Gold version was sold on the 'Black Market', can't remember how many were available but the price was about 26k gold. Hype 59 is how they made such a huge bundle with Christmas boxes in 2017. The hype did not return for Christmas 2018 (though the screaming woman did IIRC).

'Ships that are no more'.. the stuff of legends. What am I saying, 'legends' means ships that never were, the 'cream of world's shipbuilding'.

^ This! Confusion! That's the key thing here. Couldn't agree more with the entirety of what you posted! While it may amuse our dear devs at Confusion Institute (Lesta Studios) that players get confused in the heat of battle and end up messing up their consumable usage (those things ain't free, WG....) I for one, don't like it one bit.

That is an explanation. There were times when I got the loading loop on the battle loading screen, but this might have been during those spouts of server related problems so it could have been handled differently then.

It is still possible to lose your Internet connection for 18 mins or more without it being your fault. Could happen any day, any time due to some technical glitch. For instance, with me that happens very rarely, it sometimes happens that my ISP cuts the service for like 30 mins to an hour some time after midnight. Thankfully not very often but it could well happen while i am gaming. @OP Not sure if anyone's said it, but disable all mods and try running a vanilla client for a while.

Funny thing, though. I occasionally crash out of battle but I don't recall seeing any warnings. Does this only happen if you crash during the loading screen or is it because someone is reporting you?

On which team you see them?

I do have a suggestion to bring forward, but i also don't want any warning points.

Guys.. not sure how I would break this to you but.. that's the DD's bridge windows we are looking at...

@FightingFalcon1980 and me were on the same team, we almost won until we realized it was a trap set up by a red side Yoda...

Okay, thanks. I'll have to keep me eyes open for it when I get there. (Unless I'm too scared to look!)

@OP Where did you spot this ghost, btw?

Them Swedes are good ship builders. I once visited one of their ships, the Wasa.

I've been planning to take some of my CV's to coop, good to know they aren't much better!

Not sure about those co-op CV's... I seen battles where our team had a CV and the red team had none.

They did. They completely ruined the Cleveland. By an amazing coincidence, the old Cleveland was my fav pick for the operation too!

It may also have something to do with the fact that usually at that point I was no longer part of the operation....

Oh, right. Now I remember.

Because they were cool, fun and engaging? Cherry Blossom was especially cool because it included game play elements completely missing in randoms. It's been too long, I don't remember seeing any CVs in Cherry Blossom....

^ This! Let's take Cherry Blossom, for instance. What exactly is wrong with it? Why did they remove it in the first place and how much in terms of resources would they need to spread on re-introducing pre-existing content. Don't the corner shops in Minks stock 'Resource spread'? I suggest one of devs runs to the nearest corner shops and buys some!

Short answer: badly. Long answer: It varies a lot. When there is a special reason for finishing them I try to finish both, and resort to desperate measures such as playing coop... otherwise I play without actually paying much attention to them. Usually that means finishing chain 1, sometimes if I play longer and managed to do well (not on most days...) I finish them both. On regular days I mostly play randoms. I would like to play operations more..

Which makes it.. an honorary Polish ship?

We need a Naval Research Center so we can earn Research points so we can properly refit all them old tubs to meet the challenge of the modern times!

Well..I'm so bad at gunnery that even in those Savage battles I had to rely on the torpedo build DD's. I'm so bad that I can't manage even the ones with good guns... while most have actually awful ballistics. I have some kind of a rule of thumb when it comes to leading but I can't actually track those twisting and turning enemy DD's all that well... and at close ranges the lead often goes so wide that I can't fit the aim and the target on the same screen. Ehem... torpedos then. I don't often get to hit DD's or even cruisers, except the warriors of the smoke who make the mistake of thinking that the smoke acts as a force field that stops enemy fire and torpedoes. What I mostly try to do is stealth torp the enemy capital ships and larger cruisers. Sometimes it works, often it doesn't. Half the time I try to keep enemy ships spotted, try some capping and try to help my team.
