  1. You forgot to add subs to that
  2. Thing is wiki would say RU BB's are NOT stronk ships, and glorious Soviet navy is not best in world. They wouldn't be able to handle the truth
  3. Just add a link to wikipedia for each ship. Everything we need is there, plus the ships history.
  4. I fear you are right, however, Just look at the arc's and all those associated loot boxes that have accompanied silver line releases of late. All that effort for no profit. I doubt it very much

    Matchmaker Discussion Thread & MM Balance

    It ended up a double CV 5 DD per side match.

    General Feedback - 0.8.8

    So the MM was telling me this last night. Bug or a new MM feature I don't know about ?

    Can anyone explain this too me that I had last night
  8. The Ukrainian alphabet is the set of letters used to write Ukrainian, the official language of Ukraine. It is one of the national variations of the Cyrillic script. Some letter and vowel sounds are different apparently. However because Lester are Belorussian I believe. I'm now wondering if in fact it's the Belorussian version. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belarusian_alphabet. There is loads of other stuff that could be in that port too ... The paint cans and signal book seem to refer to the naval signal 'Delta' The wind speed instrument (top left of the Dasha picture frame on the cork board) and the ref to 3600s/t found elsewhere could be a reference to wave amplitude calculations where the size and frequency of waves is determined by the strength and duration of the wind. The apparent Battleships game grids appear to show 1 BB (4 blocks) 2 cruisers (3 blocks) 3 DD (2 blocks), and 4 1 block entities - Subs? The issue I have with that is that in the board game version of You sank my Battleship that I had as a kid, the sub was a 3 block ship and nothing was 1 block. However this could be a reference to some new game mode or even god forbid some sort of clan battle format. The game format idea holds some more weight given a couple of pictures appear to refer to the Hotspot and Trident maps.
  9. Lots of references to JIngles in there and it's not Cyrillic letters it looks like Ukrainian

    Ark Royal opinion (early)

    ^THIS^ Can't help but think that if this was an iconic ship of another nation, it would have got better treatment from the developers.

    Welcome @Westie77to our ranks. @jack_clegg I have sent you a PM.
  13. Likes... The models The friends I have made playing this game The amount of stuff WG actually give away for free Dislikes... The shambolic CV / AA rework and the way the live environment has been used to test them The relentless trend of loot boxes and heavy grinds. The very real and confirmed, by Sub_Oct himself in his last reddit Q&A, Russian Bias. The shitstorm that surrounded the NTC and the way in which senior WG staff from the dev studio on the official live stream showed nothing short of contempt and disdain for us their paying customers and the concerns we had over the idea
  14. Keep playing other lines and nations for a while. I struggled with Kongo at first, but that was my lack of experience. I put her down and came back later when I had more battle experience and now I see why she is called the mighty Kongo. Yes she has been powercrept a bit, but she is still a good ship. And fuso I could just make work for me and felt very comfortable. I'm on Nagato now, I need to pick her up again after not playing her for a while.

    4th WoWs anniversary discussion!

    And that is the one T6 I really want. It was the rare drop in a Twitch container not so long ago, so maybe something like that is planned in future

    Oh to have 1st world problems like that

    Experimenting with MM and lose streaks

    There is one huge and glaring problem with 'testing the MM'. The test conditions for a match setup will never be the same in each test iteration. The match you end up in is entirely dependent on how many players are in the MM queue with you and when they pressed the battle button to join the queue. The MM then applies it's coded logic - the MM rules - to build the match. Without us actually having access to the MM code, there is no way, we can speculate on anything. There are simply too many variables in each test iteration.

    Trying to get better at DD's

    in the same boat as you mate. Trying to learn DD's. Best advice I was given. Where ever you decide to go always have an escape plan, if you are spotted. And i have never taken out any DD at any tier unless I can mount at least a 10pt captain so I can have the CE skill. Concealment = survival in a DD.

    What to do with credits (silver)?

    But if you have so many credits you should have FXP as well. Especially if you are mounting all those flags you have bought. Or you should have elite XP to convert

    What to do with credits (silver)?

    Not trying to be funny at all, and I'm nowhere near the end game. But the whole point of the NTC is somewhere for people with loads of credits and FXP to spend them. I myself have 8.3M credits atm and I'm saving for the T9 CA.

    Hi Westie 77, I'll PM you shortly

    CVs should be the ones in charge of Air Defense

    Remember WG removed the odd tier CV's as part of the rework? I think they might come back with fighters in a fleet escort type role.

    Update 0.8.8: 16/08??

    They are sending it out early to reduce the network load, and avoid a bottleneck on the actual patch day. If we all tried to download 2+ Gb on patch day I think the hamsters would demand more pay.

    Update 0.8.8: 16/08??

    You know what really worries me about this. Remember some of the previous 'big' updates we have had and how badly they were implemented. I recall servers being up and down more often than a *edit*
