nope... your hop number 1 is already at 230ms gcore is wargaming's network services provider, so the 10.255. addresses are within wargaming's responsibility. but as I said, your first ping is already at 230ms, so that's your connection.

yes, I had intermittent routing problems too

hmmmmmm... Budyonny... just started with it... so far, I am not impressed. Started with scoring nine (9) HE hits on Dunkerque without doing any damage (i.e. 0, ZERO). Then this thing is not manoeuverable at all, sitting duck for torp planes. And it takes citadels from almost any angle, and it being so slow to manoeuver makes it difficult to avoid enemy fire. But I kinda liked the Kirov. Had a battle in Kirov today where I shot down 77 planes and torp-sank both enemy carriers

kills do count in co-op

correct. the "score timer" is not what I am looking for.

just lost a battle that was about a 1 second difference in capping. is there an option somewhere to display a precise cap timer when the enemy is capping?

there was someone to defend our cap, but he got killed

capping means ships are in a cap and they need an amount of time to win by capping. I want to precisely see how much seconds the enemy needs to win by cap when he sits in the cap so I can decide if I should continue capping myself or not. I was in the situation where I sat in the enemy cap, and the enemy capped my cap. I had time to go to my cap but a dead teammate said I started capping before the enemy. But he was wrong. Unfortunately, from the capping progress graphics it was not possible to tell who was ahead in capping. the enemy won just when the progress on my own capping was completed. must have been one second difference.

yes, I saw that there is that mod, but apparently it doesn't have a cap timer either

well, any serious company would keep records of customer "winnings" and then show these records to their external audit company.

yeah, but the XP yield per hour is the most important to me.

now that I have finished directive 2, almost all requirements are base XP anyway.

yeah, that's not casual play. I reached the third directive today... I hope to have the Gorizia within the time limits (10 days?). should be doable.

wow - holiday XP boost expired today :-( Now that feels like a stab in the back, multiplies the XP grind x3 .. :-(

aye aye

after some battles, I think I like Fuso best. my cruisers have trouble getting the kills. EDIT: actually I take that back. Fuso has also trouble getting the kills. Fuso works when there aren't too many people online. Now, it seems all the killstealers are out :-/ EDIT2: I adapted my tactics. now I killsteal too. back to 2 kills average with the Fuso.

cool, didn't know

Operations are out of scope as they don't allow for directive completion. but thanks for the tips, I'll look at Ops later.

no job and no life, then it's possible. these grinds are toxic. I'll be happy if I get the gorizia.

yes, I obviously want something that counts toward the directives. so no ops for me during the event. thanks everyone for the suggestions. regarding the Fuso, it feels a bit sluggish. I liked the Kongo in that matter, but I sold it. but reading Normandie's stats I thought it could handle similar to the Kongo? I like fast, manoeuverable ships that hit hard over long distance. what I tried and liked so far: Kongo Scharnhorst I disliked: Furutaka because of short range and sluggish, Svietlana because of short range, etc. average: Emile Bertin, Königsberg, Aoba, Nürnberg, Kirov... all more or less the same, HE spam from a distance and AP close range on cruisers. I also like Jap DD, German DD, French DD ..... so let's forget operations, and come back to co-op what's the best ship in my current ships? I'm leaning toward Bretagne and that would get me the Normandie, but I'm not sure.

hmm... I could get what's after the Kirov

never tried that --- Co-op was interesting because I can rake in 3-4 kills per battle so get the directives missions done faster. How do operations work?

looking at the directives, it looks like I could be able to get the Gorizia if I grind a bit more and do more co-op battles.

I'm doing the same as you. I need 800.000 more points to finish stage 2, it looks like I will have finished stage 3 at the end of the event. I'm currently doing directive 2. I'm also grinding a lot of lines now, it is pleasantly fast with the Xmas bonuses. I have the same problem as you regarding the credits - did you think about selling of the less useful signals you get from completing missions? I have sold like for 10 million of stuff.

are there really DD unicums that are bad, not even average, with ALL other ship types? my point being WG made the CV completely OP, even players that are bad at WoWS can excel in CV recently I compared CV players with arty players in WoT, got criticized for it - I think the comparison is valid.
