I bought it just because I'm lazy and I like the permacamo scheme on the boat. Now with 0.7.2 there's another reason to get it, if you finished the Yamamoto collection:

Two steps forward, five steps back. #WG2018 How is it that no one at the top of the WG food chain has reacted to the constant blunders of Lesta?

1. I think it's a poorly designed contest which is being done too late and in an unprofessional manner. The contest should have been part of hype building before the release of the patches. It should have been a large event with a structured format, where three patches are not chosen just by popular vote but by categories, in order to increase diversity. The fact that this content runs on all 4 servers adds to the confusion. We don't know if the patches from the other servers will be added to other regions and we sure as hell will see some cross posting of ideas. A global contest would have been better. 2. I think that the fact that EU is having a closed posting and that the entries will be filtered by a staff vote, is a sign that WGEU is still keeping the patronizing attitude they displayed towards the players before. That's arrogant and insulting. We are a community and not little children that should be taken care of. The WGEU staff should have been excluded from the contest, save for maybe a "staff pick" category. But instead we have a secret submission process and a staff vote, as if we weren't a community but subjects to the will of the WGEU. 3. I think that any additional amount of personalisation which doesn't influence gameplay is good. In a game where player appearance is limited by non-adaptive camouflage the addition of a patch/insignia creates a greater connection to the game. The one thing that I dislike are the high tier insignias, they are less a form of personalisation and more a form of bragging. I also dislike the very limited amount of choice given to us by WG, with only 5 background colors (where's white btw?).

Which made them valuable items for those wishing to upgrade their ships. In fact I would say that they are too scarce now... The only exception I think is the flag container. Getting 2-3 of them daily makes signal troubles go away.

I always like when an SC drops. I never know what's inside. My recent SCs included 50x Gamescom camos, 100 India Yankee, and a Krispy Kreme just as I was thinking about buying one. I'm hoping that I will get some upgardes from them, as I really need a smoke mod and a hydro mod for my Perth and Lo Yang respectively.

Please add the special upgrades to the shop and the client. Having them only as a SC drop and occasional event bundle makes them too rare.

Out of the three I would say better gun angles. The torps are really strong and shouldn't have a better range, because then the Aigle becomes a killer ship with almost 19K torps at T6. Improving smoke would only make sense if the French DD line had good smokes as a line trait. The ship is very similar to the Atlanta, the threat it poses goes way up with every additional skill your Captain has. I have used my 25x XP bonus missions to turn a spare 10p Captain into a 15p dedicated Aigle one, now the ship wrecks face. My 15p picks are: Standard DD package with PT, LS, SE, CE, which covers all the basics and gives me a DD with almost the same amount of HP as a T5 cruiser. 12p is EM so that the turrets can stay on target. 15p is SI because both speed boost and smoke are of great help to this ship. My 18p pick will be DE for a juicy 12% fire chance. Last point goes into PM to increase the survivability. I wouldn't pick IFHE, as the high fire chance and great AP make the skill less useful in my opinion.

Was hoping for a Smoke mod, or at least the Atago. But it's still better than flags.

The problem isn't having translators or mods, it's the financing allocation and how corporate structures work. Having a Turkish/Spanish/poodle section means not just two unpaid guys keeping a small sub forum going, it means having a whole entry in the corp structure. They have decided that having those sections and supporting the language is not justifying the expenses they have. So they are closing them. This completely ignores the secondary results of such action, like loss of customers and the associated loss of revenue. There's also company image, which takes a hit as they show that they don't care for their customers. WG has often shown that they are prone to making large mistakes and it takes them very long to react in order to salvage what they can.

It's not borderline, it's flag waving at the centre of the OP parade. You can't kite against 16 barrels of death.

The application of the Yamamoto campaign color swap to premium/permanent camouflage is great addition. It really makes the the ships look great. I really hope similar options will be provided to other nations via future permanent campaigns.

Expansion WG style. Now with more grand closings.

Pure genius. WG at its finest. "We don't earn enough, so let us earn even less by driving customers away". That company needs to start firing people for lack of common sense.

Excuse me? They are closing the Spanish section? But the Turkish and Italian ones stay?

It's insane how bad the game lags and jumps after the patch.

Nice, but there's no consequence to this. We are still getting shafted with the same prize pools as the smaller servers and an inflexible MM. Most likely WG will still say they can't do anything with the MM if we pass the 60k mark...

This ship was made to cheese people. I took the AA range module and combined it with AFT/BFT. I feel dirty.

The limitation to only cruisers of 3 nations plus French BBs is really questionable, as it locks out players who don't have qualifying ships. The rewards (3x French Box, 300 Doubloons) are inferior to rewards of previous operations, especially since this appears operation to be a one time event like Dynamo. But what really bugs me is the fact that the NPC ship pathing is bugged and prevents me from finishing the operation, especially since that bug was reported in the PT. This shows either wilful ignorance or bottomless incompetence that time and time again is shown by WG/Lesta. What's the point of this operation if you can't finish it due to a bug?

True, a WG EU shaft based on nothing more but the fact that we are the biggest server (and most profitable).

Yes it is, here's how it went: I moved from C cap on Neighbors towards B. The enemy Kongo division took me in a pincer movement, one coming from the south and the other between the islands near B cap. My secondaries lit up the one in the south and he repaired it. I concentrated my fire on the guy in the north but also dropped torps south in a wide spread, he took one on the nose. I then killed the northern Kongo and moved between the islands to cap B. The southern Kongo flooded happily and then made the mistake of trying to attack me. Thus, a Liquidator in a Scharnhorst.

I used signals I would have used either way, so no loss there. But I think that having only 50 ships as prizes was quite lowly.

What's the difference between a loss and a defeat? When you lose, you can always say that you did your best, when you're defeated you can't even say that, because you gave up first. It looked like a loss, I had a 1/4 health BB and they were outnumbering us. Didn't give up, slaughtered my way through them.

If they wanted to warm up the players then this weekend's offer would be the Roma. But it will be the Gascogne instead.

You can't buy the Roma in the shop. So it's not even advertising.

This will, in the long term, kill the game for many players. Why play a game where no matter how high my contribution, I will lose? Why spend money on such game? WG says the MM works and is fair, but they have a history of lying, so no one believes them. In the end the only victims are the players that get bored with constantly losing and leave the game.
