Which forum members have you seen in random battles?
Aragathor replied to Cobra6's topic in General Discussion
Yeah, if it wasn't for that Donskoi I would have won. Was a good game though. -
I know I'm quite a visible critic of WoWS, especially the team. But when it came to shop issues, the support I received was always on point. In the EU you don't play loose with cash transfers.
-
There's a topic for that: Good luck. Also check if the payment didn't go through a service like Klarna. They are horrible and often screw people over as there is little oversight.

And leave my clan without a player that can actively contribute to moving up? Sure, let me be selfish. And "you don't need to play" is an easy argument when you forget that more and more ships are locked behind a steel requirement, that can only be overcome by either grinding ranked or playing CBs. No, because it's unbalanced and WG refuses to change it so it is truly competitive. When I select a competitive mode I expect fair play, and not 60%+ WR Typhoon clan beating up mid Storm clans. I want to play against people on my level until I and the team I'm playing with reaches the extent of our skill, and not get our faces smashed in because the gentlemen on the way to hurricane decided to have an easy win.
-
I'm tired. I'm tired of playing against unbalanced setups because devs can't don't want to balance the game. I'm tired of being fed game after game to Typhoon clans who club bravo team for easy wins. I hope this mode dies. It was idiotic enough at T10, at T8 it feels like hitting yourself in the balls repeatedly for nothing.

What will you do with your "French Tokens" temporary currency?
Aragathor replied to Leo_Apollo11's topic in General Discussion
I'm going for the captain. Don't what else I will be able to buy. -
"LittleWhiteMouse" views on Russian BB line (from Russian Tier VIII BB "Lenin" review) compared to some old(er) BB lines - namely German...
Aragathor replied to Leo_Apollo11's topic in General Discussion
Here's the official stance of WG towards German BBs, as stated by Sub_O: They over tuned the Russian BBs, but that's fine, paper BBs with a weakness that isn't and too many strengths are ok if they are Russian. Changing a German line that is power crept to hell? SpReAdShEeT sAyS ThEyRe FiNe. -
What mod will give me historical camos for the ships T5 and lower without changing my ships T6 and up? PS: I'm already running the Type 5 camo on all of my silvers.

Super Container Loot Thread [ topics merged ]
Aragathor replied to ThePurpleSmurf's topic in General Discussion
Nice. Not going to argue against a free month to add to my remaining premium time. -
I spoke to @MrConwayabout it and he answered there are no plans for t5 and lower perma camos as they would unbalance the game. While I do not agree with this stance, as having a +50% XP camo does not in any way influence the game, I have no hopes of T5 ever getting historical perma camos.

PSA Regarding AA Guns Modification 1 on DDs
Aragathor replied to Benser33's topic in General Discussion
At this point AFT is only good for secondaries and gunboat DDs trying to get more main battery range. For AA it's cr@p. A note on the AA Mod 1 and American DD's: -Faragut - Useless on all hulls, raises the amount of bursts to 3. -Mahan - Same as Farragut. -Benson - Meh. Gives 5 bursts. C hull is just a joke now. -Fletcher - 6 puffs at long range. -Gearing - Meh. 5 puffs long range. -Sims - 4 Puffs. Meh. -Monaghan - 5 puffs. B hull is interesting as AA platform. -Black - Worse Fletcher. My verdict don't use the mod even on DDs with DefAA. -
What you forgot to mention is that Khaba is the third least played T10 DD with 280 unique players in 2 months, that's less than 10% of the players that play Shima (3054). Second and third place are Gearing with 1119 and Harugumo with 745. Even Z-52 has more than twice as many players with 554, and that's already a ship with few strengths. This is an example how a biased opinion based on a spreadsheet is worthless as it distorts facts to fit a narrative. To everyone else, here's a very nice write up about the Khaba now: https://old.reddit.com/r/WorldOfWarships/comments/cv9l1v/khabarovsk_come_on_guys/

Change the name of the upcoming German premium battleship Odin?
Aragathor replied to Rosletyne's topic in General Discussion
Not Odin, Odyniec, which while being quite homophonous has no connection. It just means "single boar". -
Please set a maximum of 2 destroyers limit in ranked matches.
Aragathor replied to VeidraVontae's topic in General Discussion
"Spreadsheet says you're having fun." -
Got the Gremlin from a campaign SC.
-
I have 22 T10 ships and I can only agree with this sentiment. Getting some 50 packs of +100% XP /captain XP camo would be great for regrinding. I could use some 100 packs of flags. Hell, some coal would be great for Smolensk. People sneer at the most common drops, but they can be useful. PS: I still hope for an SC with the Nikolai I inside...

Change the name of the upcoming German premium battleship Odin?
Aragathor replied to Rosletyne's topic in General Discussion
First, the name Wotan was already used as the term for Special Treatment Steel used in ship construction (Wotan weich and Wotan hart). Second, Kriegsmarine was following the Imperial German navy traditions for naming, so the proper name would be Odin as there was an SMS Odin. -
AA mod 2 (slot 3) in 0.8.7. Worthwhile?
Aragathor replied to TeaAndTorps's topic in General Discussion
I got you. Texas has only a short range and mid range aura. Post 0.8.7 Texas also has no flak clouds. -
I really like that the sector fire is gone. The new mechanic is much better in design. However it's pitifully weak. And that's my problem with the changes. The AA nerf is too big. The flak burst nerf made AA Guns Mod 1 completely useless, as now most ships only shoot flak bursts at long range. Many ships that were limited to 3.5km medium AA have been brutalized by this change. Also AFT is now completely useless as an AA skill, as the high price does not justify the return (also destroyers that take AFT for the gun range now don't benefit form the AA effect due to the 3.5km AA). The replacement of Manual AA with Massive AA makes me scratch my head. Why would I even take a 4 point skill like that? The fact that there's a large drawback on one of the most expensive skills in the game makes it inferior to others. The buffs to lower tier CVs look nice, but I fear that with the overall nerfs to AA the ships will become too strong. All in all I'm not a fan of the changes. PS: The lack of changes to the T10 CVs shows how little you care for balance.

How did you do with the "French Whaling"?
Aragathor replied to Leo_Apollo11's topic in General Discussion
Didn't do too bad, 1135 tokens and 21400 coal. Didn't bother to rebuy anything save Maas. -
Discussion thread for "some interesting info around the world"
Aragathor replied to Deamon93's topic in General Discussion
Sadly the other names of ships of that class are, how to say it, unfortunate: -Lützow -Hindenburg Sadly, we haven't been very creative with names of ships... But BTW I'd love to see battlecruisers, both British and German, from SMS Von der Tann and HMS Invincible in the game. -
Discussion thread for "some interesting info around the world"
Aragathor replied to Deamon93's topic in General Discussion
Just wait for the IFHE nerf. Most premium midtier cruisers will be dead from this change. -
What ship did you instantly fell in love with and why? (Include your build)
Aragathor replied to Mad_Dog_Dante's topic in General Discussion
Roma. People ignore it, but if played right the ship can tank Yamato shells and keep coming. It's also stealthy, so it can ambush every other BB in it's tier and up. Plus, it's a beautiful ship. As for the captain, I'm running a standard tank build - PT, AR, SI, CE, FP, BoS. -
What Were Your Greatest Gaming Achievements Today ?
Aragathor replied to Hanszeehock's topic in General Discussion
Almost got the 2750 bXP game in my Eugen... It was still a good game. -
Will WG follow MS & Sony demand on Premium loot boxes transparency?
Aragathor replied to GunnyL's topic in General Discussion
No. What WG will do is stall and delay as long as possible. As they are registered in cyprus and pretty big there, they might even look into paying for a law that protects them from disclosing any numbers. WG will only become more transparent in its dealings when seriously threatened by law.
