    Segal's departing

    Maybe, but my bet is it has something to do with this: http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/la-et-entertainment-news-updates-steven-seagal-faces-sexual-harassment-1507911980-htmlstory.html On another note, I hope they give people the ability to earn John Doe. I think its a little unfair to have a captain that gives a competitive advantage only available for a very short time. I don't mind cosmetic things being limited availability, but having the 1 second ammo swap of Segal on my Des Moines would be a nice thing.
  2. Flamu made a good video a while ago that I find helpful when trying to decide if IFHE is worth it or not for a particular ship. I recommend watching this just to learn the mechanics: https://youtu.be/szbpDXAzUJI
  3. If I had the ability I would design a mod that alerts me when a forum memeber is in the battle. As it is now, I'm sure I often overlook them.

    Suggestions thread

    I was just about to post a suggestion and thought "no way I'm reading through 26 pages to see if this has been suggested before". But something made me decide to read the first post on the page and it covers what I was going to suggest (separate the visual component of the camo from the bonus). I guess I'm not as special and creative as I thought :( :cry:

    New bonus codes

    Thanks guys- I'm at work and was able to input all the codes. But I noticed it lets you put in the same code more than once without an error. Does that mean the quests are repeatable? Cant test atm.
  6. Well I think I'm a bit of an outlier for this thread. I think releasing this DD in this form could be a good thing for the game. Yes Flamu was wrecking randoms with it, but that's partially because those randoms probably had no idea what this ship was capable of. If it goes live, those enemy DD's, CA's, and CV's will know how dangerous this ship is to their BB's and will make hunting it down a priority; especailly when they realize that it can't hunt back with its peashooters or torps. In the meantime the counter for the BB is simply to alter course and speed on a regular basis, and at times hide behind land. It's really not asking anymore than the counter for weak AA ships against CV's (stick with other ships that have good AA), or the counter for CA's against BB's (hide like a rabbit behind islands). It will introduce risk for the BB's camping in the back, while giving the rest of the team an incentive to push forward and focus fire this threat. I think that's a positive change.
  7. I'm a bit surprised that there is not a thread on this already (or maybe there is, and like a stealthed Shimmy, I just didn't see it?), But I for one am glad they started the second season of Clan Wars already. If you didn't try it last season, I strongly encourage you to give it a try this season. It's a really fun way to play the game. Coordinating and strategizing with your team against another team doing the same, makes for a really enjoyable experience. And while I can sympathize with the angry BB and CV captains who feel "left out", its nice to playe with with the current format imho. Last season my team got a late start, so the caliber of teams we played was much more consistant than what we saw last night. While most of the games I felt we were pretty evenly matched, there were a few where I felt like we were seal clubbing, and a few where it felt like we were the seals. I also enjoyed the challenges of the new maps. Overall I thought it was a great start.

    Mosaic and Spring Tie camo's

    Owww, my eyes!

    Clan Wars and Missions

    I 100% agree. Instead of CW taking up your WoWS time, it has to be a suppliment to the time you normally spend, since you need to complete the active missions/campaigns seperately. But, I suspect that CW's not counting for missions is more of an oversight by WG than the result of some carefully considered strategy. For example on the missions where you can complete them in co-op, ranked, or random, what point is there to not letting them be completed in CB? (Especially since they often have the Ranked option even when the mission is only available outside a Ranked season.) It would be great if they updated this.

    Clan wars, thank you Wargaming

    I also thought the CW's were a blast. I learned a lot and feel like a much less incompetent player now :)

    New Ranked Season too early?

    is long enough it's a good move to start it right away. Good god the new forums are not friendly to my old ipad... sorry for the quadrupple quote. But, I wanted to say that I agree with this, so I guess I'll leave them in for emphasis. We need a longer season to account for all the people (like me :). That will be afk due to the holidays.
  12. I was near a friendly full HP Montana and tried to shoot over him, I thought my rounds would clear, and most did (because I hit my target). But at least one hit the Montana, and with Murphy's law started a fire. I immediately apologized and held fire until I was clear. He didn't repair the fire because, well why would he use repair on a single fire when he's at full hp? So the fire continued to tick away... then I get the notification that I have been given a disciplinary penalty for damaging a teammate. :( But then the interesting part: the fire keeps ticking, and I receive a ton more damage than he does from it. I was at 75% hp and that one fire kills me. At the end it did 18.4K damage to him and 48.9K damage to me. I also got a 17 game turn at being pink. (Time to play CV .... love having the pink planes flying around). This seems like a screwed up mechanic to me -- imho they should not let dots, that were applied before the penalty is given, do damage to you. There was no way for me to "stop damaging" him, so it not like that damage could act as a deterrent. I don't mind the pink penalty, but I do mind losing 75% of my HP because one shell hit a friendly team member on accident. Ohh well, not really meaning for this to be a complaint thread, it just surprised me as I didn't know this mechanic could happen. If there is a "next time", I'll ask him to repair please before I die.
  13. I hope you don't do that when they accidentally hit you with one shot and then immediately apologize, accidents do happen. In this case I had also been providing AA support for the BB I accidentally hit, he would have nothing to gain by watching me die because then he would be alone on that flank near the Midway.
  14. lol probably would have worked... I actually didn't realize it was eating my hp so quickly until it was too late to say anything. I wasn't under fire so had no reason to think I was taking damage.
  15. I think this is my 4th time ever... maybe 5th. 2 of those were intentional though.
  16. Sorry if this has been asked before, I scrolled through the last four pages and didn't see a topic on it: Is there a way to see detailed stats from Clan Battles played? I've checked the usual suspects (WG site, wows numbers, warships.today, wowstats.org) but don't see anywhere where you can see your performance from the Clan Battles you've played. As a secondary question, is there a way to see people's potential damage averages on any of the websites? I'm not finding that either. Thanks!

    Detailed Stats for Clan Battles

    Thanks :) I wish it would show more detail though, it really only shows number of battles and win rate.

    French T10 Battleship finally revealed :)

    Add another turret to the rear and let her be the first TX BB that stern tanks... or kites like a Roon. That would make her a bit different and give her the same firepower without showing broadside. If you want to use the front turrets too, your get 50% more firepower but at the risk of having to expose broadside. She does look nice though.

    AP bombs logic?

    Can you imagine being one of the sailors on that ship, down below when you're hit by an AP bomb that penetrates the top deck but then just lies down there rolling around.... on the one hand you're thankful at your luck it didnt go off, on the other hand you're wondering if it might go off right now!! Run!!

    DD limitation from T8 up to T10

    I think its just bad right now because of the suite of missions for the Pan Asian DD introduction. 5-6 DD's per side was not very frequent before. Just que in a dd hunter CA and it can be a blast :)
  21. Hawg

    Can we please stop the T10 spam?

    If you want to be in matches where T8 is top tier, all you have to do is que in a T6. Works for me every time. ;)

    Indianapolis - still at Sea...

    I played my Indianapolis the other day for the first time in ages and had a blast. Its a much more fun ship than I remembered. As for @Jethro_Grey's comments, I agree they should make the flag obtainable to previous purchasers. Either just give it to us, make us do some exclusive missions for it, or let us buy it with dubloons or something.
  23. Yeah my original suggestion for the mod was really just a joke. The follow-up posts were to show that the information may in fact be available for mods to use, I don;t know. You may be able to tell if they have torpedo acceleration since mods seems to be able to detect other ship module, camo, and captain changes, I don't know. I do find knowing the max torp range for an enemy to be helpful, lets me know I need to be much more careful if I'm in that range. Knowing how much reaction time you might have once you spot their torps might also be helpful ... knowing for example, "ok I can wait the 2 more seconds to shoot this next volley", or "crap I have to change course immediately".
