    When does camping become a problem?

    Thats an interesting, super skewed view. For what reason exactly would the red team have all caps when the innitial situation was both teams camping at islands? And how come they see me behind my island while I dont see them behind their island? How come my team cant do anything while the enemy team can/could? Super weird. Anyway my point stays: Heavy camping matches I dont care. They are easy to win and controled in your favour. Reason how to do it and way is explained above perfectly from my friend @GarrusBrutus with the edit on the screenshot.

    When does camping become a problem?

    I disagree with that. If everyone does it, you will profit from it if you do it better then everyone else. IMO the truth is hidden here: And with the ships related to that. Some ships dont do well when tanking. If we stay on T10 and especially cruisers, Minotaur, Des Moines (thanks for oversaturation of 457+ mm BBs) and Smolensk come to mind. How could you help your team by drawing fire in those ships, when the enemy have a Stalingrad sitting bow in tanking your teams shots? And here is the problem: When you bring a ship, that isnt made for tanking, while the matchmaker puts a heavy-tanking cruiser against you (like Stalingrad or Puerto Rico) then the enemys are at an advantage in that category right away. There is nothing you can do about it and risking your ship doesnt make it better. What you need to do, is be more effective at dealing damage then the enemys. This way, you can win this race of tanking vs. damage dealing and turn the odds of winning in your favour. Now if the said ships are generally better at dealing damage then the tanky cruisers is ofc another question and a matter of balancing. And completly down to how your team plays it. If people cant read the line ups, dont understand the advantages and disadvantages given and play accordingly, you can think about your own playstyle and ship as much as you want, its not gonna help winning the game. See above - you dont, you cant. People asking squishy glass cannons to tank are a lost cause at that moment. And they wont listen to anything you can say to them in the short period of the game anyway. Ive tried many times and with the expection of 2 or 3 occasions, they will just get more angry at you.
  3. What im adressing concerns the perma camos, that could/can be achieved for free in the game. This is for example the New Year camoflage for T8/9/10 aswell as the current Epoch-perma camos. Ill use my Kiev as an example: Once I have connected them to a ship, they can not be dismounted. Which ofc kinda makes sense, else I could just switch it around to my liking and 1 but be enough for my entire fleet. Yet there are every once in a while possibilites to achieve a perma camo for a certain ship, like right now with the Bismarck. Since they usualy offer you the same bonuses, you have no "gain" besides a different skin on your ship. Hence why Id like an option to be added to de-mount and reassign the permanent universal camos (New Year & Epoch) for a reasonable dubloon price. Something like 1000 or 1500 prolly or it will be tied to the tier of the ship. 1/3 to 1/2 of the price of a regular perma camo sounds reasonable to me. What does the community think and how does this sound? @MrConway @Sehales @Crysantos

    Why WoWS is not fun anymore

    Lul typical. Let me add a few other gusses: Your Bismarck divi ofc didnt shoot the radar cruisers because "BB iz main target" the Moskva raped your DD on the other side with his radar & both the other radar cruisers are still at full health :D But yea bottomline: I fully agree. I dont really have huge problems with the game itself, atleast not to a degree, that it would stop me from playing, but actually the hughly incompetent playerbase is keeping me away from the game. I would play a lot more randoms if it werent for that.

    CV nerf - wow that hammer went pretty steep

    Its 100% obvious you actually are not. Have you, at some point, concidered, that its actually an issue with your performance? With you not knowing how to play the class? Do you think, your Performance in a T10 CV is "CV peak" so to speak, which puts you in a position to make statements like these: Have you ever concidered learning the game from scratch? That playing on T10 requires a certain skill set to be in place, so that you know, how exactly to do what? Or do you think, that once reaching T10, you have access to the best ship and you have a right to play that & should automatically outperform everything just simply because it says "T10"? Because it looks awefully like it:

    Desync again

    Paket loss is exactly what im guessing to be the problem. And perfectly logic that it happens during times, when a lot of people are playing...

    Desync again

    Same here yesterday in the later afternoon~evening. Not only do I see the shells hitting the enemy ships, I hear it! The sound it makes, when your shells hit an enemy, and from those I could atleast distinguish 3 or 4 hits. Game says 1

    Matchmaker Discussion Thread & MM Balance

    Quite obvious, DDs decided this game. Enemys had 3 decent playing DDs, you had 1 afk, 1 useless and 1 decent. So enlighten us: how do you want to balance afk people? How should the system know one guy decided to be afk? Id like to know since I had one of those yesterday myself, who had a huge part in losing the game. And how do you balance the other DD beeing bad at what he does? ban him from the game?

    Why I didn't get into the game.

    The most annoying HE fire is the one unleashed by BBs. I had 3 BBs today spamming HE at me (Thunderer - big surprise, a Kurfürst - that seems to be a thing lately? and a Montana). bämm. 2 fires. DCP. bämm. another 2 fires. wtf. All while they kite into the map border. The thing is, its almost smart to combine such HE fire, because it WILL bring the enemy down - you cant sustain 3 BBs shooting HE at you. For the moment its fine but give them some time... Anyway, they usually lose the game because exactly this: it takes too long. They could have deleted some cruisers meanwhile or even caught another BB broadside for massive damage. Yet they are happy with their results and the game actually does reward them. Thunderer was top XP in the enemy team, I had 2 perma fires at the time we hit 1000 points with no more heals, DCP on cooldown and about 1800 health left. I was happy I didnt gave him the satisfaction of a kill :) But yes, once again: problem is the game rewarding this play. XP for fire damage [from BBs] should be reducuded. Or you lower the fire chance of BBs HE...

    Why I didn't get into the game.

    DDs have the lowest survivability of all ships. Thats across nations/tiers.

    Matchmaker Discussion Thread & MM Balance

    Nice little story for all the people whining about +/-2 mm and claiming, its this that makes them lose games because they are low tier: Today, in a T7 to T9 game, the Zara right next to me starts instantly bitsin about the matchmaking. He goes into reverse and afk into the map border. Thats how the match played out: - The enemy T7 cruiser (myoko) ruins my game, by slamming 10k into my DD during a radar - Enemy DDs decide the game, because I dont get the fire support the enemy DD gets from his T7 teammate - guess what would have been the perfect tool against enemy DDs? Thats right, italian SAP from the Zara. So in this tiny brains of that guy, he lost the game because he was thrown under the bus as low tier. Yet he completly doesnt get the fact, that his decision to go afk, had a huuuge impact on losing the game. Dont be the tiny brain guy.
  12. @Darkeid and his division mate earlier on two brothers. Not nice what your division mate said to us, thats all im gonna say.

    AXIS clan renamed???

    My bet is, that AXIS will contact MrConway and he will restore the clanname. Some support guy was just way too trigger happy, after some dude, who prolly got sunk by an AXIS-member, was super triggered and angry to the bone. Give it a few days, its gonna sort itself out.

    Matchmaker Discussion Thread & MM Balance

    Seems like you understand as much about Chernobyl as about game balancing. erm. no. You can follow or look up the offical wargaming twitch account, look up some of the Q&A streams as well as some of the streams with the developers, and they will constantly say exactly this. So this should answer this aswell as your innitial question? You are welcome.

    Manfred von Richtofen: how long before the nerf??

    If you follow WG, thats precisly their business model. They throw something out, which at that point has some sort of advantage or is just a liiitle bit too strong (oops, ofc that was a mistake). Then, once the playerbase is saturated (read: spend enough money), the nerfs start to kick in or magically something new gets released, which counters the precessor perfectly. What we ask for simply doesnt matter... Thats my clan, not my name You just described yourself perfectly.

    Manfred von Richtofen: how long before the nerf??

    Are you proud about your performance in the other classes aswell? Its rather that you couldnt make any other class work hm? How about your performance in DDs? Thats right, the class, that you complain about having "no counter" against? Or BBs? Where you said - and I quote - " BB [...] punish errors from enemy ships deleting them in one salvo" - how come, your avg damage in BBs is not even enough to delete even one ship, and thats for an entire duration of a game? How come, you claim - and I quote again "CV does even less damage overall [then other classes]" yet thats a) completly untrue for average stats and b) nothing short of a blatant lie for your own stats? Sorting by average damage on your account, 8 out of 10 top ships and among it the first 5 - are CVs. Why do you think you can tell lies here and expect to get away with it? You think people will not check up on your claims? Why do you lie, tell us? I can tell you why. Because you want your favourite class, the only one, where you manage to perform above average in, to get even stronger. You dont look for "strategic gameplay" - you are looking for an easy way to play. Dishonesty. Last but not least: nuff said, you managed to make yourself sound quite hilarious here.

    Manfred von Richtofen: how long before the nerf??

    When a way below avg player in any class except one asks for a buff for a ship, where he did 73,68% WR in ranked with. This is a perfect example why MvR needs a nerf.

    DD Hatsuharu can't get the hang of it

    With the emphasis on "competent CV player" - which most simply are not. So, when talking about actual reality, his assessment still stands.

    DD Hatsuharu can't get the hang of it

    Hatsuharu aint a gun boat. You have good concealment and pretty good torps. Stay stealthy, dont overextend - your torps have enough range in most cases. You outspot a lot of DDs you meet, so you need situational awareness and the right movements to make that work. Then you team can take care of the enemy DDs. I had a great time grinding Hatsu - 10/10 would do again.

    30 seconds render delay - you sure must be exaggerating, and a lot. If not, then please make a video of that and show this to us.

    Chargeback Ban

    Its rather the complex situation with several variables that makes it hard to really see, what happend and even more important, where it went wrong. But at the end of the day, its not even important, that we (as the other forumites) fully understand what happened. We linked you the needed steps to take and marked the important people, that can help you out. Im sure they will pop up here in the topic, almost guarenteed some point tomorrow, so keep an eye out. For the rest of us, there is really not much more that we can do. But im sure, everything is gonna get sorted in the end, we have some really awesome community managers in this game and they´ll help you out for sure. Its just that its weekend and there was King of the Seas, so they are busy or not available so far...

    Chargeback Ban

    Technically, he isnt asking for a refund. The thing, that is somewhat wague to me, is, if the ticket really was created to WG or to steam. If the money was returned to his steam account, that could only mean, he created the ticket via Steam and steam drew back the money from WG, right? Which then ofc does result in a ban of his ships account. This way, it all makes sense. So you need to get in touch with WG (either some of the marked guys will reply here or you use the support directly on the webpage --> https://eu.wargaming.net/support/en/products/wows/?utm_content=cm-top&utm_source=global-nav&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=wows-portal Keep it as simple as possible, just ask them, how much you owe them (if steam really drew back the money from them) and that you want a warships premium instead of a WG premium. That should get you back on track pretty quick.
  24. Earlier with @lossi_2018 in the same team in coop - I only now realized after closing the port message xD Would have said something but I didnt pay much attention to that game, so I didnt saw you - was tabbed out first, then only rushed & torped & rammed (getting the damage mission with RN cruisers)
