This is what he always says. Same as builds, he always states that this is his personal prefered build but people always run around and imply that everyone has to use this because flamus said so, which is simply not true. He stresses always that it's his opinion and nothing set in stone and that people should use their brain to make their own decisions and not blindly copy stuff like this. But then again, it's the internet …

Many people never cared about how good or bad a ship is. There are many collectors out there who will grind or buy ships no matter how atrocious a ship is.

We talked about the first 3 minutes into the game, not some of your fantasy scenarios you list there. There is absolutely no reason to die in the first 3 minutes of a game other than stupidity.

Being bad at the game are things like not understanding how to angle properly to minimize the incoming damage or how to use the shell flight time to aim properly to deal reliable damage. Dying in the first 3 minutes of the game has nothing to do with being bad at the game, but with being stupid. Being unable to use common sense. Failing to understand the most basic things in the game.

Well, you asked for more resources …

Yes

This certainly does not sound like a WoWs problem. You should check your drivers (like all of them, chipset, cpu, gpu, everything, possible bios update), update windows (new major functions update started to roll out yesterday), run hardware diagnostic apps. Google the "video schedule internal error" and you'll find a lot of useful tips on how to fix it.

It doesn't matter what anyone of the players want. The decision was made months ago by WG that they will be implemented into randoms, no matter how few actually like it. If i want them in the game? NO! and i'm 99% certain that i will quick the game for good the day subs appear in randoms. Looking through ebay, old accounts with decent WR, many tier 10 and multiple rank 1 go for up to 700 bucks - appealing.

So you say i'm wrong but then you contradict yourself to say the exactly thing i said. Okay then, i guess you are right …

They built it for people to have fun, but people abused and exploited it to farm absurd amounts of credits and free XP. Both is, from a company point of view, bad for business because it removes the need for a premium account. That's why they neutered it and nerfed it to the ground.

This is what people get for abusing/exploiting the crap out of this game mode.

NA CC Mejash does projects like this on stream. Recently he made a F2P account front scratch, no flags, camos and so on, only what he earned in game. Of course he was faster than a new player too because he is a unicum, but still. Here are his stats on the F2P account. He's at 123 games and unlocked the Daring or is very close to it. Main struggle is to get credits to buy the next tier ship, so he used the Warspite he got for free from the invite code to play about 25 games to farm credits. I remember this too how slow the grind to a t10 was years ago. There was no XP boosting like today. It took hundreds of games through the line to get the first t10. Right now i'm grinding to Moskva on NA and i'm at Chapy. Thanks to XP flags, camos, free premium time from missons, campaigns, WG containers and so on, this is no big deal. Even premium time gives 65% bonus XP instead 50% as it used to be. I've now played 54 games in the RU cruiser line and i'm close to Donski. I don't have access to special flags other than 9 or 10 red dragons and still, the progression through the line is really fast and not comparable to like 3-4 years ago. Plus back inthe day it was not possible to simply buy a high tier premium and play t8+ right of the bat.

I had this lovely game on NA while grinding to Moskva for obvious reasons and it was the weirdest game i had in a long time. On first glance it looks like a normal Two Brothers game but a closer look reveals the comedy. sky rats, of course t7 division in a tier 10 game suicide division went down the channel and died, of course only the enemy team had a DD 6 BBs per side (hello 5 BB cap?) bottom left the Georgia sailed a couple of circles in the corner with auto-pilot and later sailed along the J line

Recently upgraded the member limit. We now have 6 open slots, so check if you meet the join requirements in the first post and apply ingame. 👍

Credit income is based on damage dealt. So use a ship you are comfortable with and that deals a lot of damage. Many BBs are not good for this, especially at lower or mid tiers, because there aren't too often high damage games. But then again, WG removed the cap for how many flags you can equip, so slap everything on your ship and a credits camo and you'll be rich in no time. Sweet spot to farm credits is t9 though, IMO.

That's how WG thinks as well. The point is that steel was supposed to be somewhat exclusive, a currency for competetive players, which is only a very small amount of the playerbase. They already flattened the value of steel by making steel ships available for coal and handing out steel like candy for many things. So the final step is that people, no matter if they play competetive or co-op only, have access to this 'exclusive' currency if their wallet is big enough. This removes one of the last motivations to play competetive. The motivation to own one of those rare ships like Stalingrad or Bourgogne. Something competetive players have a long term goal by earning these status symbols. But the course WG takes means, that everyone can own these prestigious symbols if they just spend enough money. That's a slap in the face of competetive players to say the least.

Exactly, so if you buy the ship at day one you can grind all stages and get 250 steel each. That's the point - you whale the ship so you have the ship and then you get on top of that 250 steel for each stage that you grind after you built the ship. And this is only possible after investing the cash to buy the ship for doubloons through the dockyard.

So after watching Flamu's PTS video. Do you now sell steel for money or is this only on PTS? In the video is clearly to see, if you whale the ship and research it for doubloon you can afterwards complete the directives for 250 steel each, which is a total of what, 5000 steel? Was just a matter of time to make this step i suppose.

Ranked needs only 2 brackets: brain.exe activated while playing everyone else But then again, waiting time would look the same if you are in the 1st bracket. UPDATE It's kinda funny to see how broken op the Belfast is. If you look at the stats of the OP you see that he is a decent player, certainly above the average WoWs player. While he ranked out multiple times, his WR was usually around the 52% winrate with 2 seasons hitting the 56%, which is a respectable result. But then you look at this season and what do you see? Belfast only, 75% WR - hence this brag thread.

You should have a Full-Screen windowed option. The windowed borderless versions usually only take the available viewport of the desktop, means sitting on top of the task bar so it remains visible. The full-screen windowed overlaps the task bar and in order to access it you have to press the windows key. And while it's nice to explore the forum features, you should not use light gray font on a bright background because it's almost impossible to read, unless someone ctrl+a the whole ting. Bad idea if you expect that others to help with your problem.

I'm pretty sure they already did this indirectly. Legendary Upgrades will only be obtainable from the RB, which means if you don't fall behind against everyone else at tier 10 you have to get them. This means you have to grind 5 lines to tier 10 (cost a lot of credits) and then you have to reset lines and grind them again (cost again a lot of credits for something you already did before) to get the currency to buy the LU. So in the long run the free premium consumables are nothing but a drop in a bucket for the cost that will be inflicted on us. Another indirect thing is that directives and such have suddenly a much higher requirement than before. When it was something like grind 1.5M or 2M it's now 4M. So we are more or less forced to use camos that have credits bonus plus signals and special signals with credit bonus. While (forcefully) grinding the directives, players make much more credits to reset lines. This all nothing but speculations on my part, but all these puzzle pieces just fit too well together if you think about the greater picture. There are also many other small things that fit into this pattern. UPDATE On topic … i wonder why people complain about the Moskva camo but i don't see the same people complain about how they get a lot of free camos in the game as well, directly with coal/steel ships or by free doubloons from daily logins, ranked, supercontainer, things like free santa gift crates and so on. I haven't spent a single cent on any camo in this game and yet i have about 18 to 20 perma camos, all for free. I think 5 or 6 are t9 and t10. And it's not that you lose the camo now, you can still use it. Further did owner of the camo profit from it in numerous ways, so the investment was obviously worth it.

The MM screen is just decoration. It happens quite often that it shows a cached version from the battle before - this is probably what happened here, you played a random game before you queued for ranked and it showed the MM from last game. Other gimmicks are no CVs in queue, game starts and guess what's in the battle. Or games start with full teams but the MM screen showed only 10 people or less in queue. It's just another feature that acts as source for funny screenshots. Similar to the ship role hints, when it suggest to smoke up allies as Halland or torp enemy ships into oblivion with Friesland.

This is exactly what i will do the second WG announce that Subs will join random battles.
