Seems to be moving in the direction of making tier X the new starting level...

Examining my port I find I still have no control over which maps I want to play on, nor is there any way to proudly fly a clan banner. I also see the old operations are still not back, and I have no shortage of ships especially I realize I can only play one at a time. Too little something, too much something else, in other words.

I expect tier X gameplay to develop in an interesting direction.

As they sometimes say, things can't get any worse. Then again, on New Year 1917 they said it was going to be a great year... However, you are right that something along those lines is what the community is expecting. Sub_Octavian is indeed responsible for all the decisions, good and bad.. well, I mostly know about the bad calls he made. He said he didn't like what WG did in the question of the Missouri returning to but okay'ed it nonetheless. Which makes me infer that if he only meant well, we are talking about competency issues here, primarily. And WB!

Something's wrong then, because according to Pegi/ESBR info World of Warships is Age 7/Teen respectively... does that make the game illegal in Germany?... https://pegi.info/search-pegi?q=World+of+Warships&op=Search&age[]=&descriptor[]=&publisher=&platform[]=&release_year[]=&page=1&form_build_id=form-MOO1lR1lEBtwITV_UaHUonLgCp4TEYAPs9cyj_h7_yw&form_id=pegi_search_form https://www.esrb.org/ratings/10003193/World+of+Warships/ All Pegi has is this: Interestingly, if you want to know what parents and kids think about the game, respectively.... https://www.commonsensemedia.org/game-reviews/world-of-warships/user-reviews/adult ... and as for the kids themselves... I think you get the picture.

In Belgium they can't (luckily), but they can instead buy a box of Belgian chocolates which will likely give them much better value for their money.

Remember there are the development costs spanning two years these subs need to cover first before they even start to yield profit.

Additionally, there was classic material like this: https://forum.worldofwarships.ru/topic/135458-извинения-за-неправильную-подачу-деталей-о-постройке-корабля-puerto-rico/?do=findComment&comment=5891424 Referenced in translation here:

Named after a very famous traktor!

Almost as if they were Russians....

Ah.... I always get them too late, or not all.

Not disabled, I think, but I fell into one of those other categories he insulted.

He effing cloned himself or something?

I also had the 'You have downloaded something something' message or words to that effect in WGC next to the play button previous to he actual update today. Didn't check if I had any folders until today that might have disappeared. This, however, is the current situation:

Yeah, but what build. OP has the folder, I don't. Could it be PTS related?...

I still have fond memories of him, how he gave my life a purpose with the free ship that was the Puerto Rico.

Rocks are even worse, they are the pits.

I don't smoke.

We know that naval battles do not get fought in a vacuum, so it's not like two fleets meet in the middle of nowhere. It all depends on shipping routes, supply routes, operational orders etc. In a word, it's about logistics and meeting operational/strategic objectives. In this sense, battles are thought in more narrowly defined areas, be it Pacific island chains, Jutland Straight, or the Sea of Japan. However... the Ocean still represents the most realistic gaming experience the arcade mechanics allow for. With a better designed intraclass balance/combat role system, as I've said before, the Ocean would be entirely playable. The islands... as they exist in this game now, and the way players use them are dead wrong.

So did I... 'pelagic' seems to be a handy word... this game needs more pelagic content! It said somewhere that prior to JDS Harukaze, all the JSDF had was American destroyers and the Wikipedia article states this DD is the first build in Japan after WW2... However... I've come across a story that disputes that information, telling us that the 'American destroyers' were in fact built in Japan by Mitsubishi shipyards, nominally as 'USN destroyers' but intended for JSDF, not the US Navy. When built they were registered as USN destroyers but handed over to Japan, as Akizuki and Teruzuki. Apparently this was thanks to Admiral Arleigh Burke and his efforts to rebuild Japanese naval capabilities. He was awarded the Order of the Rising Sun, 1st class. This info comes from a book review: https://japan-forward.com/book-review-friendship-across-the-seas-the-u-s-navy-and-the-japanese-maritime-self-defense-force-by-agawa-naoyuki/

I'm game if you are.

If we are talking about Cold War era, this one might be an interesting addition as well. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JDS_Harukaze

Arcade has it's pros and cons, I feel we are getting more of those cons currently. The gaming experience lacks depth, is how I would put it, as well as expansive gameplay options and immersion. IMHO, this is achievable by scaling the content/balancing/combat roles a few notches closer to simulation style gameplay. Specifically, in terms of intraclass balancing and combat roles if anything. Currently this game has so many issues ongoing which all detract from the 'fun and engaging' gameplay experience I actually was expecting when I signed up. Now I feel more and more I was actually shanghaied into this foundering disaster....

I've got some that are older as well. But the mystery remains, what's this 5185629 ?....
