I tend to miss stuff, usually I'm kinda busy Last known position only works on live ships and the sunk ones don't display their type next to their corpse I think? Of course I could fire up a replay, if I really wanted to (if ). Perhaps, but I'd have to see proof of some kind before I consider this to be true. And so far I haven't and if it's extremely rare circumstances, it's not of any real consequence anyway

I'd take it the joke wasn't on target?

I played another battle yesterday (maybe two) but again, I cannot verify it's 2 different Myokos. So far it seems like there's only one but it moves around a lot if it isn't killed quickly.

You didn't know they were adding those premium nuclear shells for people that can't hit anything? You simply aim between caps A and B and both of them will be cleared of enemies

Hi. I have 2 separate questions 1) Is there a mod that adds to WoWS the Halloween harbor of 2017? Aslains has the 2016 and 2015 ones, but the 2017 one seems to be missing and I liked it a lot including the music in that port. 2) Is there a mod that somehow distinguishes certain players while in the battle? I know there exists a mod that distinguishes certain clans by adding a logo, but is there something similar for people like persons on my friendslist or a customizable list (for instance of people from this forum ). I can vaguely remember having made such a mod by changing some other mod in WoT years ago, but apparently that stuff was deleted. And besides, if it already exists, why reinvent the wheel?

How about the 16in W23 nuclear shell for premium ammo?

Just played another Raptor (died at the torpy bit as all but one were chasing the cv I ended up killing by myself (I was Ryujo)) and there was a Myoko. Too bad I didn't manage to see the final spawn. There might be 2 of them but can't verify atm.

I believe it has something to do with what is rewarding for xp and credits and what is not. Tanking is not rewarding, so 'nobody' does it. Staying at the back and shooting damage and getting kills is more rewarding as it nets more income, they just blame the team if nobody feels inclined to tank for them. I think this is not all, but is a part of it.

That was my longest Only once, all other 'come backs' were much shorter. I went back because a friend of mine wanted to div with me and I was like "oh, ok whatever. Maybe it will be fun again"

I recently gotten the first batch of supercontainers (the repair module and 25x red dragon...not terrible but I had been hoping for a bit more useful stuff). Did it mostly using the credit/cxp 1 star missions but did some of the others in between. Progress is slowed down a bit as I'm simultaneously also doing missions for the Honorable Service campaign, which I have also never completed.

Took a while, but I found it. It was a weird battle and things were messed up , I even disconnected and was afk for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes? In the end I had no heals left and 9k hp and rammed a Bismarck to death It was me in my Monarch And yes, it was a weird battle, very close call as well.

It seems to be such a day today! Ran into @ColonelPete just now in his Leander while I was going for a swim in my Pepsi. Not literally as he had torps and I didn't And there's soooooo many carriers in the lower tiers! Anyway, till next time . And perhaps I'll notice before my death

I'm having FUN in WoWS right now and it's more fun then I ever had in WoT (except maybe the very start before they started making these changes in maps and adding OP vehicles and kept doing it). If WoWS also turns into P2L 5 minute roflstomps of pure WN8 addiction, I'm going to play another game again. I don't want to sound arrogant but they should be glad I'm giving them a second chance and so far I'm liking it here (mostly). I tried starting again in WoT at least 5 times or so. Longest I managed was maybe 2 to 3 weeks? Then I got fed up with it again.

I'm kinda done with Raptor I think. There was a difference the last time I tried, my team had 3(!) players with higher then 53% winrate. One was hiding directly besides Raptor as she got torped at the torpy bit again and I don't know what the rest was doing but we failed even faster then the other team I had today I can be first place most of the time but getting 272 base XP is not worth it. I had problems with Raptor last time it was the weekly as well so I'm skipping Raptor from now on, just a waste of time. @Butterdoll I may have noticed one change (not absolutely sure on this one though but I thought I should mention it), the enemy ships without DefAA in Raptor ops seem to have very good AA damage numbers, I often loose 2 of my 4 torp bombers when attacking a Kongo even? Even Myogi manages to shoot down a plane unless I do auto drop from great distance. Maybe I'm overlooking something here but I thought these ships had kinda terrible AA? Well obviously they use aimbot

Especially with a Musashi in a carrier game

It's not just the premium ammo, it's about what WoT has become these days. I think this video does a pretty good job Well I guess I should help out then

And tier 5 (and maybe 6) are infested with carriers these days, often having 2 CVs each team no thanks There have been much fewer carriers in the higher tiers for a long time, but overall the number of CVs seems to be growing On top of that half the games have at least one Kamikaze ... I'd rather stay at tier 8 lol

The thing is that ever since the split was starting to become imminent, I even had trouble finding out which temporary name the NO at tier 7 had, and there was nothing to see. It was all Wooster, the new premiums and perhaps the new Cleveland. Nothing at all about NO at tier 7 (also not what was gonna happen with its anniversary camo for months! Till after the permacamos had been 50% discounted and I had decided to not buy it due to lack of relevant information). I had also been looking at Ishizuchi and I found one by Notser from 2016 Though to be fair, I also had some trouble finding good more recent reviews of Lion (tier 9 Brit BB) and due to the wiki page about Lion being written in a weird way (about the animal) I resorted to using google translate on the Russian page The less popular ships are a bit underexposed I think. And Dallas and its tier 7 sister? I have no idea what it's gonna be like so I'm undecided on what to do with my former Cleveland captain ...

The thing I noticed with operations now (and I mean Raptor particularly), it's either a 5 star (or maybe 4) or a total loss. I barely try out Raptor anymore, same thing as last time it was weekly: Too many idiots, again our Raptor was tanking at the torpy bit and miraculously survived for a bit longer with 1k hp left (all other support ships were dead). The playlist contained players like 3.6k battles & 46.6% winrate, 2.2k battles & 42.7% winrate, 2.2k battles & 42.7% winrate (yes 2 with roughly same amount of battles and very similar winrates), 8.3k battles & 47.1% winrate, 0.6k battles & 48.9% winrate and one with 8.3k battles & 47.1% winrate (by chance also same numbers when rounded). I was the only one with an above 49% winrate of 52.3% with 2.2k battles (I only counted randoms). Frankly, I can hardly be bothered anymore to put up the effort to save these braindeads on my team most of the time And lets face it, I'm only slightly above average player

I still wonder why this is supposedly a bug? I mean, even in the video made by WG about how armor works on the Fuso I believe, the different sheets of metal are supposed to reacft to shells that way. And in cruisers it also functions that way, right? In all ships? DDs don't even have a citadel anymore (iirc someone mentioned DDs used to also have a citadel?).

Just met @Up_The_Donald in his DM while my Bismarck was doing its shakedown cruise He wasn't too happy with his team though, even though he obviously did his best. But good thing I made him feel better Our DD seemed to have had too much grog and apart from a lucky double citadel on his Kutuzov's teammember, most I did was kyting away after our Montana was gone Gotta love tier 8 ships for that Till next time Donald , maybe you will have more luck with me on the same team as yours

Nope, none yet and so far gotten all of the free mission ones.

Also ran into @MortenTardo later today in his Republique while I was sailing my Bismarck (same team). This battle was a bit more unfortunate and odd one, but a very close one as well. Nicely played, till next time

I don't think I'm going to top this one today Battle ended within 10 minutes due to our team achieving 1000 points and me playing agressively, almost suicidally I don't think the DM that I rammed to death was very happy about it though, I had achieved total surprise I got "You received a compliment!" after the battle, only to see it had remained at 38 (same as before that battle). The battle lasted less then 10 minutes due to enemy team running out of points. I think the screenshots speak for themselves, replay attached of how an average pleb like me can accomplish such a feat Yes I had a bit of luck, but it was mostly just balls and a lot of "Oh I'm bottom tier, can't really be bothered to play it too seriously so lets see what happens " and some quick thinking I'm happy with this battle! 20180618_143247_PFSB108-Richelieu_38_Canada.wowsreplay
