    x3 on first battle until Monday 10th

    This, I have been playing poorly of late and my earnings are not really good enough to buy more rum for my crew..........
  2. Hmm, I logged on to make a screenshot only to discover x3 first win bonus was available. Being old I was wondering where I missed this news and it was buried in the Gamescon news, not handy I thought! Apologies to those that know about it but I was upgrading all yesterday and missed a lot of news, but for those that have as yet not logged on and never knew like me, enjoy. The article and offers available. Ducat

    Orange Triangle with explanation point

    Because Training Rooms are there no matter if you cannot access then the message will still appear, hope that clears that up. PS. There is further information if you do have them enabled, that was what I was trying to get but training rooms are available currently so could not show the extra message.

    Orange Triangle with explanation point

    It does indeed reflect training rooms are unavailable. Just logged on hoping to get a screenshot to show the message but unfortunately (in this case) they are available now!

    Mikasa in premium shop, is it good?

    Now it is on sale I feel I can talk about it. In testing it was absolute fun purely because it was so different at that tier. She is short and squat and has the most amazing secondaries. In a nutshell I will not hesitate in getting her as I know in times of frustration one battle in the Mikasa will make me smile
  7. As already said, 3 days to steer clear but I am sure they will play all tiers for variation sake.

    German Ships to arrive in October

    Well, this will be a very long summer indeed..........

    Plays well with others...

    Someone can correct me butt I am sure somewhere I read if you were 'awarded' enough compliments you would receive a reward (XP, credits or whatever). But as with many things it still may very well be work in progress.

    a courteous suggestion to Mods

    You sir are a buffoon and YOU are wrong, so very very wrong. Confirming that you are one of the most despised people to live on this planet is hardly the most intelligent thing you have done. I am of an age that I have lived a life of many ups but more downs but I do not take umbrage against those that have affected my life negatively. So do not make out you have been the only one hard done by. I do hope Mr. B. B. Vuk esq visits soon......

    Albany Cruiser - UP?

    A Marmite ship, you will love her or hate her. Best tactics for this ship is as a DD hunter as it is very manoeuvrable and as others have said (many months ago!) it can get a little hot in tier 3 battles. I will keep her as it was a gift and I am not short of port slots, thanks WG.

    Disconnect Windows 10 Issue?

    I have a test rig which I have used Win 10 developers review since last year until now with no issues regarding WoWs. Nothing to say something could have got corrupted during the upgrade though? What does your python log say at point of disconnect?

    What's your favourite and most hated map?

    Hated? Hot Spot. What idiot thought it would be a good idea to split a team? It has the layout to be a good map but unfortunately throw a human decision on layout into it and it becomes a poor map to play on. Favourite? Two Brothers. Never a battle where it is a foregone conclusion. Action all the way.

    Stuck, Out of date version?

    Hi dazzn, Best to install the EU client and mod the scripts_config file to play on the NA server (if you still want to that is!)

    Patch 0.4.0.5

    What patches?

    Stuck, Out of date version?

    Normally the message would say that the client is an older version or similar, can you do a screen grab of the message you receive and post it in a reply?

    Enough is enough

    @DarthMurloc - I empathise, as a cruiser captain I was still intrigued by the other classes so started the grind with all DD's and BB's. Now, look at the Myogi as the illness, the Kongo will be the cure, and as much as I am useless with it I can see that anyone that plays BB's must like her. Don't give up yet, keep on going!

    Why does everyone bum the cleveland?

    The Cleveland is a different class of cruiser to the Omaha and you will find that it comes into its own in air defence. When going in a division with a friend in his CV I will sail in the air defence role and whilst you are not gaining a lot of XP, in that way, by aiding a CV in keeping enemy aircraft away you allow it to do a good job for the team. Also, upgrading the captain to level 4 you can add 20% to secondaries and all main armament up to 155mm so with the Clevelands guns at 152mm you get an extra 20% range, very useful. On a personal note I do prefer the Omaha over the Cleveland but only because I have had some awesome battles in it, I may one day equal that in the Cleveland so my preference may change!

    what more can i do? I dont get it.

    @General. Playing in Divisions, whilst no guarantee of a win takes away a lot of frustration as you can converse with your division members during battle (better if you are on TS). having a great game and losing is probably the most frustrating thing so talking about it with someone during and after really does help. Bottom line is, win rate has less to do with how good you are than your overall involvement in that battle, having the win is the cherry!

    Advanced Firing Training on Secondary Armament

    Hello goodman, Yes it increases the Clevelands main batteries by 20% which is quite handy!

    Map border exploiting, when will this stop ?`

    Epic fail OP. 5 out of your 8 players hugging a border. I will assume you lost otherwise you would not have posted this

    suddenly low fps

    Some laptops with both integrated and dedicated graphics switch when unplugging the power supply and switch to the integrated chip. Bro, what is your laptop model and what gfx do you have AMD/Nvidia?
  23. OldGrandad

    HE critrate....

    Very eloquent to say the least. Edited to reflect what you really meant. To the OP, I do agree and I am sure it is something they will look at when making more balancing decisions.

    Wargaming EU shop Flags?

    b101uk has probably summed up the totals very well for all to judge. As for me, it is a logical step as the game already offers flags for achievements so this mirrors everything else in that you can pay to proceed more quickly (if you can make the most of each flag!). For me personally, as much as I am not as accomplished as some for attaining flags, I have quite a few still but I can see the attraction to buy them when wanting to progress past certain ships.

    This game is eating the dirt already..

    I have to say I am quite amused by these players who throw grenades into the room, wait for the response then leave the room. This will happen often by those that think this game offers more than they expect. I expect my next wife to be extremely rich and her father owns a brewery........
