    [12.6.0] Aslain's WoWS ModPack Installer

    Not that it helps you but I have it installed via Aslains and it does work for me. Installed mods are; Players panel by atmaxx Minimap with ship names Improved chat Extended Tech Tree Training Room enabler Navigator Do you have any mods installed from another pack? Doing do may overwrite other files preventing Training Room to work for you.

    CV opt out when

    Your arrogance is only matched by your prowess in all classes EXCEPT CV's. Your opening gambit points out the difference in players skill (via their WR), how can that make the class OP?? What we have, are equally skilled players (like yourself) sailing CV's and playing you out of the game not that the ships on their own are OP. Put a good player in a good ship and you will find a winner (or whiner in your case).
  3. Quit with your one liners and try being constructive and offer decent advice, otherwise keep damn quiet. To the OP, if the 'offer' window is dismissed you forfeit the offer.
  4. Edited for correctness....... Have to say, you are attempting to beat SkyFookingBook's record for getting threads closed....... Oh, my reaction to your original thread opener is simply no.

    Is this game really that BB unbalanced?

    Don't forget the little Mikasa at tier 2, ok, a premium but still tier 2

    How Is This Run Of Losses Possible How Does MM Work

    I really do not want to believe there is any 'rigging' going on, but a couple of days ago I checked a lost battle for players statistics. The results did not surprise me but did cause me a little concern. To put you in the picture, it was a tier 7/9 battle and I was in the Leningrad. As the game started to progress one player in a Mogami was in chat relaying good advice and we played well on one flank. But, our team were dissolving faster than a tablet and the only players left at the end of battle, was the Mogami and myself (who had the only 2 enemy kills), a complete rollover by our team. Now for the tinfoil part! I checked our teams statistics and the only players above 50% were the Mogami and myself, the rest of the team were between 43% and 48%.. Still, yet to think of any conspiracy, I checked the enemy teams statistics, one by one I found all to be in excess of 50%. Hmmm...... Only one battle line up I agree, but the outcome was reflected by statistics, I just want to be wrong in my current thought process.........., very wrong.

    updater starts when windows starts?

    In the launcher, go to the settings menu and Updates tab, there is a tickbox to enable automatic updating, untick that. (Do that for all WG games you may have installed).

  10. The Spearman gave a good response regarding the python log (found in - \Games\World_of_Warships\profile ) and the game integrity check done via the game launcher (Settings and then Support tab). One thing you could try and that is to expand your virtual memory (how to here ) but that would be reliant on what disk space you have freely available.

    Which ships to get?

    Skip worrying as most nations and classes have their, let us say 'lemons', in their line up, admittedly some not quite as bitter as others! I will advise nothing as the best way is to match your playstyle to a class then nation and find your way from there. Of course, watch as many videos as you can on all ships, whether it be nation or class and judge from there. Best wishes for your voyages.

    Team Killing and Punishment - How does it work?

    You obviously miss the point, if you can fire a torpedo and an ally can possibly be struck by it, you are in what is called the second line. Not understanding that IMHO, is ridiculous!
  13. The Worcester and Buffalo is old news from over a year ago. For anyone wanting to know what they were/are all about, I will link you to a thread from August last year in the NA forums - here.

    11 defeats of 12 battles

    My biggest gripe is doing badly and being in a winning team then doing well and losing. No logic with results.....

    I can't Log in to the game!

    Sounds like you downloaded the wrong client. There are two ways of getting over this and one would be to download the correct EU client here. The second option would be to edit scripts_config.xml that is located in - :\Games\World_of_Warships\res Delete the contents of the file (after making a back up) and replace with what is in the quote below. If you feel uneasy about doing that download the EU version.

    Listening to own Music

    I think they do understand that, what they are suggesting is to lower the in game ambient sounds whilst keeping the music volume at its highest. The other way would be to normalize your music files (search for 'mp3 volume normalizer') to 'louden' your music so that it stands out from the normal in game sounds. Hope that helps.

    The surprise in 0.5.15 - Training room?

    Ignore Blogis, he is angling for FlyingFeckWits old troll crown! Training Room has a host of positive applications, Clan Wars, training sessions for Clans testing new ships etc..... (even honing your T4 carrier game play?).......

    slow game performance!

    Please can you post your exact specifications of the PC/laptop you are trying to play on, that will help.

    Fires... Another Frustration...

    @fighting_falcon93 You really did yourself no favours complaining about a simple mechanic that is currently the CA's only defence against BB's. More so as CA's are your second most favoured class so you must understand their fragility when facing BB's. Unfortunately you chose to come here to moan after a poor battle (we all have them) instead of 'sucking it up'. From your description, the enemy team played it smarter than your team leaving you as the sacrificial lamb.......
  21. Already a mod, so what challenge is there for the developer? or are our modders more talented?.....
  22. My 2 cents. Having played 4 battles tonight in 'Science of Victory' campaign I am finding it as nothing more than missions dressed up to look pretty. Best see it for your self.......
  23. Strange goings on with the PT, gone down for the second time in as many battles, this time for a little longer.....

    Poor WR

    To improve your win results, firstly you need to improve yourself. Next time in a battle, if you witness a good player on your team observe what they are doing and try to emulate it a bit. Of course you are not guaranteed to be great but it will help you become better. Looking at your cruisers statistics, you were doing quite well upto and including the Omaha and your results were noticeably poorer with the Cleveland and now the Pensacola. Higher tier game play is more demanding, and it will bode you well to watch videos of well known and proven players to gain some valuable knowledge. just do not give up, try and try again and as long as you put the effort into it you will get rewarded.

    Public test error

    Just tried now and there are further updates, try again. Otherwise in Settings, go to the Support tab and try 'Check and repair game integrity'.
