

One dumb comment thankfully does not upset a good discussion. P2W does not exist, buying something does not automatically guarantee you success, you need some skill first..... As for the Belfast, I have had some very good games and some very poor games in her so for me that is balanced. She is as squishy as a fresh doughnut so just about any ship can deal serious damage to her, so it does take a degree of skill to dish out damage without being damaged yourself. My 2 cents.

FYI - It is on the WG Modpack so will assume Aslain will add it soon.

Unfortunately, before you had a hissy fit ghostbuster quoted you leaving the evidence of your salt trail. After you free XP'ed after 7 battles in the Donkey? And you were not spectacular in that either? Please, before throwing in a whine to go with your cheese at least be more than mediocre in the line of ships you are whining being critical about.

quoted post removed Without pointing out the obvious, I think you need to change the way you play your game. Reason being I did look up your stats (for a personal reason) but was so shocked at one statistic I had to say something. Out of 1767 battles you have only survived 75 of them, a 4% survival rate. We all berate those that camp but we also need to berate those that 'suicide', you are obviously one of those. Please, watch tutorial videos on how to improve your game then come back and grieve.....

I am afraid you are wrong regarding not having a zero on the teamsheet. The others have explained perfectly well. None are denying the DD got a Kraken but your explanation holds no water.

Yes, but Halloween is so much more important to our NA cousins than to us (read more commercial!). There is a lot of moaning there that they do not have the Belfast yet so no surprise on moaning both sides of the Atlantic!

Personally I would wait until the mod creators have updated to the latest update and upload to the latest full modpack. I can update all zoom mods as well as my own over the weekend if requested.

This above all for me was a must buy as early this year (with a group of ST'ers) went on board this great ship. I recommend doing both!

After crying through to tier 5 I/we need a cloaking mod, a god mode mod and a BFG mod just for the RN cruisers..... why Lesta?????

Ha, so much for being a new player as your opening thread stated! Why not be open and honest? I have an NA account with (currently) a 75% WR but certainly would never say, 'I am a new player' any tips? Back to NA indeed........

Shame we have some posters that want to get on their epeen soapbox about mods in general. If they understood they (mods) are an integral (agreed with and accepted by devs) part of the game and not some god awful blight, it would be easier to debate. As Zathras above (thank god for sense on these forums) I am now out of this as I know the soap box warriors will be up late at night.......

First impressions of the Black Swan (courtesy of an account on the NA server). Carries more HP 6450 against 4500 and punches well above her weight. Mind you slow and sluggish but those guns make up for it. One very quick PvE game (3.5 mins) 38 shell hits including 10 citadels. Weymouth under the grind now...... Have to say the limitations of the low tiers without HE really show up when facing BB's, then it is time to run! Enjoy it tomorrow....

From your limited understanding of previous comments, stupid is as stupid does. At no time have I acted incorrectly, it is you who attacked and verbally abused. Frankly it shows up your limited intellect as you fail to construct a valid argument against any quotes. My forum title and post count means nothing so you mentioning it means you have one large chip on your shoulder. Jump into the sea, you may find a fish big enough to go with that large chip.....

A known issue, contact support (raising a ticket) and they can manually change your name as long as you have enough Doubloons in your account at that time.

Thanks for the insult, consider yourself reported as I merely outlined that in this world there is freedom of choice (democracy I think you call it) and I merely said we all have that choice, some just choose not to do act on that option. You have proven yourself to be no more than a poisonous keyboard warrior with no communication skill whatsoever. Insults and attacks seem to be your forte so why not keep them for the battle as no doubt it will make you far more superior than those using cosmetic modifications.

1. Please ask yourself why these mods exist if everything is already good enough. A. Everything is not good enough (for the devs and game players), as otherwise this game would not get updated and with that improved on a constant basis. 2. These mods weren't created to add another level of difficulty to players, they were created to give players an edge. A. Wrong. These mods give graphical improvements over stock, not to give players an 'edge'. 3. It's rather obvious that a smart person capable of adapting to mods will make use of the angle mod and also the zoom mod to further his performance. A. Again wrong. The 'navigator mod' merely adds some graphical niceties over stock (what you see in the minimap) and as for zoom, that only gives preferable views for the user not to further performance. 4. The zoom mod could easily be used to zoom in on other ships closing in to see when that player takes control over his torpedos and also roughly calculate in which direction he launched them and then take evasive actions. Now if that isn't an edge then I don't know what. A. Half answered above. Any half skilled person using the plain vanilla scope view would see torps launched (from actively visible ships), the only time you would not see them launched would be by ships with long range torps, but then you would not see the ships anyway (unless detected by another ally). No 'edge' there. I have posted in another similar thread and I use this analogy; Comparing a free bus and walking. If you choose to walk and not take the free bus you are not in a position to complain about those that do take the free bus. Remember, if you enjoy walking never complain about the free bus, you had that choice as well..............

I wholly agree but like football for instance, you can show someone how to kick a ball but to do it accurately most of the time takes practice. Some may pick it up early, some late or as we witness some not at all! But, back to your suggestion it would be good to see an 'official' video regarding aiming, leading your aim etc, introduced by Dasha of course!

I always compliment players on either side that warrant it. Had a battle tonight (lost) in which one player on our team demanded that my division get reported (we finished 1-2-3) because he got sunk previously. This is what makes the current system useless as it is open to abuse rather than there to promote thanks and (in some eyes) poor performance. Get rid of Karma ....period.

1. I find this idea of "it doesn't matter because everyone can have it" argument for allowing mods like this utterly stupid. A. Why stupid? It is openly available to anyone with any form of internet connection, as we all have your objection is nullified. 2. If it's a unfair advantage it should be banned. Just because everyone CAN if they wanted to cheat that doesn't for a second mean that everyone Should so the problem goes away. That's not how rules of any kind should work. A. It is an unfair advantage ONLY if users cannot use it and NOT because they choose not to use it. 3. That's just daft on all levels, that's like you getting your house broken into and when you ring the police they say sorry can't help you as you could break into their house as well so it's all fair. A. A very poor analogy, a more fitting analogy would be to comparing a free bus and walking. If you choose to walk and not take the free bus you are not in a position to complain about those that do take the free bus. 4. S(h)ort story is if it's not in the game stock and gives and advantage it's a cheat and should be banned. (This obviously is in context and does not include mods for people with genuine disabilities before anyone starts again. Some common sense needed her). A. It is not a cheat (verb (used without object) - to violate rules or regulations) as it does not violate rules or regulations it is therefore not a cheat, it is an aid (verb (used with object) to provide support for or relief to, help). For anyone's interest, I do not use the navigator (it clutters my screen) and all I use are modified team panels (shows ships health) and minimap with ship names. Both mods I am sure will make it into the 'vanilla' game. As for those that like their soapboxes and complain about what is allowed (read - developer endorsed) and choose not to have them (installed) should really not begrudge those that choose to use them. Remember, if you enjoy walking never complain about the free bus, you had that choice as well..............

Oh dear, the best troll attempt ever! Congratulations on whoever opened a second account, bought 3 Premium ships and wants to parade their prowess after 28 battles @ 67% WR. Hardly difficult for a seasoned player and shame on you for trolling. In a nutshell - you have more money than sense [edit] To save others going to the OP's stats page - Average XP per battle - 2064; Average damage per battle (no CV's!) - 86324 (courtesy of Atago); KDR - 8.75 make your own mind up if this player is 'new' [/edit]

Devs develop most of these and for the rest, they have the Devs blessing otherwise they would not get signed off. In fact over the past year a few have crept into the vanilla client (dynamic crosshair and transparent minimap for example) so why don't you complain about those? I cannot understand why some complain about something that is free for all to use? If you choose not to use any mods in this pack do not chastise anyone that wants to.

I did ok yesterday, does that count? Best read the post quoted below.....

No, this is the 'Navigator' mod. It has the blessing of the developers and for those that are doom-mongers, here is the link on the RU forum (Medvedev (dev) posts in the second post) - Here. As others have said, it gives nothing that the trained eye can't give (good judgement) and frankly is too big and a little intrusive.

You have been around long enough top know the rules regarding naming and shaming........ sigh [edit] searching afterwards leads to a profile with no battles, consider a troll thread by a player who remains (stats) anonymous [/edit]
