OMG, to whoever created this mod be assured that you have at least one person who can't thank you enough for this. Really much appreciated!

4 in total, Benson in a tier 10 game, two times Gearing and one Des Moines. The Benson game was cap and run without much danger but for the other 3 i had to actually work to bring them home. But the achievement i'm most proud of is a Die-hard with my Gearing. One achievement that i never got is Clear Sky.

Two rank 1 (JR I and JR II), then 3rd rank 1 was the Flint, my 4th rank 1 was season 10 when they changed the JR for the new and abysmal ugly abomination head JR (this would have be my JR III), 5th rank 1 was season 12 which 'rewarded' us with a achievement. And the ranked camo is not the Battle Hardened, it's a plain 100% XP camo. The Battle Hardened has 100% XP and 250% Commander XP. The ranked 'reward' camo is like the halloween camo or similars that give nothing but 100% XP and the halloween one can be farmed amass during the event or you get them thrown at you from SCs in packs of 50 or 100. A real 'reward' camo like the ranked one should give at least dual or triple stats like every casual camo has them nowadays. Look at all the free camos from daily login, daily missions and so on, they all have most of the time 100% XP, 100% commander XP, 100% free XP. Some vary and give 100/75/100 or 75/75/75 or whatever. The 'reward' camo for which you have to work you [edited]off is way inferior.

Yeah i feel ya. I want the JR3 and even contacted the support a while ago and asked if they can add it to my account and take my JR1, JR2, New JR and if they bother even the Flint which i earned from ranked and not bought from cheap SC steel. I ranked out 5 times and actually earned it, but they refused and gave me the finger. The JR3 was my personal longtime goal when i started playing WoWs 3 years ago, because we all need goals. But then for no frickin reason WG decided to disabandon the flags few seasons ago. This sucks so hard. The ranked rewards were neutered several times and are just a fraction of what they used to be 2 years ago (just look at the pathetic ranked camos. literally every free camo people get for logging in are better stat-wise) and then they also took away the bragging rights which the JR is. It really sucks big time and there seem to be no fricking reason why they did it other than piss off us players. Screw this damn achievement, if they at least had given us a damn patch/symbol or even better an emblem and not this crappy 'oh-look-i-leeched-so-many-stars'-emblem that every potato will get eventually. Why? @Crysantos @MrConway

Alright, thanks for the reply.

That's some next level masochism.

What he means is, that the higher the tier the worse your WR becomes. This means, that you (1) do not understand the high tier gameplay (2) do not understand the ships you play (3) higher tier = more experienced opponents that punish your mistakes in angling, positioning and so on. The lower tier RU BB, especially tier 5 to tier 7 are borderline overpowered and way too strong for their tier. They require little to no skill to have success because their armor is forgiving and their guns overmatch pretty much everything at their tiers so if you hit something by aiming or because dispersion favours you, you devestate the target. This changes drastically once you get into tier 10 matchmaking, what the Soyuz does. The tier 10 Kremlin is op as well, but players get better and still can punish you when you misplay. TL;DR it's the player not the ship

Gearing with about 1100 games but haven't played her much since 0.8.5. Will try how she works as (almost purely) torpedo boat once the Gearing torp reload buff goes live.

Will the Extended Minimap get an update for 0.8.5 or is this mod discontinued? If this is the case, does any other minimap mod has the option to change the font size (by config file) for the minimap/ship names?

The sound is messed up with almost every patch. Not the sound itself, but the volume of the SFX, Gun fire, UI, Engine, voiceover and other things. I have to adjust it always new with different values to have it like before. I've seen similar posts in this forum, NA forum and reddit, so it is not just me. It was the same this time. The sound with patch 0.8.5 was extremely loud compared to before, so i had to fiddle with all sound settings to have it like before. Now we got the hotfix to 0.8.5.1 and guess what, sound was way too quiet now and i had to change around the settings again. This is so annoying.

You wouldn't call him a ovenchicken irl

No! 1. I hate this new game mode and all game modes that are similar to this one. 2. The grind is just on the verge of being retarded and probably the worst grind event i have seen in wows in the last 3 years 3. I stopped giving a f*** about all these grind fests WG throws at us.

This won't work because WG stated several times now what they think about the CV players. In fact, they think CV players are so much potato that they can not handle to move their planes and the vessel at the same time. This is why there is only auto-pilot for the CVs. They are also too potato to manage their 2 consumables they have, that's why they trigger automatically without interaction of the CV player. So while the CV player is too potato to manage the most basic things (wasd their vessel and press a button to repair) and the AI has to do it for them, the surface ships got loaded with even more thing to manage during a game, often simultaneous. Like for example a DD player: he has to wasd his ship, pay attention to the map where radar ships are, where enemy DDs are and dodge torps, play objectives, pay attention to incoming planes, dodge air strikes, manage consumables like smoke, repair, heal, defAA, also has to manually switch sector several times during a multi air strike, all that while knifefighting an enemy DD and trying to cap a zone while dodging more torps and incoming cruiser and BB shells. p.s. i'm curious if i get a forum warning again for using the word potato, because this is soooo evil and could insult a part of the playerbase

For months surface ships are guinea pigs for the CV rework and i have yet to see a sincere apology from WG for causing not just a inconvenience but literally destroying the playability of first and foremost DDs. And now, when surface ships finally have a defense against the edit you apologize to the CV players after just 2 days that you nerfed their target practice and XP pinata farming toy?! Edit: Watch the language please

You misread it. They are forced to use the vital and most important battle informations but they are bothered by it so they want to disable it again.

Some CV players are really funny. I've seen streamer on Twitch today playing CVs and they complained how crap CVs are now. I look at their t10 post battle result and see 2 kills, 140k damage, 155k (!) damage upon spotting, 8 defended ribbons and a ton other ribbons. For any other class this would be a good to very good result, but it seems CV players only want to cheese the crap out of broken game mechanics and perma attack defenceless ships.

Perhaps you should care for this info, because it's a huge advantage to who which ship is where on the map. You can use this info to avoid certain ships or actively push them for an easy kill. You should press + a few times to enlarge the map, then it is not clustered with ship names and you would actually see what is going on in the game. Does wonders for the winrate and personal rating as well.

I found a way that works very well for me when it comes to events like this one. I went from the exhausting and frustrating 'must grind, must have' to the much more enjoyable 'i don't give a f…'

And you see what happened to you … … it turned you evil
