It's not just for the heal. On Daring SI is more or less a mandatory skill because you have no AA, so you need the extra smoke to "counter" CVs and the extra hydro protects not only you, but also the team from the pesky Shimas, Gearings, Hallands, Jinans, Yoshinos, …

Oh I have no doubts about that.

This is why people have to be careful with what they wish for. Just like Subs, people were asking and nagging to get this feature. Now that they (and we all) got it, people are unhappy with it. This is the result of a minority who is the loudest, bugged the devs to add a feature nobody else wants and then, after years of development, it is shoehorned into the game and those who wanted this feature/class/whatever don't play the game anymore. Now we are stuck with the mess.

Why? You refer to the 3% concealment from a camo? It will be baked into the ships directly, you don't lose concealment.

The main issue with this update IMO is the removal of flexibility. I use signals in combination with camos to stack them in certain combinations, mainly to make it easier/faster to complete missions and such. With the new system this is not possible any longer. I also much prefer, as an example to illustrate, 10 Papa-Papa signals with 300% bonus each rather than 3 booster with 10k% bonus. Simply for the fact, that teams are so random and I lose often without me being able to do anything about it, the team just throws in the first 5 minutes. In that case I would lose a huge booster that had no value to me because of the bad team. With Papa-Papa I would gain less on a win, but also lose less. With the example booster I get 3 bad teams in a row, no value in return. With signals I would have lost 3 x 300% but still have 7 chances to get value out of my signal bonus to make up for the losses.

As an avid high tier player … … I have recently started to do what I haven't done in years, play T5 and soon maybe T6 as well. Usually, when getting a new line TX, I FreeXP to T7 or T8 and go from there, that's why I haven't played anything below T7 in years, with a few exception games. But high tiers became so unfun to play that it's either seal club or quit completely. If I play some high tier games then mostly gunboats and every now and then a BB. I've almost completely stopped playing cruisers (my second most played class after DD) for months now - thanks to CVs and now also super CVs and Subs. ATM it's Hill with Oven Chicken (maybe I should try Halsey hmm?!) and perhaps time to brush off the dust on T-61 (best looking ship in the entire game. PERIOD) too. Happy seal clubbing! Anyone wanna seal club div to do it properly?

The API that stats websites use is from 2017, it doesn't know super ships, subs, several game modes one of which is Brawls. And exactly these fast paced brawls were "bugged" when they counted for eggs when they weren't supposed to and WG fixed it during the event. UPDATE But whatever explanation there is. WG officials already said they will check all winners if they are legit or not. So no point in getting a headache over something you can not change anyway and WG already confirmed to check all winners.

I don't know why you talk stupid crap, but if you are in doubt is here a simple solution. Visit the 1st guys stream right here, where you find the VODs of all his recent streams. You can watch all of them and count the games and how often he get and how many token he gets. You can literally verify 100% accurate if he is 1st because he is a legit human or a bot playing. But of course you rather argue and ignore the facts that jump right into your face to verify them, right?!

Imagine streaming would generate a nice income from subscriptions and donations plus ad money and as a bonus get a 1400+ € GPU on top of it, for something you do anyway. One way is indeed more stress free. Nothing to do with brown nosing. You just tried to discredit a known streamer and player, because you don't know him and have probably never heard of him. This was enough reason for you to run to the forum and open a useless thread. And you are right, I meant FOOL, was just a little typo.

The top player is a more or less well known German streamer and superunicum whos clan won international, WG sponsored, tournaments. If you think he is a bot feel free to visit Twitch and watch him stream pretty much every day for several hours. If the intention of this thread was to make a foul out of yourself then mission accomplished.

Only stats appear from accounts that were actively searched for on the stats website (wows-numbers). The website will keep a snapshot from the last search in their own database, from how i understand it. Wows-numbers can only display what the API responds to the request and this API is old, outdated (last update 2017) and isn't maintained any longer it seems. Nobody knows exactly what stats and numbers WG make accessible via the API. Perhaps they banned botter accounts and deleted their records, hence they are removed from the overall stats. Maybe players rename their account and because an old name no longer exists, it get removed from the stats until the new name was search for on wows-numbers at least once. Perhaps players set their account to private and all game/ship info is no longer available via the API. There are many possible reasons why the stats are not accurate and should be taken with a grain of salt - or not trust them at all.

Daily login SC on EU Daily login SC on NA (to me the most useless signals in the game)

No, only login through the game client.

Sorry, but this was either a mediocre Co-op game or a very bad game in general. 100k credits in a Gearing is like doing nothing and dying in the first 3 minutes of the game. Not really a "proof" that the new system will break the bank of anyone.

It's at least 3 months and the account has to be inactive as in not logging in at all. If you login but don't play it doesn't count. A bit ago I had a 4-5 months break without playing at all but checked in 2-3 times a week to see if anything is going on in the clan and never received anything by mail or ingame. But what i've noticed is on my NA account. If i don't play there for several weeks and then play a game or two, it is almost guaranteed to get a SC from the daily container and in most cases i got premium time from the SC. I've mentioned this several times in the SC thread, that this happened to me multiple times over the course of the last few years. Same on EU, didn't play for some weeks, first container a SC with premium time. This is a bit too weird to be a coincidence IMO. Also, if you didn't play for a couple of months you can get invited to their friends program thingy by another player to receive more free stuff.

Welcome to the club! We should make a Kleber division some day

Kleber and Grozovoi - cursed ships for me and I don't know why. Mogador 17 games, 65% WR Marceau (same Hull as Kleber, same handling, worse guns, worse torps) 9 Random games, 78% WR as well as 122 Ranked games, 65% WR (2200 PR) Kleber 19 games, 43% WR Grozovoi 103 games, 45% WR (2350 PR) I'm DD-main and all my other TX DDs, 13 in total, have between 56% and 68% WR (exception Harugumo 40 games with 75%), but I just can't win games with Kleber und Grozovoi. But as a mild excuse, I got Grozovoi at the same time as the CV rework went live and CVs were totally broken that's why I started with something like 38% over 40 games. Ever since then I hate Grozovoi, despite it being a decent ship.

Don't worry, there are plans to sell lube in the premium shop that you can take it easier.

When did any petition was ever successful when it comes to WG? People didn't want, and still don't want to have Subs and CVs and Superships in Randoms. Does this bother WG? I said it before and I will say it again: WG doesn't care about what the playerbase want. Our wishes mean nothing to them. They are a business, all they are interested in is our money and not our opinion or how happy we are with the game. Old (in terms of playing this game for years) players don't matter because most oldies have spent their fair share of money already. WG is after new players to sell all the old powercrept junk plus the new junk to maximize profit. The least they care about is if our stats are skewed because of a game mode. The stats are skewed anyway, because the API wasn't updated since 2017. Stats websites, such as wows-numbers, can not show actual stats because the API does not provide new/changed additions to the game that were introduced after 2017. It's sad but it is what it is and nothing we do or say will change how WG runs the game. The almighty "close the wallet" won't do it either. Many did this already, long time ago, but as long as new players come in who don't know about the mess that this game is, as long money will generated. WG also doesn't care if the new players leave after a few months, if they have spent money during that time, because the next ignoramus is already downloading the game. p.s. if anyone finds typos, just keep them. i'm too lazy to read over this again

As i said above, if some of you think the top guy is botting then you are wrong. He is a streamer from a unicum clan and you can watch him for yourself to see that he's legit. No reason to speculate in this case.

NukeTelecomHqPls, the current leader, is from clan Penta (former TWA) and is a streamer on Twitch who goes by the name SolitudeIRL. He is streaming pretty much every day for 6-8+ hours. He is a superunicum with a 70%+ solo WR, so he gets most of his games maximum eggs/token.

One of the most useful signals in the game, especially on DDs and CLs. You should definitely start using them.

So far it looks like it is actually an eco buff. We'll see if WG will change this or messes up something. But in general i'm a HUGE fan of this change. Not necessarily the separation of cosmetics and bonuses, but that we get cosmetic at all. This was something that bothered me from the very first day i played this game. Damn, i have so many really sexy looking camos but can not use them, because either the bonuses are crap on them or too good for casual use. With this change i can finally use the cosmetics without to have to worry about the stats on these camos. I can't wait to slap the Victory Salute on all my DDs, Decepticon Disguise on my BBs, probably Azur Lane Siren on Cruisers although Team Water looks cool too IIRC. And then there is always Shadow Lurker, which fits on everything because black

Just played a game and immediately after the game i got the rewards from the Easter Egg Sprint 1. The SC gave me: 50 Wyvern signals

Have i missed something? Is it only today or just a coincidence? Never seen this in 6 years of WoWs that when i start to type a player name in the search bar the UI instantly, i mean instantly as in real time, brings up results. I didn't see any patch notes about it, so i don't know if this is just a "bug" that actually improves something. Also don't know when this started, because i haven't use this feature recently, for obvious reason - because it NEVER worked in 6 years!
