    pink penalty long torps

    When I was grinding the European (Swedish) dd’s I went pink a few times till I realised what was happening with the torp range, since then I’ve been a lot more careful about releasing long range torps with open water behind the target, it’s something you just have to learn.

    Blapping CVs with Yama/Musashi: spotting plane

    As far as I can remember they did nothing about 899 divs but I do remember a 3 dd div getting a warning (2x Kidd’s and an Akizuki) purely because they wrote about their exploits hunting cv’s on Reddit which WG alleged was promoting intentional disruption (div focussed purely on killing the cv)

    An Opinion About Reporting In-Game

    Oh Lord not this again.... The reporting options are working just fine as a relief valve which needs no manpower or effort on Wargamings part. Many of the things people complain about are arbitrary anyway, don’t forget not everyone plays the game seriously or to a high standard, I’ve been reported for not joining obvious suicide lemming trains before, and I’m sure the members of said suicide lemming train were convinced I was in the wrong. Having humans judge what’s right and wrong is not just a waste of manpower but is also likely to lead to just as controversial decisions and arguments for WG, so why bother? (Also would you seriously want to do that job?). Also AI doing this task would be useless and a waste of development time. Karma has zero impact on you as a player, and for the real assholes there are replays and screenshots which do get acted upon for serious issues. I must admit I got distracted the other day by someone talking to me IRL while testing a secondary build Graf Zepplin in a Co Op game resulting in getting sunk early (no biggie it’s Co Op). Fully expected to see “You have been reported”, but instead it was “You have been complimented” (proving people love cv’s ), laughed my head off. Reporting system is working just fine.

    You guys think so small...Release the Kraken! (Or maybe even the Quaken) ?

    Question about RESEARCH POINTS?

    I have reset the Haragumo line twice now, supposedly the cheapest, and it does have the benefit of getting you very familiar with the line you re-grind, and the more times you do it the more experience you get on the captains. First one I did was for Russian cruisers when the line split, and I had Moskva available at tier X if I needed it, only thing I find slightly annoying is you don’t have the tier X ship till fully re-ground but then again I tend to use Haragumo to get credits rather than for clan battles etc. So not too bad. Might do Russian cruisers again, but not too fond of the play style.

    Question about RESEARCH POINTS?

    Can confirm Paolo Emilio is fun with a capital F, they should play the Jaws theme when you trigger the smoke and speed boost

    What Wows was, what to bring back

    Just a few weeks ago got cross dropped by a very good cv player while playing a Halland in a clan battle, think he was in an MVR, actually didn’t mind getting sunk, got me all nostalgic

    CV help how would you skill the captain with 21 points?

    Tried @Zuihou_Kai and @BLUB__BLUB build last night in co op with Kaga and it worked pretty well, 3 kills, used a 14 point capt so had to leave couple of skills off but shows promise.

    Tough choice, fps with open world rich story content, rigorously tested, or the mental equivalent of chewing gum with ships

    Santa containers "rigged": WG Chooses Your Santa Gift Ship

    I think you will find in most countries tipping the odds unfairly in the houses favour is regarded as scamming, you can use loaded dice, fixed roulette wheels, doctored slot machines, same applies to lotteries but if the gaming authorities catch you there will be heavy consequences. Gambling is legal in many places, but only when it is seen to be fair to the person playing.

    Santa's Containers: A Time of Gifts!

    Well 3 ships in this Christmas's dockyard event, forget the family you must grind and pay

    Share your Santa Loot Here!

    Yeah I got that No I have a certain budget for WoWs and I stick to that, I don't waste money on other stuff generally so it's my one vice moneywise, but it is before Christmas and I have other stuff to buy, may get some more later in the month purely for special signals which is what I'm mainly after this time of year. Been playing 5 years so i am more than aware of the chances of getting something good, just that I usually do rather better shipwise in both Black Friday and Santa boxes

    Share your Santa Loot Here!

    Just bought 20 medium, 165 camos, 75 special signals, 2000 doubs , and tier VI Makarov After the rubbish I got in Black Friday containers (mostly premium time) can't say I did well this year

    Black is not coming back?

    This is the same situation as when I was looking at Flint this morning, as far as I can see it used to be a good ship, but with IFHE changes and now Captain skills where it ends up is anyone's guess, we will have to wait and see. Will check how Black performs now, once it's out before committing any coal to it, just because a ship used to be good does not mean WG haven't nerfed the crap out of it or introduced other ships to make it irrelevant in the meantime. Not suprised it wasn't released now, they depend on sales, whether cash or in game currency and they want to hold something back for later.

    New Ships in Armory (0.9.11)

    Plymouth does not sound attractive at all, it's as if they were working on Belfast 43 and said "I know, lets do a tier X version for steel!!" "The ship is equipped with the Surveillance Radar, Smoke Generator, and Hydroacoustic Search consumables, but has a short firing range and weak armor. You can get her in exchange for 27,000 Steel." ..so for the price of a Stalingrad you can buy a ship with probably 10km radar, with AP only, and "weak armour" which can happily sit in smoke, against Russian Radar cruisers with icebreaker bows that will happily go nose in to say hello with HE outside it's firing range!! Think I will save my steel They sure are getting some mileage from the Belfast model aren't they? Belfast 43, Edinburgh and now this Always fancied a Flint after getting burned down by one years ago, but way too expensive for tier VII Got Hill in a Christmas box a few years ago, not a bad little dd but I wouldn't use coal for it, it's quite unremarkable

    I sense your influence in his teaching....

    Dont buy the Black Friday bundles...

    Looking at thread on the US forum it seems the people paying out for x25 + containers are the ones getting ships unless you are very lucky. Don't feel like forking over 81.99 Euros for reskinned ships WG have truly become a pure Whaling company

    Dont buy the Black Friday bundles...

    Probably find AC Valhalla is tied "exclusive" to Uplay and one other game store, had the same thing when Watchdogs Legion came out, was gonna be another 6 months till Steam got it

    Black ships and containers in premium shop

    Funny I always found the World of Warplanes forum friendlier than the Warships one, don't play World of tanks but it must be extremely toxic if it's worse than here lol Must be down to the various games player base size I guess

    Dont buy the Black Friday bundles...

    Not really, was bored and not spending money on anything else, plus I could afford it. Disappointing they dropped the ship drop levels to miser level, but at least it forewarns me to check what people get before buying any Christmas crates
  24. arcticstorm123

    Dont buy the Black Friday bundles...

    Yep I bought x6 Premium containers this morning, was just camos, premium time and free xp. In previous years you could bank on at least one ship, but WG have got meaner as time goes on, now they feed most of us crap they know we would never buy if we could see the contents, complete rip off this year! Guess it will save me money not buying Santa crates
