Weekend Special! If you apply during this weekend, Tom will send nudes that you can use as a christmas card for people you don't like.

Had a boring game in my Fletcher on islands of ice, standard battle, with @Aotearason the enemy team. His team was the typical weekend warrior collection. I spawned on the east side of the map and headed toward the middle and then to the south, where usually C cap is and before i was in gun firing range to my first target, his team lost already 4 ships. The rest of his team ran away and we could cap the base, resulting in a utter crap game where the top xp earner had 1600 xp or even less than this. This was a start in the typical wows weekend for me. The first Fletcher game with 180k damage and 2 or 3 kills plus 2 solo caps was of course a loss. Next Fletcher game was the one on island of ice, we won with a roflstomp and the 100% daily win bonus was wasted on a 30k damage game, no caps (because it was standard mode), no potential damage, no nothing. Just the usual waste of daily bonus, flags, camos.

Well, many have fallen into this trap, this is why they added the option to automatically block the resupply for ingame currency. Of course this option is not set by default, same as the premium consumables are set by default to doubloon payment although there is the option to pay with credits. This setting is -of course- pretty well hidden so less experienced and new players miss it. Evil minds would assume that this is a kinda cheap way to trick people into spending doubloons for stuff they can also get for free, but WG would never do this, right?!

Black Friday is next week you fruit

WHAT?? I give you a reason. The Leningrad looks like crap while the Blys looks sexy in most camos.

It's already a feature in the game. For camos and consumables you can click/check the auto-resupply button and there is also the checkbox 'resupplying using ingame currency', you remove the checkmark there if you want to resupply but do not want to use it if the free stuff is used up and had to spend credits/doubloons on it. It's a set-it-and-forget-it feature, you do this once, when setup your ship and select the desired camo and consumable. As for a Mod, you have to always redownload and install a mod and once you forget it, you have the same problem as not set this auto-resupply feature once per camo. The built-in feature is much more convenient.

A little personal celebration, because I have just played my 5000 random battle on EU. My total played battles is 5600 but this include ranked and some coop, so this does not count. I started to play WoWs in May 2016, thanks to @Aerroon, and i was horrible at this game. Like really horrible with a 45% WR and a WTR of maybe 700. I ruined my stats completely because i was A) a potato and B) there was the GNB event, which was the first event i played in WoWs. Missions included to score a ridiculous amount of (won?) battles to collect some currency to buy ingame goods. I honestly do not really remember what this all was about. What i know is, that i joined one game after another, yolo'd like a moron and hoped for the best so the team wins the game, then after i died i left the battle and joined the next match. Of course this was beyond moronic, as it not only took me much longer to get the needed battle numbers, but it also harmed my stats in the very long run. But what did i know, i was new to the game. ;) I focused, and still do, on DDs and since a while also on Cruisers. Almost 75% of my games are DD and 24% are Cruiser games. I played 4900 out of the 5000 battles as solo queue. Looking at my progression on stats websites i have improved at a reasonable pace and my WR hit 57% and WTR 1400 after about 1500 battles. I kept on improving from here but it took me an insane 3500 battles to smooth out my retarded first 1500 battles and get some decent overall stats. After 5000 battles my stats look like this: So if you are a potato like i was then keep going, there is hope to get rid or the red stats and you too can become a 'Great' potato some day. I keep going too, the overall unicum stats are only 5000 more battles away

Because maybe at one point you will be able to buy stuff like premium time, premium ships, and so on in WoWs through steam with your steam wallet. The steam wallet is actually interesting because you can make a lot of cash in, for example, CSGO with skins (you can bet on sites on games, get random drop after games, stuff like this) by selling them on the steam market. So technically and if you know how, you can make a lot of money on steam and buy stuff in/for other games without having to actually spend a single real life cent for it. So yes, there is the possibility that there will be a huge benefit to it.

You don't have to aim for them. AA mounts get destroyed by HE shells. HE stand for High Explosive - this means, that you only hit a ship section and the shells explode. The bomb fragments hit stuff (modules like torp tubes, A mounts, rudder, stearing) in this section and incapacitates or destroys them or set a fire.

Then you should convince WG to post a proper official announcement. Because the official announcement on the website clearly reads: In terms of, if you launch torps at them you won't hit these ships with your torps.

This module double the total HP of an AA mount but since the HP is already extremely low it does not matter if a AA mount has, as example, 200 HP and is doubled to 400 HP when a HE shell from a Cruiser or BB deals 5000 damage to an AA mount. This AA survivability upgrade is literally the most useless upgrade of all possible upgrades you can mount on a ship.

Karma is the e-pe.nis of WoWs. Useless as fck, but eveyone want to have the biggest one. p.s. why the actually fck is p.e.n.i.s a word on the censor list? It's a normal word and a normal body part. Some people are just a little bit too moronic when it comes to censor crap.

I've seen so much potato gameplay this morning that something with more punch than coffee would be needed.

The Taiwanese ships will get a neutral flag. It will show a white flag with a black ape wearing green pants with blue suspenders who scratches his head with a yellow hand while he eat a red cucumber with the other hand. This way all international colors are present in the flag and nobody get pissed off - you know, like the olympic games flag.

So anyone has this too and can confirm it? Or was this problem fixed by the mod dev with a recent release? UPDATE I've just downloaded the latest modpack version and installed the minimap mod, same bug still exist.

Congratulations, so the T-61 is better than Gaede, surprise surprise. Nobody every declined this. But where is this even remotely close to the op levels of the Belfast? THIS is what you claimed. Gaede is a good ship, but it still get its [edited]kicked by an somewhat skilled enemy DD captain. I wouldn't call this 'op' as you did. And you only compare it to Gaede, what about uptiered against a Blys, a Loyang, a Benson and such? This is what matters for me if you throw terms like 'op' around. The T-61 will be (hopefully) very good, as i personally wait for it too, but i repeat myself - it will not be op. You also think it has far more firepower. Fact is, this is only the case on paper. If you fight an enemy DD you have to angle and manouver. Slow turrets let you not fire at enemy DDs while you are in a turn and the turrets can not keep up. Low amount of guns mean, that you most of the time can only shot 2 guns at the enemy, where ships like Blys can shoot 3 or 4 depending if he approach you or kite away. Same goes for other ship with fast turret traverse and better rudder and turning circle. All these things make the T-61 not op. But whatever, anybody is entitled to have their own opinion and what is 'op' for one is just 'ok' for others.

The skill based MM should not be too strict, because this is what everyone automatically thinks of when skill-based is brought up. It would already be very welcome if WG put players internal (not visible for the players) into categories. The amount of played battles and their win ratio as well as for example kill/death ratio should be used to determine in which category a player fits best. Let's say 4 categories like clan battles use it right now. For players this could be 'category A' with very good players, 'category B' good players, 'category C' with average players and 'category D' with bad players. So now the MM can build teams based on these categories, either use an equal amount of category A + B or B + C or C + D. Or simply mix teams like 2A + 3B + 4C + 3D ... whatever fit to fill the game with a 12 vs 12 but an equal amount of equally skilled (good or bad) players for both teams. Right now we can have matches, and the displayed Rank plus Clan Rank shows this very clear, with 5 or 6 unicums on one side and the othrr side has only 12 potatoes. Of course will this be a lopsided match and even more important, it is no fun for anybody. The unicums waste time clubbing potatoes (means low xp, low credits, low everything and wasting camos, flags, daily win bonus for a 7 minute game) and the potatoes once again only get their asses kicked without any chance to win the game. No potato can tell me he enjoys it to only get slapped around game after game after game. Whatever solution WG could use, anything is better than what we have right now. And fixing the damn MM should have highest priority to make ALL player equally happy and set for more enjoyable games, but for whatever foolish reason WG just gives as damn about the MM and tries to convince anyone that it's fine as it is right now, when it really is not.

Are you one of those who have to click the Honor to Heroes reward thingy every single time you get a new reward? I know that there are people who hate to see this on the screen and if this number is bigger than 0 it will freak them out. Well…

Not even remotely close to Belfast levels. Yes, the T-61 has very good torps at this tier and hydro is great, but that's almost about it. The guns are average, you only have 4 of them and the turret traverse is abysmal which means you can not get into gunfights with other KM, US, RU DDs or Blys if uptiered. In the current state the torps seem to be a bit too strong, so *if* WG nerf them before release you have a bit better Gaede. This ship is okay, but it is FAR from being op and even further away from Belfast level. I think you watched Flamu's first impression video and think you'll get a op seal clubber that hardly require any effort. The truth is A) Flamu is exceptionally good and can make almost any ship work and B) KM DDs are pretty difficult to play because of the usually slower speed, worse detection, size, sluggish handling, tendency to eat extra damage, especially AP from all enemy ship classes. Don't get me wrong, the T-61 is one of the few premiums i'm interested in and most likely will buy it too, because i expect it to be good. But it won't be op and it'll most likely require a unicum+ level player to have constantly good results - unlike the Belfast or Kutuzov, that any drunk chimp can pull decent numbers with.

If you have server issues it is always besat first to check out the WoWs website. On the right side is a panel that shows the server status and how many people are connected at the moment. If the server shows everything is okay and there are a couple of thousand people connected and playing, then it is most likely a (temporary) local or routing problem.

Well, i have only six 19pt commander. This is why you have a million xp more than i do - oh, this and my premium time ran out AND i'm out of dragon flags.

Tier 10 Battle with plenty of T10 ships on both sides and our team has what? Yep, a fail division, a Bismarck dragged a Mahan and a Gneisenau into this tier 10 battle. So i say in chat 'thank you for bringing a fail division with tier 7's into a tier 10 battle'. I don't see what is offensive or insulting here. Of course did i receive 3 reports post battle. I wonder where these reports came from, because considering toping the scoreboard by pretty big margin can not be the reason. Surely it is okay, that morons can ruin the game with such IDIOT divisions yet they can abuse the report system to bulk-report me, because THEY are idiots who can not even setup a proper division.

On average you play more games per day than i do. I just have more 19 point commanders and slap elite xp camos and flags on the ships with a 19 point commander. And recently i even spent almost 1 mil elite XP to make the Lo Yang commander a 19 pointer too, boosted steven seagal on my Des Moines and resepecced a 19 pointer with elite xp. Soon™ i'll need elite xp for the Pan-Asia DD grind and probably the US cruisers.

So does Cleveland

If you want that a WG official even bother to read your thread, you have to add the tag 'I am a BB player and I am not satisfied'. Even if the part about the BB player is not true, if you do not add it, WG won't notice this kind of threads at all.
