  1. I expect them to return during the Chinese New year celebrations in late January next year, together with the boxes and camos.
  2. Remember comrade, the Company knows better than you what you want and need. You are having fun, stop complaining. /S To me the Halloween event is already over, played the ops got my stars, won't bother again. And I won't spend a cent on pumpkins.
  3. Had a game tonight in the A-meh-fi. Did decent damage, almost 100k. Achieved nothing. Every ship I targeted just angled against me and/or hid behind island and i was helpless to do anything. Felt great. So the damage numbers are like the ones on the conqueror, they look nice but don't win battles.

    Guys, I just got the mission for Raimondo Montecuccoli

    The T5 and T6 have decent drop rates, the T7 and T8 don't.

    Armory "Upgrades"

    No, only the Dunkirk boxes have a chance for a Gallant.The air supply ones don't have the premium CV possibility listed anymore. Otherwise they are only good for completing the collection.
  6. Let's take a look at the Trento's concealment compared to other T6 BBs, including premiums: Trento - 14,5 km Mutsu - 16,9 km Fuso - 18,9 km New Mexico - 14,2 km Arizona - 14,4 km W. Virginia - 16,4 km Izmail - 15,2 km Bayern - 13,8 km Prinz Eitel Friedrich - 15 km Queen Elizabeth - 14,4 km Warspite - 14,2 km Normanide - 16,2 km Dunkerque - 16,9 km So 5 BBs outright outspot the Trento. This is worse than Pensacola and that thing is currently the worst silver T6 CA. Well not anymore that is. This is beyond idiotic. This is WG balans. PS: And some WG employees are wondering, why the players have a negative attitude towards the company.

    Halloween 2019

    Well, I've done most of them with my clan mates yesterday, so save for doing the super hard mode for Sunray and the new mode, I'm done. As a player with several 19p captains there is just no reason to touch Halloween. And it's not like the ops rewards are astounding.
  8. No, that's the T6 Trento. And yes, the perma camo form the event is a simple bluish grey coat of paint. Looks nice.
  9. For me it was bundle nr. 7. Happy that i don't have to spend any more points onto the lottery.
  10. No problems with switching, but the battle results screens either load very slowly or not at all.
  11. Ja, du ignorierst den Schaden der durch Brand entsteht. Durch diese Manipulation sieht die Berechnung super für die Zara aus. Nur, die Myoko kann alles anzünden was da vor die Kanonen kommt dank 17% Basischance, Zara eben nicht. Die Italiener haben nur Alfaschaden und nichts mehr, alle anderen außer Briten können da noch nachlegen. Umgekehrt, die BBs sind ein Horrorszenario für Italiener. Da muss nicht einmal ein Winkel da sein, es reicht aus dass das Schiff wenig Aufbauten hat und plötzlich kannst du nichts machen, nur weg rennen. Da spricht Theorie die von der Praxis widerlegt wird. Sorry, aber du redest von Schiffen die du nicht gespielt hast. Ein BB kann locker sich Anwinkeln und dann ist SAP nutzlos. Hab oft genug gesehen in den letzten 2 Tagen.
  12. It's the Khabarovsk syndrome, you have to put in work to get results, where other ships played just as well perform better. I had a killer Amalfi game yesterday, 3k BXP, High Caliber and Confederate. It felt like work. I tried to delete an Edinburgh, couldn't do it, he was angled and kept healing the pitiful damage I did inflict. Ended up doing 35K damage to him and he still survived. Shot at a broadside Fuso. No effect, just shatters and bounces with both AP and SAP. A tier 8 heavy cruiser could not damage a potato tier 6 battleship. Any other T8 CA would have massacred that guy, not the A-meh-fi. That's the problem with Italian cruisers, at least in my opinion after some games in them. You might perform well but it isn't fun. You can have a great game and then a ship immune to you rolls around and drinks your milkshake. Because the Italian CAs are too wimpy to offer a counter play.

    Why these flags?

    This is a common issue with mods. To resolve it, remove all mods from your installation directory, and then re-download the mods making sure they are compatible with the current version. If the issue continues, just start removing graphics mods, like ship models etc. to find the problem. PS: To make it fast just use a modpack like Aslain's or WG's own Modstation.
  14. I have played both Italian T5s, T6, and T8. I also have played every single RN CL. If given a choice I would always take the RN CL over the RM CA/CL. The British ships have so many utilities that allow them to work that they can easily cope with an angled target (single shot torps), their relative lack of armor (smoke & heal), and much more. In comparison the RM cruisers have a smoke that is often useless, because even if you smoke up after shooting, the smoke firing penalty is large enough to let a DD keep you spotted. Other than the smoke gimmick every other category of the ship is average or bad. The rudder is cr@p and gets damaged too easily, the torps are a joke, AA is barely average, the armor scheme makes it easy to get deleted when angled, and you have 0 tools against a DD. All of those weaknesses as compensation for an ammo type that can't hurt an angled ship, making you a helpless victim. Even the weak sauce premium Ducas are better, and they aren't stellar performers.

    Thank you WoWs (WG) staff...

    I think that undifferentiated praise has no place anywhere, as it fails to give the right people their due. Take the community team, they have a hard and thankless job of keeping the mob players calm. And with people like me around it isn't easy (I can talk spreadsheet too). Another underappreciated team, are the people responsible for the models. For an arcade game the models are just gorgeous. I wanted an Enterprise just to stare on her deck (honi soit qui mal y pense). But then you also have the people responsible for some really bad stuff. Look at the CV rework, in exactly three months it will be one year old. That went well, right? How often has the community communicated that something isn't right and been brushed off? How often was it necessary to keep yammering on just to fix things that should have been fixed before? Yorck AP anyone? Blyskawica had to wait 2-2,5 years for a simple balance buff to compensate for the stealth fire nerf. This is a great game. There is really nothing like it on the market. WG is not a single entity, it has some great people working for it, people I respect, even if I don't always agree with them. But it also has people who should be fired for cause in my opinion. And we should recognize that.

    SAP and saturated BBs

    Just had a DD charge my T5 Montecuccoli, could do no damage with SAP. Bounce, bounce, and then he torped me point blank. This is beyond stupid. He was not saturated.

    Pensacola - Bad by Design

    Thank you for the response. I'll keep my fingers crossed she will get some love soon, in the form of buffs.

    ST - changes to test ships

    Then why did you post the DPM of T8 ships in the previous post? You can't pick and choose when to accept DPM values as an argument and when not to. Nürnbergs potential HE and AP values are very good, and yet the ship isn't op. As to other values, a quick look at the stats shows a picture that isn't really inviting to buy: It has the best HP value among T8 CLs, by 1800 to Kutuzov and 5500 to Chapayev, which is a big plus. But that's it. It has the worst concealment among all T8 cruisers. It has a BBs concealment, in fact Monarch outspots it. The speed is the worst and the rudder shift is second worst at tier. So the ship is not going to be nimbly dodging salvos, because it has no ability to do so. At least the turning circle is ok. No, she should be average and not the worst at tier. Why would anyone buy a bad ship? Agreed, but she isn't balanced. put her right now into the game and there will be no reason to play her. She offers nothing beyond the improved HE pen compared to other T8 CLs.

    Miss Perth - How to play.

    The difference between my De Grasse and Budyonny in speed is 1,5kn. And De Grasse has speed boost.

    Genova and boxes

    It is garbage but not because of the reload. The overall capabilities of the ship has been balanced around the potential of the SAP shell. Sadly, SAP is pure trash and doesn't deliver. So you have an overnerfed boat that is a detriment to the team, because WG devs don't play their game.

    WG strikes again! @MrConway@Crysantoshow is it that WG is regularly committing criminal offenses according to German law by making false offers for paid content? Any comment?

    ST - changes to test ships

    Let me counter it by showing the potential DPM of Nürnberg as comparison: Nürnberg has a 126.000 advantage in AP DPM over the next cruiser, at T6 against much weaker armored targets. And in HE it is better than the Russian, French, American CL, and Japanese, cruisers. Still not the best guns at T6 as they have low fire chance and alpha. Let's not forget that the AP potential with CL guns is rarely realistic, as most ships don't go broadside to you at under 10 km, so you'll be slinging HE. And Mainz just doesn't have it and it's going to be a cash ship not a silver struggle boat.
  23. Met @fumtuin COOP, he was eerily silent. Chat banned?

    Graf Zeppelin Black won't be a flop in sales

    Just wait until WG dunks all over the GrafZ B owners when the next collab comes along and the regular GZ gets an AL camo.
