But what about people who will want to get an italian supercommander later somewhere down the line?

WG is really prioritizing RNG with this kind of stuff and I don't like it.

You only really need it for destroyers and for clan battles. I actually sold 200 deto signals as I had over 1k of them and I even use deto signals playing DDs in coop. I get them from missions and events and supercrates. I never had to buy any and I play DD regularly. I also got plenty deto signals on my alt accounts. It's with everything in life: Don't spam it aimlessly, use with care and don't play DD exclusively (which ftr is not what you are doing but more a generic tip).

So why did you get a chat ban?

Same reason why it's bad to

Oh ok, I didn't get that indeed. In that case I don't really care that much since I just remember how much I still need

We have daily missions and the daily containers and I prefer the UI for those over the ones in WoT which seems harder to find imo. And I find the daily supply containers quite immersive actually.

Interesting... Will this actually work? I could try once I find a spare portable storage media.

I'm kinda sad I was unable to install WoWS on my laptop due to it requiring like 87GB or so

Checked your mail? There may be a separate welcome back bonus listed in there which was totally independent from the one you get when you come back and have someone recruit you etc.

Some very good answers have already been given here So my answer will probably duplicate some of what's already mentioned here. One frustrating thing is having random teammates along with the somewhat rock-paper-scissors mm (Be the only bottom tier DD in a double carrier match with tier 6/8 carriers and you're kinda fracked) in combination with winning being so important here due to how progressing in wows is set up. You need xp to progress, but for this it is important that you win while having limited influence over your chances to win. That's why someone who is pro will win only like 50% more battles compared to a complete potato. Back when I played BF, winning wasn't important at all (except maybe when being commander). I only cared for my own progress and my own knife k/d ratio, so even having 10 losses in a row meant nothing to me and having potatoes in my team was only something exploitable for me. This is also why I don't like being forced into some kind of competitive PvP meta (which arguably, BF wasn't as winning didn't even really matter). The toxicity can also be frustrating, but imo WG is doing the right thing here alongside the ease of just blocking someone outright and teamkiller-greavers not really being able to teamkill due to how mirrored damage works. I would however like to be able to see blacklisted people in the portui chats as well as in the game, so I can avoid them more easily when forming ops farm groups. And I already got to it, the port ui lagging can also be frustrating. WoT doesn't have this. Perhaps I need an SSD to get silkysmooth chat, but I think this is a bit absurd as even my old 486 handled chat more smoothly (not a joke btw). Other frustrating stuff is stuff like P2W (which wows has very little of, practically speaking) and P2G (which is a bit more complicated matter, partially due to how much powercreep is involved here, complicated further by WG's own business model, so no clear answers here imo). Despite the couple things that have made WoWS a bit worse since I played it and how much better WOT has become compared to a few years ago, WoWS is still the better game imo. Otherwise I wouldn't even be playing this game anymore right? The reward system in WoWS is pretty good, though can be very grindy at times. WoWS is perfectly playable as a F2P player, but still rewarding to people who want to support the game financially, O gods I'm starting to come off as some kind of salesman here or something But whatever. The gated stuff I don't like as much, though perfectly understandable from a business model PoV. When not considering some of the grind aspects and how toxic randoms and ranked battles can be (due to mm, teammates and winning is everything-thingy), this game is still usually very enjoyable in certain gamemodes with the vast majority of the frustration factors quite easy to avoid

Ranked is always a gamemode that kinda disappointed me most of the time. Playing 2 battles and getting reported 3 times or so, it makes ranked the worst gamemode for not loosing karma afaict. I'm fairly sure WG gave the karma system (along with the chat ban system) a lot of thought, but when it comes to the karma number itself, I don't think WG implemented as much into this system compared to how much attention the chat ban system is getting (and frankly, personally I believe the chat ban system should get more priority anyway compared to the karma number). I like the karma system though, though it could be better.

I really didn't like how they handled the PR event, if only due to how they tryharded into making people spending more money which they knew would make PR grinders make different (financial) choices if they had known certain things in advance. I'll see how this event will unfold.

Same here. I was also kinda surprised by the relative few Blacks sailing around compared to Benhams. Btw, reposted the list but sorted by numbers without the subclasses "Smolensk" = 42.023 "Jean Bart" = 41.238 "Musashi" = 33.967 (was also available for Coal IIRC) "Alaska" = 32.306 "Missouri" = 27.265 "Georgia" = 26.836 "Salem" = 23.267 "Kronshtadt" = 20.981 "Yoshino" = 20.630 "Thunderer" = 20.279 "Puerto Rico" = 14.476 "Friesland" = 14.442 "Azuma" = 11.984 "Stalingrad" = 10.122 (was also reward for Ranked Clan Battles long time ago) "Benham" = 9.612 "Black" = 6.428 (was also reward for Ranked long time ago) "Ohio" = 4.112 "Bourgogne" = 3.488 "Somers" = 2.998 "Colbert" = 2.535 "Smaland" = 2.186 "Marceau" = 1.856 "Neustrashimy" = 513 "Hayate" = 455

Will I still be able to start and log into the game by doubleclicking the exe? Maybe a stupid question but well here we go

Dockyard 2020/2021 ship spotted!

I forgot I was not using chrome Thanks

Is there any way to translate this? Apparently google won't translate full websites anymore? And I can't seen to select some of the russian text so I don't know what the columns mean.

Tbf, I also didn't feel like playing something like a BB just so I could play as fish bait

What was the old launcher again?

I think a few days ago I posted somewhere that thus far all games with full random plebs went ok? Guess how my next 3 solo narai games went? With a div it's still fun though, but since most groups are now with 6 or 7, it has become somewhat more boring.

Either the computer needs a good cleaning, a good de-worming () or (parts of) the hardware is on its way out. It could even be simple overheating or an update that is playing up in a weird way. Regarding computer parts getting less tolerant for overclocking could also indicate stuff like electro-migration or aging of caps. Or TIM drying out. Years ago I had hard crashes when gaming and I was only able to solve it by adding in a dedicated sound card. For some reason the onboard sound was seemingly the cause of this. Not sure but the new addon card did fix it.

There can be all kinds of reasons to stop playing a game. Some may be kinda arbitrary like not having the time for a game or loosing interest or finding a game that is more fun to play. Or because the game you are playing becomes less fun to play. Or even lack of (new) PvE content.

I'm not sure why WG made this change, but it has some positives in that now there's no forcing to pick either economic or battle signals anymore, which imo is a good change. I assume you are right btw, it makes sense. Obviously, this change will make people run out of signals more quickly. The div play was also to keep the idiots out. Income now is good, but forming groups is also harder now that less people div up (or at least outside of private channels like clan and discord). It's real fortunate that narai happens to be the weekly along with the 200% first win bonus, so I've been playing a lot of narais with just a couple others (who I usually would not even really know except for their winrate and awards, because I check these things before adding them to my div) and filling up the rest with random plebs. It's been surprisingly enjoyable btw, but mostly because I simply gave up on doing any of the more fun stuff 100% and let 2 or 3 of the plebs go farm the transports with me focusing exclusively on getting a win. It certainly helps to div up with at least 1 or 2 other decent players as this makes winning a lot easier, even with 4 or 5 random plebs in the group.

I liked the idea of putting tiers 9 and 10 together. And I also liked the concept of arms race. So I played with my Jutland. 1st battle was fun and really close! 2nd battle, enemy had a stalingrad and the battle was crap 3rd battle enemy had a stalingrad and the battle was crap 4th battle both teams had a carrier, I'm done. I feel like crap, this is supposed to be a FUN game? Well I'm not having any fun. Spending my time and feeling shittier the more I play it. Get rid of this [edited]stalingrad already.
