EU server they see us as cash cows.... all other servers are treated fairly and they respect their gamers.... Spend NO MONEY on this game till they treat us fairly and with respect... what the other servers get for free... we have to pay for. The server "owners" need to be replaced with DECENT managers and decent human beings... its bordering on a criminal act what they are doing.

And your point is? The fact remains, knowing the ship I drive and her guns, I can hit a target nearly first time... its nothing special, its called "practice" .... Maybe you should try it instead of doubting what I say... or better yet, face me in a game... I'd be glad to demonstrate....

My son told me this game was money magnet and he is right. If you want to get anywhere, you need to spend big bucks to get a decent ship, and its true when the EU WoWS sees us only as a cash cow. They charge money to make a profit... huge profits... They could make the same money by charging less for things and ships and end up with more players... but they don't... they are creating a class society within the game, those "elite" players who lord it over us all with stupid comments like "get better"... and the result is those that cannot afford ANYTHING play anyhow, get stuck with the same ships so take it out on everyone by becoming "criminals" in game by killing allied players... they have worked and worked and they get no where fast... frustration sets in... they read these forums, the trolls that belittle those who cannot afford to spend money... they think they are better than us with their "get better" comments.... They fail to see the implications for the future... the "elite" and WoWS owners are driving people away from this game... look at the Christmas Convoy ... no explanation, just arrogance... not available in the EU.... many posts, all ignored... they treat us with contempt... especially with the new mission.... which can ONLY be completed using the Graff Spee.... "elitist" much? Where is the competition for the people??? No, we get stuck with 200% XP games... yeah right, you can play for every day using 30 odd ships in your fleet and still not end up with a tier 8 or higher ship unless you play for 6 months straight... no wonder people are not playing this game any more, no wonder the number of complaints in this forum is on the rise (justifiably I might add) about the arrogance of the WoWS owners.... If they do not support the players more then this game will be dead within a year. What is FREE or can be bought with XP in the NA server area is what we have to pay for here.... and North America is richer than the EU, so why are they not seen as the cash cows? "moo"

Another fiasco with a fiasco of a "fix".... What about all the other gripes? I suppose the Christmas Convoy fiasco will be answered round about June... right? Sorry to say this, no more money from me till you get your crap together... the EU server is a joke... and all we are doing is subsidising the other regions... I mean, yeah, make us pay for some ships the other regions get to buy with credits and XP... sounds very fair NOT!

Do it a few times within a certain time and you will...

Agreed, its a mess... TOTALLY detracts from the video... he could have just made a post and be done with it.

Sorry you old MOO COW.... I was slightly drunk, K? That is my excuse and I'm sticking to it. EDIT: Truth? I suffer from multiple sclerosis and with it a condition called "MS induced double vision" ... I get most of the typos, but its very hard to actually see the little bits ... spell checker in FireFox helps a lot BUT.... its not perfect, it only checks words.

I live in New Zealand, but I was born in Asten, Noord Brabant... but I have to admit, my wife is also from Nederland and has been here almost 2 years now, she was my translator on this one.

I am not! I resemble that remark, you take that back now.... or.....or..... I'll tell on you!

Actually, the EU is still in the EU till March next year.... its not easy divorcing Brussels as they thought... either they are going to ask for more time or there is going to be plenty of blood on the floor when they rip England off the EU's tit.....

If they (swastikas) were in the game, and you were in my team, and your ship was flying one... I'd become a TKer and I wouldn't give a damn, in fact, I'd be PROUD of having sunk your ship... and I'm pretty sure others would feel the same way.... so... just as well you were joking.... right?

I agree with you.... now.... I decided tonight, at seeing all the unfairness of it, not to spend any more money on this game... If we all did that, then the cretin who decided all this unfairness might either quit or be out of a job when they start losing money. Maybe what you need to do is find a lawyer who can file a class action on your behalf... the E.U. Courts would take a very dim view of it... Basically.... we are subsidising the other regions... and its not fair. They really do think we must be scum, or monkeys... either way, we are not worthy of being treated as equals. So..... feck em... take the bastards to court, if they get fined so much they may have to close down, I for one wouldn't care one bit. You KNOW they think we are scum.... when was the last time THEY were ever in here talking to us like equals? Explaining why they treat dogs better than they do us. BOYCOTT..... play the game, but do NOT give them any money.

Well, some of us English speakers can speak Dutch and be careful because I might correct you one day! sommige Engels sprekende mensen kunnen ook Nederlands..en wees voorzichtig misschien corrigeer ik jouw nog wel eens een keer Take that Dutchy! Have a happy New Year!

If you don't like them, STOP PLAYING!!! I never thought I'd see a player "sinking that low" as you just did.

Suck it up Princesses.... I'll take a stab in the dark here, you hug the sides of the map, right? That must be it if you're complaining about the range of the guns on the New York. The fact is, realistically, you're playing a ship from an era where no two nations had the best BB... things like this were common faults in all BB's... and for the USA, those ships were built for range, to cross the Pacific at the cost of speed. Someone above said its a poor workman that blames his tools... I agree. The fact is the the New York, if driven correctly, can be a game changer in any battle. 9 times out of 10, my New York survives and has at least one kill and a good amount of score for her efforts. There is no such thing as a bad ship... only bad players.

I'm with you Cherry, I'm 56 years old and a grammar Nazi!

Suck it up, Princess! My stats are better than yours, but I have bigger complaints.... I haven't won a super container in weeks, I play every day.... that is 1 Number 2 is that whenever I buy camo and mount signals to give me an edge, I find I'm facing impossible odds... ie: My destroyer VS 5 BB's.... and I get sunk before even scoring one torpedo hit.... Without that stuff.... I usually survive and score a good amount of XP etc.... so, say, 600 .... but with camo and signals... 100 ..... SUCKS!!!!! It always happens, its like the game sees what I'm mounting on my ship, LOL's its head off and puts me in a team where all I'm going to be is cannon fodder....

Real life: BB's never ever saw the opposition forces, same with carriers. However, WoWS is a game and not reality! I always take my BB's into the thick of it, its harder when the other team has many BB's but that is the way of life. Up close, one broadside from a BB up close is probably enough to sink a DD and totally screw up a Cruisers day... and yes, I call those side hugging BB captains what they are, cowards. If they played like the Bot BB's in co-op, then all would be good, if two or more sailed as a group, then no tin can or cruiser would survive the first salvo meaning the teams destroyers and cruisers can survive long enough to take the enemy BB's out... while the BB's keep them occupied. The problem is that these people, and others (in other ship types) do not want to play as a team, they are selfish, only thinking of themselves. After being sunk in my Destroyer or Cruiser (because of the lack of BB support) I watch these BB drivers.... they are so afraid of getting hit that as soon as an enemy BB comes close enough, they turn and run... firing their aft guns which is usually ineffective, till they are run down and sunk. They KNOW it takes more than one hit to sink them, and they have DCP's ready but they just DON'T CARE. This is why I reckon when it comes, a Clan is the way to go... they should (and may well do) work as a team.. a solid force with DD's in the lead, followed by cruisers and then BB's... (with maybe a carrier in the rear) ... as it would be in real life (circa WW2) ... but as it is, a BB firing from 15+ Km away isn't going to hit anything. WoWS may be a team game, in name, but not in reality. BUT.... even when I take my BB into the thick of a fight, I don't get much support from the smaller ships anyhow... I had to plead for fire support 3 times, then send out and SOS when my BB faced most of the enemy fleet ALONE because the others thought it would be easier to take a base that the enemy didn't want to take just then.... (As for that battle.... I survived, sinking 3 cruisers and 1 BB) If WoWS seriously wants a team game, then they are going to have to roll out Clan battles faster as well as make changes to the other basic games .... Team battles do not exist... not only the coward BB's ... but I get headaches from keeping one eye on the enemy and the other on my "team" to make sure they don't ram me or fire torps while I'm in the way... sometimes, they even fire at allies for the "fun" of it... the problem is... some don;t care... they want fun but screw anyone else in their "team"... THAT is the problem.

I have always wondered what it would be like to mix and match ships in WoWS, but I imagine it would need to have limitations. Take a class of ship: Cruisers, and nation: Royal Navy... from the Caledon to say, the Fiji.... provided you pay (premium) you can take the hull of the Fiji, the armour of the Caledon, to torps and guns of the Leander, the engines of the Fiji..... You would end up with a ship capable of 35 - 40 knots .... Further, it allows to you drop one mod, like hydro thingie and add a second smoke canister.... Yeah, one hit and you'd be sunk... but mixing and matching would be fun... especially the speed. BUT..... probably impossible.... well, it WOULD BE impossible. But still nice to think about.... say, a ship with no guns, but each gun removed lets you add more torpedo tubes... or, remove torps and add all guns... I wonder if one day, they will allow mixing and matching?

The idea is that you shouldn't be able to "cheat" by buying a premium ship to get to the higher tiers... I for one wouldn't want to see a n00b (sorry, but its true in this case) be able to go from nought to 60 in zero seconds WITHOUT having learnt all the quirks of the preceding ships, new tech, and game play associated with working your way up the ranks.... its true when you don't even know how the tiers and premium ships work... In other words, I'd hate to be on your team, even with your premium ship, when you won't have the foggiest idea of the ships you are going up against. The game is designed to gradually accustom you to the game, so your way would be a disaster, not only for you, but your team mates. In the higher tiers, everyone, mostly, works as a team, and I'd hate to be playing along side anyone that hasn't worked their way up the ladder. Sorry if that offends you, but its the honest truth. Its a shame that WoWS sells premium ships to new players, if they can afford it, but I know they need to make money, I understand the need for it but that doesn't, in my book, make it right. I'm glad you cannot buy a normal higher tier ship thanks to your premium purchase, as that would simply ruin the game for everyone... ...even you.

I was in a game before and this idiot starting attacking any and all allies within range, I was going to return fire, but then thought twice. As for the cheating, they deserve any and all punishments going... including bans. I'm good enough without having to cheat to be able to fire and hit my target first go, most times... depending on the ship of course. If people cannot get the hang of the game, then... they must be morons.

Request a password reset.... Now, obvious question, if you regged an account on the EU server, you didn't try installing the NA or Asian server games... one account does NOT mean access to the other servers... So, make sure you actually did download the EU game...

Type in your password.... after a few failed attempts, it removed your password in case its a hacker... So, type in your new password and you're good to go...

People talking about others not knowing the tactics of torpedo warfare need to wake up to one or two facts. The game is hardly realistic.... In torpedo warfare, firing a torpedo with a allied ship in the way is permissible IF you shoot behind the allied ship AND it is moving away from you... depending on the distance, there is no way an allied ship can turn and walk into your torps. However.... as I said, this is not a realistic game. Bots stop and cosy up to enemy ships... either they fire at each other every now and then, or they fire at other targets further away... hardly realistic.... Further.... in a battle zone, any ship that actually stops is soon going to be dead.... not so in WoWS ... I have seen a BB go in reverse to try and get away from another BB ... not just a short distance, but many many K's... again, hardly realistic. Friendly fire incidents are still NOT common in real life... why? Because in real life, they don't just give anyone command of a warship.... OK, in game, we have commanders... but end of the day, the allied player in the next ship my be 13 years old and not give a damn about who he hits... or know how to avoid allied torps or even care... and bots are nothing if not kids.... THAT is the problem, either it needs to be fixed.... or those saying its our fault need to wake up... would we be complaining if we didn't care who we hit? The game devs need to come up with some training maps.... NO POINTS, NOTHING.... it has NO EFFECT ON YOUR SCORE OR GAME STATS.... It involves ONE enemy ship, a BB, that does not shoot.... the player is alone, and only has torps.... he must make runs at the enemy and hit him with torps as often as he can... Here is the kicker.... there other other bot ships that do not shoot and he must avoid them and not hit them with fire... he fails if he rams an ally OR hits him with torps... If he hits him with torps... or rams him.... the bots abuse him so he gets to know what allies will say to him should he screw up.... This map should be allowed to be played as often as the new player wants, till he gets to a certain rank... As for all players.... rank them.... from ENSIGN (complete n00b) to Admiral..... players SHOULD be ranked.... And if they want to have a ship with torps... then then need to prove they can handle it with the above "torp map" ... Just my thoughts, OH... and the game devs have got to make the bots a lot less stupid.

When the allied ship is moving away from your torps and I fire then, and ONLY then... I'm fairly confident that only a stupid retarded bot would slam it into reverse and hit one, ONE of my torpedoes.... as for the sitting side by side episode, that wasn't a torpedo incident, it was gun fire... and I did stop firing my guns, but then I was able to just raise my guns enough to shoot over the stupid bot... Please.... give me credit for something.... if I didn't care about hitting allies... would I be complaining about stupid bots???? No... I'd just sink the f**kers....
