I'm a little late to this party, but I must confess I'm surprised as this captain skill rework must have first gone through and passed the same thorough and rigorous testing procedure as any other previous (or upcoming) change made by WeeGee. I truly am quite surprised to hear this bit of news.

Well, I must have liked the extra challenge.

I always played the t6 there, imagine the embarrasement had I played t8 and managed to help the enemy win the battle... Variety + Ocean... and some more Ocean, I agree heartfully.

Does anyone still remember 'Asymmetrical Battles'? I kinda liked those, also the maps were a welcome change.

You may have noticed, that depending on what class you have and your play style, the game is more fun to play with a slightly 'stupid' MM. My best game yesterday (playing Musashi) had such an MM; we did have CV's (fortunately), but oddly only 1 DD per team and about equal numbers of BB's and cruisers. My tally was 1 cruiser, 3 BB's and 1 CV (getting to sink that was why I said 'fortunately'). Me actually getting to contribute was the odd thing, which felt fun. I brought up the unusual MM, but the real explanation for the fun part is that battle was dynamically paced and IMO our team won because we were able to thwart the enemy push, reverse the direction of the battle and outflank the remaining enemy. Was this due to not having so many DD's? If the DD's are the cause of the camping playstyle why don't we have sufficient options for counteplay under normal conditions (MM)?

Cleverly disguised as one of the hamsters, no doubt.

Damn.. I missread that and ended up with 'Disappearing islands'... I didn't rage quit WoT myself, but I more or less got 'wheeled out' of there if you catch my drift.. At times I get ****ed at WoWS a lot, and I'm 'monitoring my spending', as it were. The mechanics are dodgy, the maps are too small and complete crap for the most part, we still aren't having enough operations and enough content spread across the tiers... Well, these are mostly old complaints, I guess, but I tend to remember old stuff better than newer things.

Do we really have such a large player base to sustain all these game modes? Random, coop, clan, (upcoming) brawl, ranked and operations too?

I think I've only trained the skills on one of my captains, actually waiting for a certain angry youtuber to provide some input first before recklessly committing to anything. On the other hand, since the cruisers typically get deleted very fast anyway, I might just as well keep using 0 point captains...

But I like big teams... and big maps, and big ships...

For a while, I've been sort of thinking I occasionally get kicked out of the queue, particularly if I've alt tabbed out at the time. However, yesterday it happened while I was looking at the queue screen, got kicked right back to port.

Sorry to say, I haven't noticed anything major this evening.

1. That is counter-intuitive IMHO, at least as far as I'm concerned because that would place the BB's unnecessarily at risk. 2. Agreed, however, then we would need some other way of simulating 'battle outcomes' other than 'sink all ships'.

Damn, sheet.

I love awards!

Hmm... for me it says I got it for destroying at least 5 transports... different achievement with the same name? Also, the shark looks an awful lot like a fox to me...

Something tells me I'm not going to top this today (or soon thereafter).

If I just wanted to play ranked as a diversion (for some extra goodies), it might work. Unfortunately, I wanted to collect the (cosmetic) commemorative flags because they were historical, or at least quasi-historical and I like historical authenticity and immersion (a department which this game is lacking a bit in).

Sure, welcome to the Brave New World (of Warships)! The new system is wonderful, no longer can you expect to work your way through the ranks as previously, now your ladder is safely positioned in quicksand while WeeGee unceremoniously kicks the ladder from under you every few days or so. Don't let my cynical sarcasm stop you from enjoying the new format, some people have learned to adapt to it, I chose to give up.

I don't actually even need an AA build for that problem to present itself...

Nothing seems to boost my AA... waste of points, every single time.

Perhaps the occasional lightning might strike those planes... da?

Upgradable toilet brushes? Custom printed bog paper? Seriously, though, this game is bursting with missed opportunities across board....

There is no reaction available I could add to your post....
