Archeron, main account banned yet again?

Thanks for the info. What would be very handy was if you have a replay of that battle and attach it to a reply (zip it up first) so I could play it. If it plays ok with my rig we can at least determine it is local or if it displays as you saw it will help in pointing towards it being server side. [edit] Just played a battle and for the first time witnessed the lack of funnel smoke, but only in scope view. When near the smoke is visible so some rendering issues here then[/edit]

You are worrying about RoF whilst sailing the Hats? I am no DD captain but got to tier 7 in the IJN line much more easily than I did with the USN line because of stealth. You want RoF? Sail either USN or RUS lines. Only got the Mahan just before the update and sailed her again 3 times last night, I can tell you that the torps are not much better than area denial weapons due to their low speed and detectability. Nearly all my damage was with guns with only 1 battle giving me 1 torpedo hit, I would expect better with the Hatsuharu! It was a much needed buff which in no way makes the IJN DD's lesser ships.

If you had read the patch notes you would have realised that carriers will now be matched much more equally. I think you are acting a little selfishly expecting to get a battle in a ship that has few adversaries and even less so at that time of the morning.

I have this issue 90% of the time but always from starting the game. Chat server has a message that it is unavailable but we are working on it, play a battle or 2 and it will appear. This has appeared only with this update as it was the same on the PT and whilst I was testing on the ST.

I will assume it is smokestack smoke the OP and the others are remarking on. As this is graphical, it would be good to have your dxdiag reports attached to your posts in order to understand as to why you are not seeing it (also graphical settings from the game). Would be helpful also to know if you are running any mods as well, as you may well know, there is a certain mod once used which is very much game breaking for some players with this current update. Uninstall any mod and try again. I will give my example, I do have a crosshair and damage indicator installed and I can see smoke from the stacks clearly (just played a battle and all is ok).

But are you not missing the point? I know no one who has not completed this very easy mission. I am sure a damage orientated mission will appear so will you be happy then?

Congratulations on raising a dead thread. Go to the Fan Zone forum and keep track of Aslains thread as to when it will be ready.

There lies your problem, you are too focussed on one thing and probably being mauled by another enemy too. Your survival rate is an indication of this, stop rushing and concentrate on dealing damage and running. This is such a non-argument, more like children stamping their feet and throwing a tantrum because something is a little too hard fro them. Am I being a little mean? Hell yes. I completed this yesterday not even noticing that I had done so!

I am still at the Nagato and as yet not competitively played BB's this update. I checked the Amagi's maximum dispersion from pre-update which was 227m and in 0.5.1 it is 214m. What is probably the issue then is RNG having more shells fired at the outer ranges of max dispersion than previously? If this is the case then we can only blame the dreaded RNG (I for one in my infrequent BB games hates RNG managed dispersion as it seems to hold too many shells at max dispersion). But, without seeing the RNG algorithms we can only surmise......

You the players were the testers, remember the Public Test? 'People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones'

Only 2 changes to the Konigsberg; TTR from 21.2 to 30.0s AP DMG from 3000 to 3900 I am fortunate as I can access another server that still has the ships pre-update and there is no change to turret rotation apart from time. I hope that helps.

SORE BOT! hehe, only suffering from some very sore losers at the moment, me thinks too indulgent with the beer on a Friday night.........

Can concur, just managed to get the damage counter to work (by W03L0BED).

Got a crosshair (tic-tac) to work. Something I guess?

It was my view in testing as well. very poorly implemented.

The FurryTaco was my very first tier 5 ship to be researched and played and compared to the Omaha I really did struggle and so much so I hated her. having played a lot more battles since I have changed my opinion somewhat. I was in a division with a friend, who at the time had to grind the Furry and was having reasonable results in her. Ah, so I thought, let me have a go one more time in her, and boy I surprised myself - stonking game with 5 kills, proof that you can fall back in love.

!'m or I am and it is in WoT not on.

Well it appears it is only the main server as I can log onto a test server. Hopefully this can be resolved soon then.

Due to earlier reported issues it appears the servers have been taken down to hopefully cure them.

Many thanks for the up HarrierUK. Just a little info regarding my foray into the event. I participated in 6 battles with the Phantom Fortress and lost them all! I participated in 32 battles in the Salem Witch and lost 20. So, as you can see it was not all dominating by the Halloween ships (on my part anyway!). Bottom line is, it was a fun event, and pointed out by Mr.Conway, a few things could have been done a little better. Many thanks to all who appreciated and competed in those battles.

We (Supertesters) were advised to take screenshots of battle results in order to take down the successful players names (even resorting to battle replays to obtain names if names were illegible in battle results tab.) So, if it was a supertester involved in that battle a screenshot may be available.

Behave! I still have screenshots from all my battles in the Witch/Phantom so if any player from battles that I was participating in, and were on the winning team I can submit a screenshot on your behalf.

Scousers are great, best sense of humour Bottom line for this story, sell your wife..... not your premium ships
