Sorry, personally no idea what could be the technical reason for that. Since this is a problem, the best I can suggest is contacting customer support. I don't think there's anything in Aslan's modpack that could be causing it. If you want to try, you could launch the game in safe mode which you can do by selecting safe mode from the Game center (the arrow next to the Play button will access a menu in case you are not aware of it.) You should also try the 'check and repair' option and possibly the 'install additional software' (MS related IIRC) from Game center game settings menu. I don't know if Firewall is a possibility, but I understand that the game ran previously fine for you, and these problems are recent. If you will need to contact customer support, they will probably request the WGCheck report (from Game center). That will about exhaust my stock of tips.

But... isn't this just like Arms Race?...... only more complex. I suggest an alternative to yours. Every island on the map can be sunk. Sinking an island gives your ship a 10% HP bonus.

Uhm. This is why we should have those often discussed Era classifications. Ships of any era would play against ships of the same era. Secondly, the game should have been built around clear combat roles. Following this approach, they could have reasonably balanced the ships in terms of their a) Era and b) Combat role.

That might then point to that old Desync issue that still isn't fixed then, or those fireing bugs people have reported.

Could it be they are covering up the fact they don't know how to balance the game...

Have you noticed any higher pings? In my experience, you start to experience delays upwards from about 150 to 200 range and so. You might have to lead slightly more, but if the target is zig zagging, that won't necessarily help much.

All choices matter. No, wait.. that's about another game not about WoWS....

I know I'm getting a little old when I forget stuff like why did I choose to hide my stats. This factor was a lot more important to me when choosing to hide my profile than my game stats. Everyone could see miles away my gameplay sucks, but they can't see my resources etc. if I choose to hide them.

Me neither.. Thanks!

Some people enjoy it when everything's miserable. At least when it's miserable, it can't get any worse ....

Perhaps it is an illusion? Did you actually notice drifting movement? I haven't noticed anything said that suggests there might actually be currents or movement of water.

Nope.

Then there is the 'I just knew you'd have your stats hidden' ramification.

Seems like it overrides everything.

... so why do I get regularly focused then...

At least one way is to go to your profile via the game website, upper right corner, click your name and choose 'World of Warships'. You get a webpage with the option to set it hidden.

And, of course, WG would never tell a fib.

I use VPN regularly these days. It helps somewhat with issues such as these.

One of the objections raised was the lack of counterplay, and what counterplay options there were seemed to have been 'misattributed' by making the DD's the absolute worst option for ASW and BB's the best which is, at best, about as counterintuitive as you can get. If WG is trying to adjust the balance by making the subs harder to play, to me it seems an indication that they recognize the fact that the subs are OP in the right hands. The biproduct of these changes may well mean that they become harder to play for the average player there. IMO, too, it's an indication of how difficult it is to balance the subs given the game mechanics and meta, and retain any level of meaningful gameplay for them.

Expired, sadly. But thanks.

Hope you don't take it personally. Most of us here do not really have much good to say about the way WG(mz) has chosen to implement the subs in the game. Many would welcome subs if they had meaningful game play and mechanics, and a lot of us understand this isn't something that is possible to achieve in the existing game modes. This game needs new modes, more variety of content (not new premium ships...), which in terms of the subs means convoy modes or submarine duels where they can actually be played like subs instead of being agents of chaos in the surface battle modes.

Those fly specks on almost every map but one. Damn rocks! Shortage of scenario battles, both old and new. Subs. Lack of meaningful tactical play (assuming I could actually manage that myself... ). Poor balancing. My rock is made of styrofoam, my scissors are made of tin, and my paper is the size of a postage stamp.

One more good old saying about submarines and men comes to mind, but I'm afraid our ever hardworking mods might censor it....
