Request Please add the option to assign a hotkey for 'lock bearing'. Right now it is set to CTRL+X and can not be changed. I'd like to assign it to another key but there is no option to do so.

Well, considering that this delay does not only affect EU but other regions too it's most likely a problem in their RU headquarters.

I did not receive the rewards too and emailed the support about it yesterday. They replied within minutes and said, that the rewards will be sent out shortly and if i didn't received them within 48 hours i should reply back so they can investigate further. We'll wait and see. BTW, i have my NA account linked with PTS so i have emailed the NA support not the EU support. I have tested a few times on PTS and there was never a problem with the rewards. This time however the testing phase was split into 2 sessions, maybe this caused some trouble on WG side.

1. Description The tech tree is blank, no ships or nations available. 2. Reproduction stepsN/A 3. Result N/A 4. Expected resultHaving a tech tree when i press the tech tree tab I have already run an integrity check but the problem remains. NOTE: this problem does only exist since the latest patch and only on EU. I also play on NA with an own NA client and everything works fine there. Screenshot of the problem

Is there a problem with gun sound? I played a few games in Hipper, Roon, Hindenburg and the gun firing sound is extremely quiet. I have to max the volume for gun fire and then it is still quieter than normal with the volume set to about 10%.

I've watched some streams with the first sneak peek of the French Cruisers and after all the nerfs to DDs am i really concerned that we will see no more DDs that are not RU. The high tier french cruisers with speed flag and boost outrun Gearing, Fletcher and a couple of other IJN/German DDs. This is especially important for late game, when you get closer to enemy ships to torp them and things like this. If you dare to get within 7-8km range of a french cruiser and this sucker has RPF you are pretty much dead, because he will catch you faster than you can imagine. This game is less and less fun to play from a DD captains point of view. There are already Cruisers and even BBs that almost catch up to Gearing/Fletcher and other slow high tier DDs, but the French Cruiser easily outrun these DDs and there is nothing you have to defend yourself as DD. All that is left is long range torpedo spam in most cases.

I don't know if this belong to bugs or elsewhere, because i am not able to reproduce it reliably. Randomly, when i zoom in (artillery camera), i have to press the hotkey a couple of time until the camera really zooms in. Same thing happen when i try to zoom out. Sometimes it works just fine, then i had it a few times in a row that the camera does not what i want it to do. It feels like the camera zoom has lag or something like this, really weird and dangerous while in a knifefight with another DD. I have read from people on PTS that they had a similar effect when they pressed other keys (e.g. WASD) and tried to zoom in. But as i said, i tried to reproduce it but i came to no reliable conclusion what this cam behavior triggers. I never had this prior to 0.6.3 and i also did not have this on PTS when i tested 0.6.3.

I'm sure all RU DD captains are very (read VERY) happy to read about this buff, while this change means more or less little to nothing for all other DDs.

This bug was fixed with todays PTS patch.

If you type a message in chat, for example team chat, and send the message with Enter, then press Enter again to switch to public chat and press Enter, your previous team message will be repeated into public chat - and of course vice versa.

Can confirm, Space key works now fine. NOTE: if you are dead and in spectator cam mode and you have assigned Space to a different function, you can not move the camera to a target object (Ship, Plane). There is new option in the hotkey-setting where you can assign a new key.

1. DescriptionWhile in free spectator cam mode and moving the camera around with WASD keys it is not possible to turn the camera with the mouse. 2. Reproduction stepsJoin a battle, die, press Shift to enter free cam mode, move the camera with WASD keys and try to turn the camera into different directions. 3. ResultThe free camera behaves as if it would bounce against some invisible objects and the camera jumps back in the previous position. 4. Expected resultFree cam to move around and allow me to turn the camera into different directions. 5. Technical detailsN/A

1. DescriptionWhile in free spectator deatch cam (dead and pressing Shift to get in free spectator cam mode) the camera accept all key commands when i enter the chat by pressing Enter. 2. Reproduction stepsJoin a battle, die, press Shift to enter free cam mode, press Enter to type in chat and write something. 3. ResultThe free camera consider the stuff one type in chat while in free cam mode as commands and change position, jump to next ship and so on. 4. Expected result'Static' free cam while i write something in chat 5. Technical detailsN/A Short video clip to demonstrate the problem ingame.

Ask the testers of the german DDs how these ships played with the ability of stealth firing and how they play now, when the detectability after firing a gun was changed. The ships went from a 9/10 to a 3/10 and the same will happen to the US and IJN DD lines.

I have reported a problem with the space bar (reserved key) in a 0.6.2 thread that is gone now. I had to post it there, like others posted reports in the 0.6.2 threads, because the 0.6.3 threads were not available after the PTS already started. Now i see the old threads are gone but the 0.6.3 reports are not copied over. Seriously, is there anything you EU guys can do right? Is it so hard to publish the PTS feedback threads when the PTS goes live? Now people gave feedback / bug reports for a new PTS phase in the old threads and nobody knows if you did read them, others do not know if a problem have already been reported and so on.

It's kinda interesting that almost everybody (also some OMNIs) who tested the german DDs said how great these ships were. Then they got the last second change before release where their detection range when firing a gun was increased and they could not stealth fire anymore and the opinion from pretty much every tester changed to 'sucks donkey balls now'. The same will happen to the US DDs and IJN DDs.

I use since forever the space bar, instead of the left shift key, to zoom in. On PTS the spacebar is the ONLY key i can not assign and only get the message 'hotkey reserved'. The space bar is assigned to another function and even if i clear this assignment i can not reassign the space bar to artillery cam. I strongly hope this will be fixed before it goes live!

You are not supposed to watch these videos for the good music but to worship Dasha.

I play on NA and EU and have 2 clients installed. While the NA client updated normally without problems, did i have the same problem with the 'wrong game version' on the EU client. However, the re-download after the integrity check was only about 180MB.

The usual ... A few scumbags abuse the system and the whole community get punished and sanctioned. Must be really hard to simply establish a zero tolerance policy BEFORE ranked season and if someone decide to be a scumbag, ban him from this ranked and the next ranked season entirely. Problem solved! But it's much easier -and cheaper for WG- to just cut down the rewards again (not that we did not got screwed over enough already by all the container, ranked reward, flags nerfs) and remove the ONLY incentive the super league had. Well played WG, as usual.

I hope the Shipnames on the minimap will be made editable via config file, because some names are really weird and confusing. Some examples: MNKZ = Minekaze FRGT = Farragut FRTK = Furutaka KBRG = Königsberg EG = Gaede (EG stands for Ernst Gaede but ingame, on the map, in tech tree, everywhere is the ship named Gaede) and so on ... those display names are horrible! Better use the full name or when it's a long name use at least the first part of the ship name. Example: MINE = Minekaze FARRA = Farragut FURU = Furutaka and so on. The ship names on the minimap are meant to be helpful, it's important to recognize the name with the blink of an eye and not after doing some 2 minute encryption what FRGT or FRTK could possibly stand for.

What does this have to do with the public test patch, new maps, sound improvements and game stability?

This is actually not so bad, because it happened in the past that patches/updates were buggy and needed a fix and due to the release delay on EU, we got the fixed version right away without the bug trouble. So NA is EU's betatester :p

And this was not the first time i got detonated by a fort. I've posted another screenshot a while ago when this happened. Sugestions to improve bastion mode? I have no suggestions, the game mode is just bad, it is no fun, it makes no sense, it promotes camping and staying away from the cap zones because you get spoted a mile away. And while we are at it, i've also made a post some time ago about the surveilance stations that spotted me at 6km+ when my ship had 5.8km concealment, because the station obviously did not considered concealment from camo/commander. Also check flamu's vids, he has fun and engaging clips on YT where he also got detonated and there are other clips on YT where a Fort got technically kraken! If this is not extremely poor game design then i don't know. My suggestion is: get rid of bastion mode completely. It was never fun to play, it will never be fun to play. And i do not know one single player what goes 'yay bastion, great i love it' if you ask about this game mode.
