Skyllon

Only reason I can think of why WG did this is to let folks get more diamonds, which might have been impossible after hitting 12m mark.

Thank you, I will! Summer is about to start, lot of places to visit. Be back when this is over.

I was hoping they would not be active anywhere else but Yokosuka Port. I guess it is time to take a brake from game for the next 2 months... Don't feel like being forced to get this anime ****.

Nah... Just temperature and pressure.

It is great it shows overall damage done on first tab. Other then that, since I like simplicity, I couldn't care less...

Funny. Topis is about commemorative flag in game, yet everyone (almost) is hell bent on proving who won the battle... Truth is there was no decisive victory. Lives were lost on both sides. And lives of soldiers of both nations matter, so as both navies. There would be no Battle of Jutland without British, as well as without Germans.

I think he means penalty given to pink players for causing damage by accidental ramming of/by allied ship, that prolongs time of being pink.

Back in a day (after collapse of Soviet Union and even in early 2000s) adidas was almost exclusive chav brand (alongside with eg. BMW - not without the merit called Banditen Motor Wagen), wore proudly as a (one among many) symbol of social (wealth) status. Lot has changed since then and other brands replaced it by now, but it is still dominant in some parts of Eastern Europe.

Just my two eurocents. Weather effects on all maps and during entire battle - yes. Always - no. Weather impacting visibility - not with the current mechanics.

One still making too many ridiculous mistakes... <humor> Not to mention I'm also a player constantly being: hunted by bad teams, bullied by horrible MM, hated by RNG, oppressed by dispersion, and depressed with loosing streaks, sweared at by those I shoot at, sweared also by those that shoot at me, bullied by self proclaimed admirals, and stalked by pink ships. </humor> Edit:

I don't think you can address it in any way. Random battles will always be random battles. You take this problem away, you will still be left with many others, like half of the team chasing one lonely ship (effectively making themselves totally useless), destroyer packs with carrier fetish, or those banzai captains thinking it is great trade off to die just for one kill.

Well, I can actually think about couple more reasons that you mentioned, but I'm curious what are 'ghashpl' reasons. Thank you for the ideas though.

But what is the point in keeping ship that you don't play? It takes up the port slot and keeps you from heaving one more ship that you enjoy playing.

Yes, you are still left with 2 fighters. They roll the spare ones out of garage when necessary.

Similar topic was discussed not that long ago. http://forum.worldofwarships.eu/index.php?/topic/51569-magazine-detonation-remove-it-already/ There were couple of interesting ideas proposed if I remember correctly.

Main problem I have with posts like this is that we always lack so much information and listen to one side of the story... Anyway, does it really matter what he did or how he decided to play? I'm sure he had his reasons and probably just wanted to be left alone and be able to play in peace... He didn't rant, he was polite. I don't see the problem. Bottom line is that we will never know and - honestly - it doesn't matter. Let bygones be bygones. There is always next battle and next team.

It is his right to be useless and play as he pleases, isn't? There are players who want to co-op and those who don't. Just ignore next time those who don't want to support other players in game. Personaly I like when there is someone in battle who acts as a commander (as long as he knows what he is doing), but there are players who don't and that is their right to play as they want. It should not come to you as a surprise that with number of posts you make (and probably even more topics they cover - your achievements) there will be people fed up with it. It doesn't bother me personally but there are those who find it annoying... ...and if they read the forum, they might express their feelings in game.

What do you mean 'for what'? It is in 'auto' mode, right? Swith it to manual and you won't be charged. ;) On more serious note. Those are mooring costs obviously, but WG decided not to flood players with unnecessary details. ;)

Wow, people still don't know posting on forum requires nothing else but computer and access to the internet... Kind of scary to think what people need their balls for... For this very reason whenever I get bad teams and loose 3 or 4 times in a row I stop playing and come back either at different hour or day. Otherwise I risk frustration gets better of me and I might end up on youtube as the example of things that should not find their way to ingame chat. Win would be too much in my opinion, but some kind of reward for most valuable player would indeed be welcome. (Achievement maybe?)

Minimap changes are welcome, but... All permanent circles should be dotted. Now they are too much of a distraction. Numbers telling ranges should have option to be turned off. I don't see the point of heaving them at all to be honest. Ship is either in range or not. Doesn't matter if it is 10 or 20 km. Much more usefull information would be time to target. Last known position is welcome addition.

Flanks falling have nothing to do with MM but skill of players. I understand there might be times when ships composition is just superior on one flank or the other, but most of the time it is irrelevant. My definition of 'pretty balanced MM' is one that gives both teams same number of ships in each class, and Tiers don't vary much. Unless you play at hours when player base is very low or there are a lot of divisions (which is indeed problematic to handle for MM) most of the time I get fine MM. I'm not saying there is no place for improvement, but on large enough sample I can live with it. 'It's just a game' means people don't take it seriously and will play as they feel like. After all it is supposed to be entertainment so I hardly expect anyone to work together and obey someone else's orders just so couple of career players could win. Yes it is nice when it happens and I get the frustration when someone throws a match, but there is nothing anyone can do about it in random battles, except getting used to.

Although there is space for improvement most of the matches are pretty balanced IMO. You get crazy MM from time to time, but all in all it comes down to players and how they perform. Sometimes you get better teams and sometimes worse. I have a rule of thumb, if I get horrible teams or MM and loose twice in a row, I just stop playing and come back next day. Maybe try different hours or just focus only on team battles? After all it is just a game.

Last stand would be wasted on this ship IMO. Better take turret rotation, it is a must have on this ship.

As well as the Yamato, but as Historynerd said, it had nothing to do with torpedo exploding at the side of the ship, but ship capsizing which led to the magazine detonation. HMS Barham was sunk by the torpedo, not by detonation of its magazines. Torpedo warhead doesn't have energy needed to penetrate battleship side armour as well as several compartments and magazines armour. Only bombs or other ships projectiles were able to do that. You reminded me about other story though. New Orleans suffered magazine detonation due to torpedo strike. And survived it. Point being - magazine detonation doesn't always make ship travel vertically.

LOL, must be the reason why it happened to me three times yesterday. You know... Balance must exist in nature... Was in my Fuso and had this one lonely aircraft torpedo in water and thought 'this would be hilarious if it detonated me' - seconds later 'BOOM'. Laughed my a** off. I don't mind this personally but it should happen very rarely and only on lightly armoured ships. Battleship detonated with torpedo is unheard of. They didn't have energy to penetrate deep enough inside a hull to reach magazines. Also IMO there is enough randomness in the game already.
