why would any sane person play CV only Brawls ?

You are asking for the impossible ... User friendly design is an alien concept for WG.

Had to claim the commander in-game. On the website all windows lit, cannot claim commander (tried for 2 days). Excellent programming WG.

nailed it exactly. people are not playing the game to be good, they are grinding for content ...

What's the problem ? Teams are more or less evenly matched ... all red ... great success ?

WT has a nice complete simulator for that ingame ... You can select tanks/ammo and targets and even change impact location and angle and you can see what's exactly going on ... one can only dream ...

how long did we wait for the operations rework ? cut them some slack :-)

Why should they ? They just executed a very successful Operations rework a few patches ago ... with pats on the back and champagne all around ...

They also said superships will only be accessible after you have a few T10 ships researched and then they reneg on that and put them into auctions. So saying one thing and doing another is common practice with WG.

Dear WG, combat instructions are means to an end. So what is your vision of the ROLE of these ships in a typical random battle ? These are LIGHT cruisers with high velocity shells without HE. So if they try to open-water, you can just angle and they do nothing. Meanwhile radar is CLOSE range (9km for a cruiser is close range) and armor does not prevent overmatch by BBs. So their only potential to get close and be effective is the heal and torpedoes. The stated gameplay is full of contradictions to the actual ship parameters.

The rating in port is a comparison between ships of same class and tier only. So it is 96 in relation to all the other super DDs. Nothing more, nothing less. It does not tell anything about the AA effectiveness against actual planes.

more importantly, the current aiming mechanics depend on target lock being acquired and this would have to work somehow with that as well ... so it is not only visibility of the target but also what restrictions apply to what you can do to it ... kinda like submarines that have cutoff depths for certain interactions ....

I have noticed one thing, not a bug, likely an intentional feature: The discount on the first permacamo goes away even if you own a permacamo that CANNOT be bought. F.e. I have the Congratulatory Z-23 permacamo from the collection. This camo cannot be bought for doubloons. However I cannot buy the standard permacamo for the "1st permacamo discount" anymore. I guess that is my misunderstanding here, but based on the descriptions when the change was implemented, I thought the discount will only apply for camos that can be bought for doubloons and event/collection permacamos will not affect it. I mean it makes no sense to have that bonus otherwise. You can get a permacamo from an event by accident (just by playing) since you cannot decline missions and they all automatically track progress on gameplay. Or it drops from a container that you acquired from such a mission etc .... removing the option for the discount.

Interesting, I am used to ping RPF directions while approaching cap before anything was spotted and never had any issue with that ...

I have trouble finishing the christmas rewards on all my ships (and I do not have many) even when coal is infinitely more useful to me than the eco bonuses the BP hands out ... the game is so boring lately ...

Ah, discount on Sun tokens ? How generous ... Where can I buy those for the normal price ? Oh I cannot ... Hmmm ... I am sure WG is aware this practice is illegal in most (if not all) of the EU ? The discounted item has to be available for purchase for the non-discounted price for several weeks before it can be legally discounted. And that's not talking about the questionable but (unfortunately) still legal gambling.

I guess this is nothing new, the Premium account time difference between Port and Armory: 1. Armory 2. Port There is a HUGE difference in meaning here. Armory says 2 days and 3 hours, Port says 3 days (screenshots taken within seconds from each other ) ... The display in Port is clearly WRONG yet it is the one players see the most often. It would be nice to have an Accurate or at least CONSERVATIVE display in the Port (meaning if I have between 2 days and 3 days, 2 days is displayed as example).

And when I read posts like these I do wonder about the playerbase ... We are talking about individual GAME level contribution, not skill of the player ... but thanks for sharing ... in your world view good players that have not yet reached T10 do not exist ....

basexp is the only relevant metric we have of a players contribution to battle. WG is basing a lot of their decisions on that metric. so arguing about something we cannot measure is irrelevant. in that same vein we should abandon the AFK penalty at all in that case because we cannot establish a fair basis for the punishment ....

simple, same rules apply but you have to be on the last 3 places by base xp ? f.e. you earn the AFK flag but you are not on the last 3 places so you contributed MORE than people that were active during the whole battle, so your contribution even with the AFK part WAS more than participating players, you qualify as a participating player and the AFK penalty is not applied .... I think that is simple enough to understand and respects the contribution a player had during the battle. I mean somebody who yoloes at the start, does some damage and is sunk, finishing last place on the team, should be punished more heavily than a player that finished middle of the team but was 1/2 the game time afk ...

While we are at it, can we search ships by captain ? I.e. all ships with 21pt captains etc ? The current Reserve "interface" is unusable for any captain management other than to assign a captain to a ship ....

How do you tell a claimed window from an unclaimed one ? I always click on all the lit ones because I have not found an indicator of unclaimed gifts ...

14 small containers, got only crud (1k dubs and 2.5k coal best drop)

What is: Also looks like I will sit out the Ranked season, CVs allowed again. Maybe an Operations update for me ? Or I'll finally focus on the 5 Epochs of the Navy campaign ...

Windows 10 is already EOLed by Microsoft ? I must have missed the news ...
