Your expectation is unrealistic. How could they make a skill based MM when they can not even balance out MM by ships/utilities? I can not count the number of games where one team had 4 or more radars while the other team had zero radar ships. How often does a team have 2 or more gunboat DDs or DDs with poor concealment in general, such as Kleber, Khaba and so on, while the other team got 2 or more Daring or Shima - and this on a domination map. The outcome is very predictable when one team can cap and the other can't.

The whole system is [result of the digestive process]. You can get chat banned for calling people [vegetable names] or [commonly known expression for not intelligent people], which in most cases is 100% accurate. At the same time they allow clan tags that are blatantly far right (perhaps because 3rd reich is historically accurate for this naval battle game) and user accounts (also known as player names) that wish jews to die. Same goes for clan tags and clan names, as well as player names, that include words like 'blyat' which mean [female person who offers sex for money] and 'cyka' which is a more or less universal word for [the english f-word] or a term to describe a [usually female person with low self-esteem that is easy to have sex with or acts in a degrading way] and both combined are one of the most harsh insults to russian people and considered extremely offensive. In the end there are no defined rules or they are interpreted depending on the mood of a person who handles this stuff. It is also pretty obviuos that you can do whatever you want, such as griefing, team-killing, sabotaging the game, lose on purpose, use the aforementioned offensive clan names, tags and player name as long as you don't call anyone a vegetable. Of course a WG staff person will show up and tell us this is not true, they take it soooo serious and blabla, but look at the evidence you see on a daily basis in the game, look at the insulting clan names, tags and player names that are around for months and years and nobody gives a [result of the digestive process] about it and if you complain they tell you to use the usually not working ticket system and you never hear back from them but see the players in question continue to play the game in the exatly same way with the exactly same offensive clan names. Bottom line, do whatever you want but don't every use the chat or you are [insert english f-word here]ed. NOTE: Expressions in […] are to avoid another forum warning, because it is forbidden to say these words for the reason you know, game is rated for 7+ years and the poor kids need to be protected from things like vegetables and other evil things.

THIS is the problem. Griefing, throwing games, etc. are against the rules. Is it sanctioned? No! Even if you complain to staff or send in tickets they get rejected with the comment 'use the ingame report' - which does jackshit as we all know. WHERE are the consequences for those people who throw games and sabotage the own team? Nowhere to find! But as i said, anyone can do whatever they want to harm the team, people like you will defend it and WG supports this by closing all available eyes they have and give a crap about it.

Goes in both directions, doesn't it? If they play like [edited] then it's on their own risk to be called just this. I don't understand why it is considered okay, and people defend it all the time, that people are throwing games intentionally, but calling them out is not okay? They are actively and purposefully wasting other peoples effort, time and money without any punishment at all. Not do they not get punished for this, but they even get protected, supported and motivated to continue doing this.

3rd SC from the Twitch mission gave me100 signals which give 20% extra heal, forgot the name. That's actually useful because i'm running low on them.

Just got a 3-week chat ban, few days after a 2 week chat ban expired. Apparently everything is okay, team killing, throwing games on purpose, and so on. This is perfectly fine by WG, but if i call a game thrower an 'idiot' they report me and it's me who get punished because they suck at the game and just made 11 team mates waste their time and money. Same as playing high tier important classes and then don't even know the very basics and make the team lose because of this. Everything is fine as long as you as player shut the [edited]up and just throw money at the game. I could understand long time chat bans like this if i'd wish someone to get cancer and aid at the same time and his entire family dies in a fire. But 3 weeks for calling [edited] actually [edited] is way WAY exaggerated, especially in the heat of a battle which is usually gone right after the match. But then again, it's WG, they cater to the [edited], the potatoes and trash players because they bring in the bucks. I just stopped spending any money at all on the game (this is for 3 persons, as my son and wife play as well and used to have premium time and quite a few premium ships) and they can stick their chat bans where the sun don't shine. They should get their chat policies right and start to force players to learn the damn game bsics, then there would be much less chat bans necessary. Fun fact. Banning someone for calling others an [edited], because the terms [edited] are actually medical terms that were used until the mid 1950's in psychology to describe the mental state of patients.

It's not that CVs literally scan square by square for DDs. They know how many there are, thy know where they spawn by mirroring the own DD position. It does not matter at all if you turn on or off the AA, the CV will find you no matter what and from this moment on there is no escape or hiding. Simply for the fact that CVs can send planes after planes at your last position at a speed even the fastest of DDs can not keep up with. The time it takes the CV to send a new wave of planes is barely enough to pass half a square on the minimap for a DD. So there is no escape. And of course there are people who say 'blabla, but the cv wasted all his time on chasing you so he could not do anything else to your team'. Which is total bullcrap, because what it does is, it ruins my gaming fun entirely, it prevents me from playing the objectives -which is my job as DD- which gives the enemy team time to cap and generate points every few seconds, while i try to survive the CV harassment. The constant spotting prevents me from spotting for my team, it prevents me from spotting enemy torps as early warning, it prevents me from using my weapons (guns and torps) to be somewhat effective. Simply said, a 100% skilless CV is capable to completely neutralize an entire ship class with very important roles for the own team, just by moving around the planes on the map and spot me, be it on purpose or by accident. As a DD i have to invest A LOT of skill points (which make the need for a 19pt commander mandatory, which is a grind in itself) to be stealthy, have effective weapons and my ability is already limited to the extreme by all the radar, hydro, now 90knt torps to dodge, on top of that comes a potato CV that can keep me spotted forever if he wish and there is nothing i can do about it other than run to the back rank, abandon my team, abandon the objectives, abandon MY fun to play the ship class entirely. Yes of course can i have great games as DD, but they are extremely rare and nowhere so much fun than it used to be. There is pretty much no knifefights over caps against other DDs anymore. It's just constantly radars, hydros, planes to avoid and the fun factor, fighting other DDs, is pretty much dead. I'm a DD main and yes i adapted. I play Halland now. Pretty much exclusively, because this is the only DD that can protect itself against planes. The 15km fast reloading torps mean i can stay out of radar range which sit behind every island often unspotted and is used randomly. IF an enemy DD should stray into 'my' half of the map i have enough firepower to fight this DD. Other than that the only way to play the game as DD nowadays is to give a crap about the team, about the caps and do your own thing by avoiding most of the danger that is out there. Is this fun? Is this how WG wanted us to play DD? For sure not, but they shoved this cancer down our throat, unable to balance this crap that everyone can have fun and not just one ship class in the game, no matter how much they suck. It's really sad if you watch streams of superunicums (because i suck with my 57% solo wr as a comparison, so i resort to way better player with video proof if needed) getting destroyed in CV games just to find out in the end result screen that the player who destroyed them was a 42% potato, just playing the braindead class just as WG intended. If you see something like this tell me again it's the DD player who sucks for not turning off his AA or if there is maybe something very wrong in the current state of the game. If not even the best of the best players can protect themself against literally potato level player in a CV …

Most of them are slower than a lot of cruisers and in some cases even BBs.

7 minute game

Got 3 SC in the last 2 weeks. 1 SC from a resource container on NA and 2 SC from the Twitch mission (3rd SC mission in progress) on EU - 50k Free XP (NA) - 7-days Premium (EU) - 15k Coal (EU)

Not sure if this is funny or sad or just a reason to lose all hope in the wows playerbase. Hey team, i got 215k damage and 3 kills. What did you got? Also note the battle timer in the top right.

The game was rated Draw without a score (means 0 xp, 0 fxp, 0 credits), all special flags plus normal flags and the 400% camo were consumed for nothing.

splendid, i'm so delighted

Server are not COVID-19 proof. Build a line, only 2k players at a time, just like in stores. And remember to leave one map grid distance between you and the next ship. Means no stupid yolo torp rush shenanigans or hugging the same island with 6 ships.

Yeah sucks. I just equipped all special flags and a mosaic camo (400% xp) for the Halland grind and of course, server crashes. I wonder if all the stuff is lost. And naturally it can not crash while in port or after the game, nope it has to be just 1 minute into the game.

Now imagine you would also have a button to save the current mounted signals before demount all, so you can mount them again with a single click. Why is it WG, that when you finally improve something you still do it half-assed? It took you literally years to implement this and then you didn't even invest these 1-2 more weeks to implement a save/profile function?! And there is STILL no filter for these bazillion different camos you throw at us, that we can filter for specific bonuses such as 'show only camos that have a credit bonus' or 'show only camos that have a free XP bonus' and so on or sort camos for the amount of bonus a camo provides (for example sort by highest percentage of commander XP, camos with highest bonus lists first, lowest bonus lists last). How friggin hard is it to implement something like this for a supposedly professional company, when some random guy (probably a student) and hobby modder can do something like this with a few lines of code over a weekend?! (too bad the modder changed how the mod works and now it is useless in most cases)

I didn't look at your stats on a website but you have them as your forum signature, so …

Sorry, but your comment clearly shows why you have a 46% winrate. If there wasn't Kremlin the Thunderer would be by far the best tier 10 BB. It has exceptionally precise guns, insanely strong AP that can devastate any cruiser as well as BBs if they show enough side or don't angle properly. It also has big enough guns to overmatch a lot of armor. Only a puppy (sadly i'm not allowed to use the other P-word here) who spams HE from max range in a BB would make a suggestion as you just did. The only thing Conq and Thunderer have in common is the same nation, pretty much every thing else is different, especially the guns, and in HUGE favor of the Thunderer.

This must be the BB-main without camo and flags thread!?

No you are not alone with this problem. For me it is even worse. I can't even switch between tasks to kill the WoWs process. I can open apps and the task manager but all apps other than WoWs refuse to come to the foreground so i can use them, WoWs overlays everything else. Only way to kill the WoWs task is to restart the computer or at least sign out of the current account and sign back in. Sucks big time and i've seen this happen to several streamer as well, so it is not just me or you and not our computers, but a fucked up update.

It doesn't matter because WG will not listen to anything players say. So the only reason to give access to all ships would be that the players can test ships they have never played before and this is not what WG wants. WG is in a state, for a while now, where they give a crap about player feedback, wishes, concerns. They just do their thing no matter what, regardless of how stupid or unfun it is for the players.

I swear to god, this forum needs desperately a moron emoji and/or moron reaction icon

crappy refered not to the ships themself but to the way they were acquired.

More chain gang camos from a resource container pick.

Guys accept it, 200€ is the new price for FREE ships. Either this or invest as much time as a fulltime job requires to grind your behinds off to get the free stuff. There's a simple solution: JUST! SAY! NO! Save your FXP for yet another russian superboate that will be most likely 5M or something like this. I skipped the Benham, i skipped the PR, i'll skip these crappy ships (just an educated guess based on the reviews and seeing the poor performance of the ships on streams) and keep using the FXP for what i've always used them, which is to buy ship upgrades because i'm too lazy to grind stock ships.
