Yea. That's wrong. You can have a midway for no money. If you have no life. Which probably means you have no money Is it a young person thing? I'm grinding for Iowa. Might get her before Xmas why rush I love playing!?

The missions could be better. More interesting. More like iChasegaming and his Monday rules. I get the idea to make you play all classes but I played dds and cvs in CBT and didn't get on with them. I'm ready to have another go with Russian dds though.

Um it's free. As long as you are patient and don't give a monkeys about premiums. Unless you mean the credit economy at high tiers - which does discourage people from grinding to tier ten... Mind you over time I suppose I'll get there.

Um im confused. Why would people not try to play for the win first? Is that not the aim of the game? However... No cap kill all (for example) *sometimes* makes sense if the game is in the bag and you have the last enemy cornered. But in general if someone "fast caps" then all credit too them. It's a game which has victory conditions. I'm not going to complain about it because the losing team *shouldnt* let it happen... (And as for win rate alexcop may have a low one but his other stats are ok. Damage in U.S. BBs looks ok... 141 games in Colorado. The ship that can't "flex" and carry at its tier because it's so slow... Yea I can't blame a 38% WR on the player )

Except we can say to users of the aim mod: - it's a crutch - it won't last - you'll be a worse player once it's disabled. Much worse. - if you need to cheat at an online game you need to examine your life choices.

I suspect not. The mod isn't powerful enough to affect games that much. It just give some people an unfair edge - making them better than they otherwise would be. It doesn't break the game which is why there is so much rumour paranoia and accusation. You can't tell if someone is using the mod. A proper aim BOT would be obvious. I have faith WG will kill it. And soon. They have to or face embarrassment. In the meantime I doubt the majority of people would actually use the mod. Simply because you have to be an asshat to do so.

I disagree. It's nice to know what the devs are working on and what's likely to come. I've been on since CBT and generally what the devs say they do occurs. Spawning division mates together for example. Great! Why people treat such openness and contempt is exactly why companies generally just say nothing.

Everyone seems to hate them and get spammers. I actually use them and find players do - for their intended purpose.

The only other game I play is city builders. I bought cities Xl and it looked amazing. I played it for ages then got bored. It was samey and all my cities ended up looking the same. The online part was dreadful and it tanked. Cities skylines. Bought it, played it to death, got a bit bored of it but... New mods, new features keep coming out so I keep coming back to it. My cities Xl disc is in the bin somewhere So guess what. If content in wows doesn't keep coming the player base will decline over time anyway until it hits stable "hardcore" levels. A slow trickle of new players will come in and some will leave. So the answer is keep up the content additions band to be fair since OBT the hew content has been coming steadily. So keep it up. Let's see the numbers in late October.

Thanks. Should pin this and have a qna thread

No one is saying everything is perfect and wonderful. Either you're right and the game is "doomed" or in time the decline will decrease. WG will know whether it's above or below what they wanted. We have no idea, unless you did the forecasts and market research. There is no point in being dramatic. There is *every point* to continuously feedback how we feel the game could be improved. If we spent more time on that and less time pointing at numbers and trying to infer things then if there is a problem just maybe we can help stop it

Unless it's the Colorado Fuso smash! Is a term I now use.

You do realise that a lot f people were waiting for OBT to "have a go" at wows. Not all of them are going to stick. You should see a steady decline in numbers as natural tankers go back to tanks. Wows isn't for everyone. Now at the same time all new players are coming to WG (like me!) drawn by ship game Saying the game is dying is massively premature. What WG need to do is not get tankers playing wows it attract new gamers. This won't happen overnight and some people are waiting for new content etc before playing more... So the key thing in the coming 6-12 months is to see if the decline continues,levels off and picks up again - or not. Only WG will know how many new accounts and - how much money wows is bringing in. This game will never be as popular as wot by the way, and WG will have a target of - say 50% of wot for wows,but over a much longer timeframe than people are looking at.

Don't forget wows is still new and the majority of the player base are still finding their feet. I'm going to give wot a go soon and I suspect I will be appalling Over time the player base will mature and team play will improve, though not overnight.

Mr. Stats on this forum can find out for you I'm sure. There may be a drop off because of: New university year (lots of students play this), and people waiting for the new ships. Many factors. Long term trends are more interesting.

I like it when I'm awesome at tier V and people ask for tips. I carried a game in Kongo last night against 3 cruisers attacking our cap - even the enemies were asking how I killed them without dying (right target selection, fighting retreat, heal at the right time). I was literally a big fish in a small pond as it was on the map Big Race Games like that 4 kills, 90k damage) will keep me coming back. Or maybe it's just my love affair with Kongo.

It can be annoying but at least it's a win. You can go play another game! Not great if your chasing good average stats though I'd prefer this problem over a draw anyway. We were winning a game yesterday then the bb left the cap in the last minute, leading to a draw...

where are those average damage stats from? they look very low. I mean I manage 60k damage with Colorado and I've not managed a win in her yet! And Kongo only 33k?

Fortunately now I've unlocked a lot of tier V-VII I play for the fun of playing. Might get Iowa. Eventually. Not bothered. Will likely get NC then play with Russians and Germans

This argument is pointless now. Why not accept that someone knows more than you? If they've done all the hard work learning why oh why would I bother to do it all myself - instead of taking the short cut to learn from others. I would be a student of Figment and a follower of Aerroon, Notser and iChasegaming incidentally... Oh well. Theoretically this argument could go on for a while now since it looks like both figment and humbug are unable to allow the other to have the last word

Hehe I'm a Figment follower Or rather, I assume I'm bad. Therefore I can be open to ideas on how to improve. Figment is in fact brutally honest. Sometimes that feels like an insult, until you realise it's a fact.

Love this. It's official. I do not suck in Fuso and Kongo!

Yep. We may see a lot of kids crushed and an app layer opened up. We will see. However it's in WG interests to squash this mod and fast. So I'm optimistic.

So long as dds are still spotted by aircraft I'm not bothered.

Ah never mind then yes I'll be far more motivated to play all new ships. I might try to do dds in the Russian line but I am bad at dd play I need new bb lines
