And I suggest that everyone who quits the match just because he doesn't like the MM gets permanently banned from the game, since they evidently aren't much interested in playing anyway. What has philosophy got to do with this when you suggest everyone should act like some pampered 5 year old that's stomping his feet and screaming his lungs out at the local grocery shop because mum didn't buy you your favourite candy. What's needed here is a crash course in parenting and how to act like a functional adult and it's not the people telling you that you're idea is stupid that need that lesson.

Another hobby of Niore's, eh? -
Well, Omaha is still mostly casemate guns so of those 12 guns I believe it can still only put 8 on any single target so that wouldn't be such a glaring step down in firepower, but yeah like I already mentioned going 4x2 to 5x3 would be an insane performance jump. 4x3 looks most likely if WG has decided with a four turret design. Probably going for pure glass cannon design philosophy then, because they need to balance out that firepower somehow, at least in the middle tiers (high tiers probably going to be a bit tougher since they don't get the smoke or the zombie heal like the RN CLs).

[SCRUB] The Scrubs - Recruitment thingy
Aotearas replied to Loran_Battle's topic in Clan Recruitment
Why the hell is this listed under the series 'Girls und Panzer' when it's a naval artillery shell? Smells like scam. -
Ah, then probably the 4x2 design. Would make for a rather ostentatious powerjump to the Helena though, her being a St. Louis class ship with 5x3 ... but I don't see how tiering the Cleveland up to tier VIII would make much sense if you replace her at tier VI with just another 4x3 152mm cruiser. Hmm ...

If I'm not mistaken the big servercluster for WoWs EU region is in Luxembourg. So for an adhoc check you can just check your connection to a Luxembourg server. Personally I only had a single connection issue today when the game put me back to the log-in screen upon starting a battle, but that was it.

You wouldn't believe the amount of people who told me I suck and have no idea how the game works, then proudly refer to their 52% winrate and how I should just stfu and do as they say so I could get as good as they are. It's almost cute, like those tiny handbag dogs that are furiously yapping at a dog that's literally ten times as big as they are. Like "aww look, it can't tell how small it is" ... followed by the distinctive urge to punt the pipsqueak clean across the street.

I refer you to the original roadmap for the USN CLs: There is no Dallas class light cruiser that I could find, so it's probably a ship that only existed as a design. I read some things about a Scheme 8 design from 1936 which is a 3x3 152mm design which would fit rather nicely along existing light cruisers and thus seems most likely to make it into the game in some fashion. Think Cleveland with one of the back turrets missing.

Print screen afaik is the default key binding for ingame screenshots. Check your local WoWs directory for a screenshot folder. Damn, ninja'd.

Aotearas replied to Loran_Battle's topic in Clan Recruitment
It's not the destination, it's the road you've taken. We could easily boost the page count, hell I could do that alone ... however without a delicate touch all we'd achieve is getting the thread locked down for spam. Hmm ... maybe we should boost the TTT thread instead. You guys have been enjoying a surge of recruits each time I bumped it ...- 3,079 replies

The little pop-up only shows for two or three seconds after going back to port after a game, easy to miss. I myself didn't get to press my screenshot button in time to catch the original pop-up so I had to look through the port notifications to find it again. -
More like WG should work on their priorities. Same as the recent division window change. Came totally out of the blue with no discernable necessity for it, just a change for change's sake and one that arguably is worse than the iteration they had beforehand (which also got implemented without any testing for feedback unless no one on PTS tried to play in a division) ... Same as the "we're not going to introduce any more premium CVs until after the CV rework" and then introduced the Kaga, the Enterprise and disastrously rushed the Graf Zeppelin into the premium shop long before it was ready just to sell something in time for GamesCom and then had to withdraw it because it was royally FUBARed. Oh and apparently the year of the CV stuff wasn't a thing too and the CV rework has been postponed despite WG's word on not selling premium CVs until after they've been reworked ... Or how WG has been trying (allegedly) to adress the BB overpopulation after the release of the german BB line pushed the BB popularity into problematic territory, only to then release the RN BB line and a handful premium BBs ... It's save to say that WG is showing a clear pattern of having HORRIBLE development priorities. If WG should fix something, it's their own development process first and foremost.

Aotearas replied to Hanszeehock's topic in General Discussion
Watched my Karma actually rise up after a couple decent games, until ... How did that come about? Was I being a douchecanoe in chat? Shooting allies? Being AFK? Nawww, of course not: That's a whole lot of torpedo hits, wouldn't you say? At this point I'd want to graciously extend my sincereset thanks to the enemy ships that enabled me to perform that little achievement. If it weren't for the two Cesares and the Duke of York (!!!) to try and come around my little island one at a time within spitting distances where I had been sitting (most definately NOT hiding, I was shooting at ships enthusiastically, not even in smoke), none of my torpedoes would've ever had the reach to touch out and spread my love. Seriously, anyone who let's himself get torped by the Okhotnik's 4,5km range torpedoes bloody well deserved it. And then you get a game of multiple ships straight up suiciding into my torpedo walls, including a Duke of York of all things, a ship with hydro, pushing around a corner that he fully well knows is a DD sitting behind. So NATURALLY I get reported twice. People are so stupid ... Oh and the forum is still allergic to pictures, eh? In case the pictures don't show up and you want to see it: -

Faced @CLyDeThaMonKeY in a game today. Match went about as you'd expect when 80% of my team decide to press themselves around C, completely giving up map control. -
So, once again: Could @MrConway, @Tuccy, @Crysantos or @Kandly tell me why the previous division panel had to be changed and exactly how the new implementation was deemed superiour? Because there doesn't pass a single gaming session in divisions without someone complaining about the new division window and for good reasons: It minimizes after games, meaning you have to manually select it anew all the time. Even trimmed down to the absolute minimum it takes up a huge amount of space in port view and when minimized you have to bring it up again just to see what ships your mates are bringing. It's tied to the chat system which is barely working at the best of times and we already witnessed what happens if the chat server crashes ... people can't division up, can't get out of divisions and can't start games when in a division. Meanwhile the previous system was entirely sufficient. People on voice-coms not using the division chat could simply minimize it and that was that, whereas the ship selection window was discretely packed non-obstrusively in the port UI. It was also fully functional when the chat wasn't working (hint hint). So please, can we PLEASE have the old system back? The new one, for lack of charming descriptions, sucks balls.

@MrConway, @Sehales and @tagl1a in a division (Hindenburg and two Frances, I suppose one was Free and the other Vichy) swam across our Scrub division right on time for my very first ever Hsien Yang match. Took the chance to poke Conway about the division chat change before the action got hot. We won, despite literally two thirds of your team taking their sweet, sweet time sailing around C whilst @FlutterRage and myself defended the B cap in our poor bottom tier sheep. Mysteriously my port UI went missing after that game and when I restarted the game to fix that, it crashed entirely forcing another restart. -

Never heard of the chicken bearing test? Wonderful piece of USAF Honor Guard training tradition. And MMD is the abbreviation of the animation program (MikuMikuDance). -

Shameless repost: Alsom because why the hell not: -
Shouldn't be a wish as much as it ought to be simply common sense to not gate something like this behind an arbitrary cooldown. Limiting the other signal flags makes sense as you can (and would want to) play to actively get them. Don't think much people had fun if someone decided he needed more AA signal flags and played a dozen games in a AS Saipan to farm Clear Skies. But detonations ... people don't play to actively get those. And it's no great reward to get one, RNG decided to screw you and you went kablooey from whatever HP you had. Nothing quite like detonating from the very first shell that hits you at the start of the game, yay much engaging, such fun. Gating those anti-detonation signal flags just reeks of spiteful ignorance. I'm absolutely certain WG is aware of the fact you can only get the detonation reward once every 24hr despite the fact you can obviously detonate more than once in that time period. They're either too lazy to get rid of the cooldown, or simply don't care about the frustration players have when they detonate. I'm strongly leaning towards the latter considering where that whole "fun and engaging game mechanic" BS came from.

Aye, but you don't see what ships your divisionmates selected unless you have that window open.

Check in with @xXx_Blogis_xXx and @Loran_Battle, they handle the recruiting. In the meantime, feel free to hop onto our Scrub Community chat channel, plenty non-Scrubs hang around and there's more or less always someone present who you can play with. Just noticed you skipped a LOT of tiers with free XP. We tend to play on lots of different tiers as people are grinding up lines or just playing favourite ships so that might be a bit of a problem for you with fitting in though. Can't say what that means for recruiting as you're obviously not a potato.- 3,079 replies
