    Ah, the daily insult, now I feel better Point 1. No doubt you have read previous threads regarding cheats/hacks? Thought not. For your information those videos are months old, yes they are still up but only to reel in the gullible. Point 2. But you do accuse others are hacking or at least believe they are, and I quote from your first post; "how many hacks are out for this game, because i believe, i have seen a speed hack, AA hack (you wont believe how many tracers were going up in the air, even when no planes around) and last but not least some of the shots and how often they are made shall we say highly suspect." Again, instead of flying off the handle when reading a post that either answers you or advises you try....... ah never mind, I am repeating myself now

    Battleships are a waste of space

    Thank you for making the start of the day a happy one, I love a good laugh. As for a response to BB's being useless, read Kenliero's post below; Beat me to it, took my 'Evaporator' out yesterday and camped the centre of a Zone, just turning around and laying down pain. 114k damage and a win for the team, absolutely rubbish........

    Agonising frustration for this game

    Was going to empathise first but decided to check your profile - no battles. How can you expect us to be serious with you if you hide behind a cloak of secrecy? I ask you, are you just trolling?

    I want too choose please

    Help yourself to the Ishizuchi, Tier IV Japanese battleship, get your cash out. Ah, you said you are not paying for anything! Gee, I just replied to the new Acheron........

    I want too choose please

    You are proving yourself to be quite obnoxious yet again. Reading through this thread, posters have answered your 'question' and yet again you choose to insult rather than reply constructively and politely. As testers (the name probably gives the game away) we test and give feedback on what we test. Suggestions are left to players and from there if enough interest may give the devs reason enough to consider said suggestion.

    Yet again you choose to be vile and offensive when people are trying to be helpful and giving you critique. No hacks here, only Mk.1 eyeballs, use them and you will do better than you currently are. The way you describe accurate players is to cast them as cheats and hackers, I am glad you have not played against me today as no doubt you would have cast me as a cheat. Try being a little more pleasant and accept criticism in the way it is meant.

    Bots

    Come straight out of a tier 5/6 battle, had a fail team of a Cleveland, Kawachi and Hashidate, yes you read correctly. Because of that we had 2 BB's rage quit because of that division, I will leave the result to your imagination........

    WG, fix the damn smoke already!

    Same here, it is definitely bugged.

    matchmaking in game

    Hello, you will always be one of three tiers in battle (unless there are more than enough to create a battle with one or two tiers). But, you will not be the lowest tier all the time, some battles you will be top tier, I am sure you have in your battles with the Cleveland so far? You have the skill so use that to your advantage when playing against higher tier ships, never go alone and play sidekick with a higher tiered ship on your team.

    Russian DD Udaloi

    As already said, turrets were carved out of the finest Zelkova serrata trees due to the lack of metal resources at the time. This explains their being prone to excessive damage and fire. Yup, turrets from tier 5 upwards on the RUS DD line are surely weak.

    Confused?

    I have learnt not to try at weekends when school is out. I am not saying it will be better weekdays but.........

    What Were Your Greatest Gaming Achievements Today ?

    No room for women in my life, only RU DD's!

    Ranked season 2: What ships?

    I am still a noob so at tier 5/6 will take out Gremmy/Oggy and when I am grown up will go for the Tashkent (took out a Yamato with it!). But, it is all about your own game play and depending on how I start will play it as it comes

    Multi-threading issue, cores not used fully.

    Your CPU is now 7 years old and in our IT world is almost prehistoric. Anyway, you are stating a network stat so please try and tell me what correlation it has to do with your old CPU?

    iowa should be tier 7

    The bottom line is to the OP's concern is (as already mentioned) RNG controlling dispersion leading to your shots seemingly to be ineffective. You have had good battles in the Iowa but you have come here to rage after a poor battle? Please take a breath after a bad battle (I have had more than I care to mention!) and either play on or better still have a short break. Posting whilst still aggravated does not help you nor get forum posters to empathise with you. Comparisons between the ships is a moot point, as it is all about the captains that sail them, and them making the best out of that particular ships strong points.
  17. It is a valid question and I believe all ships in tier 8 and above should have the Repair Party II consumable. But, as per the warships on the seas the repair party's should be of a size comparable to the size of the ship. So, a BB would have the biggest percentage wise down to the DD's where it would be the least percentage wise. I have discussed this with friends in chat on many an occasion, where fire has consumed the last HP of your ship, you know in reality (yes I know, this is not reality!) there would have been hoses on those fires. There will be certain ship class captains that would be opposed to this, (and I recall the uproar when the news was released that BB's were going to have this consumable), but it would work well across the classes. For BB's, (and cruisers at tier 9 and 10) the consumable works for 28 seconds (as well as for the Atago), why not have it work for DD's but at a 15 second duration for an example? Food for thought.

    How do bad player enjoy the game ?

    It will always be totally free. There is no time whatsoever you are requested money to progress, it is fully up to you if you want to pay money to boost progress. That is why I like it and as many others do. You put yourself down when you do not need to as you are above average. But yes, it is so much more expensive at higher tiers and that is right as there has to be a point where money needs to be paid out (but not necessarily always) to progress comfortably.

    Critical Error

    Could you post the names of the update files for me? (that is if you have not uninstalled already).
  21. As you are not a regular player, in fact of such limited play (and understanding), points to the fact you are only here to troll. Delete the link to this forum and it will save you a lot of time typing out your posts. There solved the problem for you!

    Critical Error

    I had this issue a couple of patches ago, no matter my efforts (deleting everything in the Update folder) I had the same error. I uninstalled the game and downloaded it from scratch and it was fine. If you do go for this remember if you want to save certain files (Screenshots, replays, preferences.xml) save them in another location and replace once the game has finally installed. [edit] when did you last play the game? Just a thought as there was an error previously where an update was named incorrectly so would not install [/edit]
  23. 1. Invisibility. As a newly converted DD player (well RUS gunboat captain more like!) I would dream of having low detectability distances you mention. Even a Minekaze with a captain rank 5 still has a detectability range of just over 5km so where you get your 2km is beyond me. 2. You are now talking fancifully about illegal mods. Only poor players need to attempt to cheat, good players gain nothing as any aid actually makes you lazy and reliant upon it. But then there are no mods are there? I would put my money on you reacting after yet another poor run of results rather than a conspiracy to stop you performing. I see you are a BB captain (primarily), maybe catch up on a few training videos? But please, do not complain about the mythical, there are no ghosts in the machine.

    I can has skill based game plox? kk thx bai

    Your case would be correct if you were to fire just one shot equally accurately in every battle. As they fire many shots per battle, as long as they remain accurate, they will score more hits per battle than a poor inaccurate BB captain. This leaves the overall skill at the feet of the captain and not the RNG controlled shots.

    This game die earlier as WoWp?

    Sunday evening was just as high. Also noted that Monday was reasonable at 25k+. Now in all fairness the OP was vague and said, and I quote; "Now in night i dont see more then 17- 18k player". I logged off at around 21:00 last night and there was still over 20k so for me that is healthy enough as it would be much later in the evening the further east in Europe you go (+2hrs in Turkey for example)
