Hi all, News... I hate to constantly see those red numbers in News telling me that I have ton of info unread... Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, All ships in new "Armory"... Leo "Apollo11" P.S. Erroneous "stitching" issues fixed (i.e. "double Atlanta row)...

Hi all, Very interesting post from RU forum: https://forum.worldofwarships.ru/topic/126823-неуязвимые-самолёты/?page=4&tab=comments#comment-5527325 Yes, there is such a mechanic, and it works as intended - when planes from a squadron are not controlled by a player, they are immune to damage - the link returning to the aircraft carrier begins to receive damage again at the end of the animation of the bombs falling, and but it’s necessary to take into account several factors: 1) It’s not as easy to use this mechanics as it seems, it doesn’t increase the accuracy of the dumping - on the contrary, it takes practice to reset correctly, a good calculation, and the target has more time to react . 2) If you remove this mechanic - the planes that can not dodge in any way will receive just huge damage and most likely will not be able to enter the next attack, which obviously greatly reduces the efficiency of the aircraft carrier in combat. 3) The use of this "trick" requires the expenditure of two links for each attack - that is, damage to the squadron as a whole may be less than with a conventional attack, but yes, with less loss of aircraft. 4) And besides, for aircraft carriers, changes are already planned to reduce their impact on combat - for example, we will solve the problem with early spotting. So, we already know that the balance of classes will change. As you understand, dumping a bunch of changes at once is a bad practice, so for optimal results we try to make changes in order and carefully monitor the balance in the game. Well, obviously, we are watching the aircraft carriers especially carefully now. Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, Maxim I found out that there were other battles affected as well - this was possibly due to WoWs crash / freeze - I send you the files - thanks in advance! Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, Darn... Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, Thanks! Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, Maxim, I noticed that this week's "Space Battles" (i.e. new game mod "Assault" which was different fro last weeks "Epicenter") do not register at all in MxStat... Can you please verify that? Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, Perhaps @McMurmel knows what happened (he posted the original fix)? Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, Yes - that is 100% correct! Why? Because those can only be in state "OK" / "Destroyed" and "Preventive Maintenance" can only work for stuff that can get damaged and repaired... Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, 7M was well worth of Necro... Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, I am yet to see attacking team win... Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, I was not able to login whole Sunday (I didn't have time to try before that)... I even resetted my PT password but it was of no help... Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, I was not able to login to PT whole Sunday... I even resetted my PT password and erased everything but it didn't work... Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, I was not able to login at all whole Sunday... Was the server down? Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, Do you still use BFT & AFT on your ships (regarding free Commander re-spec in upcoming WoWs v0.8.2)? I had AFT on most of my cruisers but I will remove it in WoWs v0.8.2 because the AA effect is simply not worth it IMHO (I left it after WoWs v0.8.x just in case)! Therefore my one and only captain with BFT & AFT will remain the 19-point fully secondary specced commander of "Großer Kurfürst" (and "Tirpitz" / "Scharnhorst" / "Prinz Eitel Friedrich" / "König Albert")... Leo "Apollo11" P.S. Small clarification - I was asking regarding BFT & AFT mainly in light of AA benefit for CAs/CLs/BBs and not about gunboat DDs (which are class of their own).

Hi all, This was posted on Reddit - sounds logical: Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, "The Mighty Jingles" is testing "Azuma"... Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, More info: Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, PR is damage and kills only... we had great statistical analysis a while back of PR and how it is not a great way to "judge" player... Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, I thought that as well... certain port UI operations were lagging as hell... Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, I must say that I like my "Dmitri Donskoi" (and kept her with her own 19-point captain shared with "Mikhail Kutuzov")! I played "Dmitri Donskoi" in supporting role and was kiting a lot - I think the "Azuma" should be played the same way... it is not the "breakthrough" ship... Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, I bought "Azuma" for 1.000.000 FreeXP ! Since I had 1.500.000 FreeXP saved (and every single FreeXP ship released since start) it was simple choice... I played just few CoOp games (no time for anything else) and I liked her! BTW, I used my Yamato 19-point "Isoroku Yamamoto" fully tanky captain and she behaved like expected (like Battlecruiser) The guns were better than anticipated (HE obliterates DD in 2 salvos, AP deletes CLs/CAs and AP hurts BBs - but I had no BB citadel - you aim for other parts). Her armor is bad (as expected) but heal is good and kiting is the way of life... Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, Ahhh... some "stitching" issues I see... darn that automated software... Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, Do you have difficulty aiming with torpedoes when your ship is on fire (i.e. huge smoke plumes obscure the aiming when enemy target is near-by)? Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, This is exactly why I asked... Leo "Apollo11"
