    When WG try to be clever...

    Well, I can understand the frustration now I have seen the evidence. When we were testing it it was promoted as being for the lower tiers so someone has decided to expand the tier range.......

    WG, please stop these fail divisions

    Reasonably good mirrored MM, blame your team mates for not giving you support, that's the fail.......
  3. My stats were very poor at the beginning, not because of my own effort but because of the run of 'luck'. From a meagre 40% I soon got it to just over 50% as the battles piled up. Just hope the OP starts studying! Naskoni, Elgerino was commenting about the OP's post, you came here to personally attack him. I suggest taking your spat with him out to the playground where it belongs as you are offering absolutely nothing to this thread.

    My team won a game in a less than 2 minutes

    Another team member did note the tk's in the chat, to be fair, if you do not have team panels enabled and do not hit Tab to check team status you would not have realised entirely what was happening as it happened so quickly.

    Invisible torpedoes and other

    No disrespect but would need to see a replay to verify this. TB's can drop quite close to islands and can surprise even the most aware. Do you have a replay?

    When WG try to be clever...

    I would be interested to see how a T7 BB got onto Solomon Islands as it is a map for the lower tiers. Kongo possibly, but would need to see the battle team list for the Nagato to see how on earth that got onto Solomon Islands?

    My team won a game in a less than 2 minutes

    Ok, just watched the replay, yes as Userext says, the OP was in a FurryTaco and the battle was over in just under 3 minutes. Reason. Enemy had a division of 2 Clemsons that between them TK'ed 5 of their own team (focusing on their own BB's) which brought the counter down so quickly.

    VERY annoying beach on hot spot map

    @rafparis - Please post this in the Open Beta Test Bug Report forum. We do test these maps for hours but still there may be 'issues' left not found after test completion so having all you 'testers' out there it is important to report anything untoward. Ducat

    pink player

    Submit a replay as deliberate TK'ing as you describe will be dealt with. Do you have a replay?

    Please do something about the Bogue

    @OP - Well the Bogue is your best performing ship over tier 3 so you must be doing something right.

    Got 24hrs free premium, anyone know why?

    Shouldn't be, the OP is on more battles than I am! To the OP accept it as a bonus then!
  12. I play her only in PvE now just for the fun! Those secondaries are just fun to watch!

    Player stats wipe post launch

    @Userext and Last_Rites, can you please carry your fight out onto the playground, you are not adding to the discussion with you personal spat with each other.

    I for one don't like the streamlined MM

    I empathise as content makes the game fresher, also a big agreement with you and that is those damned spawn points on Hot Spot, 9 times out of 10 destroys divisions splitting them up making them pointless. Anyway, moan aside, full release now in under 2 weeks, maybe they will smile upon us and give us some new content? There is a Santa Claus isn't there?

    Myoko - turrets cease working

    In battle on North and although I had sustained a lot of damage I had not lost any turrets. It was when I made a turn I noticed all 3 forward turrets were locked in the same position but unable to fire. python.rar 268.8K DxDiag.txt 68.69K

    Tier 7-9 Cruisers complete waste researching.

    This plus 1. Go forth and have fun

    Is the St Louis really OP?

    She is a wonderful ship without a doubt but because of her reputation as being OP many a newcomer has sailed her thinking that they are invincible, yes, they were wrong. In fact the St.Louis is better now than she was when first released, as then, she had a much larger turning circle and slow rudder shift so was very susceptible to torpedo hits. Those 2 attributes were buffed meaning it is so much harder to get accurate torpedo strikes on her (with a relatively alert captain sailing her!). Trick is maintaining a steady flow of hits, I never go full salvo (unless it is to take out a low HP enemy in one hit) but fire one turret at a time so when the last gun has fired the first has reloaded. Doing this means it is easy to change range and direction of fire whilst maintaining regular hits on an enemy. She is fun without a doubt, enjoy.

    FOR THE LOVE OF GOD ! Wargaming

    You only have to ask my division buddies as to what I think of this lag! It has ruined more games of late than I care to mention but worst thing it is so totally random (more so when the server is loaded).
  20. But then the OP will not know any difference (not having reached higher tiers yet) and play his CV's the way he needs to.

    Furutaka 4.1

    Well, after only 8 battles (2 wins, 0 survived) you may find your brief joy from 1 battle will be short lived. You may well have caused some reasonable damage in one battle but you have obviously received a lot to yourself (397k damage given, 240k damage taken). Play another 20 battles and come back and report then, one hint, stop revealing your broadside to other ships, you may find you do not take as many critical's.

    Is MM going to mess with good players AGAIN?!?

    I was with fellow captains yesterday and the overwhelming agreement is that it gets worse at weekends when the kids are off school, there sorted.......
  23. Well, implementing the sound is different from testing it! I hate it, instead of this I would gladly just have the sound of metal being tortured and not my ears.

    Tirpitz on sale tomorrow Sat29th

    Hindsight and theoretical rubbish. You may as well added what if the RN had put the Hood in for a total refit in the mid war years and a hell of a lot more. 'What if's' do not cut it as imagination always fills in the information you want to see.

    Fail div and its impact if CV

    Patch Notes. Matchmaker Implemented a “mirror balance” for aircraft carriers in terms of their number and tier in almost all cases (except for extremely rare occasions when the waiting time in queue is longer than the maximum time allowed).Implemented interruption of a series of battles that a player takes part in where the player’s ship tier is lower that the level of the battleThe matchmaker now distributes destroyers more evenly between opposite teams, when a battle is created. With these patch notes in mind all is well.
