Oh, right.. that reminds me. Where is our resident white knight?

Hey, you gave me this wonderful idea! What if.. just what if WG would develop something along the lines of that Pikachu crazyness people got involved with? We could go and enjoy fresh air and keep an eye for any warships peeking out from behind one tree or another.

You need to deploy 3 DD's as sitting ducks. All it takes is some very elementary team pla.... er... actually, nvm.

Just in case, don't forget where the Boss Key is.

Give me an 'H'..

The same as in the new ranked format... don't you just love it when they change over from a user friendly format to a... er... user hostile one?

Yeah, I remember when the operations were the perfect way of grinding mid tiers, especially the cruisers. Now, I guess you'd better just think of them as a welcome variety to do apart from the constant grind the game otherwise is.

Don't forget puddles of mud and funny shaped shoes!

For the love of God, this crowd, quit your bellyaching! I'm sure there is an option to honestly use your (or your mum's if applicable) credit card somewhere.

Opinions vary, especially in different languages. In English, most would say tomorrow is 'this Friday', and 'next Friday' is next week. https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/36419/next-friday-vs-this-friday Imagine setting up a date with a 'Very Special Someone' and you mess things up! As for the news on the website... never spotted it, was thinking was some sekret auction for the inner circle...

Hope you find some common denominator, though, like @Lord0 the bug is present in both full screen and windowed mode. To me, it seems to be either linked to connection problems and/or alt tabbing or something. It might even be something those things have in common that the game client reacts to adversely. Not sure how you could end up with no button assigned for fire, unless you've reassigned the control keys, or there is some bug that has wiped the settings...

Yeah, at some point people must have realised how frigging expensive it is to convert xp to free xp, and the 'sales' must have withered down to a trickle.

But it does not seem to affect the red team overly much....

Could it be that? I play in the windowed mode and it might be causing some kind of a conflict in connection with alt tabbing out of the game and back.

I mean like nothing works, I have no control over the ship, I can only use the mouse to look around, nothing else.

I'm thinking it might be due to some connection bug or something, there are times none of the controls work for me, the only thing IIRC that helps is restarting the client.

If it is a DNS issue (don't know if it is), this might also be worth trying. https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/dns/what-is-1.1.1.1/

Calculating is the word, I think.

Based on my personal observations... most reports come from players who try to cover up for their own abysmal performance and look for a scapegoat.

Well...

Yeah, I have Win 7 on my old wreck of a laptop which I'm not really using any more. Towards the end of its useful life, I switched off all MS updates to Win 7, because there seemed to some indication MS was deliberately slowing it down and impeding the users in order to 'persuade' them to upgrade to a newer OS.

Actually, I just thought up a much better mechanic for punishing those player who hit friendly ships, guns, torps, bombs, ramming, any way imaginable. 1. Switch off team damage as planned. 2. Instead of punishing the player who hits friendly ships, simply fine them and deduct a suitable compensation from their credits and transfer it to the account of the player whose ship was hit. For every single instance of hitting them.

Because... you are a very nice person and don't want to get the other player into trouble...?

I don't care if they they dangle flags in front of me that I can't get (as in the new ranked format) as long as those look like granny's bloomers, but when it comes to historical designs, I care a lot more if I see something I want but know I can't get.

Yes, spotting is a powerful DD tactic because of the dodgy spotting mechanics we have, and can be effectively 'exploited' to increase the odds of your team winning. Well, I said the only way to make sure. If you start to take risks, it's another thing. You'd be surprised how easy it is not to see friendly torps when you are knife fighting with guns. You'd have to correctly estimate your torp speed and direction as opposed to the nearest ship speed, course changes and how big a margin you get. It is surprisingly easy to miscalculate that. The first line is 'fiction' in a sense, with two ships close enough to each other the 'first line' keeps constantly moving and shifting.
