Pah! You're a mere youngster compared to me. I have failing eye sight, RSI affected hands from working in the galleys of the Software Department, and need to see a psychiatrist (*) due to the fact that I am wasting too much of my dwindling time available on pointless activities (No names - no pack drill) (*) But can't afford the rates that those people charge.

While I believe that you are probably correct, this goes against Wargaming's stated objective of getting CVs played more. Didn't they propose that you might have THREE CVs per side at one time. We are no further forward. The Rework has failed IMHO. Wargaming should swallow their pride and go back and rework RTS carriers with the aid of skilled players.

Considering that you used the Bat Signal to two different (and dare I say respected) Wargaming officials, the lack of any response is extremely disappointing. Wargaming must have known that this situation would happen, surely?

You guys all know perfectly well of course that you can still get HMS Impossible Implacable for free. Take your (Probably free) HMS Furious and grind it like any other tier 6 ship in the regular tree. OMG I am defending Wargaming! I feel unclean. I need to take a shower.

This is a bug - it DOES do that, but it SHOULD NOT. I'm going to raise this as a bug for every patch until it gets fixed - and report progress to the forum.

Yeah.....Communications is not Wargaming's strong point . . . Along with Player Tutorials, Ship Balancing, Map Design, Support & Matchmaking Apart from those weaknesses they almost reach the heights of mediocrity in all other aspects.

I was after the direct link to "Inventory" (and hopefully "Summary") - but that's not quoted in thos posts and just typing the additional text "/res/gui_urls.xml" to the url in the main page does not work for me.

Because that would be too obvious.

Sorry to be a pain - but could you give me the full link for this please. (I'm an old git who doesn't understand the finer points of internet workings) Thanks for the tip!

I was not aware that you could exchange crowns for florins without loading the game and going to the Arsenal. This would be a timesaver for me. Please could you tell me how you get to the Arsenal though a browser. Thanks!

Because this is a game where the designers and developers are hooked on making the players frustrated at every opportunity. It's in the battle, it's in the progression through the tiers, it's in the Port UI, it's in the Arsenal.

**BREAKING NEWS*** World shortage of popcorn blamed on World of Warships forum I love this thread. Much more entertaining than playing the game (But then most things are)

Ah! Now I DO like the look of that! Thanks for posting!

Very pretty, but all these sort of camos do is drag me further and further from being immersed in the game. As for the Halloween ones, don't get me started......

I'm not having a go at you, Okitank. I'm sorry if I appeared to be attacking you. Truth is I'm having a very bad time in the game at the moment and it makes me angry and frustrated. "They're forced to play safe, yet, not forced to be useless the moment ennemies group up." - Well, I try to play safe but I end up being useless. I watch all these youtube videos about positioninag and using island cover, but when actually in a game it all goes out of my head. That's why us potatoes are so bad - we never learn anything properly. As for trying the new CVs. No. I've tried many PC-based games involving airplanes. I don't like them. I want to sail ships around the map, not fly planes about the sky. Not interested in Tanks either. I DO want a fair deal for Carriers - just not via preferential matchmaking.

What's up with this game lately? It goes down more times than a female pornstar.

Brilliant post! This is why the forum is much better than the game these days.

I'm now in the same situation as you. Given that the game is so full of it, I think they should just rename Word of Warships to "Frustration on Steroids".

If Wargaming are to be believed, there will be no more new directives. https://worldofwarships.eu/en/news/game-updates/update-081-british-squadrons/ You will be able to obtain Crowns, Florins, and Air Supply containers as rewards for completing Directives and chains of combat missions only during first three weeks of Update 0.8.1.

Before I reply I am aware that you are the messanger - so this is in no way an attack on your good self. My reply is addressed to Wargaming. How are we supposed to know this, FFS? This is a current thread about players who don't know what to do, or how the game works, This is a major indictment on Wargaming. I've never played any other online game apart from WoWS, so i had to find out everything by myself. I didn't even know what Free XP was all about, or how to control the ships. I had to use infor from 3rd parties.

I created a ticket about this. It happened to me. The response from WG support was that I should raise the issue as a bug in this forum thread.

What a nice reply in a forum often filled with nasty comments! A salute for your reply, and for the fact that I respect YOUR opinion also! It's a matter of taste really. The Fiji is a great, effective ship, but I just don't like the playstyle (And out of Patriotism I did grind all the way to Minotaur....and Conqueror...and Daring)

Please teach me your mind-reading skills, they may come in useful in real life day-to-day activities. How the HELL do you know how I feel when I am uptiered +2 in a cruiser? Your a good player - you are not seeing this from the point of view of the average potato (with failing eyesight and failing hands) And you know what - considering the torments that I've suffered over the years from carriers I am beginning not to care. By all means fix carriers and make them more fairly balanced but maybe you lot deserve to do a period of penance for a bit before Wargaming do that. If Wargaming have to start giving special matchmaking for a class - because they cannot fix it any other way - then something is very wrong. Very, very wrong.

How I am feeling about the game right now I cannot think of a least appropriate password. (I am not saying that to try to make a feeble joke, BTW. I am genuinely hacked off).

Excellent post from the OP! My reaction to this point is more muted, however: " Carrier tiers. Carriers should be given +1/-1 MM until the odd tier ships are introduced, then given MM equal to their tier only. No other ship class is either so hammered or hammering as a CV. No meaningful balance metrics can be gathered whilst the existing +2/-2 MM remains in force. " The problem I have with this - it is giving preferential treatment to one class, which already has a big surviviability advantage. Politically (in-game politics I am talking about), if you give carriers +1/-1 MM then you should do it for ALL ship types. It would make balancing the AA much easier also. I have not checked your stats but I suspect that you are a very good player. What you are feeling when uptiered in a carrier is exactly what us plebs feel when being uptiered by two levels in a cruiser.
