Not sure if this is a new behaviour of co-op bots. I haven't encountered this one before. A bot Vermont alters course and speed to hide in my smoke screen. Of course it doesn't work out well for me. Here she comes, actually going elsewhere... Now she changes course... ...and slows down to park right next to me in my (fading) smoke. In a true BB fashion, that weirdly reminded me of several human players I encountered over the past few years she then fires her guns, totally ignoring the friendly ship in front of her.... ... and turns pink. Hi WG. In case you altered bot behaviour recently, here is something that doesn't work very well. @Crysantos @Sehales @PleasenotMrConway.

I plead to make it "un-off-switchable" and to all modders not to make such a mod. If I pay 10k of steel for a camo I want everybody to have to look at it. For the same reason that I play loud music in my car and open the windows. BTW WG, what about a pimp camo? Purple velvet, 2 fuzzy dice hanging on the bridge, maybe a foxtail at the antenna...

She was almost stopped. I don't know any ship in the game that slows down from bot-typical full ahead to 5 knots because of rudder usage.

I will not actively test anything for this company unless I get properly paid with real money.

Been saying this 3 years ago already. WG's vision for the game is to target the casual pewpewpew. The graphics receive so much of their attention only because they have another business running there. Take it as it is or leave it.

Let me save you guys all the hard work of closely monitoring situations: Flint is not going to be OP if you increase the range. I have already closely monitored the situation partially by playing this game, partially by looking at all the stats that @ColonelPete posts on a daily basis. She is going to be fine. Actually you could increase her range to 30km and she would be even finer as she would punish all bow, map border, and island camping BBs with a beatiful rainbow made of HE shells. That would not only look pretty but would be a useful addition to the game. Due to her shell arcs all other ships are safe. You're welcome.

Maybe they develop the script for the bots by playing them themselves. Like a macro. If that is so and given the extraordinarily smart move I'd say it was someone from the Balancing Department. Edit: Coming to think of it, it might be the playstyle of the CEO we see here.

Wenn, dann passiert es nicht immer, sondern nur entweder an bestimmten Stellen oder zu eingeschränkten Zeiten. Wie gesagt, ich schau da nochmal rein, wenn ich mehr Zeit habe.

Bist Du sicher? Ich hatte Momente, wo mein Schiff auf die Küste zugetrieben ist. Dann ist es ja nicht die Wasserbewegung sondern die Veränderung der Landansicht, die als Indikator dient. Ich schau mir das bei Gelegenheit nochmal an.

Du hast geschrieben, dass Du normalerweise keine Streams anschaust. Meinst Du, dass es eine gute Idee ist, dann solche Beiträge zu schreiben? Beiträge über ein Thema, von dem Du, wie Du selbst sagst, wenig Ahnung hast? Im Gegensatz zur Bild geht Flamu durchaus in die Tiefe, um seine Meinung zu begründen.

1. Learn the game mechanics. This game is deeper than it seems at first glance and some of its mechanics are poorly documented (if at all). Knowing them gives you an advantage over many players. Just as an example: try to find out the meaning behind the number 14.3 2. Have individual ship stats in your head. Knowing stuff like concealment ranges, reload times of armament, armour schemes and so on not only for your own ship but also for all the ships that you encounter, is a basis to be more successful. For a newcomer that is a huge pile of data to learn. That is one reason why rushing through the tiers produces bad results. 3. Don't rush through the tiers. Consolidate whatever you learned by playing plenty of battles on that level. Play several ships and ship types on a tier and get consistently good results in them before moving on. 4. Minimap - your best friend. Many new players focus on their skirmish with whatever enemy ship they see on the big screen. They completely forget/ignore that there are many more duels happening on the battlefield. Learning to recognize, interpret and predict the big picture is essential for getting a good WR. This skill will let you know a good position, a bad position, enemies trying to move in a good position or trying to ambush you or your mates and so on.

I am so sorry for. I can feel your pain. Don't you cry when others mock you for not being a good enough a player in DDs, so that you have a more active role in the battle. A battleship is a perfectly fine ship type and the game should let you win in it if you desire to play only BBs.

It used to be the same with Smolensks. Too many in each battle. After their removal you could see a steady decline of them per battle. I expect to see something similar with Thunderer. I assume the idea behind the removals is to signal players that they have to be on their toes, keep playing to accumulate resources so that they are ready to buy a ship when it gets removed.

Doing it like this ever since they removed Missouri. That was the alarm bell ringing for me.

Back in my day I had to pay 20€ in order to be able to play this game.

Don't let your kindness stop you from speaking your mind.

I don't see any reason to help WG unless they pay me a sufficient amount of €.

Lasse Reinström? Hihihi.

I really like the idea that we skip the dogma of 12 vs 12 in Randoms. MM could randomly create an 8 vs 8 or 7 vs 7, choose a not-big map, 1 tier difference and no CV. Just make it happen randomly.

I am rank 1 so I just wanna hold the star.

More of the same. Free beer around square H3.

I found reference to a training mission a few months ago. To see it I created a new account. It is not there (anymore). As a newcomer you start in a tier 1 co-op battle without too many explanations.

That is the other part of the problem. I assume this part will not go away in the future. Would it be too much to ask to write "I disagree" instead of BS = bullshlt in the future?

Then I would say WG is playing you. They make you feel this way. Sorry, no offence.

If you play to achieve a good rank, others holding you back feels bad. Since the change to Ranked and WG telling us between the lines that Ranked is not about ranking, I just see it as the nicer form of Randoms and I am much more relaxed.
