We do that too, we run historic fleet engagements every week, and we regularly go into the training room to errrrmm how can I put this, settle our differences on which ships people believe to be better than others, lol.

Not true. 19:30 UK time last night, 5 of us in our clan a div of 2 and a div of 3, simply do the 3 2 1 'click' routine to enter battle, of the three battles entered, twice we were on opposite teams and only once were we together, that was very unusual, the norm is you end up in different battles completely. And we don't do it to stat pad we do it because its 'fun' to face your clan mates sometimes, and all being on the same team doesn't guarantee success, the rest of the team can still be potatoes and you loose. Where you end up in a battle seems to be determined by the MM trying to balance up divs across teams. More worrying for me than two same clan divs in a battle, is seeing one team with a div of 3 and the enemy team with 2 divs of 3 and a div of 2, while 3 of you might be working together the enemy has 8 people coordinating their actions all be it in three squads, but the impact of that can be huge if they know what they are doing.

Same, and it's happening more and more frequently. There isn't a day goes by recently when I don't get a 502 Bad Gateway error at least once when trying to load a forum page, while everything else on the internet loads fine

PR will never work people will farm to have good stats just as some do now, However MM taking number of battles fought into account might help, as you would hope more battles equals more experience and an understanding of how to actually play the game. Reality and the stats shown above clearly show that there are exceptions to every solution suggested.

In real life yes one shotting a target could and did happen. The problem is this is a game not a simulation, so the game has to offer fair mechanics across all classes. But I agree a well played DD is an absolute bugger to hit at range, most of my hits on DD's at range are either down to luck / dispersion, or the fact that the DD is moving in a very predictable way which means you know which way he is going to wiggle.

Since last patch particularly, I've had more glitches than usual, port UI freezes etc, but also had alot of lag in game at times after installing the official modpak and smart panels didn't work. I ended up running the integrity check, which to put it mildly failed after it disappeared up its own butt hole and took the client with it. I ended up doing a full re install and switching to Aslains modpak. Everything seems ok now. Seems I'm not the only one in my clan to have issues, lots of us have had lots of glitches and issues since 6.12 has been released.

I suspect the same server cluster is used world wide to support CW across all regions, each region plays at a different time in any 24hr cycle. Changing EU times will impact the rest of the world, so it probably wont happen.

Ok my contribution would be to add the contents of this post I made some where where every new player can read it.

So in game clan functionality isn't working at the moment, and the direct clan portal link http://eu.wargaming.net/clans/gateway/wows/search says clans are not available at the moment. Has anybody had any official response from WG on this and when clan functions might be restored? I have recruiting to get on with and can't. Thanks in advance.

Agree 100%, but based on what I've seen Wg do in the 6 mths I've been playing this game, nothing would surprise me.

You do see the dark side of this tho I hope. If somebody at low tier or even T1 first day in game, just moved over some WoT say because they have heard CW is coming to WoWS is given say a T8 prem to try, they will have satisfied the play 1 battle at T8 to qualify for CW loan ships. Or Somebody like me who hasn't touched CV's being offered a Kaga, Saipan, or Enterprise to play with and screw 11 other players game.

Anything historically correct and this Dazzle Camo we dont have yet

It's smart minimap and it is in the official mod pak - the pack I use, I use that mod myself, as I believe do some of the major CC's. And to be honest I dont find the X on the minimap helpful at all.

@MrConwayNot sure if this has been asked already, apologies if it has. What happens if somebody reaches T8 during the clan wars event i.e. whilst clan wars is running. Will they be given the 'loan' ships immediately, when they are changed for the next three, or not at all and the player has to wait til the next clan wars season starts?

They posted they already know and will fix, swapping everybody with the correct module within two weeks

I've sent you a PM.

Welcome to our newest member @Hawg

Met @Aotearas with a couple of his clan mates. Didn't end well, like so many games recently the team just seemed to melt. But it was nice to see the scrub boats with their drivers riding bareback naked on their little blue pony

1 - 5000 FXP 2 - 1D prem 3 - 250 gold 4 - 5000 FXP 5 - 1D prem 6 - 5000 FXP 7 - 5000 FXP 8 - 5000 FXP 9 - 5000 FXP

Think of clans as a social group with shared interests, whom you can div up with and generally talk shite. Oil gives everyone in clan - if you have got to the necessary level and the clan has built the structure- some bonus's on game economy costs. Clan wars is replacing Ranked battles for the moment and when it starts will allow clans to battle each other in 7v7 matches, based on a four league system.

I've sent you a PM.

@Kandly You know there is another way WG could handle this that might work for everyone. Instead of banning CV's from clan wars Season 1, why not allow them in the top two leagues, but drop them from the lower two? The 'better' clans with good CV players could have something to play for as could the whole clan community. I know that would probably mean a bit of coding rework on your side, but it would allow the top clans with good CV players the opportunity to play and show the entire community how to get the best from this game with the current meta and mechanics. And if reworking it meant you had to delay clan wars for a few weeks while you made the changes you would know that the community would be here waiting happy in the knowledge that all classes could play at some point.

I've sent you a private forum message

The issue isn't the CV. The issue is balancing the people that drive them. So during clan wars testing, clans with no good CV drivers, complained and WG said OK we know CV's are a problem, we will just exclude them from clan wars.

Don't know if you've seen but WG released a promo code today for a flag and a container W8O45W. Thats a letter O not the number.
