No idea, I screwed up a while back and launched from Kutuzov when a DD went close past me, they didn't hit him, either I got lucky or you got very unlucky or buggy.

Too late, I was first with the required text!

Oh look, another "skill based MM" request thread, not seen one of those in about a week. Novelty!

What they all said. Bye. (Obligatory) Can I haz your stuff?

Thanks, I wasn't sure, but I knew it was less than 12v12, I've never seen more than 3 BB's a side and sometimes less. On occasions I've played Randoms at very stupid o'clock (like the 04:30 it is now) and had smaller teams on standard maps, to be honest I don't think the maps need to be adjusted as the tactics change to accommodate, apart from the incurable campers who find they get horribly outflanked and clobbered.

I agree the 12v12 format is tedious especially with 5 BB a side that leads to incessant camping. Of course what the OP is asking for is larger Division options in CoOp, but that doesn't effect your point. The Space Battle format which I think is 7v7 (can someone confirm? I've not got the client running here) is a far better fight in most cases as there are less BB's, coincidentally this is similar in some ways to Clan Battles. There's abundant evidence that less BB's leads to better games, it would be really nice if they could recognise that and hard cap BB numbers in the main Randoms.

When you get to upper tiers you view will change dramatically. I've seen you play, your name stood out to me for a reason even before you started posting a lot, believe me in high tiers you will be begging for more islands to hide behind as you will get deleted very frequently. As to the idea in the thread, I'd love to see it, but as pointed out there's a problem with balance and the servers coping, both of which would be show stoppers.

That is pretty bizarre, surely polling opinion from the experienced players would make sense and ignoring it really doesn't.

Spend a few minutes looking on the forum for the OP's endless billion word dribblings and you will realise an echo chamber is exactly what he wants. Endless essays of "improvements" to a game he claims not to play (which is a lie, I've seen him myself in a random, he was useless and contributed heavily to a loss) and yet he's unable to stop posting because he's obsessed with the sound of his own text. Most forums have a poster like him, but he's a fairly extreme example.

I agree, just the way you wrote it, well it looks a bit more like poking fun than suggesting a correction. I am a native English speaker and over many games and many years of working in Europe I can tell pretty fast if people simply don't know exactly the right word in English which is a rather silly language with irregular words all over the place and someone who're simply too damn lazy to use the right word, there for their and they're as a classic example.

He's not a native English speaker, it's an easy mistake to make.

I believe that clans can field more than 1 team if they chose to, they just won't face their clanmates in battles. Since the Clan Battles teams aren't fixed (HAERT regularly fields any of about 12 players and we swap in and out during the sessions, we aren't ultra competitive) there's no sensible way to have teams in 2 or more divisions.

Of course there isn't, but as anyone who reads this forum is very aware the OP can't stop himself writing endless dull drivel while claiming he's quit the game. The fact I had him in the same team a couple of weeks ago being utterly useless in his Yamato while moaning constantly in the team chat that the game was rubbish means he's less than honest. Yes the "poll" is a complete farce.

They don't work at all in the main game, they're either excessively dominant or hopelessly useless. Tinkering on the edges doesn't make them less unbalanced. CV's should have their own game mode where they can fight each other with multiple CV's each side and a controllable set of AA bot ships. A true RTS game mode.

While the Duke is pretty good, Orion is really, really strong in Tier 4, you've essentially gone from a ship many feel is OP to one that people treat as reasonably OK, but nothing special.

I have, in fact it happened to me most recently where I was chasing down an enemy Kurfurst in my Richelieu, he was running at full speed from me and I was closing at a relative speed of only a few knots (speedboost on cooldown) when I eventually caught him it caused very little initial damage to either of us and he died of flooding as he was on very low HP because I'd been shooting all the way in the chase. You can test it in the training room with a friend.

@BIGGUN_DK Fair point, not something I would use, but I can see where it would be fun. The mechanics for larger divisions exist for Operations and Clan Battles, in theory it should only need to be enabled for the COOP mode which I doubt would be terribly challenging. @MrConway, is it possible to look into this? Nice to have options.

I assumed it was just me with that approach on DD's, managing that 20s gun bloom with long range guns that don't actually do that much at long range doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

Just so you know when that rental Gearing is removed it would have demounted the upgrades for free, this isn't a secret, they put that information in the news articles about Clan Battles. You didn't notice the time icon on it that shows how long it will remain in your port and you've not noticed that the rentals are Clan Battle specific? Did you honestly think that WG would just hand out free, gratis and for nothing, T10 ships for permanent use in normal game modes to anyone that plays a single T8 game? It's not a money grab, at best you're ill informed, the reality is you've behaved very unwisely and are now complaining about your own naivety.

Correct, having recently completed the collection (thanks to WG adding these missions over weeks) it does NOT reward the ship, but the 2 permanent camoflages so those people moaning about newbies being given a free T8 BB are completely wrong. I'm pretty happy that I've got a couple of perma camo's for a ship I play every now and then as I wasn't playing when the original mission and campaign was running. I'm unable to understand why people are complaining about these containers, not like they lose anything because they're in the game periodically.

The port slot and 7.75m credits were very nice. The missions can be done in COOP as well as Randoms so it wasn't tricky to complete them.

Not sure I follow your reasoning there, taking the Clan I'm in which has the description in English, off the top of my head we have members from:- United Kingdom (including Scotland, but they can't help that) Netherlands France Finland Belgium Germany USA Saudi Arabia Malaysia Denmark Ireland Switzerland I'm sure I've missed a few countries. So Mr Holmes what conclusion do you reach reading the description and targeting some national insults?

As mentioned before in the thread if we have to have the launcher make it useful with training, tips and useful links, at the moment it's just advertising bloatware and serves no useful purpose.

I voted yes to both. Not sure if I have the 1k games, but must be close and I have most of the T10 torpedo DD's. I think the Asashio is a lousy concept and it certainly won't punish the camping BB's or encourage them to be less inclined to border hug. Fortunately unlike the AP bomb concept that was supposed to be anti BB, but the reality is they're anti cruiser weapons and DWT equipped Pan Asian DD's that torp cruisers at least the Asashio is BB only, but it's still a dumb idea. While I like DD's and have a fair few of the Premium ones, the Asashio isn't something I'll buy in the current format.

Excellent, thanks for posting the information.
