    I really thought I can do it this weekend

    Nope, you can not chat in battle, not in private messages, not in divs, not in clan chat. Actually a pretty stupid solution. I could understand if I get banned in battle chat, but also banned from private chat and in clan channel??
  2. Ya know what really hard was? Once I did not collect and opened any container for a whole month. I just let the game collect randomly container at daily reset. Funny enough I got one Supercontainer too.
  3. I'm at 425 now. Your number is not to see.

    I really thought I can do it this weekend

    Pro tip: check the file name of the posted image ^^ See this is what happened. Game was a T5-7 match on Shards, our DD spawned perfect with the nearest spot to C. All he had to do was press W and cap, if he get spotted he can smoke up or move between this gap in the islands to make it out without a scratch. What he did was, he turned hard starboard and headed toward B, which would be fine too. But because of the far spawn and the longer way to B he needed some time to get there and you could already see at the indicator that their DD, a Mutsuki, was already in B. Now you can handle this situation in several way, like for example turn away and get a different cap zone or slow down to 1/ to 1/2 speed, smoke up and lay down a smoke carpet into B to stay undetected and contest the cap. What he did was, he pushed full speed into B and then through B to try to hunt down the enemy DD. The Mutsuki outspots the Farragut by what, 1.5km? So this guy was detected the whole time and 6 to 8 enemy ships already fired at the Farragut plus the Mutsuki already launched torps. This 'amazing' push got him killed in no time (as i said, less than 2 minutes after game start, literally) and he was even abloeto get off one salvo at the Mutsuki which missed completely. I mean, there are bad player and there are braindead imbeciles like this guy. And of course he complained instantly in chat about the support. Like WTF?! So I told him, dude we can provide support but we can not cure stupidity, sorry. And if I had to choose between you or a Bot on my team, I'd pick the Bot over you anytime. So this was not even an insult, it was the truth, but ofc WG gives morons like this the option to report ME, because THEY are terrible at this game and get me chat banned.

    USA DD line or wait for the Pan Asia line?

    I prioritize the Lo Yang over Anshan for several reasons. 1) not everyone likes the low tier gameplay a.k.a. seal clubbing. 2) Lo Yang get a lot of tier 10 matches and this means, as permanent bottom tier you get a lot more XP than you do in tier 5-6. More XP means also more Free XP. 3) Lo Yang generate enough credits to play exclusively tier 10 without premium account. Someone, like me, who plays almost exclusively tier 8 to 10 need credits to maintain the cost and be able to grind other ship lines. Anshan Free XP bonus sounds nice, but have you actually played both (or check videos on YT)? Both generate a similar amount of Free XP per battle, but with Free XP flags the Lo Yang often surpasses the Anshan, because the base XP is simply higher on average. Some prefer Anshan, some prefer Lo Yang, both is fine with me.

    USA DD line or wait for the Pan Asia line?

    The answer is, buy the Lo Yang. It's a C-Hull Benson but Pan-Asia. Tier 8 is (mostly) the best tier, the Lo Yang plays like the US DD Benson (so pretty much like Nicholas B-Hull to Gearing) but it's in my opinion borderline overpowered with the buffed hydro. It's a good moneymaker and it will be an excellent commander trainer for the Pan-Asia DD line. But NOTE! The US DD line is very difficult to master and a lot who try struggle with them because of their gun arcs. They also have no gimmick, other than long lasting smoke, they are jack of all trades, decent at everything but not really good at anything. You like the Clemson, this ship is a seal clubber, means it is very very strong for its tier. The playstyle changes drastically with tier 5 Nicholas when you get the B-Hull, it is nowhere near to comparable to Clemson.

    Best DD for TX Clan Wars

    Despite the upcoming smoke changes?
  10. … finally a proper UI that shows the full player name everywhere in the game? Scoreboard, post-battle and so on, you know. It's ridiculous that after 2 years you still have not figured out how to display the FULL PLAYER NAMES always and everywhere. Now with clans and more and more people joining clans, all you see in the scoreboard is clan tags but no player names at all anymore. How the EFF do you compliment or report if you can not even see the name but only can guess based on clan tag and ship silhoutte. WoWs must be the only MMO who can not figure out how to display full names. And please spare us this nonsense of there is not enough space to show them. There are mods that use even bigger font and stuff that are able to show the full name and it perfectly fit in the UI. We are not in 2002 anymore where people only had 15" screens with a 800x600 resolution. BTW, change the lineup in battle to get rid of the stupid ship silhoutte and only show the 'abbreviation' ship icon, you know, like at the top of the screen to easy spot which ship is a CL, BB, DD, CV. This would also free up a lot of space to expand the player names. Do it! We know you can do it, we believe! Don't let us down and please add to the game what games already could provide back in the 1990's without any problem. Heck, even Gameboy could display full names, but not WoWs?

    Update 0.6.11 - General Feedback

    No idea what has changed, but since 0.6.10 the game takes forever when I exit the game client. From the moment I click Exit Game until the client actually closes and I'm on my desktop it takes sometimes up to 45 seconds. It never did this before, I have a decent computer and the game is installed on a SSD, so yeah, no clue what's going on.

    [TOXIC] +55%, >2k battles no veggies

    Yeah, almost worth to consider to apply. Can't use voice com anyway (wife agreement) and doing most of the time my own thing, usually high tier only. The clan tag also fit my behaviour when I'm forced to play with potato teams. UPDATE I might add that I'm neither a power farmer (family, job, not always in the mood to play WoWs which means some days I play not at all, other days I play 20+ games, it depends.) nor am I interested in any rewards for farming oil. I've played enough games and for too long, that my times as power grinder are over and I'm not interested in competetive clan battles and things like this at all. Ingame application sent.
  13. Damn, this requirement disqualifies me instantly ^^

    Please WG, now with clans can we have …

    It's not that this change would require a lot of work at all. I'm very sure that this is a matter of maybe 5 minutes (if at all) to fix. The problem with changes like this is more, that there is one little tiny thing that need to be changed but 8 people have to talk about it for 9 hours split between 6 meetings.

    Was kind of interested in PA DDs

    If they get the times that was leaked than I honestly think that they will have not such a huge impact. Especially if they have to sacrifice something else (like def AA, engine boost or something like this) for the radar. Tier 8/9/10 with radar duration of 10/12/15 seconds is not such a big deal if it's short range like 7.5km. We'll see, but WG probably find a way to screw this up and slap 25/30/35 seconds radar with a range of 9.5km on them, because reasons. ;) Actually I would like to see more ships and lines to be specialized on certain things. We have already too many jack of all trades in the game. Giving these DD both sets of torps would make them situational superior to what we have in game right now.

    Get your "Talk like a Pirate" Flag!

    Or play NA and have the RNG luck to sink a corgi fleet ship and you get the corgi flag that on first glance actually looks almost identical like Jolly Roger. But then again, rank 1 is pretty meaningless anyway, because you can brute force it with a well below 50% WR.

    Where is the thread containing

    On normal weekends it goes: facc these damn potatoes on my team. i gonna open a forum thread about this. On wows birthday weekend it goes: facc these damn potatoes on my team. oh well, at least i get a supercontainer. On wows birthday weekend it sometimes also goes: facc these damn potatoes on my team. oh well, at least i get a supercontainer. ah damn it, it's a special upgrade, i'll open a forum thread about this.
  22. Many of us will get mostly useless modules from the birthday SCs but do not sell them right away, because it's discount weekend and you get -50% credits for sold modules. Wait until next week to get the full credits value.
  23. Actually they are Special Upgrades commonly called Modifications or Modules or how WG put it, Modernizations. Others call them garbage, so whatever float the boat. ;)
  24. I spotted briefly a Yugumo, shot one salvo with only my back guns with my Gearing and missed him but still, he detonated. As you can see on the screenshot, 11k damage with 0 hits.
