I only play co-ops as I am handicapped with arthritic hands this patch has meant that the controls for aiming are basically impossible for me to use, 80% of games the carrier I bought Ryujo is in a Tier 8 game against US BBs and AA CCs and even these BOT enemies AA means I cant get 1 single wave thru to do any damage. Please WG allow me to play CVs again, rethink this awful rework and go back to how it was where the play was balanced and fun.

Un real - posted then played again FIVE star win and the difference was totally unnoticeable between the team play of loss and 5 star - weird.

WAY, WAY too hard now - 22 games this week , ONE 4 star, 5 ONE star, 5 NO star wins and the rest losses. The teams dont understand they can heal nor that the supposed tier 4s are NOT, the tier 5s are NOT - Bayerns struggling to kill Nurnbergs and Kaisers. The Izumo that can out turn cross strike torps?? WG either be honest with what we are fighting or let us take Tier 7s - to waste 20 minutes, 180K damage for 300 xp loss - no thanks. Oh and make it inaccessible to DDs please.

I noticed since this mornings update that whilst the speedos read the same speed as yesterday all the ships feel REALLY sluggish - not just me either - lots of chat in game about how slow everything feels like you are sailing through thick soup !!

Two more both ZERO stars. Dear Mr Conway - would you care to post how many of these battles have been played overall and how many have resulted in 5 star wins?? I bet its less than 5% - if I get none out of 32 then Im guessing the percentage is around 3% for 5 star wins.

Today - two battles - 1 Three star and 1 Four star - the Four star because Deidre the Dickshit trans ship stopped AFTER every enemy was dead except Rasputin on 400 HP and he was blocking gate - she had 58K health left too. According to a respected YouTube CC you need a Five star result to unlock a submarine for the next mode. Should be fun with one superunicum in a sub and no one else - time to rethink WG if after over 30 games I still only have 3 Four star wins and no Five stars and talking to everyone else in game they feel the Five star win is a rigged impossibility too with "odd" behaviour from the trans ship seemingly designed to halt the Five star victory.

3 more battles, 3 more ZERO star games with crap 300xp - fix this so that the INSTRUCTIONS ARE CLEARER, the TRANS ship heals in the circle too and the TRANS ship doesn't decide to randomly stop when we are in circle and no enemies for miles around. Its broke, its frustrating and THERE ARE NO REWARDS because 5 stars are basically impossible. Two more - 1 ZERO, 1 THREE - WG u must have a list of results - if 5 star wins are less than say 20% - which are I suspect they are WAY lower - then you can see this is broken. Over 30 battles now not ONE 5 star win.

So update 6 battles every day in BBs and cruiser = 24 battles plus 3 in the rubbish DDs = 27 in total. Results ?? One four star, one three star the rest total failures with ZERO stars and in all those Im doing at least 100K damage in cruisers, 150 in BBs. Its just not explained well and made worse by the actual trans ship seeming to almost deliberately put itself in the line of fire despite being sandwiched by BBs she forges ahead to get set on fire - why doesn't SHE heal in the circle - badly executed mode.

I thought when this was introduced - oh good a ranked battle scenario for us newer players with tier 7 max ships etc. - then I watched the famous youtubers telling you what ships to "rebuy" and what 19 point captains to run...……. In short you either get wrecked in 5 minutes by a seal clubber team or if they are on your side you wreck the enemy buts as a newer player do very little damage. Tier 8 or 10 should be kept as that for those players to play - Tier 5 ranked should not be infested with players who do 200K in a DesMoines every weekend - I cant believe this is in the "spirit" it was intended to be??

10 attempts - all fails except one 3 or 4 star - u need to explain better that the trans ships needs half its health or make it so it doesn't an just survives the battle. Today got to the gate, all enemy ships dead, all catapults dead, Rasputin half dead and trans ship goes to29K - whole operation a total fail . 15 minutes of my life wasted …………………………... And what do you get for this ?? 300 xp despite being 3rd in team and no rewards - not worth playing.

So I thought I would give the Operation Narai I go - first off it tells you need four in "platoon" but it let me in singly no problem but WOW what is this ?? Operation for Dunkirk was easy to finish time after time with 5 stars if u took a DD with some AA. This mission we get 7 ships for allies we kill all the enemy ships on our side of the map, we kill all the enemy escort ships, we destroy all the forts, we kill the first CV, we land all our troops and despite having used the heal circle and still having 4 ships left the final objective appears "kill all ships in the enemy waters" - there is NINE of them sitting there on full health including DDs, a CV, BBS etc all at least our tier or higher. Why such a HUGE discrepancy between the two operations in terms of difficulty??

Map Haven - co-ordinates C6 - small island edge doesn't render properly and u get stuck in open water - if u die ship wobbles to death and drowning !!

Hurrah - got first five star today - used Jervis and went and killed Nicolas supply ships and fort - had to go to circle for 30% heal after but it worked - great team great result. Best guy on our team ?? Nuevo de Julio that just burnt EVERYTHING to the ground didn't think that ship would work but it obviously does.

At what tier do you think upgrades and/or premium consumables should be a must have?? Im running these things on my premium ships and bits of them non other T5 and T6 - no T7s yet but should they be a standard thing to budget for at Tier 5 onwards ??

Had one box in Port when I loaded the game got Acasta - 2 more appeared that day got 30 "money" - did ALL the missions (except where u need tier 7 UK DD of course) and got absolutely NOTHING for doing the missions, a few flags but no boxes. 2 85K games in Acasta though - good little ship.

Hi,, Ive been playing every day now for a good few weeks and have ground every line to tier 5 and some tier 6. I run at least 5 point captains in every ship and play mostly co- op battles because I enjoy them. Here are my observations for what they are worth on my time in WoW as to the frustrating elements. 1) Tier 5 to Tier 6 is a massive xp jump especially if the lines split like the omaha - cannot it not be "flattened out" across the lower tiers so eg: tier 4 and 5 are slightly harder to get but tier 6 slightly less. I feel like im gonna be stuck with all the tier 5 BBs forever which brings me to my next issue. 2) 75% of my games played in tier 5 BBs are with tier 7 DDs this leads to 2 issues - firstly if the DDs are decent players they kill everything before my 19 knots gets me in to the action in my stock snail and secondly if I get hunted by a tier 7eemy DD I can do nothing to evade them. Im luck in those games if I come away with 10K damage - its OK if its a tier 5 game - I can do decent damage. 3) Tier 5 BB dispersion - (especially iron duke) - 6 salvos fired at graf spee broadside from 6km - not ONE hit - the salvos seem to have a ship shaped hole in the middle of them - very frustrating. The only BB that seems accurate to me at tier 5 is the Bretagne and im running that totally stock but always come away with a decent result. 4) Enemy DDs in co-ops seem programmed just to yolo at smoke screens can you make them "better" or have a different tactic - its annoying if your trying a "grown up" cap and the enemy just rush you - rarely happens in the randoms. 5) Finally the co-op battles where the allies have only 2 or 3 "real players" - twice this week Ive been in games where we had only 2 real players me in Konigsberg and a DD. We both did well - I got 75K damage and 3kills - DD got 4 kills. Result?? Enemy had 1 ship left - their carrier and we had three left our carrier and 2 cruisers - for the first time I actually watched the battle play out - the 2 carriers carried on fighting but only with each other - our 2 cruisers beached and took no further part in the remaining 4 minutes. We were ahead on points and had more ships left until the enemy carrier killed ours then found the beached cruisers. We lost - that is plainly UNFAIR. I will finish this with one more thing - what a great game, great community and thankyou for pulling me away from the oh so broken World of Tanks.

OK so I elite a ship with an elite commander. The ship continues to gain free XP, commander XP AND ship XP is there any way to "divert" this ship XP to commander or free XP without using doubloons (like in WOT where you can click accelerate crew training). ???

Not so in WoT my friend - when you elite a tank (research all modules and the next tier tank) you can click on accelerate crew training from then on in the tank will NEVER earn more XP it ALL gets diverted to crew XP and some free XP but never just to tank XP because hey well its useless isn't it why would you need tank XP on a tank with nothing left to research??

Hi all, Im new to WoW and compared to WoT I find it much more "friendly" - Im having good results with guns, bad with torps but I am wondering what ships are "known" to be keepers or slightly OP. Ive ket the Orlan from Tier 1, I love the wickes and most of the battleships except their tortoise speed. I hate the Friant and Caledon - am I in the right ballpark with these choices or am I mad ?? I have tier 4 max at the moment and intend to research every ship as I go. Thanks

Ive looked in the premium shop, arsenal and "external" and I cant see anything that's permanent - 125 doubloons equates to the cost of tank cammo in WoT for say summer its very expensive for 1 game !!

I can see cammo that costs 50 or 125 doubloons but how long does this last - 1 battle ??

On the cammo front - can u buy permanent cammo for "keeper" ships like my Clemson - and if so how please ??

Well so far from Tier 1 I have kept the Orlan, nothing from Tiers 2 and 3, but from Tier 4 the Clemson - my god that thing is brutal :-)

Very brief succinct answer but not overly helpful - so why would you want to gain ship XP on elite ships when they have nothing to research ?? It doesn't make sense not to be able to divert their XP to the commander. Or premium ships which have nothing to research - why do you need ship XP on these ??

Im wondering if Im the only one getting fed up with my torps missing then 2 minutes later some blind ally running into them and dying and I get penalised ?? just me or shouldn't your team be awake enough to hear and see the warnings ?? Dont mind justified penalties but for people with no situational awareness OR how about a team chat auto message that says "*** has launched his torps".
