Nice flag However, i think Wargaming should remove the Pan-American tech tree and move its single premium ship (Nueve de Julio) to the American tech tree and give it an actual Argentinean naval flag (just like in-game soviet ships can have various Russian and Soviet flag designs on them, so should other in-game navies be able to fly different historic flags on their ships). Also make the commander of this premium ship a special Argentinean commander (but in the American tech tree, so that he could command other ships as well). Problem solved

Pan-Euro = Sweden
-
Why not focus on the Italian tech tree and create full DD and BB lines for the Italians?
-
Yes. it would be nice if it was possible to get the bonuses from the camos but didn't have to look at them, as some look very silly...
-
Then WG should simply rename the tech-tree into the SWEDISH tech tree... Btw. in WoT there are Swiss tanks in the German tech tree, so why can't there be Dutch and Polish ships in the Swedish tech tree?
-
Please rename the Pan-European tech-tree into the Swedish tech-tree. A Pan-European tech tree makes no sense when you already have Germany, Italy and France in the game. Just like the Pan-American tech tree with a single US-cruiser or the Commonwealth tech tree basically consisting of Royal Navy ships.

submarines SUBMARINES - discussion, feedback, opinions
Niekolaus replied to WG_Lumberjack's topic in General Discussion
This is all correct. However, the Dreadnought at tier 3 has no AA and it gets into battles with tier 4 Carriers. Not very balanced and there are other examples of ships with no AA coming up against Carriers. I believe it would be better to move the Carriers to tier 6 and introduce the Submarines at tier 4. There are enough American, British and Japanese Carriers even to fill tier 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10. Most of the in-game naval nations will also have no problem in filling tiers 4-10 with Submarines (starting with pre-WW1 models and ending with late-WW2/early Cold War models). There are far fewer Carrier models compared to Submarines models. -
Rename the Pan-European tech tree into the SWEDISH tech tree and move the Błyskawica premium ship to the British tech tree and the SMS Viribus Unitis premium ship to the German tree. Please, please, please... Remove the Pan-American and Commonwealth tech trees. Simply move the single Pan-American premium ship to the US tech tree (it is a Brooklyn class afterall), and all the Commonwealth premium ships to the British tech tree.

Niekolaus replied to WG_Lumberjack's topic in General Discussion
I would like to have the Submarine available from tier 4 instead of the Carriers. The Carriers should be moved to tier 6. Because, it is quite silly to have WW1 ships (tier 3 and 4) without any decent AA (Dreadnought etc.) fight Carrier-planes at tier 3. Hōshō, Langley and HMS Hermes could become special gift vehicles instead, that weren't in the tech trees. The Submarines played a huge role in WW1-battles, whereas the Carriers played no role what so ever (Hosho is from 1922). The Carriers should spring out of the BB-line at tier 6 and the Submarines should spring out of the DD-line at tier 4. -
What about consolidating the ships from the very small factions/nations (Pan-Asia, Pan-America, Poland and the Commonwealth) into ONE single new tech-tree, simply called the "Rest of the World" and flying the UN-flag (or something similar) in port. The commander's nationality (in this new "Rest of the World" tech-tree) would then include all the nations that had ships in the tech-tree, i.e. Polish, Chinese, Korean, Australian, Argentinean, Canadian etc. Btw. The ships from the Commonwealth tech-tree could also simply be included into the British tech-tree, so they would fly the Royal Navy Jack into battle.

Here I go again I really think it is horrible to put a red Nazi-like naval-flag on a WW1 era German ship like the Emden, it devalues the otherwise huge effort that has been made by developers, to make the ship-models appear as historical correct as possible. It would be nice if WG gave players like me an option to hide naval-ensign flags on ship-models in port and in battle-mode. Adding a switch button in the GRAPHIC SETTINGS would not influence the game experience for other players. If activated it would simply remove naval-ensign flags from ship-models in port and in battle-mode. But keeping Signal Flags and Special Event Flags visible to the player, as these influence gameplay. Just like the existing color-blind button in the GRAPHIC SETTINGS, which allows players to see the enemies in a different color than red. But it doesen't change the way other players see the enemies, they are still red to all others.

Button to hide/remove naval ensigns on ship-models

Oh,I don't hope it is some kind of insult, that has slipped under my radar ;) A million thanks for your input, which has been somewhat GHTYXUs -

Niekolaus replied to Niekolaus's topic in General Discussion
I do like that mod very much. However, I hate to have to download it every time there has been a minor update to the game. It would be much easier to simply get the choise to hide the naval flags on ship-models in the Graphic settings. -

What has the faces of commanders to do with hiding the national naval-ensign flags on the ship-models in port and battle mode? -

Niekolaus replied to Niekolaus's topic in General Discussion
What I mean is that WG puts a huge effort into making "the ship-models appear as historical correct as possible", NOT the game, the game is NOT a simulator nor should it be, it's an arcade shooter game with historic warships. However, I would really like to have the choise to hide/remove the naval flags from the ships on my PC, because the current in-game Japanese and German naval-ensigns have no place on these historic ship-models. -
I suggest that all naval-jack flags should be removed from the ship-models, as many are incorrect or illegal in various countries. Instead. once you start a battle your ship and your allies should get a "GREEN FLAG WITH A LARGE WOWS SYMBOL" and on the enemy ships there should be a "RED FLAG WITH A LARGE WOWS SYMBOL". So when you zoom in there will be an enemy RED flag hanging on the baddies and an allied GREEN flag on the goodies. The GREEN and RED flags in battle could then have small variations to the symbols on them, depending on the players honours, length of service or skill level. The enemy RED flags should of course automatically change color if you plays as color blind. It would also be cool if it was possible to add current national flags of your choice to the rear flagpole of your ships, just like it is possible to replace the national markings on the tanks in WOT, with markings or flags of your choice.

I can see that many people are opposed to this idea of totally neutral game flags on the ships. Just like many people were opposed to my idea of putting historic flags on all ships and just replacing any Svaztikas with an Iron Cross or the WOWS logo. Please read the whole text before answering ;-) I think it is horrible to put at a red Nazi-like ensign on a WW1 era German ship like the Emden, it takes away all the historical correctness of the game and devalues the otherwise huge effort that has been made to make the ship-models appear as historical correct as possible. It seems the only acceptable options are to either install a correct flag mod every 14 days or have WG remove all the default naval-ensigns form the ship-models, just like there are no people on the ships. If default naval-ensigns are removed from the ship-models, then players who wants to put flags on their ships should be able to buy or earn naval-ensigns, national flags or special flags in the FLAG section of the EXTERIOR panel. The FLAG section should have a large variety of national flags and naval-ensigns to chose from, just like you can customize your tanks in WOT. This would allow players to personalize the flags on their ships the way they want them to look, or the players can chose to save their money and keep their ship-models clean and free from any flags. Or there could be a button in the GRAPHIC panel in the SETTINGS menu that removes all naval-ensigns from the ship-models. It should be the individual players choise not modders or WG. Sorry for the long post and thanks again for the many replies.

Add the Imperial German War Ensign to German WW1 era ships

Add the Imperial German War Ensign to German WW1 era ships
Niekolaus posted a topic in General Discussion
Please, please, please make the ships more accurate, by adding the Imperial German War Ensign to German World War 1 era ships. Because the War Ensign of the Third Reich should NOT be mounted on any ships of the Imperial German Navy (1871-1918). I am wondering why the ships of the Imperial German Navy from the World War 1 era (Emden, Dresden, Nassau, König, Kaiser etc.) are flying the War Ensign (look-a-like) of the Third Reich (1933-1945), and not the historic War Ensign of Imperial Germany (1871-1918), while the WW1 ships of the Imperial Russian Navy are'nt flying the Soviet Naval Jack. Why? The Imperial German War Ensign (White with a black cross, an Eagle in the center and the Imperial German flag in the top corner) is very iconic for the WW1 era and should be used on all German WW1-era ships. Just like Russian ships from the WW1 era are flying the historical correct Russian Imperial Naval Jack and only ships from the Soviet-era gets the Soviet Naval Jack. When so much effort is put into making these ships as historical correct as possible, Why can't the flags on German ships change like the flags on Russian/Soviet ships does? -
Add the Imperial German War Ensign to German WW1 era ships
Niekolaus replied to Niekolaus's topic in General Discussion
If they are afraid of being banned because the in-game flags are sen as Nazi symbols, then they should replace the red Nazi-look-a-like flag in their games with the present day German flag Black-Red-Yellow, which dates back to 1848 and is viewed as a symbol of German democracy and freedom. I know that this would not be historically correct, but neither is the current red Nazi-look-a-like flag in WoT, WoWP and WoWS. -
Add the Imperial German War Ensign to German WW1 era ships
Niekolaus replied to Niekolaus's topic in General Discussion
And the War Ensign of the Nazi THIRD REICH does not have strong Nazi connotations! It is NOT forbidden to show the Imperial War Ensign in Germany or any where else, whereas the Nazi War Ensign of the Third Reich is banned in many countries today. The Germans of WW1 were NOT Nazis and by having a Nazi Third Reich flag represent them during WW1 you make the Nazi-flag the normality of Germany. If people or WG doesn't like pre-1933 German heraldy and emblems, because they are used by morons today. Then they should NOT have any German warships, tanks or warplanes in their games, because they can all be seen to have strong Nazi connotations, and replacing a NON-Nazi historical flag with a Nazi-look-a-like Reichskriegsflagge does not make that any better.
