i keep getting the same problems with armoury, news, dockyard, item images from inventory, naval battles, clan pages in general and news items from launcher - pretty much anything that come from a web server. also problematic are updates, especially on the first day or two after an update. feels as if there are bandwidth issues wherever wg are hosting their games, specifically with web based services. the issue will only be solved when wg increase bandwidth for their web servers, otherwise it will continue to be very frustrating and reflect badly on the game in general

i like co-op and usually manage to have enjoyable games in it. matchmaking is generally fine. main problem i do have with co-op is torpedo mechanics. would suggest the following for co-op - remove white "aim here" pointer - no multiple reloads - single fire for all torp launchers - maybe have area towards back have to sail into to re-arm torps i think would make game more enjoyable for everyone (benham players can go f... themselves) and improve player skill. instead of sitting in smoke being told by your computer where to spam torps, might have to use brain a bit and figure out strategies for ambushes or getaways, think about shots and work with team mates. would also give other types of ships more influence on outcome of the battle, or at least more to do.

don't worry, is inexorably heading there...

well aren't you lucky they added this tech tree line then :D and "not as crap as i thought it would be" is not exactly a glowing recommendation. don't think it's too much of an ask to have a ship with something going for it

reminds me of baldrick and his rat au van :D

i don't think any of you are who wg had in mind when they designed the kansas. this ship is aimed squarely at two groups - people who have busy lives and like being able to do things like bringing the dog for a walk, cooking dinner, reading a book or even having a nap while playing wows at the same time. it's amazing what you can get accomplished in the time it takes the kansas to get near an enemy or reload - people of a nervous disposition. have plenty of excuses to let everyone else rush ahead into danger and have all that terribly nerve racking gameplay while you cruise gently past the calming scenery, and have enough time to have a quick lie down and a nice soothing cup of hot milk before the nasty big frightening guns go bang again anyone who actually enjoys playing the game, forget it

should have gotten it right to start off with. still haven't "fixed" fly strike win requirement. wg can do pretty much whatever they want, but should be very careful of treating player groups differently, especially as you will get random players who don't spend anything and co-op players who pay a good bit (money argument). would be re-assurance to co-op players if wg came out and stated what plan was for co-op but not holding breath. will have one less paying player now (me) until they do. pity, as do like the game, but if my money isn't good enough...

Just noticed fly strike win as well. Have read justifications for getting achievements as mission criteria which pretty much boil down to wg want people to play their preferred game mode ie random because money. I only play co-op mainly because I enjoy the slower pace, but also because am old, slow and crap in random. Random players aren't forced to play co-op so why should it be the other way around? If WG don't want people playing co-op, just get rid of the game mode. Uninstalling will save me time and money (premium, doubloons every once in a while, even an atlanta) and can move on to a different game where am not forced to play a particular way. Quick fix would be to have second tier of achievements with higher requirements for co-op mode. Anyway, hope they sort this. Did stages 1-3 because I wanted coal and the rewards were not bad, but would be nice to have chance to finish and get ship in co-op.
