Wasn't there already a main radar thread?

The mod I used was some sort of clan logo mod or at least this is how I did it (adding a logo to an individual instead of a clanmember). The mod that I modified seemed to contain some easter egg or something? It made a couple players (probably admins or something from that mod?) have their own logo as well. I modified this file and added logo files for each individual I wanted to add. I can't remember if I had to also make changes to a text file or not. I didn't use an XVM method, also because I didn't know how to modify that code to make it do what I want.

It won't guarantee it being more accurate though, shell travel time is also important in this regard, as well as the base conceilment of the ship (lower conceilment means being able to get closer to your intended target while being undetected). Lowering Alaskas citadel even further would mean that the citadel would sink through the bottom of the ship, you never gonna hit that! Though with Stalingrad it was more like: Phase 1: It's AP shells are too powerful, lets try a nerfed version with HE Phase 2: Well it's still not up to par, lets swap some things around Phase 3: Lets swap some more things around, maybe we can gently tweak it so it is balanced. Right before release and after final feedback has been received: Lets buff everything!

I remember this. Dunno how it was solved (or if it was even a real problem) but it was painstakingly tested by someone and iirc it wasn't a problem anymore at some point. Though, it might have actually been a bug with the autoaim not improving dispersion? I didn't really follow that but to me, dispersion of Missouri was never really that much greater then Musashi dispersion. I do much more damage in Musashi anyway.

I had considered adding a logo (similar to how a clan can have an added logo by modding) and I once figured out how to add logos to individual players in WoT! But I forgot how I did it and apparently that old WoT install is gone Sorry for being off topic

Because it isn't, especially due to its armor and lesser gun caliber. Flamu and Notser didn't seem too much impressed of what I could tell from watching their streams yesterday (Notser really wanted to like Alaska, but Flamu clearly didn't). I'm also waiting till the Frenchies are also out, so far Alaska isn't looking too good. EDIT: Alaska seems to get overmatched quite easily and it's basically a big squishy target that's not easy to manoeuver and got slow shells along with Kronstadt-like conceilment. The value of its AA is also not a guarantee for its usefulness, due to CV rework coming soon.

I hope so as well To me they'd already help with better conceilment (so it's not the same conceilment as Kronstadt while Kronstadt keept its railguns) and/or improve the gun characteristics. For some reason doing the former seems more USN-ish.

I haven't come across one yet, but I'm mostly playing ops and ranked right now. I think it's kinda too bad that all these new ships might get burried a bit with the CV gameplay news?

Flamu and Notser are streaming as I type this. Flamu called it "questionable" and Notser also seems somewhat disappointed (Notser really WANTS to like Alaska it seems, but both of them just don't like the guns). It's armor also is pretty poor, along with its conceilment being on par with Russian freemium cruiser (which is odd?). I don't see how Alaska stacks up to Kronstadt, other then on looks and maybe AA. Alaska really needs a buff here. It seems mediocre.

And worse torp belt. The Kronstadt also has faster shells, but roughly same maximum range as Alaska. Both ships also have same conceilment, which means Kronstadt has a better gun performance compared to the size of their optimal engagement distance. Frankly, Kronstadt looks better so far, I'm kinda disappointed.

It's not really looking good though, from what I've seen of it so far

I'm up to Lexington and Hiryu Fun fact: There was a major arty rework in WoT years ago, and it also coincided with the addition of UK arty line

I only play tier 6+ CVs in operations and coop, as I'd only cause my team to loose most of the battles due to CVs being so much OP the way they are currently implemented.

The refund is also for techtree carriers

They really need to balance things though (it's really OP in the vid), but I understand that what they showed was merely the concept of gameplay.

I'd love to test out these new CVs!

Kids are so ungrateful these days...

I wonder how catapult fighters will be affected by this? As it is now, it seems vastly OP though, easy permafires/floodings. I'll miss the RTS gameplay though, but I know the frustration of encountering an enemy CV that is vastly superior to your own CV (or enemy has one of those OP premium CVs and the game is basically decided before the battle timer runs out and the game actually starts).

He did? I must've missed that

But I also got that mail, so that cannot be true? I'm confused I'd love to be a supertester though

I'd very much like a mode with more players each team. Perhaps even where one has several respawns. Now that I mention it, it's similar to that mode that WoT had a while ago? I don't really care about the areas that mode had, I just want to try out several (probably pre-selected) ships in a large battle on a large map. And perhaps even the option to try out stuff in the training room with more players

I'm sorry, but your poll is kinda dumb and onesided Where's the middle ground here? I like playing CV in coop and in ops. I usually don't like playing in random CV games or in ranked. Most CV players play their very own game anyway, what's there to like for me? But in scenarios I really feel like I'm more part of the team, we all have the same goals there. Deleting CVs from this game would be a bad idea, as carriers were an integral part of history (though this would also mean not having subs is kinda bad). I'd prefer carriers to stay within the game, but whenever my mediocre CV player and the rest of my team gets completely obliterated by a skilled leetpro+++ CV-only unicorn, I'm glad the carrier rework is coming soon

I totally agree with your stance here. My issue is mostly that I either need to commit hours a day or I might miss out (like the aniiversary collection and the tokens, the rewards are pretty lackluster while still a grindfest). I can't commit for half or I never complete the collection (or need to pay up for gift boxes that are totally not worth it imo). It's either full in or don't bother as the middle rewards are so lackluster.

I'm on 7 items collected and 7 duplicates

I would actually like this idea I had been thinking about other things, like PvE ops for CVs or DDs or even a fight against a H44 (or using an H44 ). Obviously stuff like this would never work in randoms, but might still be fun, if only for training room messing around
