Totally agree..Got to Love the way the whole screen is blackened and blocked by a giant bright green circle...FFS!

Greating fellow captains, So since installing 0.8.0 I have no ability to lock on to any planes using the usual shift and mouse button to lock on to targets. On any ships. The new AA option works ok to switch priority fire from either side (of course you need like the whole firkin screen for that WG?) Just took the King George V for a spin and she didn't fire a single AA shot ? No it wasn't switched off. Hoods AA seems to be replaced by firing popcorn from an on board microwave and even the enemy cv queried it saying "what's up with the Hoods AA, not feeling it any more?!!" whilst ravaging me again...and again...and.... But the main issue is not being able to lock on to ANY enemy planes. When I looked at the Cruiser AA review by Noster this was still a thing. Has this been removed from the game? I can however lock on for secondary gun fire on selected ships as usual.... Anybody have any similar issues? ? PS, congratulations WG for another smooth bug free patch, well tested I see before launch as usual. Thank you for your replys as always. Ps. I had great difficulty finding any official information regards to the changes on ships regards to AA fire. Any information was all nearly all cv orientated.

Yup. Genius isn't it....Just had that exact seario in KH V. 2 cv's in game couldn't select the torp bombers from others and was actually detonated by torp drop. This is getting realy annoying fast. I just don't want to play this game the way it has been set up atm....

THis^^

Good question....not sure but it does look as if when you click and change you see it counting down/ up % and not a lot seems to happen during that re allocation time......

Yes I agree very poorly informed....

Ok.... so we have MORE CV players (more cv's in game) with now MORE types of planes they can throw at you eg bombs, Rockets and torpedo's and I take it WG idea of balance is to actually REMOVE the ability to prioritise which target to concentrate on eg wich is more of a threat to your ship??!!

I don't seem to be able to use manual lock on on AA fire, this goes for BB and Ca's. I click on the plane (as usual) that I want to target but there is no lock on, but if you lock on to a ship for secondary fire this works. Is AA manual targeting no longer a thing in 0.8.0 or do I have an issue? Does anyone have the same?

From tier VIII on they have some insane figures IMO..180 degrees in 30 seconds gun rotation speed, (even at tier X? Come on WG seriously?) big health/ damage pools, RNL BB fire chance if not higher oh and of course 15klm Radar on a battleship. Cos that's just what the game needs..... more frikin Radar at tier VIII and up! I wouldn't be surprised if the BB's of this games own nation will be of course OP as hell.

Ha ha that's quite funnny but this is still a whine thread...moving on

Agreed but If we didn't have radar at all.....People would have to learn how to play? This^^ So very true.

I wasn't aware there was a criteria for the reset? What if you have a full time job, a family and children to entertain? suddenly a week is nothing my friend. If gaming is your work or you belong to this industry then of course a week might be sufficient but depending on just how many changes occur in this next update will more than likely dictate how l9ong we need for some of us IMO. For those that have a lot of ships in port and those that are into collections, I don't see how a week can be sufficient TBH...

Yes of course, in fact I would like to take this opportunity to thank any future Cv players and esp WG for the new AA spec minotaur sitting in port. Could be the best update so far.

I belive so...was I think due to the op poor/old rig though.... Saw the post saw your answer but realised op had 12k battles and thought wtf? launched a piss take quadrouple face palm..... Then saw the date lol. Panic deleted... ( but still not sure as 12k battles at time of post.....or 12k now?)

edited. saw the original date of post. lol

Ahhh beat me to it, I was going to call this one "Bring out the gimp?" when your royally ed by your own team!

because of +2/-2 I assume?

I think most of us will agree that the current system in place is not making for particularly enjoyable game play as OP has stated ATM. The game has evolved quite a lot since day 1. The MM system/team selection system HAS NOT. (APART FROM INTRO OF +2/-2 WICH WAS INTRODUSED BECAUSE OF NUMBERS I BELIVE) We had an influx of new players a while back when this game was introduced in steam, We are still having an influx of new players who, as op has stated are at WG whim to buy premium ships and progress with silly amounts of xp available to progress faster than there skill set has progressed. Thus we have the issue. This comes uptime and time again with the same old arguments and the same old people saying "give up its never going to change?" Perhaps if you changed your tune and didn't give up so easily and we all made enough noise and enough POSITIVE sugestions maybe we could make a change regarding this.? Because it DOES need changing. STOP giving WG an excuse not to change things for the better just because you think you cant.

There is that.....which ironically is why we have so many of these threads. Not every person at tier VIII should be playing at tier VIII. Its a product of WG genius..

What time of the day was this? Did you notice how many players online at the time? This could be due simply to a lack of numbers and the required ships in the right tier bracket. It happens from time to time. My log ins are usually very quick.

As @gopher31 Said I think we need a bit more information as to what is happening here. What your saying doesn't make sense? You can heal Fire and flooding damage as well as light damage to hull but your heal points are accumulated form a damage ratio from your depleted HP pool. Your heal points are applied upon hitting repair but as the video shows if you don't use this at the right time it can be the difference between a good amount of hp recovered or hardly anything. The India Delta flag will increase the amount of hp recovered BY 20% when its applied to the ship. See here for all details concerning Repair party and its effects upon different ships and nations etc. http://wiki.wargaming.net/en/Ship:Repair_Party_Data

Omg That is just terrible...in any language lol...

Is it just me or has the way you have presented your Pointrant making you sound like ONE of those destructive people?

Hmmmm.... I read Women, Insane and Sent home This only applies at Christmas and after a bottle of wine

Wtf that doesn't make any sense and is usually used when you answer, no? Personally No im not enjoying this game at the moment. I don't want to be negative but its easily the worst I have seen it. Nearly every game there's no communication between anybody, its clear to see that no one knows what the they are doing, im continuously pulling myself out of position to make up for some idiot who's not spotting/capping, and when they do happen to be in the right place (dd wise) they smoke up immediately not realising that they cant spot in there own smoke!! If your not good enough to carry the whole flipping team how can you enjoy the fiasco your apart of? Its literally about who's got the crap'st team at the moment and that's not a good recipe for success or enjoyment. I HAD a real passion for this game wanted to improve and see my stats improve because of it, that would be reward enough for me but you can only do so much on your own IN A TEAM GAME, FACT.
