Just to remind you that my support ticket is waiting for the 'specialists'. (ID 121577258) I also sent you a PM about it. Don't take it the hard way but the guys from the customer support are useless, especially when dealing with technical issues like this one.

The way I play her in co-op is boring but I pay very little attention to the battle and gets me nice post-battle rewards. Usually I'm busy on other tabs in the browser or Photoshop/Lightroom. Once the battle starts, I go full ahd and go back to what I'm doing. Once I hear "Contact!" I switch to the game, pop up the smoke, turn 90 degrees to one side and start burning anything that approaches. Usually around 1.5XP and 150k credits with no flags or premium consumables wasted. The battle usually ends in less than 5 minutes and then I start over. I think she is too toxic for randoms so I keep her cozy in co-ops.

Yeah, I believe that cut scene was not present in the PTS where I built TWO Puerto Ricos

^ Well, even those 50 camos are nothing special IMHO. Still better than 100 detonation flags though. But nothing SUPER about any of those two.

The PR package is worth $500? Maybe for some, I assure you that for most it's not worth nowhere near that.

Thanks. And please add the above simple question 'to the table' as well: Why SAP deals 0 dmg at the stationary forts (or whatever they are called). I wouldn't know how it was before, I just recently started playing ops but from the tutorials and such it's always the same - stay away from them, they can be nasty. But then again most of those videos and written tutorials have been made years ago... I understand that I can switch to AP and deal dmg to the towers. But if I'm using almost exclusively SAP, why would I need to switch to AP, just for the tower and then back to SAP for the other ships? That should definitely be fixed because there is no reason for the SAP not to work. I mean the whole operation has been created when SAP didn't even exist but so were all the other ships that came before the ITA cruisers...

@lafeel ^ May everyone be trolled by RNG like you are sir.

No need to apologize, I didn't explain in detail :) WOW, gratz! Now that's a prize to brag about. Compare that to 100 detonation flags... LOL

There are no conditions for any other ship though. You can shoot AP or HE, you will damage the towers. (obviously depending on the ship and the distance, choosing the right shell will have better impact) But choosing SAP, you do 0 dmg. And I believe you should always stay further than 7km from the towers, especially in a CL which can even eat a citadel from those towers at short distances. (never experienced that myself but heard about it many times)

WG compensating for a bugged PvE operation? Being in a division with the best players wouldn't help as the most you can get is 3/5 stars when the AI gets Fkd up and your transport ships go either on a suicide mission or back to starting point. This has been brought to the attention of the support and WG staff a week ago. Still not a single word from any of them regarding the issue.

I've heard there is a place where you can find a division of at least half-competent players for playing operations. Any help with that?

Actually the price for an item is 4 duplicates, not 5 like in some previous ones. That means that you could get 5 new items now, getting to 19/20.

With no HE to worry about, it's probably one of the easiest builds :) There is almost nothing anyone could change to the above suggested build for IT cruisers.

Btw. I didn't see that anyone mentioned the fact that you cannot damage the towers (or whatever those stationary targets are, I know they called different) with SAP (Italian cruisers). This should be fixed obviously. @Crysantos @MrConway

I agree. It's just something you complete along the way. Or you don't and then completely ignore it. If it triggers you, WG has prepared some additional shipbuilding containers you can buy in the armory. For doubloons, obviously.

Nothing like a real launch if that's what you're asking. And if the launch on the live server is the same as on the PTS which I believe should be. EDIT: I found a video showing the whole animation, from start to end.

No, not at all. Smart, huh? The shipbuilding containers are only for completing the shipbuilding collection..

Not much to see here as I don't have hundreds of ships like most of you :)

The main difference between Gorizia and Zara is the German hydro VS torps. It's up to you and your play style to choose what fits you better. I wouldn't consider them the worst or the best. But for a T7 premium, Gorizia is nothing special, to say the least. Players posting good battles with her means absolutely nothing to me TBH.

I always choose "More Resources". These SCs are from the USN campaign which I'm doing right now... I'd never choose "Try Your Luck", not with WG's RNG and their understanding of "luck".

From my experience, super containers have become a joke. A very bad one. If you ask me... I'd rather take the regular container over the SC giving me 100 useless flags I never use.

Issues continue this morning.... No word from WG. Just mods deleting the posts where WG acknowledged the issues (they say 'difficulties') they have with servers.

I envy you I'll soon have enough for the next coal ship and that will be just the 3rd one I obtain and using a discount...

From what I could hear and grasp from the top of WG (like when Boyarski spoke) they do think that everything is great. They either live in denial or they have to pretend all the time, talking BS in public while knowing that they messed up, big time.

I'll tell you one thing... the only worse support I've encountered (EVER) was the support from huge companies like Facebook, Google etc. with whom you can't even get in touch unless you bleed. WG support does reply and actually replies quite fast. However, those replies are usually useless templates, they don't read what was written, they don't understand English and most of the time they have no clue about the game, even the basic stuff. The names are definitely made up and I wonder why. Contacting the support is usually (for me always) a waste of time getting templates as replies from people who don't have ANY experience at the game or the customer support job.
