We all know co ops are an ignored, disrespected type of game - hard when like me through disability I am too slow for randoms however there is simply no excuse for the following which I have tracked since the last patch averaging 15/20 games a day in all tiers from 5 to 10 in all different ship types. 1) 79% of games central spawn - just boring. 2) 83% of games top tier by 2 tiers - XP therefore down by 20%. 3) 81% of games in BBs have 4 DDs and result in little or no damage because the DDs just wade in and kill everything. 4) 77% of games if u spawn on a flank (rare) then all the bots rush away from your flank leaving you literally NOTHING to fight. 5) 39% of games have a unicum in who either kills everything or plays with no care about team mates. 6) 82% of games are finished within 2.5 minutes of the first bot being spotted. It actually feels like WarGaming are trying to destroy this game mode so they can remove it - if that is your plan just do it and save me the time. In short if co ops are not changed then you will lose a previously addicted; money spending player - time to actually listen and DO something about this type of battle.

I have an INVITATION to give away. To any member of WG staff who would like to join me in a division to play a few co op battles please feel free to join me - I hope then you will see why Co Ops should be on the roadmap of future developments.

So we are supposed to guess at how long the other 8 players have been waiting ? Seriously ?

Except we were told in various posts there would be a 3 DD limit on games with less than 30 seconds wait time - but there that is NOT working !

As usual the art department are 100% fantastic. Shame the guys who programme co ops are hopeless and liars. New 3 DD rule broken nearly every game even with short waiting times; Bots ramming each other all the time; Bots getting stuck on Islands. Supposed to be fixed, told it was, it is not. Can we have the art department run WG please ?

So this event has been running basically a week now - checked my stats and replays and Im Top tier by 2 tiers roughly 81% of the time since they started. Checked the week before and Im top tier by 2 tiers roughly 59%% of the time - coincidence , no such thing. As stated above impossible even with mega games to get beyond 600 or in some 800. I remember the last time this ran I was getting 1000 or 1200 for each ship^. Shame I fancied the Spanish ship guess it will be beyond me then WG............... Oh and here is another replay to show you the joke - top tier and 70% of the enemy go totally other flank. 20220224_162840_PGSB109-Friedrich-der-Grosse_19_OC_prey.wowsreplay

And today - Marceau - 4 kills, 166K damage and that is STILL not enough for personal challenge improvement to 1000 !!!!

And so far today - 18 games; TWO of which I was bottom tier and able to therefore earn meaningful XP the other SIXTEEN top tier every game including 2 games with fail DIV with one guy 3 tiers lower. Do you want to explain how we can better the 600 marker in the challenges when MM is rigged for no XP gain ??

This is the fix i am talking about - Tier 7 and send all the bots completely the other way from where u spawn me - how pathetic. Love trying to grind to Preussen and personal challenges when I can get a whole 32K damage and waste flags and cammo. 20220219_145246_PGSB109-Friedrich-der-Grosse_14_Atlantic.wowsreplay

Yet again us co op players are stitched up by WG. In 90% of games I am thrown in with ships 2 tiers lower so I automatically start with minus 20% XP. Tried all tiers same fixed MM to deny XP - thanks again from your handicapped community :-(

So co ops (again) WG tells us that the Bots were improved for this patch ? More lies yet again - still ramming each other, still caught on islands, still mercy rule wat shy of 1000 points, still hiding the highest HP ship behind an island. To see how utterly RIDICULOUS co ops are see my attached (typical game) where the TOTAL of the BOT xp doesnt even match our 3rd best player on his own. Stop lying and sort out co ops WG. 20220105_122101_PBSB517-Nelson_41_Conquest.wowsreplay

Improved communication ? Then why lie constantly about BOT "improvements" in co op ? This mode has become an utter joke for disabled players like me limited to co ops. Oh and dont get me started on the BS 3DD rule - 90% of games with 4 DDs. Another WG lie. And yes i watch the timer for the 30sec limit - still a fail on your part. Or the ridiculous mercy rule. Oh and why early access and missions ? Lets give new players ships they cant play and get rid of finding that little star ship at low tiers - imagine missing out on Clemson !!

This is the state of Co Ops - 4 DDs (WG promised 3 max in co ops - lying scum) and what a surprise they all yolo in and kill everything - disgusting boring crap game after game. 4 Marceaus at 55 kph stem in gun down enemy DDs torp everything else - yawn. 20220208_125322_PBSC110-Minotaur_44_Path_warrior.wowsreplay

I have been complaining about co ops for sometime and how pathetic the bots are. Today has seen a new low - a human AFK Bismarck managed more XP from his auto firing secondaries than any of the bots on the enemy team. Average XP for them 42 - have they actually been reprogrammed to do NOTHING ? Its utterly pathetic.

If you read my previous posts I am a disabled player with MANY co op games - far more able to comment on how ridiculous this game mode has become over the years than most. I have played, watched and cried at the state of co ops; Today played on Northern Waters in Pobeda spawned at A behind Fletcher and new Orleans - what did WG send to A ? NOTHING. 3 players who got ZERO enjoyment out of what is supposed to be fun.

Co Op numbers were INCREASED from 8 to 9 a while ago. What would be nice is 9 humans versus 12 Bots. And "cheating" is not possible on server side games.

My main reason for starting this post was 2 fold. 1) WG have announced twice in the last 6 months 2 improvements to BOT AI - untrue the BOTs are noticeably WORSE than before and 2) WG have a total disregard verging on discrimination against their older and or handicapped player base who play co ops like myself.

Im not saying make them super unicums but if i can play a game with priority target as a captain skill and sail into 4 bots and not ONCE does the skill activate its basically a crap game mode. Also its now full of 65 to 71% random win rate players who either sit afk to get their daily xp or kill everything - go back to randoms you guys leave co ops for us disabled or slower guys.

Oh they have given up - buy why lie and say they have improved BOT AI - the most obvious one is a supposed 3 DD rule - but nearly every game even with a few seconds queue time has 4 DDs.

Im a disabled player whose reactions are too slow for randoms Im afraid. I remember the better Bots with fondness it was an ACTUAL game for a short while..............................

There seems to be (at least in my brain) some discrepancies in the news items about what to do with Tashkent/Khaba changes coming up; I have Tashkent and have researched Khaba but bought it. Originally I read that if this is the case you will be gifted Khaba and regrind from Tashkent to Delny - makes sense happy with that. More recently I saw that you have to buy Khaba and when changes come in you 50% of credits back. Can anyone clarify which or neither is correct please ??

Have you actually READ the missions ? I quote "In ONE battle get three captured or assist in capture ribbons" - are you SERIOUS - do u want to enlighten us as to HOW that is possible ??

Great now subs can double ping many targets for 90 seconds. How utterly broken is that.

What about the bug where all 360° degree turrets now take the longest traverse to refocus or have u not noticed that one ?? Actually Makarov OK - seems to be new german BB line and Petro.

Utterly confusing, not great rewards, bit shite really WG.
