Would you happen to know since when and any link that can confirm this? We have been trying to get some official response and information regarding this, but nothing yet.

@ExcavatusBut not reporting or complimenting each other. A 3 man division reporting one player from allied or enemy team and the reported player will receive -1 or -3? We want to clarify this.

Yes. It was on the video and Tanatoy posted it in dev blog section.

I do that with venezia when i run into such opportunities , like straight sailing dds, and there are many players much better than me who can do it more often. But if you want to give that much credit to venezia player, sure, why not. The moment venezia realized he got spotted, he knew dd was out of island. It was 12 sec between when dd disappeared and venezia got spotted. RPF definitely helps a lot on whereabouts of the enemy ship and marker just adds into it.

WG made it easier to grind up towards tiers and many players reach tier 10 ships easier/quicker than before is a sad but true story. However, this does not give an excuse to such players who grind tier 10s rapidly to accuse others cheating because it is their responsibility to climb up responsibly. If they want to play tier 10 ships but not to know game mechanics, i guess experienced players like venezia in that video will take advantage out of it easily and any possible hack claims from the halland again from the same video will go null.

I'd agree but the video shows a tier 10 dd :)

You are right about hitting the dd by guessing his speed. 1- Enemy dd has 4K hp left which is around only 1/5th of his total hp. 2- He is spotted long enough to get hit. 3- Venezia has RPF running. 4- Halland is sailing straight, 5. Venezia is taking a shot based on his RPF and memorizing the direction of DD heading. He only lands a couple of shells on Halland but they are enough to finish off his 4K hp as it is Venezia shooting, the best dd terminator. So nothing unusual or pro here but rather common.

-Is cheating possible in WoWs by using mods? Imo, anything is possible and i think cheating too, that's why WG bans and banned accounts in the past. Some years ago WG started checking each game i guess. I know from myself and some in-game mates that our screens would go dark for a second right after game starts. I think this was a way of WG checking it. -Can we recognize it during the game? Imo, almost never. One cannot call another player cheater just because they got a lucky shot or praised by RNGesus or because they know where to aim. I can give you some quick examples (out of many throughout the years) that may make you think a player is cheating but in reality he is not; 1- In 2015 i got devstruck in my NC from 20+km in open water 3-4min after the game started. I was confused because i didn't even see who shot me. Similar things happened those years as stealth fire was part of game mechanics. Especially gunboat DDs and cruisers took big advantage out of it. They would burn you to death and you wouldn't be able to see who is shooting. It wasn't a cheat, just game mechanics but if you didn't know the mechanics enough, you'd think enemy ship is a cheater. 2- In a much more recent game like a couple of days ago, my div-mate told me enemy venezia has aimhack 100%. Now my div-mate was a s.unicum who has been in the game since beginning. So, it gave me some doubts. Later in the game i realized (based only on my personal experience) the Venezia did not have any hack as all he did to my GK was 1.5-3K damage with his SAP salvos from 10-12km a couple of times but he was from a good clan and was a good player who knew how to aim as his many other shots were much better. Point is, even most experienced or skilled players can assume enemy player has aimhack while in reality and most probably they don't have any hack. 3. I think this was from 2017. In below map, i was in the green BB. Game started, two minutes later i shot a full salvo to enemy Graf Spee which was around 20km+ away, shown with blue arrow as it was the only cruiser detected from enemy. Seconds later i devstruck a unicum player in leander shown with red arrow. What happened was, although Leander was not spotted, it sailed front of Graf Spee by the time i shot, and as Grap Spee started changing its direction to avoid incoming shells, the unspotted Leander took them instead. The game was 2 minutes for him but because he was a good player, he understood it was totally a lucky hit, not an aimhack as he wasn't even spotted, so he didn't write anything in the chat. Now, if this was a new player, he would have probably steamed and gone toxic in the chat with lots of accusations. One can also claim another player for cheating because sinking a ship in smoke by using plane or blind shooting him cannot happen according their logic. Again it has nothing to do with cheating. If you are ever suspicious of a cheating enemy player, the best thing you can do is to send the replay file of that game to WG. Other than that, it is near impossible to recognize a cheater in WoWs. Also as GraySlayer wrote, it is useless for a good player to use such cheating mods as he doesn't need them, and useless for a bad player as such mods won't make him a better player. Let me know if you have more questions.

Nay.

Thread from 2017.

Except that the hysteria was not about how easily kitakami will torp enemy and do massive amount of damage. It was about so many pink ships will be in coop and waiting time for randoms will be doubled

Ricky is great

This is a good idea but in order to be fair to all, new players should be considered, too. Like Garrus noted earlier, most if not all of these players we mentioned have been playing for 4-5 years already. If there will be a prize, this should be a chance for new growing to be great players, too, imo (which would also encourage other new players to play better and maybe this way, the game quality stops suffering so much).

What you are doing is right, Everyone deserves a better wows, more fun wows and if this is what it takes to draw WG's attention, so be it. Don't back off!

Cool, I just notice now

But what we were talking is different than players in a division complimenting each other, instead, what happens when three players in division A report a random guy, and not each other? Random guy gets -1 or -3 karma from the A division? I wrote idk, McArthur wrote he gets 1 report instead of 3. Hope it is more clear now.

Come on don't cry now, we all know you are one of them great players

I remember what they changed was the players in the same division cannot compliment or report each other. Not that their reports counts as one. Maybe he^^ can clarify this.

Oh yes, definitely. I included some links as sample but there are more great players that can be added. The list will be just longer.

Or to turn its turrets, or to reload

Right. We will need to wait and see how dd air detect. buff turns out but if a cv will want to find the dd it will find it (CV to DD: "I don't know who you are, i don't where you are, but i will find you and i will kill you"). Especially in competitive mode and esp. Somers with total of 6 AA is questionable It can sit in the smoke but then that makes him useless.

Okay but hayate in a cv meta CB or ranked? I'm not sure it would be an optimal choice to get somers, hayate or shima if cv in it. Halland could be sharing the smoke with kita but then again, if it gets spotted it is one-shot for a BB or one-shot for two cruisers, considering it will get spotted by planes anyway since it is a cruiser, or will be radared.
