This is only for 2 containers which everyone should’ve got either got directly or by a code being passed on, my issue is the first year anniversary of registering with WG. Which given what happened on this occasion doesn’t bode well for future personal anniversaries. In protest I’m boycotting the game for a week.

Obviously like Russia the best navy in the history of naval warfare 😆.

Let’s face it despite the reds losses in World War Two, on the warship front they were totally pants, so it being a Russian game obviously Russian ships are gonna come out singing of roses, while other ships that did actually fight, are famous and well known get nerfed to high heaven and historical accuracy thrown out the window. Who wants an unknown Russkie paper ship when you can have a Tirpitz, Rodney, Alabama, Nagato, etc,etc,etc. Unless it’s rocket propelled homing sells are mounted on concrete and Kevlar laced titanium hulls.

I understand rules are rules and deadlines are deadlines, but it’s no good without a little bit of clarity: here’s your parking ticket you went 5 mins over what the sign says; what sign ;-)

It was indeed my first anniversary as a player, the original email was very vague in notification, but explicit in what I would get. Again my coupons is very clear; any new coupons will be notified via email, I got no email, was the original notification ?, did it say check and as you saw where to look/how to do it. And even the response I got from customer servs was vague; sorry you missed out but hopefully you’ll get another very soon:). Do EU users get the coupon and why given WG’s natural ability to charge the earth and for everything are they hesitant to provide a coupon when it means they get another 30 quid ??. I would say it defies logic, but then we are talking about WG.

Maybe an official response from Mr Conway would address this query, I.e do EU users get a discount coupon or not, and if so as per the statement in “my coupons”, shouldn’t we get an email notifying us of said coupon ?.

Hood definitely had torps, but as per norm (poor historical accuracy) = not in game. But then WARSPITE & SCHARNHORST share the record for the longest strike of 24 km and yet in game Warspite's range is only 16.3, and Shiny couldn't hit a mountain from 2 feet. So wait for Russian CV's to have Torps, blackjacks, bears, fulcrums, hinds, phalanx and cruise missiles, with 20 km radar and smoke.

Me neither, got rid of the two French DD's I easily acquired. Like CV's I have zero interest in them.

Yep I checked in "my coupons", and there is none, but it does clearly state; a confirmation e-mail will be sent when a coupon has been applied to your account, which everyone can see for themselves, I never got one, but as stated WG blamed my e-mail address even though I got the one last night about the bonus code (2 crates), and essentially said tough luck you missed out!. The usual mightier than thou response.

Another conspiracy post, yep I too have added my six pence worth about the sudden and erratic change in fortune, well WR. You'll get the usual "it's you mate, you're crap, or try harder, and stats don't matter anyway". How many moaners/whiners or whatever you want to call us does it take before people think; there's something in this; and not doggy doodoo ;-). Tell me is Russia / the game without controversy ?, going by how strong and accurate the well known and world famous Russian BB's are, I have no doubt Russian Subs and Carriers will also be uber. In light of the CV rework fiasco Is it impossible encountered sudden and unexplained bad runs are just bad luck ?. Btw given release notes for 8.07 concerning match maker, and how it can be tweeked it does make you kinda wonder ;-). Until the next, conspiracy theory.

No I didn't I've been waiting, no where to look, no e-mail and the very vague in a few games ?. Glad to see WG values it's customers so highly.

Permanent Camo, or selection of was one of my pointers to improving the game, in response to someone else asking are you happy with the game, it’s definitely a move in the right direction as opposed to charging 8000 dabs for a bit of paint, hey maybe WG actually do care about its loyal but rowdy customer base 😚. Any chance of the same camo and more for other ships PLEASE. Just a thought but being able to permanently mount some of the cost/dab camos in the camo locker would be nice.

Mains Accuracy, reload, secondary buff and a free bratty please.

Better than emerald, very easy to citadel if side's are exposed, good guns, firing arch, nimble, good torps. Definitely needs smoke consumable, given MM, quite often you're up against Fiji's, which are supposedly light cruisers with smoke, not forgetting T7 BB's, like Nelson, Hood, KGV, Shiny, Gne, Etc,etc. In short it's a watered down mini Belfast.

The usual muppetry on display, but today's happiest battle; T7 GNE in a T8 Match, with Shokaku on reds team, Reds capped C quickly, greens sailed around between caps, and stalled behind an island outside of A, T8 BB's sat on thumbs, and things looking bleak, so just went for it, killed 36 planes, 3 botes (would've been 4 with the cv, but kill steal), got Confed, finished top and obviously won the match.

It's good to see that the only thing that changes is the date on the calender. I take back what I originally said about matchmaker being better, it's not, last 4 battles in T8 Bismarck; T9, T10, T8 (all) & T10, Gne one battle; T9. Therefore like the AA / cv rework, work still needed. Regarding AA, yep still very flawed, CV (hidden obviously) is still able to deliver more damage that a T9 John Bart, while in my T7 GNE, which has a meager 81 AA rating and a fighter. . Weekenders/Spuds ; 1) 5 vs 2 and they went for caps, it ended 3 vs 2, 2) Green Shiny in Red Cap counteracting the DD in green cap, Shiny moved from cover and out of cap to engage 1/2 hp BB, losing cap and getting sunk in the process, with no greens anywhere near Red dd abandon's cap to return to red cap, Edinburgh sails full broadside to Gne, The Joys of weekend/bank holiday play

Hands up who "doesn't" encounter the usual weekend ritual of infrequent warship warriors ?, The latest update has finally resolved matchmaking, not sure about the reworked, reworked, rework, as AA still doesn't work right, e.g planes from a T6 CV vs a T7 DD and planes from a T6 CV vs T8 Bismarck, can anyone explain how and why the DD does better, and the Bis has an AA rating of 77, personally I don't like the new AA set up, and the fact that a T6 Cv is happy to head straight for a T8 Bismarck, as opposed to lower Tier Cruisers and DD's, says it all. AA is still not right. So with progress in mind, could WG please consider putting weekend warriors into there own little lemming, blob world please. So far today, cruisers sitting behind me (In Bismarck, despite going half speed), 5 team mates within spitting distance of each other dancing, no that's too energetic; crawling around a handbag while being encircled as I try to fend off the Reds, although it did make a change from lemming off into the distance, AFK's would've put up a tougher fight, to name but 2 thus far today. My average damage, kills and stats have deffo improved, and then we get to the weekend, anyone else frustrated ?.

Depends on the BB, Low Tier Brit BB's are fun, mid to high really depend on HE and are useless in close / brawling. Warspite great at T6, Love Hood but let down by MM and KGV a fire breather. The two premiums score citadels for fun. Germans have great armour, are great brawlers and at T7 and T8 a lot of fun, however as with all T8's match making often pits them against T10's, however when top tier facing T6's, they are gods. Japanese, Kongo great, fuso good, Nagato, my fave with very powerful guns and good secondaries, reloading and speed are poor, didn't like Amagi. - No interested in doing T9 & T10. Yank - Good AA, speed, accurate, the Mass has Bismarck like secondaries. I'd love Missouri but not variable. Russian - New kids, unknown's with uber accuracy and concrete laced titanium hulls - no interest in at all. Others - don't know. As you go up the tiers Cruisers become island huggers, spamming HE, let the fire burn, pull back or duck for cover, unless you can kill the Cruiser, as soon as they take ONE SHOT, they run, personally I laugh my socks off, they try so hard to burn you down, but repair and heal recovers most fire damage, I've lost track of the amount of Cruisers Like the Nurnberg, Cleveland, Atlanta, Flint, Baltimore, etc,etc that spam HE, only to be sunk/citadelled by my AP, as I then press heal. A lot of BB's are turning to HE, let them, they can't heal your AP as much as you their HE, I just had a fight with a full hp New Mexico, in my 1/2 hp Warspite, whilst watching my back against a DD, yep another loss for Team Noob, but the New Mex fired HE at me, me AP, he died I lived, 3 kills 3rd in team and highest T6, also got a dreadnought ;-). Against DD's don't sail in straight lines and vary your speed ; one of my fave games involved my T7 Gneisenau against a T8 Kagero, the clock ran out after he tried for at least 5 mins to sink me, my secondaries spoke for themselves. And don't be afraid to shoot at a DD from distance, they very rarely change speed or direction when 15km+ away ;-). As your capt skills increase, you can take skills to combat/reduce fires/burn time, plus you can obviously use Fire and Torp flags. As a rule aim for the waterline, although this can vary, in my Gneisenau I do this but for the Hood I am at the top of the hull. If you pick a BB with good secondaries, you worry less about DD's, I have 19 pointers in my BB's, with manual secondaries, As soon as I see the nearest DD i select it, hence my high secondary kills tally (almost 20%) and if being plagued by a DD and heading towards a Red BB, mains will fire at the BB and seconds will stay on the DD / or other target, if I'm in the T7's I can also send Torps in 2 directions as well ;-).

I posted something like this a while ago and got lambasted, look at your stats, your crap, etc etc, and recently “what am I doing wrong”, the same response, some will also say well with more spuds you’ll do better, unless of course said spuds are on your side, dancing around a handbag while reds surround and kick butt, there is no doubt the MM has improved, that said my poor Bismarck sees more T10’s than 6’s, but that said T10 conks try to brawl, with me, rofl. I think most, if not all of us, agree that like the whole CV/AA fiasco that team mates are increasingly erratic/unreliable, which does indeed knock our WR & PR etc whilst causing a lot of frustration; why should I try when clearly others don’t give a damn. e.g how can you cap, push etc when put on the back foot by lemming DD’s rushing into the cap getting whacked in the first minute, I know my DD’s have RPF but really rushing in ?. And cruisers that hide behind a BB or an island. No doubt WG will bring out another New T9/10 prem for a mere 90 quid to placate us.

Lighten Up Mad Slug, I'm ex-RAF, which would explain why I'm poop at sailing around in botes, I was having a dig at Hollywood and WG, I agree the the western allies & their countries had a very hard time, but nothing compared to the Russians,who lost far, far, far more, however please correct me but the Russian Navy ?, Battle of North Cape, all major naval battles, famous warships, accuracy (i.e Warspite and Scharnhorst), one has sigma 2.0 one it feels like 0.2. I shouldn't be surprised in a Russian game that Russian BB's are the most accurate. Back to the matter in hand, it's great to see my beliefs on the "very" flawed AA rework are coming to fruition. When will WG admit defeat and return CV's back to the RTS mode, which personally I preferred, I repeat all they had to do was increase sqn sizes to what they are now and allow the player to determine the cv loadout, I'd have gone for fighters (cap and spotting), and torp bombers. I'd still be playing Ryujo, and Hosho had they done that, if I wanted a flight sim I'd have downloaded a proper plane game. Until the next AA/CV rework !. One can only imagine what the Subs introduction will be like.

Well given that the US won the second world war on it's own, that Russia had world famous uber accurate BB's , that German BB's couldn't hit a barn door from 5 feet etc,etc, you mean it's not historically accurate .

So does that mean all BB's will receive a buff, so that with every salvo we get a Citadel ?. Is it not the same, given the damage caused by homing rockets and nuke dive bombers ?.

Well, who thinks the AA rework, in support of the CV reworked, rework, rework......... etc, actually works. Already posted today about weekenders and what happened then; A T6 CV ignored T6/T7 DD and cruiser and went straight for my T8 Bismarck, which has an AA rating of 77, did my high AA rating,my fighter and the new wonderful AA swat the planes like flies, no, similarly my Gneisenau and Hood's AA seems worse, just played a game in Gneisenau (3 kills), and yep a loss, Red CV got 4 kills, and came second in his team, Green Cv got one kill and finished top of his team (I was second), I killed 14 planes, before the reworked rework I'd have got 20+. I also watched red DB's DB green cv, which btw causes as much damage as a BB citadelling you (while said cv continues to hide behind an island), Cv's have the best AA in the game right ?, so explain to me how reds still managed to DB the green cv, with his AA and CAP. You'll also notice planes come in from the stern and bow now, give it a few more "hours" and cv's will be back to how they were before the actual rework that finally curtailed massively op cv's. If you're a world of warplanes reject you come in from the bow/stern wait for the bote to allocate the area and then go the other side ??. The AA rework doesn't work !.

I am and do, hence the question why if AA was so good and at 77 it should swat most of the flies away , is DD more effective , and obviously either it was a weekender cv or someone that’s knows AA is still broken ?., if you had a t6 cv would you fly past t6 &7 dd and cruisers to get to a T8 BB ?

I’ve yet to be in a 3 ship Division with my Gne, but having recently been in a two ship can say we steamrolled the reds we came across, mains and torps on BB’s and cruisers and secondaries on DD’s. I can only imagine 3 Gnes together or even 3 shiny’s together. At T7 can you think of 3 other BB’s coming at you that will cause you to turn and run ?. Eg. imagine 3 specced for secondaries and the HE spammed out to any unlucky DD’s within 8 km. Anything regardless of tier would be toast, same goes for a 3 Tirpitz Div in T8.
