Final total is 194 Crowns, 1390 Florins. In cash terms this equates to 11 760 000 in silver. *DEVILISH LAUGH* A Devil is sitting on my left shoulder telling me to use some of the surplus of gold doubloons that I have accumulated from all the premium ship bundles that I have bought. 4000 gold gets an extra 100 crowns. By using the conversion rules I could get 154 Crowns and 2510 Florins. i.e. enough for HMS Impossible. A Saint sitting on my right should is telling me "Don't do it. You've never played a single game in the reworked carriers (And only a handful cop games in the RTS ones. You'll ruin the game for everyone" Of course, as a good Catholic boy I am going to listen to the Saint. But it makes me feel uncomfortable to think that I could do what the devil tells me and be a useless member of the team just because WG's business goals come first.

I'm also in the situation where I have some coal ( 471 000) - but nothing immediately obvious to spend it on. Ships? - Got Des Moines but not a fan of the playstyle. Admire France so JB should be a candidate, but don't like the Main Battery reload gimmick. No point int low tier ships like Ybari that i would never play. Not interested in the upcoming IJN high-tier cruisers. Flags & Camo? Already have plenty and I think they are ludicrously overpriced in the Arsenal anyway. Captains? - Got loads of them. I have Eight captains with 14+ skill points who are already being effectively "wasted" Upgrades? - Got the ones that I want already Containers? - Already done the collections,. Another overpriced item

I get this sudden jumping forward effect while playtesting the new Russian Battlecruiser line.

Someone told them that they need the best quality tools in order to achieve balance. So from now on htey are only using gold-plated sledgehammers.

## I raised ticket ID 117807508 and the reply from the support team fobbed me off to come to this thread. ## Problem description in original ticket Re-stated in your preferred format 1. Description I was placed into a RANDOM battle when I had COOP selected in my main port screen. 2. Reproduction steps On the Main Port Screen, at the top, I had Coop battles selected. I ALWAYS have Coop battles selected. The last Random battle that I played was 1st March 2018 in Aigle. ( I know this because I kept a spreadsheet of Random battle results before I gave up on them.) While in Port I selected the "Combat Missions" page so that I could review my progress on todays Daily Missions. I then Selected "Daily Mission. Dardanelles. 1-1". After checking my progress, I pressed the "Continue Mission" button at the bottom of that mission's window, expecting to be taken into my next Co-op battle. 3. Result Instead I was taken directly into a RANDOM battle, with no opportunity whatsoever to leave the queue. 20 minutes of misery as I played my first ever tier 10 Random game This is obviously a bug, since I was actively browsing a mission which can be done in coop battles AND I had coop battle selected in the main port screen. 4. Expected result That I would be placed into a co-op battle 5. Technical details I run a plain vanilla WoWS setup. No mods whatsoever. I don't enjoy certain matchmaking, Epicenter Mode, or storms (due to my poor eyesight) but I grit my teeth and play. The risk of encountering these is "factored in". But I will not play Random Battles against my will. I loathe them. If placed in another random battle the best I can do is to act as a target to draw the enemy fire and protect my team - but that is all. Its not much but it is better than being AFK.

They might just as well call it "HMS Impossible"

*UPDATE* I've created a ticket highlighting a bug. I was taken into a Random Battle when I had Co-op selected. I went straight into battle with no time at all provided to press the "Leave Queue" button. I could have avoided this if I WG provided a decent amount of time for the player to press the "Leave Queue" button. (And before you ask. It was a horrible experience, even though I was not a disaster in it.)

Earlier this evening I pressed the battle button and realised that I had forgotten to add camo to my ship. "No worries", I thought, "I'll just leave the queue" Therefore I positioned the curser so that I could click the "Leave Queue" button as soon as it appeared. You can guess what happened. The queing screen appeared and I frantically clicked on the "Leave Queue" but was taken straight into battle. Please Wargaming, gives us a window of opportunity to quit the queue when we enter it by mistake. Show the queing screen for a minimum of, say, 5 seconds so that we have time to exit the queue.

From the article Advantages: Good penetration angles for AP shells, decent maneuverability, good concealment, and a varied selection of consumables Disadvantages: Extremely Weak armor, medium range of fire for her main battery, and a moderate rate of fire, and no HE option Targets: Destroyers and cruisers Should avoid: Battleships my modifications in bold italics Fiji, a particularly hated ship in my collection, along with other glass cannons. Just my preference, guys, neither right, nor wrong. YMMV

I feel your pain, Leo. Same for me. But look on the bright side. You are a good player in a good clan. Still plenty to smile about. "There is always someone worse of than yourself" - as the old saying goes. So whenever you feel depressed, just remember "Admiral_H_Nelson".

3) König Albert 4) Imperator Nikolai 5) König 6) Fuso 7) Scharnhorst 8) Tirpitz/Bismarck 9) Friedrich der Grosse 10) Grosser Kürfurst Hmm...seems to be a bit of a trend here. And just for fun, a least favourite list: 3) Kawachi 4) Myogi 5) Kongo 6) Prinz Eitel Friedrich 7) Colorado 8) Monarch/Vanguard (TIE) 9) Lion 10) Conqueror

In Asian countries do they perhaps treat April 26th like we do April 1st in Europe?

Given that CVs have never captured the imagination of the majority of players, this thread will be shorter than the CA/DD ones, and mainly populated by experts. Thus it bears close watching. (Not a CV bod myself of course, but I hope to learn something here)

So-called "supercrates". Now that's a feature that caused a world shortage of nerf-hammers since it was first introduced. Sure, they are better than regular crates in terms of rewards, but they are a pale shadow of what they once were. Make Supercrates Great Again!

You communicate very well . I must have misunderstood your question. TBH the tier 6 version of Pensacola has been a revelation after my struggles with the tier 7 version. It probably helps that I'm running George Doe (special EM & Loader skills) with this skill set: 1-PT; 1-Loader; 2-EM; 2-AR; 3-Demo Expert; 4-Concealment; These are the strengths that I like about this ship, and suit my playstyle - Like Nürnberg, Pensacola is also great in Operations, especially Aegis where its AP wreaks even more havoc! - Smallest turning circle of tier 6 cruisers - Excellent AP Alpha Strike capability (46k - only Graf Spee is higher with 50k) - Joint best HE Alpha Strike (18k) with best chance of fire (9%) - Best AA of tier 6 crusiers - second best HP after Graf Spee ODD FACT: For every 100 HP of damage that I do in Pensacola ("Pepsi-Max"), I only do 68 HP in Dallas ("Pepsi-Lite")

Out of 30 containers, 10 unique tokens and 20 duplicates. And ofc ZERO ship missions. I would say from feedback on my own thread and this one that this collection has the poorest drop rate of any collection so far.

A fair question deserves a fair answer. - Nürnberg is great in Operations, especially Aegis where the nice AP records many citadels on the bot cruisers in the early stages - 2nd Best range at tier 6 (16.5km to Budyonny 16.6km) and accurate with it - Nice torps for awkward situations or just YOLO - AA, Speed, maneuvrability, detectibility all competitive for the tier. - No Armour but that is normal for tier 6 - inbuilt IFHE for German cruisers - Best AP DPM (351k to 2nd best Dallas @ 226k) - Second best HE DPM (153k to best Dallas @155k) - Highest rate of fire per minute with 90 shots, which means that Nürnberg kills DDs quickly before they can inflict much damage in return. Dallas can get badly beaten up by ...anything even DDs - Superb at kiting - It's German! But this is just my opinion. Don't listen to me. I know nothing.

Here are the team hard at work.

I know that the mechanic has been around since Patch 0.7.11, but after a frustrating battle last night I feel I finally have to say something. Yes, I know that visibility should be reduced from normal to give it an atmospheric effect, but I cannot see a damn thing! If I can avoid the storm I can mitigate the effects, at least for a period - but if I get caught on the side of the map where the storm hits, it is effectively game over, and camo & flags wasted. I've had poor eyesight since birth and it has only gotten worse as I got older (Though my last eye check in December said that the deterioration had stabilised - which is good news). I would appreciate it if the visibility levels in the Thunderstorm Front could be significantly improved, for the benefit of all of us with bad eyesight. Improving the "real" visibility would not in any way affect the changes in detectability and dispersion that the Thunderstorm brings of course. The in-game reductions in visibility are atmospheric effects are just to aid immersion.

Tiers 1-3 = Chaos. No favourite. Tiers 9 & 10= Don't have the skills or temperament for high tier cruiser play 4=Phoenix 5=Königsberg 6=Nürnberg/Pensacola [TIE] (With a special shout of hatred for USS Dallas) 7=Flint 8=Mikhail Kutuzov (While weeping bitter tears for not being able to cope with Cleveland at tier 8)

You are probably correct - but I find Ops frustrating as Hell these days. I spend 20 minutes with 6 other potatoes and get the same reward in a defeat as I can get in one coop game in 5-to-6 minutes. "But you might win" I hear you say. Very, very rarely these days.

That's a profound thought. I have that feeling in so many ships, but struggled to put it into words. You said it far better than I ever could!

Well I'm going to put my head above the parapet and say this. I don't know what co-op games you guys are playing, but practically every game that I play is a mass slaughter of the bots. And it's certainly not because of any dazzling skills on my part .I'm mediocre almost to the point of contempt. Games are over super quick and the "challenge" is to try to inflict as much damage to the bots in the short time available. Its a race against the other players on the human team. DDs are king because of their alpha strike capability, but even then you only get the chance to fire one salvo of torps in many games. Part of this is due to missions which encourage better players to drop into co-op (which is very sensible for them to do).

Likewise the games needed to get the Tier THREE Dreadnought in December.

Not bothered about chaos at tiers 2,3,4. 5) Okhotnik 6) T-61 7) Gadjah Mada 8) Cossack 9) Kitakaze 10) Not Applicable
