I have a Harekaze and it is one my favorite ships. But as I said in the OP, I have some doubloons, so it is not real, real money. I am just interested is Asashio enjoyable enough to play (= contribute to a win in a meaningful manner) or if it will become another port queen, rusting.... On another topic, the choices are very limited when it comes to doubloon spending.... The tech tree choices are rather meh and I am not really interested in premium time.... The only destroyers (or cruisers) that I don't have are not available for purchase for doubloons.

Frankly, I think that Yugumo is stronger at its tier than Shima. My advice is to learn to play it with 12km torps and reload booster, no smoke. Guns upgrade is not worth it really, you are a pinnacle of IJN DD torpboat line....

Gameplay is very good. I really hope that we will see proper tech trees ingame....

Solved, although a recruiter can start a battle, a recruiter can't set the prime time. And of course no info to explain who can do what. And no error message., just nothing happens.

No, because it says "No Prime Time Selected"

We get to this screen, we select YES and nothing happens..... I am a recruiter - must it be higher ranked officer of the clan? @Crysantos @MrConway

I have proposed this about a year ago and there were three type of answers, generally: 1. From forum trolls, aka know-it-alls who said it can't be done and I am a noob and better L2P - no rational argument why it shouldn't be done from this group. My advice, ignore this group. 2. Clan members from well known and good clans were opposed to the idea. Their reasoning was that they study the map to exquisite details (specially for clan wars) to exploit the map peculiarities, thus giving them advantage in battle. Randomly generated maps would negate such advantage. While I don't agree with coloring by numbers approach, it is a valid argument. 3. Minority of the forum members were open to the idea. I would say yes.

Checked that already, but no. Thx anyway....

@Crysantos Just extend it for two lost days and throw in some "We are sorry for inconvenience" rewards and all is forgiven ...

I followed the links, told that I am already participating in the offer, but got no mission? Anyone else with a similar experience? P.S. It might happened that I got it and finished without noticing - is there a way to check?

It happened to me twice in the last few days. Tried to restart the client, no luck. When game loads and connects, it goes into same mode, no UI....

I really liked it. It is not a mindless grind like normal Ranked (certainly less toxic chat) and lower tiers need some love. The best part is that you can play in a division. Makes difference (IMHO) between fun and grind. Please keep this format!

Two ideas that could help with both aspects. 1. Limit the number of planes. That will make it for a more interesting and tactical gameplay. 2. Fighters mechanic should be reworked completely. Maybe allow for a simple waypoint setting of CAP. Once it is set, it is automatic and player has no more control over planes until cooldown is over and new CAP is ready. This can prevent CV snipes, provide protection for the fleet and make it more interesting. As it is, while rework is a nice eye-candy, it feels VERY VERY shallow and repetitive ( = boring after a few games)

Thank you for invite to participate! I have played only 3 games and this is some early observations: PRO: 1. Looks very pretty. No two ways about it. 2. Torp runs are intuitive and entertaining CON: 1. Unlimited plane reserves just feels wrong. Reduces complexity and removes any need for thinking about limited resources. I think you should limit number of planes 2. Players are way more isolated from the rest of the team than they were before. IMHO, this change reduced teamplay role of CVs 3. No control over CV while flying. Please bring it back 4. AA is not that intuitive to dodge (yes it looks great) 5. From BB/DD/CA perspective, why no CTRL + Click to target a squad? 6. Fighters are very gimmicky. Still have to use them effectively 7. It is quite hard to hit moving DD with rockets and when it happens, damage is quite small. If DD sneaks on CV, CV has absolutely no chance of defending itslelf. Specially, as you cant control it to dodge torps. UNDECIDED: 1. I think it might be very repetitive in a long run, but I will be able to tell after a few more games 2. Speed of airplanes is too fast, they zoom over the map. Good or bad? 3. Not sure yet of impact of W and S keys on attack pattern All in all, completely different game. There is nothing much that would make me want to play CVs (planes actually) in this new format.

Don't they always?

Sounds like "2018 Year of a Collector"

Yes

Maybe it is not most - fine. I will concede that it might be one way or another. However , we all know that they are there and probably in every single game. And I do know when to use HE on BB - my BB stats are actually fairly decent as by the time when I started playing them, I learnt enough about mechanics. What I was trying to say is that I don't agree with the argument raised that WG shouldn't fix AP damage on DDs, as that will increase number of HE spamming BBs. Good BB player will know when to switch from AP to HE and vice versa. A bad BB player should be punished for bad choices - JUST AS ANY OTHER CLASS. Broadsiding CA, spotted DD, etc. And I agree that a DD player who misplayed should be punished. I have NEVER EVER said anything contrary to that. However, I am saying that as a DD player I got blapped quite a few times by a random AP shots from 15+ km and I don't think that is intended or indeed defensible.

Let's try this again now, this time civilized? Read the posts before -there are quite a few posts complaining about HE spamming BBs. And if you read the forums (as I know you do) - HE spamming BBs issue has been identified on numerous occasions. I do not see the point that you are trying to make? Are you saying it is not true? Could it be anecdotal, yes it can be - but it is impossible to prove one way or another. Certainly there are enough posts to support this observation. At the end - a simple question to you : do you agree that most of BBs are abusing HE (aka HE spamming) or not? What about other point that I made and you completely ignored with an irrelevant post - do you think that BBs should not be punished for lack of awareness and bad tactical choices?

The lowest common denominator confirmed- when arguments fail, use a dumb gif or meme. HF.

First Right: And your point is? Second Right: What that has to do about AP damage with BB? And yes, if DDs play bad they should be punished. The same way that a BB caught out of position, with no map awareness should be punished? Stop trolling. Or do I hear a BBaby whine instead?

I see a discussion on "OMG it will increase BB HE spam" and I say : 1. Most of BBs are doing it anyhow and secondly... 2. WHO GIVES A F...K?????????? If a BB captain can't recognise the situation and the opportunity to switch to AP when needed - it is his loss! Stop pampering to lowest common denominator - AKA BBabies!

Come on - what are you on about??? No other counter to DD? Cuisers have problems with DD torps from 6-7 km? Do we even play the same game??? You have so much radar, spotter planes and hydro that a DD YOLO rushes can happen to a totally and utterly incompetent BB Kevin, who deserves to get sunk as he should rather stay in Coop or on lower tiers. Play some DDs and see how easy it is to sink a competent BB player.

Some good ideas, some bad - but unfortunately overly complicated for the WoWs player base = less potential profit = not going to happen.

Thank you - got it, good offer!!!
