Moderation edit... LOL P.S. The deleted post can be found quoted few posts below my original censored one. I guess 'vodka guy' was over the top, wasn't it?

Concealment mod is far more useful for any class than any other mod currently available, including the new ones.

Oh, you said 'AND'. That's ok then. I was paying almost as much for a pint only (no takeaway) in Sidney but it UK was significantly cheaper... But I'm getting off topic here so I'll leave at that. Or to get back to topic... You either freeXP to T8 or you buy London and get the doubloons back when you finish all directives. Those 10 tokens a day (the sooner you get one of those, the better) definitely means a lot. For me it means I can go on vacation tomorrow for a week and still get the captain and doubloons back... For others it means they don't need to grind as much and can enjoy playing relaxed, still knowing they will get all rewards, including the main ones (RN captain + London)... Yeah, it's not a hard decision despite London not being anything special really.

Out of all this I have to say.... your pint is quite expensive. Cheers.

Which once again proves that removing one operation (the most popular one) for issues affecting ALL operations is a complete nonsense that WG cannot explain.

I'm not saying it's not nice, it most certainly is. I'm just talking about something else here (which I already explained more than once). Oh well, I'll just wait for the response from @YabbaCoe @Crysantos @MrConway @Sehales or someone else, probably after the weekend.

I'm not sure if I was not clear enough in my previous post or you didn't read it carefully. I know what the prize was (100 'Royal tokens') but I didn't know what those 100 tokens are for, I didn't know what's the main reward or how much tokens I need for that main reward or any other reward for that matter. So I simply did not know the value or the use of those 100 'Royal Tokens' and at the time it made no difference if the reward was 1 'Royal Token' or 10,000 'Royal Tokens' as any additional information was missing and therefore there was no context to those 100 'Royal Tokens'. Is it clearer now?

@YabbaCoe Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe that no details about the British tokens and the rewards were given for the duration (or prior to) of the PTS. What do I mean? While we were on the PTS I believe we had no idea what those 100 tokens mean. We didn't know the rewards, how many tokens we will be able to win etc. Don't you think it would make sense and be fair for the players to at least give them some details regarding the tokens they will be given for doing certain tasks in the PTS? For example, I was so disappointed with your 'British tokens' and getting no ships at all (despite opening all random bundles possible) that I didn't want to bother with the PTS, especially not reaching Rank 1 in Ranked. If I knew that by reaching reaching Rank 1 in Ranked, I'd be getting 10% of the required tokens for the RN Captain... I'd probably reconsider.

Did WG tweak some of the ops that were brought back now? I have a feeling Aegis is different than it was last time I've played it (last rotation). I experienced a more difficult gameplay with a lot more torps than before.

As far as I can see that upgrade affects the dispersion of SECONDARY battery shells, not main gun shells. (and it reduced dispersion, not the other way around anyways) I mean it does change the 'dispersion' value when I change it but now I'm a bit confused TBH.

Can you post a screenshot showing you 305m max. dispression? It's the old 271m for me over here...

@YabbaCoe I had issues more than once since the update... The UI non-responsive... when I left-click on something I can see the UI registering the click but there is no reply from the server to excuse the command. For example even trying to exit the game in such state (clicking on the 'settings' icon in the top left corner) doesn't work. I can see the 'settings' icon being clicked but no setting are being opened. I have to "end task" by force. That's the only way to exit the game, restart it and hope it won't happen again. I was also trying to open a daily container and when I click on "collect container", the button is being pressed but no container is being delivered. No matter how many times I press the button, nothing happens (except seeing the button being pressed). Then when I press 'Esc' (or click on it) then it asks me which container I want to collect. Something is messed up. Not good.

Anyone playing it again? I played it last time (a month ago?) and I was completing it almost every time with 5/5 even with a team of potatoes... Last night I played ONCE and we got pounded, especially with an insane amount of torpedoes from all cruisers. TBH I've never experienced that many torps in this operation before. Is it just me or they tweaked this operation a bit? Can someone check/confirm? Tnx.

More luck than skill... Still a Kraken so I'm not complaining...

Another crippled premium ship just because you can get it for free.

I've been noticing more and more how the (horizontal) distance between the torps in a single launch is not the same. I'd assume that all torps should be spread equally since you're launching them at pretty much the same time from the pretty much same spot. Obviously there is some difference on both of those variables but that still doesn't explain how one torp is separated from the rest... It just seems off and I'm wondering if anyone else noticed and if this is "working as intended", a bug in rendering or a bug in general?

@Taliesn (to avoid quoting and making a post longer than it has to be) This has absolutely nothing to do with 'rigged MM' or any 'thin foil' theories. I'm just sharing my experience based on my Random battles in the last week or so... I can't be even bothered to check how many there were (this can be checked.. I know.. I just don't think it's relevant and I don't care about those stats ppl are so obsessed nowadays) but out of a couple dozens of battles... that's the experience I had. I think there was one battle only where it was interesting and close til the very end. The rest were decided in the first 5 minutes and the majority of those were one team completely zeroing the other. Another thing I've noticed in regards to the MM is when I was grinding the Russian CL line (again, last week or two). With Chapayev I was in battles with T10s most of the time. Once I got Donskoi, I was mostly matched with T8s and even T7s. Again, no 'rigged MM' or anything like that (in that would be the case I wouldn't mention being high tier with Donskoi in the majority of my battles) but it's just an experience I've had. I might be able to look at some logs and show this off but is it really necessary? You can believe it or not, I don't really care. After all, it's my personal experience, not necessarily the experience of other players. I suspect that I just had really bad luck and that's it. And obviously the MM which doesn't take into consideration the skill of the players. I'm not saying it should or proposing anything... I'm just saying if skill was one of the parameters in the MM, I probably wouldn't have the experience I had in the last week or two playing random battles and seeing one team wiping the other within the first half of the battle (often even sooner than that). That's it. My experience. My thoughts. Take it or ignore it.

Yeah, I know what it means. If it's not every other then it's very close to that. Luckily I don't play toxic random battles much so I guess there won't be any proofs you're looking for any time soon. Also I could be posting even fake screenshots just to prove my point so I guess it's completely unreasonable to ask for that and also to provide the screenshots from my side. I'm just telling you what is my personal experience because I did play random battles in the last week or so. Even last night, the situation was pretty much similar. Yeah, I played terribly actually but so was the rest of the team. So last night for example we were deleted every battle except one where we deleted the other team. So basically 100% of the battles last night were like that - one team heavily dominating the other. You might disagree, you might have a different experience but don't try to make it like you know how it is and it cannot be different for other players. Seems like you're upset with my experience even though I'm not sure why.

In a nutshell... I could post screenshots like this one (or the exact opposite) every other battle...

Submarines didn't even come yet and they are already disrupting the game-play...

Yes, it can. The event will run for 28 days and each day that you have one of those 3 ships you can get 10 tokens for playing a battle with one of them. So if you complete the 4th directive the first day it comes out (18 days from now, 19 days since the update) means that you will have 9 days to play with London and obtain 90 tokens with her. I didn't read this specifically but my logic dictates it should be like that. Maybe someone else or @Crysantos / @MrConway can confirm this.

I already posted in the other SC thread... 100 useless flags, as always...

Yeah, I'm one of those guys that don't have much freeXP. Since I started playing I haven't seen 1mil freeXP yet and it's not like I've been wasting a lot on the tech tree (mostly for certain modules only). Anyways, I'm in no rush at all for the RN CA line so that's fine. P.S. Not sure where we discuss directives/missions so I'll just drop it here... 15 citadels with cruisers... one battle in co-op with Smolensk (I already said how useful this stupid ship is for co-op)

Take Albemarle? You mean to give 275,000 freeXP to obtain it the first day? Note that I haven't received a single RN CA, despite opening all random bundles that were available in the previous patch. I guess buying London would make more sense but I believe I'll be fine even without those extra 10 tokens per day. (if my math is correct and nobody stated otherwise since I posted it)
