It would work in a "special" mode like the Halloween/April Fools ships etc do and I think it'd be great to have it as an "Operation Only" ship like the DD's in the original "Dynamo" etc (or available once you have earned over 1000 Stars in Ops or similar) but it couldn't be sold anymore, not with all the limitations people/WG would put on it i.e. not for PvP modes etc.

They seem to have borrowed a little "logic" upgrade from the Bot AI used in Operations but it's still nicely comfortable playing against them after a few games. EDIT - Played a lot more games now and I'm hugely disappointed by the with the new garbage "chicken" upgrade top the AI which now runs away - Thats Not What Co-Op Is For WG - I don''t play Co-Op to waste 10 minutes chasing a Bot across the map, I play BECAUSE the bots were aggressive, they charged at you and their aggression made the mode fun and exciting - Now it's a bull mode with bots pretending to be PvP players by running away and hiding and I'll be honest, I'm having very little enjoyment playing the game now because of this. In fact, if this new AI stays, I really can't see myself playing the game in another month or two due to the removal of what I found fun in the game, I just really don't know.

You could always try Co-Op for a week, just to get your WoWS fix but without the stress, I mean you're 96%+ guaranteed a win so you can ignore "winning" and just concentrate on having fun with the aggressive, pushing bots (no 20k m sniping, no toxicity etc).

I recommend using PingPlotter to map your connection to WG's servers when you have problems with a connection. It will show you exactly where the problem is and WG even have a page dedicated on how to use it - https://eu.wargaming.net/support/en/products/wot/article/10252/

Phhhffft, thats nothing - 6 kills, 202k damage, 27 plane kills, 777 Base XP & Premium time as well - Still lost money!!!!!! LOL, gotta love that T10 Co-Op "economy" Although TBF I don't use any "economy" flags which would make a difference, however I'm quite rich in credits so a few matches like these don't really hurt.

I never noticed the lack of ammo charge, cool!

Quite a lot of good info gets "hidden" in the announcements section - a section very rarely visited by most of us which makes me wonder why, when the Gameplay section is the busiest, a quick post by WG pointing people to the announcement section isn't used more often.

[Co-Op] - So back to normal in Co-Op land, this was a very fun game mainly because of the teamwork between myself and the Farragut, who played the DD role brilliantly, smoking friendlies, spotting targets etc while I provided him with AA cover and kept the bots away. My XP wouldn't have been so high without him so thanks @111lewis

Just tried the " AHANDTOTHEHELM " code and after 5-6 attempts with WG saying "there a technical difficulty" it finally went through - well thats saved me 60 tokens!

I meant "nothing can be done during the match" as I died but he stayed alive to keep playing (badly) whilst only turning Pink. Afterwards he was reported! I'd agree with this, turning Pink doesn't seem to be a stopping factor when these players are already playing Co-Op anyway and the chance of an outright ban is incredibly rare and never advertised by WG to show that they do ban people who cross the line.

Hi All, I think I found a few issues with WG's anniversary deals and discounts not being very clear as to what you get or may even be wrong. However I've been wrong about this before so can others check this out incase I'm wrong again - Elite XP to Doubloon discount - I think this one might be a mistake. The website shows that you get an Elite XP discount which, you would think was Elite Ship XP - yet in-game it's actually Elite Commander XP that is discounted which isn't made very clear at all as the website says nothing about Elite "Commander" XP - New Special Flags from Anniversary Crates - This one is just a bit confusing, while the text for the amount of new special signals you get from the Anniversary crates is correct where you get either 5 New or Old special signals or (rarely) 10 New signals However the accompanying graphic shows that you will get either 10 of the New Signals or 5 of only the Old signals (new ones not included), which, again, can be very confusing if English isn't your 1st language and you are relying on the graphic to let you know what's going on -

[Co-Op] - The number of players who have reached T10 but still can't understand that you have to SHOOT at bots is amazing - Both of these games were back to back defeats and both were caused by players with very questionable IQ levels! A Yamato Game where I literally broke my back trying to carry the team. I mean at T10 most players should be pretty good at the game by now right...........RIGHT??? MxStats says "Nope" - 4 humans who couldn't even buy a win in "Easy Mode" Co-Op when being carried by me! A Minotaur game where the 43% WR Dimitri Donskoi player decided that I was "ruining his game" by playing too well so he decided to sink me, leaving Druschel in the GK to try and win the game for us when the rest of the Bots on our team died but, again, there's only so much you can do when players who are so very poorly skilled decide to sink friendly ships for ruining their fun!

@Crysantos I would suggest that the game has always had two levels of Ship earned "regular XP" which are very different - "Regular XP" - the XP gained on a ship which CAN NOT be converted to Free XP as the ship is not "elite" status yet - i.e. the ship which is not yet full researched. "Elite Ship earned XP" - the XP gained after the ship is fully researched and this XP CAN be converted to Free XP. So I feel that calling these two wildly different forms of Ship XP the same thing (Regular XP) just adds more confusion to the situation, more probably to those players who have been playing since before the introduction of Commander XP, like myself. However, as an older player I realise that newer players, who have always had "Elite XP" meaning "Elite Commander XP", probably don't understand how or why I'm making this so difficult, sorry! PS - Thanks for updating the website regarding "Commander" XP!

@Crysantos Thanks for the update, anything (like adding "Commander" etc) which makes your website clearer for others is always helpful. As an aside, if my "elite" ship (because that is what the game calls it) has earned XP and I convert it to Free XP, I would consider that as "Converting Elite Ship XP to Free XP" and any Elite Commander XP I convert to Free XP as "Converting Elite Commander XP to Free XP" - Maybe using those two very specific terms on the website would make things clearer.

No you don't, you can get 5 of the "new" signals rather than 10 - I know right, Juanx has soooo much attitude for someone so poor at understanding.

I really have tried to be polite but by this point it's very obvious that you are just trolling people with your completely fictitious replies so I'll ignore you after this and in the future.

..........and after 1951, it was Argentinian not Allied, so it can't be used in an operation where only "allied" ships can be used, only the WW2 era Boise can which was Allied.

Because they are two different ships, just like the Boise and Julio are two different ships and not one single ship split by a date. You can't have One single ship with two different "nationalities" depending on what year you decide to pick, thats why WG give people two different ships! I always think the same on almost every Juanx post. Their attitude comes across as someone who is extremely negative towards people but I don't know whether thats because I'm a native English speaker and they may not be, which means I may be reading more into this and they are trying to be helpful but failing at the English side. Ah well that clears it up, he really toxic & unhelpful with a very poor attitude towards other players.

Hi Maxim, Just to add to your work (sorry!) the battle Type (domination, epic centre etc) has disappeared from the reports since the 6th August - Have WG removed something else from the logs again?

Without any "interference" from WG, like they did in the previous Clash, it was obvious that who ever won on the first day would win everything as all those people who tried Eagles on the first day and lost would swap to Sharks and the winning Sharks would stay as Sharks and not swap to the losing Eagles - meaning the loser on the first day had no chance of ever winning unless WG stepped in to "equalise" the teams like they did last time - which everyone complained about!

In-game what Nationality it was before 1951 doesn't count so it's forever Pan American - Just like the Makarov isn't a Nurnberg before 1945 or a Murmansk isn't an Omaha before 1944 when it comes to Nationality in-game etc.

[Co-Op] - Another two games I really enjoyed. It's almost Seal Clubbing putting a Human Des Moines against a T8 fleet with a majority of bots - And the Minotaurs AA is nothing for a T10 CV to laugh at! I got over 1000 base XP but screwed up the pic editing :(

I'm sure this is the 2nd or 3rd time we've had the same issue with a Paypal offer only being open to certain countries in around the last 8 months, so I'm surprised to see another thread about this as I thought it was common knowledge on here. At least the new promotion using Amazon Pay has more info regarding countries being left out - https://worldofwarships.eu/en/news/sales-and-deals/amazon-pay-promo-aug-2018/

[Co-Op] - Just finishing off the Go Navy event (earning last few loyalty points) and had two extremely good fun and well rewarded games in XP but dire Credits. In the Yamato our opnly DD left middle and went to my flank bringing 2-3 of the Bot team to my flank, so I brawled like a boss inc triple citadels on the Yamato for a kill and 2 secondary kills inc a combined secondary/main gun double strike. Despite this fantastic game I still lost 54K credits - Co-Op is NOT credit friendly PvP players, remember that when you infest T10 Co-Op games to do a mission! A Des Moines game where I got into B early and could AP broadside bots at 3-4km whilst removing everything the CV threw at me (no shocker there) but, as I got tunnel visioned onto the bot cruisers/Yamato I was killing, I neglected my AA or so I thought so I was therefore very pleasantly surprised when the end screen popped up and I saw both my Base XP and the number of planes downed!

Absolutely 100% agree, yet they can't even do something as basic as that, thats how bad some T8+ players are! Again, 100% Agree! Co-Op is the simplest game mode - Press "W" and shoot Pew Pew until you win - yet the amount of players who can't grasp even that most basic of tactics is amazing. I also think you're right about the vast majority of these people being "Random" players completing missions etc in "easy mode" Co-Op and using "Random" tactics, which are fairly useless for Co-Op in most cases. Another good example of T10 being too "easy" to play. Lots of people complained about T10 costs before the big economy change yet the idea, which worked well at the time, was that T10 was supposed to be expensive to make people play more T5-8 games to build their money up so they could then "earn the right" to play their T10- ships. With the economy change all that is gone and now T10 is "just another tier" with no feeling of "wow" any more - Like how no-one gets excited to see a Porsche any more because 9/10 times it's just a plain old Boxter.
