At least some of the announcements like weekly missions are on the homepage one day before they are in the game. Not everything is bad.

Nope. But they are working on BB AP mechanics, they will go into ST soonTM.

As long as you stay at range yes. At 11 km ort below you get blapped by BBs easily no matter how fast you are.

That's when you are spotted. You have to be more careful to stay undetected and you can devastate BBs like there's no tomorrow.

XP scales with tier. It is easy to get 1600 at tier 8-10, you need an OK to good game at tier 6-7 and you need a killer game at tier 5 or below. As a beginner it's hard to complete all missions and you will miss out on some things (just like me and many others did when we were beginners).

A lot of people want their october crates (like yourself), that skews the numbers at tier 5 right now.

All lines are fun to play. Destroyers take a bit too much damage (especially from BB AP), therefore they require a bit more awareness. If you are able to adapt to the changes (all new captain skills, no more stealth-firing, recent smoke changes) you will be fine.

CE is not for staying undetected 24/7, it's for disengaging when you get focused. It is easier to push with CE because you have an easier out. The other use of it is ambush tactics. It's easier to delete a cruiser from 10, 11, 12 km than from 14 km.

NO! I think it was like that in alpha or closed beta (I wasn't around myself back then). Stop spreading this nonsense. All you can see is shell-tracers when a ship fires primary or secondary guns and AA tracers. You cannot see the ship itself.

There are Spanish and Portuguese speaking people on NA, so ... It's not as bad as you say on EU, most people talk English. The klingon as you see it is just chit-chat between people who recognized each other, it's not directed at you. Oh, and actually there is a lot of German and Polish players around. You don't notice them that much because they talk English most of the time. ;) €: That last part sounds so arrogant you could be German ...

You can hide, or you could buff your survivability with useful captain perks and ship modifications instead of wasting them on those firework skills. Just check your battle results, how many % of your damage is from secondaries?

You hide one of the best armor schemes in the game from the enemy so they can focus on your cruisers and DDs. The squishies die and you lose eventually like a full HP map border sniper. Where is the buff?

I play on NA but not too often, I've got a Pensacola and Mahan + other low tier ships. People talk more. People love to die, many games end in a 2 vs 2 or 3 vs 3. Even if you are at 900:100 points with 10:5 ships don't count on a victory. Your teammates will rush in and throw away their full hp ship for 2k more damage and the scores are even. That makes it easier to carry games: just survive and you have a good chance to win. The level of incompetence in some players is special on NA. Example: a Fletcher with target acquisition module and without concealment expert. (I out-spotted him with my Mahan ...) To be clear, that's not a question of intelligence. I believe NA players just don't care that much, it's just a game.

Clan battles are awesome. @ WG.

Better proposal: Can't you just play clan battles? Seriously, do it! It's fun.

@Scousemart I had the very same issue and I have found a solution. Edit your preferences.xml (in WoWS-folder), find CMD_ART_CAMERA (Ctrl-F if you use standard editor) and enter your desired key binding like so: <CMD_ART_CAMERA keyCode="KEY_MIDDLEMOUSE" index="1" /> I hope it helps.

@Dulgin Das ist ja das Schöne an den Clan-Gefechten: Jeder kann mitmachen und mit der Zeit kommt man in die passende Liga und kämpft mit gleich starken Gegnern. Das heißt Du wirst wahrscheinlich gegen Leute wie Dich antreten, die keine oder nur wenig High-Tier-Erfahrung haben. Dieser Modus eignet sich hervorragend dazu mehr über dieses Spiel zu lernen und besser zu werden, also solange es Dir Spaß macht spricht nichts dagegen. Man sollte nur schauen, dass man in einem passenden Clan ist (weder zu stark noch zu schwach).

Y'all forgot about all the unicums who got their yellow-turret Bismarcks as a gift a while back. What did you need to get that again? Was it tier 6? (I looked it up to make sure, it was tier 5+.)

Maybe you don't need to use defensive AA? Maybe try some other consumables? And especially after the GK died your cruisers had free reign, so ...

Das hat schon seine Richtigkeit, man will die Leute nicht noch mehr überfordern. Fahr einfach mal ne Runde mit 6 Randoms, dann weißt Du warum ...

@lup3s I bet the better teams could get away with this. Even with 20 km torps. Hydro doesn't really help when there is 105 torpedoes coming your way. Next up is 7 Khabarovsk squad burning down 1 by 1.

It would be better to let us choose the order of the consumables ship by ship, for example by dragging them around in the port. No need to change the keybindings then. I agree that this isn't game-breaking, but it would be a good quality-of-life improvement.

I play this game vanilla since ship names on the minimap were implemented. Even without mods it's not impossible to hit stuff in smoke, either to reset a cap, kill a low hp target or delete a british cruiser from full health. It is especially easy when you watch the target while it is getting shot at and hit: Aim at the hits. Now I would like to say a big thank you to OP for all upcoming hackusations and reports I will get in the future. Saying 'I play vanilla, I don't use any mods.' won't help. Such a filthy mod-user like me is obviously a big fat liar, isn't he? It's better to say nothing at all so I won't get a chat-ban. One more thing. I don't know why you show only one example when so many people use this mod. It's not like this was the only video in the entire internet were this mod is shown. All you did is give some lazy people a 'good' excuse for why they lose against OM/OMNI-players. They among other competitive players are the only reason why a potato like me even tries to shoot into smokes nowadays. It's bad style to 'thank' them with a thread like this one. @topic: I don't care if people play with this mod or not, it doesn't change much for me. However, I wouldn't mind to hear what WG thinks about this mod. If they don't want to give us a whitelist or blacklist for mods they should at least tell us their stance on the mods that the community finds to be dodgy.

Most likely a DD entered the cap. He collects cap points unseen while you try to reset the BB who doesn't have any or too little cap points (because he is resetted all the time). This is one of those tasks that you just happen to complete at some time. The campaign will run forever, no need to rush it.

Seeing what kinds of people are rank 1 and have a Black I kinda lost hope. I hope you guys are right and the leagues work out.
