We'll take it as a "Yes, but it's still under wraps and I like my job too much to leak it".

Me too. I think that it's a graphics add-on that is flagged by the failure of a anti-cheat system. The whole policy is really leading nowhere from where I stand. I don't cheat, I use only approved mods found in Aslain's modpack, and still I fear that I will be banned one day. And the worst part is, WG will not help me fix the issue, because their policy is set against me, the player.

To exclude people not reading the news.

The PEF marathon also had doubloon compensation if one bought that piece of ship. Otherwise I wouldn't have bothered opening my wallet. It looks like another event where my wallet stays closed. At least I may get a free Hermes out of it...

Isn't the "pan-asian dd torping other dd's" a staple meme now?

It's not only torpedo spotting. One of the Perth strats was to use the longer duration fighter to spot things out of smoke, instead of using the spotter. Doesn't work anymore. Not only has the fighter been nerfed with a massive duration decrease from 360s to 60s, but also it now circles directly over the ship in a small circle. So it's useless for spotting.

You can rank out, the question is whether you really want to get those rewards and if you are willing to take in all the toxicity. Because ranked is as toxic and not fun as it comes.

The problem with doubloon deals connected with a payment method is that it comes from the respective company (Amazon, Paypal, Visa etc.) Often such companies have regional promotions going on that can't be extended to other countries. But it's true that it's been a while since we saw a doubloon offer.

Throwaway people play throwaway games ending with throwaway results. WG doesn't care that it's not fun, they are too busy driving the game against the wall.

Well, then I'm sorry but you aren't looking close enough. What I see is a super unicum player taking a beating in an angled ship from a ship one tier lower, that has a larger HP pool than the VU. In fact all T4 silver BBs have a larger HP pool than VU. VU has worse speed than T4 BBs, worse AA, worse health, the only thing she has is better concealment. And she's a T5 ship.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is a classical strawman. Instead of addressing my argument @invicta2012decided to modify it in such a way that it fits his narrative. I'm not going to even bother continuing, as this is a Wichita thread. Speaking of her, just saw Flambass play two games in her and wasn't impressed. It's clear to me that the ship needs something more, as a Baltimore would perform better in the situations he was in.

Didn't they want 20€ for a pack of 100 of those a few months back?

It would be clearly OP otherwise. Flamu summed the ship nicely with "oof". How's the VU? Oof... Does it play well? Oof... Can it tank? Oof...

I can already the see the fallout of such a decision. Good thing you are not a WG employee that can decide it. When and if VU gets released, it will most likely released as a Pan-European ship. Just for lulz:

Imagine you have bought a city car, to get you to work and back, it's economical and you've put a pair of truck nutz on it for lulz. After a year you bring it in for inspection. You go to pick it up, but instead of your car the dealership gives you a SUV. The dealer says that's so great, it's an upgrade, free of charge, and is surprised that you want your car back and not the SUV. But you already have an SUV at home, your wife takes the kids to school in it, you don't need a second. Perplexed he offers you a voucher to cover the "value" of your car, which is less than what you paid for it, plus you can only spend it in the dealership. Since gaming and digital content is the wild west when it comes to customer rights, WoWS players don't really have a tool to fight back, other than not supporting the game with further purchases. Which is a horrible thing to do to a game you like. In normal companies such stunts would lead to consequences, including lawsuits. But law has not caught up with gaming yet.

After watching some streams with the changed ships I came to the following conclusions: 1. You haven't nerfed Exeter enough. That ship needs to be given at least a 20s reload, because it still is a very strong T5. Or you might listen to the CCs and uptier it to T6 where it can be properly balanced. 2. Viribus Unitis, just admit that you can't balance this ship and give up. because the following isn't even funny:

Nothing, the ship is in testing and will be changed to pan-European when released. AFAIK the same thing was done with Nueve de Julio, and only player reaction made the Boise appear as a stand alone USN ship.

I think WG missed the point of a premium ship with Wichita. It's not equal to Baltimore, which makes it a subpar trainer. It's not unique in playstyle, as it offers nothing special to the player. What it is, is New Orleans at T8 with worse overall stats than Baltimore. Even Indianapolis offers something extra in the form of radar at T7 with the same range as T8+ USN cruisers, while Wichita's radar is gimped with 9km range.

Wyoming has 12 guns at T4, the sigma is 1.5. I've kept it for lulz. Also VU has less HP than every silver T4 BB.

Saw Flamu in the changed VU, a Bretagne fired two salvos and wrecked him.

1. Description The target lock is being repeatedly lost while aiming at the enemy ship. 2. Reproduction steps Play the game, target a ship. 3. Result The target lock deactivates while firing, resulting in increased dispersion. Manual acquisition of the target lock is necessary. 4. Expected result The target lock should be maintained as long as the player is shooting at the target. 5. Technical details Not applicable. Bug appears to apply to all ships.

We need a fXP arsenal section...

Where are the bottom tier battles? Playing against T4 potatoes with a 19p captain is overkill in any ship. I want to see the ship against T6 & T7 enemies, where most of T5 ships are. Where a T6 cv just takes a dump on him, where taking two torps from a DD means death, where his shells just bounce off against armored enemies. It's easy to pick two top tier games and claim "it's OP!". Viable and useful in T7? Show it.

With the rate of fXP acquisition I'll be able to keep enough for Alaska and speed up several grinds. I already spent around 300k since Christmas...

Isn't this the overall plan for the game? Change it until it is boring to play? Thanks for the heads up.
