    Achievements

    I think there should be achievements for Co-Op, just like those you get them from Operations, only they should be custom-made to suit Co-Op AND have no rewards (just like the Ops ones) because I think killing 5 bots or doing 150k damage, or doing 50k fire damage etc is still hard when there is only 9 enemy ships and they die very quickly meaning you have usually 5-7 minutes to get stuff done. I think that would be a fair outcome.

    Collector's Club Launch

    Having only just got my 250 ship emblem a few weeks ago I think I made my feelings quite clear in the thread in the Gameplay Section but I'll repeat it here - It case that isn't clear enough - I could understand (but not approve) if ALL the 30+ emblems were being remade like this, but to only redesign the Ship Collectors AND make them so bloody ugly is an insult to the hard work and dedication that players have made to be able to keep so many ships. The Art/3D Modelling department have, until now, been the last teams to still be producing fantastic work without WG's management screwing everything up for them - until now. If I could find which ever "person" at WG decided to change these emblems I would take their mother out for a delicious seafood dinner and then never call her again!

    The Collectors Club Emblems are Changing

    I vented my disgust at these filthy pieces of on the Reddit thread about them. I've got the current 250 ship Emblem because I really like it, whereas this lump of fetid dog is a 'ing disgrace for the amount of effort people put in to get 250+ ships. When these putrid, stinking abominations are put on the Live Server, I'll be selling the ships I don't regularly use because the only reason I kept them was for the current emblem, which now appears to have been redesigned by a blind 104 year old who repeatedly smashed their face into an etch-a-sketch whilst being sat in a working 'ing blender. TL:DR - not a fan really.

    Strange players

    In a DD I've been shot at by a friendly Atlanta for about 45 seconds for the crime of not going where they wanted me to go - In Co-Op of all places

    Random - Time for change?

    Firstly I don't think WR is a good enough metric to decide how good a player is but, as we have to use it how about we adapt the idea of WOT's 3-5-7 MM system but make it WR based i.e. Max 2 players per side with >60% WR 6 or more players per side with 47% to 60% WR Max 4 players per side with <47% WR If a match can't be made with these limits after 3 minutes then the "old" MM gets used instead. That way the number of "extreme" WR players (either good or bad) is limited and the WR of each team is roughly equalised, making for more "equal" games rather than so many blow-outs..

    enemy bot runs away in coop games

    This random change in Co-Op Bot AI behaviour happens every so often as WG mess about with AI stuff like adding "Operations" Bot AI levels to the Submarine testing etc.

    What is your Favorite STEEL Ship????

    I got the Flint as I love the Atlanta playstyle but my next ships would be Stalingrad. Any ship so heavily used in "competitive" play and therefore proven to be one of the best ships in-game is a "must get" I would suggest, just like the Venezia is right now.
  9. As DFens_666 mentioned, WG did some internal testing where the radar/sonar worked like you mentioned and WG didn't like it, so we're stuck with the current system.

    The real problem with the Dockyard might surprise you

    LITERALLY UNPLAYABLE WG, LITERALLY!!!!!!
  12. Using a Gigabyte Gaming Laptop with 7700k at stock clocks and GTX1070 Mobile at stock clocks. With the following settings and Nvidia Control Panel set to defaults I'm hitting the GameEngine limit of 75fps and don't dip below that. However some patch between March and June (when I stopped playing) "broke" the tracer effect so now I see a nice round orange/white ball, but the "trail" behind it is a flat 2D sprite which it wasn't before, so instead of the trail looking "round" or 3D like these Sansonetti ones - They look like they have a flat line through them like these (which rotates as the shell spins) with a much wider trail which looks 2D. I'm using a vanilla install (no mods), latest drivers etc, "Repair" option used in WGC etc, and it's still there, but it only happened recently and nothing has changed with my laptop setting or game settings since Jan 2018 when I bought the Laptop other than keeping the Nvidia drivers upto date!

    What purchases have you enjoyed the most?

    The Atlanta way back 2016 was my first premium ship (bought alongside the Atago and MK I think) and Ive enjoyed playing it ever since. I was the pinnacle of "newbie buying T8 and can't figure out why I lose so much" way back then, I've not got much better since mind
  14. Because of the game engine they can't stop radar or hydro from going through terrain. Until they change over from the BigWorld engine to another much newer engine (like WoT did) the problem will remain. IIRC in a Q&A on Reddit (and I may be wrong) the way Sub_Oct said that the radar/hydro works is that they use a modification of the "Assured Detection - AD" mechanic (the one that auto-detects at 2km) which also sees through islands. So when they modified the AD mechanic for Radar/Hydro then they are also given that same "unlimited" line of sight through islands, smoke etc that AD gets.

    worst decision you made today?

    Logging in!!! Played 1 sub game which lasted under 5 minutes. I got the only kill on my team (gunned a DD down) and we lost 8 ships to the enemies 1. I had no-idea humans were such bad players but when you see 5 out of the 6 humans on my side all coming lower on XP leaderboard than the lowest scoring bot on my team I think it's fully time Skynet took over! Just imagine that, just 1 single human (me) top then 6 bots, then 5 humans - Pathetic! Logged off immediately.

    armory

    I think you've got that a bit confused there - As Firefox opened the Link OK but the in-game "browser" doesn't, that confirms that something on your PC is blocking whatever the "built into the game" browser that wowslauncher.exe uses from accessing the website which means it's more likely to be a firewall issue blocking the in-game browser. One way to prove it is or isn't the Firewall is to delete WOWS launcher from your Windows Defender Firewall (my Windows 10 screen below) by clicking "Change Settings" then removing all WOWS entries. Then, depending on your IT knowledge levels, either run WoWS and let the firewall ask you what to do about the "new" game or, if you are more IT-minded, add the game yourself by selecting "Allow Another App" browsing to your WOWS folder and selecting wowslauncher.exe and selecting the Network type to both Private and Public. Worst case it solves nothing but it confirms that the problem is 100% not the firewall should anyone else ask

    armory

    @humpty_1 - The armoury just opens an ingame browser to https://armory.worldofwarships.eu/en/ (EU server) so try that link in your normal browser first (firefox/chrome/edge etc). If that works but ingame doesn't then it may be a firewall issue blocking WoWS.exe from accessing that site so make sure the firewall is fully open for WOWS.

    why is winrate system a real shame for WG?

    Without wishing to sound like a technically inept Grandad - Errrrrrrr HELP!!!!! I found my page but I don't speak Russian, I can't see any boxes to add "dates" and google translate doesn't work. Can you take a screenshot of where these date boxes are please?

    Reassign commander button

    I have 180+ captains for 250 ships - anything which makes it easier (even just a "sort by....." function for commanders) would be amazing! Just checked - 94 on ships 109 in reserve 203 in total

    Limit bots or really bad players to Coop

    If you move "bad" players to Co-Op then where will they learn the skills they need to get good, assuming they want to? WG will never do this but I've always said that a "Gran Turismo License" style aspect should be in the game. To unlock each tier (and/or ship lines) you need to pass a series of "skill" tutorials which not only tests your skill but also teaches you about certain ship mechanics, so for example general tier tutorials could be - T2 introduces Torps and AP shells so you have a Torp and AP/angling tutorial you have to pass, T3 is BB's so Heal & using Damage Con T4 is CV's and AA T5 is Hydro and Spotter/Fighter planes T7 is Radar etc etc. And ship line specific Tutorials could be things like Deepwater Torps, or RN-ITL Cruiser smoke etc, or RN Cruiser AP and ITL Cruiser SAP vs HE - maybe some IFHE stuff too etc

    The Wargaming Experience...

    Is that all? Even if you get past £10K they won't do anything differently for you. It'd be interesting to see, for me at least, what is the highest "total amount" of money spent so far by a WoWS player across all 4 servers - Not asking for names just a single figure and the server i.e. - £40,254 on the Asia server - etc, as I'm absolutely sure there's some of "high rollers" out there looking at the player demographics we have.

    Ship Filters in Port.

    The most annoying one for me this that you can't have two "Special" filters selected at the same time - So I want to show all premium ships with a captain and it can't be done, it either shows All premiums or ALL ships with a Captain but not both (as shown below) and if you tick both then it just cancels out both selections. "Premium Ships" and "With Captain" both checked - Neither actually shown.

    What have you done to Dasha?

    My first game post patch was in my Icarus and the voice reverted to the stock US Male voice even though the settings still showed National and Jingles. After I closed the settings and started a new game they voice was back to how it should be.
