all of which would be relevant if this was a simulator, but it's a game... although I do wonder what the game would look like if HE shells worked like they do in Tanks, where they do have the highest alpha and deal a fraction of that based on how close they were to penetrating the armour hit (rarely full damage due to low pen value, but also rarely zero), as opposed to the more simplistic yes-or-no system Warships uses...

no, it's showing exactly what it does. You want the bonus to be +500% free XP per battle, which would be hilarious. Maybe you should live up to your name a little more...

and we clearly needed two threads on the same day with the exact same title to tell us that, because it's never been noticed before...

how sure are you? I can't recall a situation where I went "huh, I am radaring that guy, why am I not getting any spotting damage?"... can still be because I'm dumb of course, so I'd be very interested in your evidence.

well, we havent had a good old fashioned temper tantrum in a while, guess we were overdue

iirc you get a new quota every day, so you can just come back tomorrow this thread sure deserves it

just to make sure I'm not being an idiot even more of an idiot than I usually am... these are PTS only for now and will go live next patch, right? i do want to try this, but dont have PTS installed at the moment (too many other wows clients for various testing purposes already^^)

not that it hurts when the Dakka is big as well...

uhm... where's any unexpected behaviour in that at all? there's a slight bit of rendering delay (granted, more than we get on average these days, but nothing extreme) for when you spot the CV initially, and after that you smoke up instantly so of course it's not going to be spotted?

doesnt happen. splash can only do module damage, not fires. in general, just take the hit ribbons you get. Nothing more complicated than that.

First one, not sure you'd be able to see him over those rocks. Impossible to tell without knowing exactly where he is, and from just that static picture I'm also not sure whether some ship from the south could be spotting you. on the second pic, just looking at the minimap I dont see what would be spotting the CV - it's definitely not you, since you're only detected by planes. Looks to me it might be the minimap bugging out here, and showing the Lexi as spotted when it isnt? Plus, it's not like replays are completely without fault^^

context? why should we, what's interesting about it?

guilty as charged, hopefully "just" came off as grumpy... sorry about that :) oh and @CptBarney slight advice from a forum veteran: saying things like will likely reduce the average quality of the answers you get by a good 50% (I know it did for mine...) because that makes you kinda sound like you blame the game/bugs for what's happening as opposed to asking an open-minded question. Whether that's your intention or not is hard to tell from the get-go (only became clear in the follow-up that it wasnt). And we've had way too many individuals in the past that were agressively crying about some sort of bug or even hack when the issue really was just their own lack of knowledge - hence why I'm more thin-skinned on that particular front than I really should be. That's of course not an excuse for me being grumpy, just a bit of context for you :) Keep asking questions, and as Gleb said just ignore the less-helpful answers as best you can - if your attitude in asking them stays as it was in here, you'll also get the good and helpful answers you deserve

no, that's exactly the same thing I would have done to get you a more detailed answer: ask google, and copypaste. Sorry, but you can do that yourself...

either a simple edit in one of the config files, or use one of the modpacks. you can also just ask good ol' Uncle Google for more details

hard to be sure without a replay. most likely answer though? Just you not understanding what's going on.

error. does not compute. ...come again, and maybe in english this time?

I actually got dragged into that a while back by a few clanmates, coop multiplayer. Was kinda fun, sure, but didnt really hook me either...

it works exactly the way it's supposed to. This is a game, not a simulator - realism doenst factor in here.

sorta looking for a game to hook me these days... but recently, none have had the right kind of bait, neither old favourites nor new titles.

or, you know, you could actually get a clue or two about how the spotting mechanics work... but that's probably too much effort, right? valid, but has been that way for ages (and is apparently even worse in Tanks), WG dont seem to give a monkey's... no they wouldn't. Error 404 balance not found.

dont have screenshots, but it should be something along those lines for me as well. Also, I note with approval that most of that was done with AP, "despite" you being in a Conqueror that's the way to do it!

very constructive title...

oh my what an absolute surprise! who would have seen that coming

this is one of those situations where a time machine would be really neat to have - because while I personally share the "things have gone downhill" perception expressed here with many veterans, I'm not at all sure that it's actually accurate. Would certainly be interesting to just be able to go back and play the game as it was two years ago, see whether it really has gone downhill or whether it's just natural burn-out taking its toll...
