I'm an old fogey as well, 56. We are setting up a new clan, so its very very relaxed, we don't require that "talkie stuff" either... I think we are ... 75% fun and 25 work We don't have ranks, dammit, you might be a better player than I am so we all have an equal say! Come on over... http://s15.zetaboards.com/War_Board/index/

Updated Info..... We now have a FACE BOOK page.... search out WAR BOARD And we are on Twitter... here; https://twitter.com/War_Board we also have a YOUtube channel... https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCa4nX1fjc3IAX_h4MFEHlSw And if that wasn't enough, there is MORE on the way... Including competitions where you can win prizes, including PREMIUM SHIPS! (conditions apply) Come join us at our forums.... http://s15.zetaboards.com/War_Board/index/

WAR BOARD!!! Well..... I was so disappointed with what I was offered when I asked to join a clan, I started my own. read this and get ready to join. Firstly, the two clans I saw seem to be after bulk members, there is no community... no way to form friendships because those two things alone ARE what makes a clan. So, while the forums I am setting up IS hosted on a free server, it will, soon, be moved to its own domain on my server... and it will be run with a few very real things in mind... they are... 1) making friends is a given... 2) Community based in order to foster better a better understanding of other players 3) The site is based on the real Navy... we do not have a "lounge".... we will have a ward room! 4) tactics and advice will be posted to help our clan 5) discussions on warships is a must to save buying substandard ships 6) Helping clan members join clan divisions and teams and most importantly... TEAMSPEAK is NOT a requirement to speak to other clan members.... Size isn't important.... you are not there to serve the clan... the clan is there to serve you. Come join up.... big things are in store. http://s15.zetaboard...ar_Board/index/

WAR BOARD is very new, in fact, its still being set up. I was dismayed looking at other clans, they seem to focus on being the biggest and there is no interaction between members. War board has its focus on being super relaxed, a comrades in arms type clan, based on helping rather than dictating. And we couldn't care less if we had 5 members in the clan or 5 million.. fun comes first. http://s15.zetaboards.com/War_Board/index/

OK... firstly, I know these forums have trolls... and the moderators don't always moderate.... so lets get the basics done first. Yes, I really am 56 years old! Yes, I really am a Kiwi... but I was born in the Netherlands! (but I *do* live in New Zealand) makes it hard to play WoW when I am so far away but I screwed up when I first joined. I thought I could pick the server to play on once I joined.. So... Having a crappy VDSL (10Mbits down, 1Mbit up) means I want to join a clan where TEAM SPEAK is not a must.... I will get it if needed BUT I won't use it much. I do NOT play premium account..... OK... so the good points... I have a fleet of 14 ships, most tiers... I add a new ship every few weeks. I used to sell poorly performing ships once upon a time, but no more... the ships I have are all keepers, so I buy new slots when needed. I'm not a cautious player... and that is why I want a clan, or team... because while I take the fight to the enemy... my team mates are cowards, sorry... cautious... and hang out near the edges of the map (in co-op play... which is silly... the bots are stupid and easily sunk) I also play in random battles... but this is a new thing for me so I'm learning to be cautious and work with a team... What else... take me on, and you wont get a coward... but you will get a loyal team member. I'm open to the highest bidder...

I have replied to you via the PM system. The main aim is to have serious fun not not in a serious way. Thank you. As I explained tin85 via the PM system, I have MS and with it, double vision... a heart condition.. and... a whole heap more. I haven't done the site yet, setting it up, I mean, and for that, I'll say sorry and I'll get onto it tonight. (its 1:40pm here in NZ right now) see you there.

I should also mention that I want an underdog team.... because they always fight the hardest... like me. As I own my own hosting business, I can bring a website to the table.... including a clan forum....

I am reluctant to post here because of all the trolls. However... a number of bugs that I wish to report as well as a few ideas. The Kaiser is a good ship, however, once you leave the bridge view (to either go behind the ship view, or binocular view) it is impossible to get back to the bridge view. Some games have a screwed up mini map. No land masses or islands appear. It is like open ocean, however, other ships appear as do your gun range etc and bases... its a bit hard to play without knowing where you are. Its .... unfair.... that when I do everything right BUT someone else on your team rams you, I get fined as well. Couldn't you work the code so that if anything hits the front of your ship, then its obvious YOU rammed another ship and get fined! The offender must always ram another ship with his bow.... so HE should be punished. That isn't perfect, I know if a ship is reversing, he would hit his victim with the stern of his ship. BUT it would work in the majority of cases to have a "probe" on the front of the ship that tells the game who the rammer is.... right? As for the bots in the co-op games.... please fix them. I recently played one game where I was between the enemy ship and a bot team mate... he fired multiple torpedoes and some even hit me. The point is, its hard enough watching what the enemy is doing without having to also watch your own robot team mates... As for human team mates.... when they fire at me on purpose and then laugh about it... I really start to wonder why I pay good money to play this game when others really really ruin my game. Maybe you should start thinking of those that love this game more and looking after them instead of allowing those that ruin it for everyone to play it... having said that, watch the trolls come out and attack me... watch the so called moderators allow it to happen.... I really hope that doesn't happen this time. Lastly, Bot IQ is bordering on stupid. I mentioned the bot firing torps at me to attack an enemy, but there are other times... I have seen team mate bots sail up to an enemy ship and just sit there... so the only way I can attack the enemy is to attack the team bot as well, and I get fined for that.... and most times a team mate bot fires at me... there is no fine.... Thanks for reading. EDIT: Actually, reading other posts, I don't think the game devs give a toss what we think, or about our ideas, or bug reports.... I mean, it they did, then why not say so, thank people for their input.... or do they just want our money???

The Kaiser is very hard to play as when it starts, its good... I have the bridge view... BUT.... zoom out or in and from that point onwards, I can never get back to the bridge view, its either viewed from behind the Kaiser or zoomed view... makes it very hard to play, in fact, my ship was on fire, so couldn't zoom out, had to stay in the zoomed in position... The net result was that I fired at, and sunk what I thought was an enemy ship, but it was an ally and he was in front of the enemy... and now, I am pink! Is there a fix for this... its the ONLY ship that doesn't give me the bridge view.....

Not sure if this is where this goes, But I'll post in the German battleships section as well. The Kaiser is very hard to play as when it starts, its good... I have the bridge view... BUT.... zoon out or in and from that point onwards, I can never get back to the bridge view, its either viewed from behind the Kaiser or zoomed view... makes it very hard to play, in fact, my ship was on fire, so couldn't zoom out, had to stay in the zoomed in position...

So, last battle, my Cleveland was doing very well.... till I followed a stupid bot into a channel, he suddenly turns and fires three torpedoes into an enemy ship behind me, at point blank range... 60% damage.... NOW.... I spend good money on this game, in this game... so I'm not free loading... the bots are stupid... they are owned by the game developers... I suspect they are made stupid on purpose... either way, YOU are responsible! Every time I play a co-op game and the bots act stupid, YOU are wasting my money. What have I seen the bots do.... snuggle up to an enemy warship and stop... they do not fire on the enemy.... so anyone on my team shooting at the enemy cannot help but shoot an ally... they are fined.... a PITTANCE..... Till you.... idiots..... fix the bots so they do not act stupidly, then the fines should not be enforced when hitting one of the bots... they ASK to be hit.... and if they stupidly fire torpedoes at an ally, point blank range or whatever... then the fines they pay to the human must be 100 times the normal fine... THAT makes it fair and it gives YOU the incentive to fix them... Either way..... there should be an option for the human to decide if he wants to play with bots or not.... I DO NOT! Further.... if this happens again, I shall demand all the money back that I have paid into this game... plus interest... and you can shove this game.... its a pity, its a good game but the bots are far too stupid.... FIX IT!!!!! If my premium ships are sunk by allied bots... then there will be hell to pay! I bought them for a better chance to survive... fair enough if the enemy hits you, but your allies???? I do NOT want to play with bots on my team ever again.

Just encountered a PINKY in game, as soon as the game started, he started firing torpedoes and guns at his own team. Needless to say, I'd like the idiot banned... so... HOW do I complain, without mentioning names in public here?

Count me in, I reckon a clan will work better than some of these Tkers I have encountered. Gimmie a yell, in game.

I haven't played for about a month, the other day, it did a massive download to update the game, went to play it today and cannot log in... Any ideas as to what is going on.... I try to click LOG IN but it keeps ticking or unticking the "save password" box...\ UPDATE::: I did get in, but the game is.... screwed up. The mouse pointer has to be below the option before it highlights, and some options cannot be selected for that reason... REALLY REALLY unplayable.

Yeah, I altered the video settings and that fixed it... Very strange and annoying bug. Thanks.

For starters, it infuriates me when another player doesn't look where he is going and rams me. It is hard to slow down or turn in one of these monsters (Battleship), so its hugely unfair that I am also fined... so, seeing as no damage is actually done to either ship, why have fines anyhow? A fine that punishes both the guilty and the innocent seems like injustice, not justice. As for a TK situation... I was in my destroyer getting close to my victim as I always do when my team mate behind me, also in a destroyer, fired his torpedoes. I was sunk. So, I asked him,WHY? His answer, eventually, was that "You were between me and the target, what was I supposed to do?" ...... duhhhhh.... not fire your torpedoes. This is supposed to be a team game, but some do not, or cannot understand that.... SO.... the fine for a TK should be so great that the offender will REALLY think twice before acting stupid.... BUT.... I know accidents do happen... the fine shouldn't be that high to discourage playing. The fine for a TK is not enough... players, as I know, would be happy to sink you just "for the LOLs"... that is not right. When driving a destroyer, I am not really the one in command.... the game designers are. Let me explain.... at times, I want to hide very close to the shoreline of an island, then come running out and fire torpedoes... only... as I close in on the island, the game veers me away from hitting the island... why? Am I not in command? Its not like any damage is done if i do hit the island.... and worse, in a battleship, when its starts to veer away, ruins my aim as some of the turrets cannot line up... So, who is in command? this "auto island avoiding" feature should be done away with... besides, even IF the damage caused was ever put into the game, then it would teach people to keep an eye on the mini map AND holding down the right mouse button evey now and then to keep an eye out for obstacles... right?

No, because I look where I am going.... in over 200 battles.... I think I have only ever rammed another ship 4 times.... each time, I kicked myself and said sorry.... out of those 200 battles... I have been rammed by others at least 30 times.... and how dare you suggest I am also at fault when I never said any such thing. Please.... just don;t post any more. Its obvious you just want to start a fight, and I want no part of it. Troll be gone. BTW.... read what I said... you state the obvious... its what I said, about using the mini map... either you really are a troll... or.......

Not sure where you are getting your information, but I fight at least 10 battles a day.... you say 6? I call your bluff....
