Well I've tried twice to win my 1st game of the day in my Molotov yet both times the teams are just utter weekend-warrior filled garbage and both failed for the exact same reason - the team stays behind the Raptor and WILL NOT shoot at enemy ships, with DD's not scouting, cruisers hiding in smoke or hiding with the BB's behind islands etc. The game is becoming a low skilled bore recently and even co-op, the only mode stopping me quitting, is getting worse. Whether it's new Steam people, old idiots or just "not fussed, it;'s only a game" people this game is sinking rapidly under the weight of poor players. EDIT - Unbelievable - now it's three loses with EXACTLY the same problem - Morons park behind the Raptor at the mid-way point and then do nothing, letting the Raptor be the first ship to leave the base and get ambushed - EVERY SINGLE TIME!!!!

Yes, absolutely free, they cost nothing in monetary terms and only "cost" time which, because you like the game, isn't a negative is it? As above , they cost nothing, only time playing a game I really enjoy. Plus, you also play the game daily, so the comment above really applies to yourself too. Do you not like the game or the time you spend playing it? So no discussion where we can both give opinions and maybe start to change the other persons thoughts with a rational argument, instead we just go into personal attacks, right? Anyway, as said before, if you don't like what WG have done you can either quit playing or stop complaining about something which doesn't effect you - If you quit WG are denied players numbers and might see an actual negative effect from their marketing decision plus you get a free Ship, but be honest with yourself, thats not going to happen is it. Oh you'll still complain and say "Grrrr WG" yet then keeping playing just like all the rest and why - because you like the game despite apparently thinking is a negative use of your time from what you said in the middle quote above. I do however realise that people get heavily invested in their feelings once "money" (real or imagined) gets involved and that makes it highly unlikely that anything I said will make much/any difference to you or the many people on here who obviously believe I'm wrong and instead is more likely to get bogged down in a "me vs you" discussion which doesn't benefit either the forum or each other so this will be my last replay on this thread, just to allow it to return to it's original point. PS As a much older player It does seem to be sad that the "modern" way is to demand things (or want others to stop getting things) because someone else (who got nothing while they were getting stuff) now gets something free - I find it all very infantile, like a child screaming "I want!!!" but that just my opinion, not fact.

Or..................................... You played the game constantly for 3 months? Wow you got 3 months of XP, credits, new ships to unlock and play, free premium Captains, a free T3 premium ship, lots of new missions/scenarios, dozens of containers with maybe even a few super-containers, Space Battles and even a new Free XP Ship etc! You didn't play for 3 months? Here, have t8 premium for free to try and make you stay playing the game & increasing the player base so queues get even shorter! There's two sides to every issue and I side with WG on this one. If you want a single free ship then instead of complaining, just quit playing for 3-6 months (missing out on all the above stuff), it's simple really!

Someone on Reddits posted this which maybe a fix for your issue - "We had this issue too, until we turned off 'auto fill division" It may be worth a try.

Hi WG, the latest "Weekly Mission" info you've given in-game is wrong - The scenario "mission" challenge is for Raptor Rescue starting on the 2nd Well today is the 2nd and the Scenario in-game is still Killer Whale Any chance you could clear this up @MrConway or other WG person. After both this issue and the incorrect German Captain Skills info yesterday, I hope we're not starting to return towards the "bad old days" of poor comms at WG EU as you've been very good until recently.

Thanks for the clarification, no apologies needed. I'm just glad to see it was an actual Ooops which can be corrected rather than, as some here think, a deliberate choice.

The "mission" is for everyone, nowhere in any single page, picture or image does it say "Divisions Only" however it does say that the in-game Scenario should now be Raptor Rescue according to the dates/times given (Starting 8am 2nd May). Pretty simple really despite the mental gymnastics people carry-out.

Not according to their website - As I mentioned, it looks more like yet another WGEU comms mess-up unfortunately

Not to be rude (so sorry if it comes across that way) but if you don't know anything about the very well known problem the OP has, which was a confirmed bug, why did you reply?

Because he thinks it's the well known Memory Leak issue which WG said was a bug which they said they had fixed, or didn't you know about that?

"A Suffusion of Yellow"

Its no great surprise. T8+ BB's have now become the "jack of all trades" that cruisers used to be, only they have much bigger health and heals, so why would you play the lone Mogami or New Orleans anymore if you know you will be facing 3-4 BB's?

just swapped in my highest point captain for a test run TBH

@ElektroGiant - This is mine from a Co-Op game a few minutes ago and the signals work OK. PS Free XP mouse over - IT'S TRUE!!!!!!!!!! I never knew that!

Yeah, I think once you're "on the list" you turn pink much more easily than those who aren't but do the same damage. Like I said, all my own fault for causing damage whilst trying to help save team mates so I'll not bother from now on and let them die instead to get myself off this "bad boy" list.

[Co-Op] - First game in my new Yubari with a 19 point DD captain (Kami/Shima) and while the gun power is absolutely garbage most of the time, the torps are very strong. I also didn't feel like the Def AA was very good during the game but the scoreboard doesn't lie, not bad for a T4 cruiser.

Sigh, just turned pink again! Haven't been pink in months and this new system arrives and I've been Pink 3 times now in 2 days and every.....single..........time it's because I'm trying to save a team mate from dying by killing the ship that would have killed them but causing the friendly a small amount of damage doing so. This one was Okhotnik torps against a full health Emile B which was chasing a low health friendly DD who, after missing his torp, swung back on the other side of the EB and, while 2 of my torps killed the EB, the last remaining torp skimmed the back of the EB and the Clemson ran into it. I apologised and he was happy as it did very little damage to his saturated ship but it's still infuriating. So from now on you team mates, you can all die from all I care, I'm fed up of going Pink trying to save you!

It does seem much more sensitive now. I got pink twice in one day (patch release day) playing Co-Op, once for a 326hp HE hit from my Okhotnik on a friendly DD ( 2 games pink ) and once for 5500hp hit (2x AP) from my Des Moines (5 games pink) - Both as I was aiming at a ship when a friendly was sailing past it and the dispersion carried my shells past the target into the friendly. Both were my fault as I should have waited or, more likely, paid more attention to what my team mates were doing with too much zoomed in shooting, not enough looking around. However there are sometimes when you just "have" to take the shot to "save" a team mate i.e. a low health Cruiser/DD about to torp a friendly from point blank as they pass each other (or ram) and you can sink them with 1 volley which will prevent them sinking your team mate but "may" accidentally hit them with 1-2 shells whilst saving them etc, although thats a pretty rare situation TBF.

Hi all, Two Brothers is the worst possible map for Co-Op as an entire game can be wasted if the Bots decide to sail on the opposite flank to you and there is nothing you can do about it for at least 5+ minutes meaning, for Co-Op, the game will be almost over. Attached is my last game, not 1 single bot out of 8 sailed on my side of the map and it took nearly 7 minutes from the start to sail into a position to finally shoot at anything, just in time for 4 salvos (1 minute of shooting at stern on BB's) before the game ended which just isn't fun for anyone (or the Fuso which was following me) however someone of the "good side" in a Bayern still did worse than me (no idea how). Is there any way you can either adjust the bots route for this map to at least try and make the map more usable or, and this would be my preference, just remove it from rotation as it does not suit Co-Op as it current stands.

This thread is now seems to be getting replies from people who rarely play Co-Op (understandable that most are PvP players) and therefore don't/won't understand what the problem is so I'll not reply again, it's just not worth the hassle of trying to explain why this is a problem in a mode that some players just don't care about. I understand though, I wouldn't care about the latest PvP problems but I wouldn't join a PvP issues thread just to tell the OP that everything is fine in a game mode I rarely play but thats just me, I'm a nice guy.

[Co-Op] - Had a huge brawl in the middle of the B cap against 2 Yamatos and a Bismarck whilst being torped and bombed by the CV, such epic fun!!!!

In randoms the matches last much longer so there is always time to correct your position, most Co-Op games are over with-in 6-8 minutes, so a wrong choice on which side to sail of this map wrecks the whole game. You can do that if you want to play the game in a boring way. Instead try charging at them like I do, it's a huge amount of fun!

[Co-Op] - I'm really happy WG decided to add more CV's into the Co-Op MM as it seems plane kills are quite rewarding in XP!!! I started in the top right of the map and sailed into A to support our DD whilst taking out 2 DD's and a Neptune alone, harassing a Tirpitz in the Cap and keeping all the CV's air attacks at bay before a Bismarck decided to push into the Cap so I torped him point blank before heading off to the CV who was in the bottom left of the map and kept even more air attacks away from the DD I had been protecting all the way from A.

[Co-Op] - Repeated my highest ever kill number in a Co-Op again, this time in the Okhotnik. I happened to pick the right ship on the right map with the right team-mates (all went around the island instead of through the middle) so it was more due to luck in getting the right conditions rather than "all" skill As you can imagine with 12 hard hitting torps every 40 seconds, if you position correctly and use your torp launchers at the correct time you can almost always have 3 torps in the water heading to the Bots constantly. As an aside I still think that, now we have PvE "medals" in Scenarios, it'd be a good idea to introduce zero reward (no signals) rewards for Co-Op too!

37 in a Cleveland which was chasing down the CV hence the focusing, which was a bad idea for him and great for my XP!
