The operations and the low tiers are the only things that keep me playing at all, currently.

Cheers! So it is something dirty after all. WG knows this.

Is that something rude? I'd like to know before I ask mum.

Yeah... a good point but would make for a boring forum, though.

Back then we had things to look forward to, instead of things to look backward to for.

I'd take that in a jiffy. It has, and I'm sure WG has carefully archived every single suggestion. Originally, though, I thought OP was talking about the state of the antique servers WG is running, but both the WW1 game mode and the Classic Server are good suggestions. Ee... pass on the old Pepsicola for me. I'd take the lot, Pepsicola included and the whole enchilada if we went back to the 2015-17 era.

We?

Remind me, which server has been the more active of the two, NA or EU?

Checked this with Starscream, the voice is there, pleasant as ever (make sure you have National+ on in the settings), but the music is replaced with the regular variety. A slight caveat here is that I'm using the 'Old sounds' mod currently, so someone who has no sound mods installed might be needed to confirm that the music is gone.

Mine wouldn't be. Yeah, that would be boring. 'Non-dynamic' gameplay which is a fancy way of saying 'stale'. Funny, just realised, the same actually applies to Austin hidden behind an island.... scrap both ships for me then at least cause I don't feel like going crazy on high tiers... well, actually TBH, I do play cruisers the 'wrong way', but not when there are subs around.

Sorry... but I am getting strong alternate reality vibes from this thread...

And the DD's most absolutely don't have it.

But Stalingrad has beautiful flat arcs while Austin volleys go orbit the moon?

Though, aren't we curious if OP was crazy or boring in the end?

Well, here's some newer topics for warning I mean discussion.

You could make a ticket... do you mean like a bug report? I'm not sure if WG would respond if this is a low priority thing. Also, I wonder if they haven't changed it on purpose. An NA forum thread mentions the same things you said, but they also say that Halland had steam turbines and that should make it sound different. https://forum.worldofwarships.com/topic/249734-did-halland-really-sound-like-it-was-powered-by-a-washing-machine/ BTW I installed a Modstation mod called Old sounds (Ultra) to test it. I don't have a reference sound, but it could be that the sound is more 'washing machine' like with the old sounds, possibly. I don't know if this is where the problem is, but I noticed that the sound rework (there's that word again....) took place around August 2022, so that's likely where sound changes took effect.

Could WG throw Dr. Evil as captain into the bargain? We could really appreciate his submarine jokes in game, I think.

Minimemento?

Just dodge.

I'd like to keep this as a little memento of the many wonderful moments we've got to share with you here on our friendly little forum.

I'm sure you got many friends on the forum who will readily agree with you on that. Give my regards to both of them. Oh, hey guys! Note that, I'm now Number 1!

I don't agree.

Comrades, a new glorious day is upon us!
