  1. Yes there is - TK mod, it turns you pink
  2. 1. I am a little disappointed you think you little of this community and that they know less than, say you for instance when it comes to knowing the difference between a modification and a 'cheat'. 2. You know exactly what I meant. If you had evidential proof I know as a law abiding citizen you would have proclaimed here that you have submitted such evidence to the company, I thought not. 3. This is not a fully fledged AAA game at the moment, it is still in development but show me any of those games that are released that do not need patching soon afterwards? Well, shall I point out that you can play this game for free? Indeed you can, you are in no way expected to pay for anything that is the choice of the individual so your point is invalid. Those points aside I am also disappointed you are extremely vociferous in the 'support of cheats' as any reasonable person would never actively advertise where to obtain such material but would seek official support and giving the the relevant information. The threat is real? No, you are the threat by inducing undue concern so I would suggest that you and your cohorts along with any substantiated proof gets sent to support to ensure it gets dealt with.

    cleveland howitzers

    Not too sure how experienced your captain is but I had mine up to Level 4 Advanced Firing Training that added an extra 20% to its range! When firing at its then 17.4km max you could get a third salvo off before the first had hit its target! By then the shells had moondust on them not snow.......

    I need a lot more than just 3 reports per day.

    Stop playing PvE. Sorry for that but really there are more connection problems happening day by day. I have been in many battles where I have joined a long time after others joining, and for those that games crash they cannot get back into the game so it would be wrong to report an AFK player without proof of a reason for absence.

    Pls buff income on Atago.

    Average with the Murmansk has been around the 200k due to its damage dealing ability but every now and then you get reasonably good battles with her; As for the Gremmy, and I am certainly not a very good DD player even she can reap you good rewards; This probably highlights the OP's concern, why, (with these relatively cheap in comparison ships) do they do exponentially better pound for pound than the Atago?

  7. Hello Elgerino, I am impressed with your structured posts so far but your last statement leaves me confused, in as much do you have proof they are coming or is it just pure speculation? Would you not agree that past experience (we will call on WoT for this example) will lead to more concerted efforts by the game developers to keep the game 'cheat' free? All I can add to that is I hope so. In my job I have to rely on 'what is' and 'what is not' and not the speculation that lies in between. In this games case I want to be more hopeful that we as honest game players (and investors) will be protected.
  8. Hello, A1. I am unsure as to what you mean exactly, are you implying this community is ignorant? Or they have been described as a pack of rabid dogs, by whom exactly? A2. To make a statement like that needs evidence, good solid evidence. Where is it please? A3. You say 'we all know' but if you had any idea how a business runs that intends to make a lot of money it is not the 'quick and easy profit' direction you (not we) think WG are making. Anyone reasonably level headed knows long term strategy reaps the larger profit and that includes a lot of reinvesting. In future take time before posting as you really need information that is evidentially correct and not just wild personal opinion.

    Turret dispersal

    Hello saidor, Going from ships with smaller calibre weapons to larger ships with larger calibre weapons is an eye-opener for those that have not experienced shell dispersion. Below is a link to the wiki regarding shell dispersion; Shell dispersion. It explains what affects the dispersion of shell dispersion from (supposedly) aligned barrels but you can also add the affects from the sea (pitch and yaw) and engine vibration that can and did affect dispersion. 1. A gun showed random dispersion, measured in mils, thousandths of a radian (in effect, thousandths of range). Dispersion is due partly to the way that the gun flexes as it fires, an effect sometimes called 'jump'. Vibration at the muzzle (probably a particular factor in a wire-wound weapon) imparts a sideways kick. Shells rarely emerge quite centred from the gun, because they do not fit tightly in the barrel. A shell was sealed in the barrel by a driving ring near its base (using the ring rather than the whole of the shell reduced friction losses in the barrel). Thus the spin, which is intended to stabilise the shell and to keep it from popping upright once it emerges from the barrel under the effects of pressure and gravity, has complex effects. The shell behaves like a slightly off-centre top once it leaves the barrel, wobbling (precessing) a few degrees (generally less than ten degrees). Moving slightly sideways, it presents a larger area to the air slowing it down. To make matters more complicated, the yaw angle itself increases and decreases as the shell flies. If the shell is spinning at the correct rate for its onward speed, the wobbling dies down completely, just as a top eventually 'goes to sleep' or stops wobbling. If not, the wobbling may increase. The shell is slowing down as it flies. At some point it may be over-spinning, hence yawing quite noticeably. That may happen at the peak of its trajectory, in which case yaw may cause much increased air resistance. In addition to its other effects, the spin on the shell generates a sideways aerodynamic force that causes it to drift to one side. A fire-control system calculating deflection had to compensate for the drift rate over the expected time of flight of the shell. Given yaw and drift, two shells fired at about the same moment by two adjacent guns could collide in mid-air; they were said to 'kiss'. That was aside from interference between the shock waves of adjacent guns, which was a particular problem in triple and quadruple turrets. 1. Exert courtesy of Norman Friedman (from Naval Firepower)

    Revert Damage back to Teamkillers

    Because there are those that are hell bent on destroying other players enjoyment by team killing. Would you be happy with a team mate sink you purposely? I think not and that is why it is here to protect those that deserve to be protected from team killing.

    Crashing more and more

    These are strange issues as there are those like myself and mtm that do not have an issue. I think what would help here is to see where the game is installed, a shot in the dark but due to players with issues having no problems previously it would be good to gather statistics to see if there is any correlation between these issues.

    OMG its the kill all teams

    But is that not the fault of the enemy team in not part defending their cap? Ok, not a great deal of XP but worth it because of the lack of battle sense by the enemy.

    Minekaze needs to go from tier V

    Firstly a little well done for the battle you had with the Minekaze but you will find that when you have to face tier 7/8 in her rather than tier 3 it will get exponentially more difficult! Regarding the replay site, not as yet but I am sure once release has been attained (when the game has been made a little more balanced) there will be place for a replay site. Regarding replays, you have to take into consideration that replays do not work after updates so if you have a replay in your folder that you want to keep ensure you record it (with Fraps for example) before updating your client.

    Crashing more and more

    @OP - I only upgraded to Windows 10 3 days ago and my system is much more stable with the OBT client than it was with Windows 7. The only difference from your set up is that I have an Nvidia GPU. Follow mtm's advice in submitting details as described first. WoWs is trying to write to memory already reserved by another application (Windows for example), so by blocking access creates this message when the rogue program (WoWs in this case) tries to write to the portion of memory ending with a crash. You say running the game, at what time (whilst in battle, in port?) does it crash?
  16. @Ergeo - again, I answered you twice now and you choose to ignore my correct answers. No, I gave you a straightforward accurate answer. If you choose to not accept it, fair enough but please do not continue to re-question a very simple response.
  17. Please search. It is a warning that Training Rooms are not available (even if you have not got them activated). Um, no. (read above)

    Far too many draws and countless minutes wasted!

    Draws are down to the players, period. The game is to be played, and if teams are reticent to go for a win, unless they have domination by annihilation, the battle will end in a draw. @ammattimes - mtm78 responded to some one else's post, your post was confrontational in response. He, like you are free to post as long as you stick by the very well known forum rules.
  19. @Ergeo - Really why ask twice? I gave you the answer originally (admittedly I left poor old dive bombers off). With 113 battles in CV's you really ought to have realised by now as it is not rare for your attackers to shoot down the odd enemy aircraft.

    New cheat or heavy cheat-like glitch

    It is not a cheat. Please understand the server is sending you back information as to where that ship is, your client has to render that ship and if there is graphical latency it may or may not render it. It happens to a lot of us, me included but as you say, a 'glitch' not a cheat. I would change the thread title if I were you to something that asks the question regarding a graphical bug rather than the knee jerk reaction of a cheat.

    Dubloon issue

    Again, raise a ticket, they may be sympathetic as you are intending to spend with them none the less.

    Too many draws

    You sir will do well to read the next post below. The problem is players post when they are angry and not trying to understand as to why their particular draws arose. Some of my draws I have been most grateful for as otherwise it would have been a loss, please tell my why a draw is equal to a loss? Thanks Sam for being so eloquent with your reply, I could not have answered any better.

    Love the EU Forums

    Well, I guess we should be thankful you missed the last round of troll threads, but then again we have just had a couple more started proclaiming the world is to end and the Mk.1 eyeball has a competitor.........
