Can we all agree to call it the Supizuki?

This was a stupid game. The map itself is not great and even less as standard battle mode. I parked at the island where usually B is to provide an AA bubble. You CV lost a bunch of planes there and probably lost interest in the game, I dunno. Then our moronic Iowa had the urge to also push forward to that tiny island and rammed me into the island and pushed me forward which made me stuck there, half the ship exposed to your fleet, so I lost 40% for nothing. Of course he died in forus fire within seconds. Later the game I pushed forward to kill that Missouri and Z-46 but our genius Udaloi passed me twice without popping smoke and when I was about to die and it was too late, he smoked up my corpse. Nope, this was not a game to remember. ^^

From my understanding, a shell has to penetrate the hull and explode inside the ship in the ammunition depot. If there is an explosion radius, then it should penetrate the hull and therefore should appear as at least 1 hit, not 0 hit. The whole mechanic is stupid and even more so, if you can detonate without a direct hit.

Not sure if this thread is only about the game or also the forum. Anyway, this is a forum suggestion. It would be nice to see the clan (the ingame clan tag, not the full clan name) of a player in the forums. It could replace the 'forum rank' below the name on the left side.

You can check this ingame. If you go to Profile / Summary in the overview is number of Draws. I have played more than 5k battles and I have 2 draws. Long ago, before I played WoWs, there was a game mode where Draws were pretty much standard. A team only won if they capped a huge zone (like epicenter size cap zone) and there was a million islands and stuff and as long as someone of the enemy team was in that zone you could not cap it. So it was very common that time ran out and the game ended with a draw.

If your team did not lose more than 2 and the enemy team has a couple alive but lost the match by points it means, that this was a horrible game and the sooner it is over the better. No need to extend the points just so you can kill the remaining players, because there wont be a miracle where they turn the game and still win it if only more points would be available. If at all, then maps should be made smaller and points as well as play time should be reduced to make games faster paced.

Microsoft can learn so much from WG. Never admit an own fault, always blame the customer and tell him to git gud.

As a proud potato, according to your unobtrusive signature, should you use the weapon and ammo of coice for potatoes.

This actually pisses me off too. I hate this new News icon as well as the permanent annoyance of the Premium Shop link.

1. Wait for the patch 2. Create division 3. Use smoke 4. Get rekt 5. Open forum post and cry

It's very common in the world of software. There are tons of very popular software that is around for many many years and still in alpha or beta phase. I guess companies do this for legal reasons, so nobody can complain about certain things because of the 'it's beta, use at your own risk' clause.

It's actually very interesting that the lowest % for DD is at Tier 8. I absolutely love Tier 8 as DD because it gives so much XP when uptiered and Benson / Lo Yang does well against Tier 9 and 10.

Well, the russian website news got this paragraph to clarify it for RU, but since the event seem to be equal on all servers, chances are that it also applies to EU.

I wonder how many low HP DDs will die as collateral damage when a BB hijack the smoke and start shooting, enemy ships return fire into the smoke and the dispersion of incoming fire hit the poor DD.

The official tutorials are from 2015 and outdated and in some cases provide simply wrong information, which make the whole 'official tutorial stuff' complete useless. Have you ever tried to find real tutorials for this game on YT? Good luck, there are no noobfriendly tutorials that teach the basic in a good and understandable way. And do not forget, not everyone lives on the internet and know all about the top secret search hacks how to find tutorials on a topic you do not even know the name about. Or do you think a noob knows what saturation or overpens are? No? Well, how is he suposed to search for those terms if he does not even know them? No, it has been criticised a million times, WoWs lacks a proper and good ingame tutorial that force newbs to learn before they can join random battles to ruin everyones life.

@22cm Sorry, couldn't say Hi ingame, because monday is my traditional chat ban day, that's the post-weekend effects of playing with weekend warriors.

The 2 SC from the 3rd stage of the campaign

I was very interested in this line too but then I met some of them (tier 8 and tier 10) ingame and, well, I ripped them to shreds with Lo Yang, Gearing, Z-52, Benson. My interest dropped to zero, because why would I want to grind a ship line that is in its current state inferior to the ships we have already in the game. Yeah, they are supertested right now and will perhaps be buffed in some way, but still... Not impressed by their performance so far.

I see, you only want to see videos that show the CM in a bad light but not videos that show how to use this ship to its potential and wreck enemies left and right. And to emphasize that only your point of view is correct you exaggerate these 20 citadels and 215k damage being all shots on a broadside Shchors. Gotcha.

My very first guess would be that you installed the game on your Windows drive (usually C) and the folder does not have the correct writing permissions which hinders WoWs to write the config file. If you want to know how to set file (or folder) permissions -> google, there are literally millions of guides, tutorials, vidoes that explain how it works. Second solution, install the game with administrator rights. Again -> google for how-to. Third solution, install the game on a different partition (or drive) other than your windows.

I'd call this clan SPIT (Salty Potatoes In Tears) because potatoes fail more often than they succeed and then they are crying their salty tears into the chat of how bad the team is and that nobody supported the potato DD capping and dying within the first 3 minutes of the game and the soon to be late lonely yoloing Cruiser who tried to stop the whole enemy fleet on one flank while his own fleet is on the other side of the map.

I don't know, AP looks fine to me if you know how and when to use it.

Gun bloom is related to the gun caliber, so by this logic yes, the 150's will bloom further than the 128's. But since it's WG nobody (this include the devs too) knows and we all have just to git gud adapt. In case they mess up the gun bloom, which they will, be assured that they will do their best to fix it soon™ after the changes go live. Is it only me or is WoWs with all these stupid changes less and less fun to play?

Seriously, why does this camo exist and why do I keep getting these from containers? I do not know one player who is using the type 2, because it is just useless trash. I mean if it would grant +8% or +10% dispersion from incoming fire than it might be worth a consideration to use over the standard camos with -3% detection. I strongly suggest to remove type 2 from containers or better, from the game entirely.

Hopefully WG fix this before the patch hit EU tomorrow but you never know. After updating the NA client to 0.6.10 the game launches normal but once you are in port is all you get a loading icon (the round spinning wg loading thing, u know). No ships are loaded, no menus work, nothing works not even exit the game. Only way out is to kill the task in the task manager. The solution seem to be to run an integrity check in the launcher. And here comes the joy, myself had to redownload 2.9 GB data while others reported in the NA forums they had to redownload up to 6.3 GB and had to run the integrity check repeatedly before the game finally worked again. So be prepared and know what to do in case we get the same borked patch on EU tomorrow.
