unfortunatelly WoWs is moving from a distinct look to a Metro UI style flat rectangular smudge ... but hey ... why should the customer have any say in the product ...

Pardon me, WHAT ? Less contrast, more muted colors, actually SMALLER than before and they are easier to distinguish ? Now I have to look twice on the EU / Commonwealth flags ti pick the correct one as the shade of blue is not almost identical ...

Pardon my ignorance, I do not play CVs ... wouldn't at least an overmatch armor thickness be displayed ? I mean that's how all AP projectiles work in this game ... or do the rockets work more like SAP ? but then the flat SAP penetration would be displayed ...

I don't remember that from the birthday event ... can you point me to your source ? I went through the patch article again and nothing such is stated in the performance bonuses section ...

Am I blind or the rocket armor penetration is nowhere stated for the CV ... can somebody post the value ?

Erm no ... I was able to select 2 ships to claim additional bonuses on. It's the feature allowing you to skip some ships so you don't have to play one battle each ship. Those are not free bonuses. See right there, I have 2 tokens in the Armory and 2 ships with claimed Festive rewards but I have NOT played a battle that would qualify for such (I have played Ragnar and Yueyang in Coop only at T10 and they still have their rewards to claim).

Yeah I have redeemed the bonuscode yesterday, still cannot redeem the gift ... so why should I trust the others will work ?

I started the game today and was greeted by 2 bonuses to claim for T10 ships. However I only played 1 battle in Ragnar and one in YY in coop YESTERDAY when the event was not yet active and I have definitely NOT achieved enough BXP for the additional reward. I did play some ranked games but still yesterday. So how is that possible ?

Sit cannot track anything because this is a 1 year necro ....

So why is it called a gift when he have to work for it ? Like 1st Dockyard stage as example ... Those should be simple missions ingame, that's not gifts ....

Yeah that's the funny thing, all team related tasks (tanking and spotting) either do not have an achievement or do not depend solely on your performance to obtain. All the other are self-sufficient. Team play is honored only in winrate and related stats (bonus for wining) yet selfish play is honored in winrate AND EVERYTHING ELSE ... And we are wondering why the playerbase is in the state it is ....

They can still use the website for that. I never used the news section other than to click on "Mark all as read" to get rid of the red blob ...

We are not stupid, we can read. However I was pointing out that there was NO REASON to remove Fjords as the winter one has a different name yet you did it. Now I am on Ocean because the best port was removed by greedy decision ... If Fjords was CHANGED but remained under the same name, it would be somewhat understandable ...

Aaaand look where I started, a proposal to massively increase the FLAK coverage in exchange for giving up surface DPM for the time being ... thank you for following the conversation and not just the last post ...

Well they managed to ruin the best port in the game ... If they pick a new name, why not keep the normal version as well ? Oh wait ... it's WG, logic and user friendly don't mean anything in their world ...

2/7th tick does no apply to flack clouds, only to continuous DPM

well ... I cannot help WGs stupidity, they implemented AA guns as unloaded and start loading only when planes enter AA range ... I mean who in their right mind would do that ? you see planes you start loading ... but not in WoWs ... you simply cannot argue against a future change with current implementation as the change will need other things to be changed as well to work properly ... just look at the fail that was smoke firing penalty for dual-caliber ships. their penalty is fixed to the largest caliber because the property is implemented on the HULL and not the GUNS. so there is NO reason to pick the lower caliber guns at all. yes you have a point that in the current rules the change would make no point. but it would require a general AA mechanic rework to make sense anyway ...

Not realism, just simple math. I have a 12 DP gun broadside, I expect 12 flak clouds. But actually using DP guns at a single target only would be a nice change for a change :-) I mean you could get MORE AA power in exchange for not being able to target surface ships at the same time which would add a new dimension into CV interactions. But that's too much to ask from WG I guess ...

That's a completely bullcrap point. In reality 40mm+ AA guns had exploding shells that could put up a flak cloud barrage yet in WoWs they are not capable of such. Another point in that is number of flak clouds vs number of large caliber AA guns ... just look at the Atlanta. So using 203s as AA guns poses no obstacles in the current system, maybe a new value for flak explosion damage ....

what was the purpose of your comment ? or you do not realize you are trying to say a howitzer (or mortar is the correct term?) having a higher elevation angle has a longer range than a cannon ? really ? dual-purpose in the context it is used in Warships means high elevation gun able to shoot at surface and aerial targets. so a dual-purpose gun that is not factored into AA defense is NOT a dual-purpose gun ... or do you understand that differently ?

and I heard somewhere they don't stack ? may be wrong on that ...

yes please, I love the Illinois already. I'll farm it to no end in any gunboat DD, the ship will be completely helpless ... oh and what's the 2nd purpose of the dual-purpose main battery guns when they don't figure in AA stats ? looking pretty ?

no, of course not .... but just comparing to CVs f.e., the CV debate is a bit more balanced ...

you know it is interesting but I can count about 3-4 names on these forums that are pro-sub while there are a few dozen that are against ... if the situation would be "normal" I'd expect a lot more submarine defenders on these forums ...

That means it is installing on your PC already, otherwise you'd have download speed and download progress displayed. So that is only your local CPU and HDD (whatever you might have) that bottleneck that. I guess since you probably have early update download configured (as is the default) you never actually see the download :-)
