As stated above, unless you provide a screenshot or a replay, not much anyone can do. You might have been spotted by a hydro or radar and not paid attention to the symbol, you might have peaked outside the smoke, another vessel might have approached from another side while you were focused on 4km one and didn't notice it... etc.

I just noticed the Spanish forum has been locked since March 2018. Quite a stupid decision from WG since they don't cost anything and the Spanish community guys were moderating it anyways.

The third mode will be a blank map with nothing but a blue ocean.

Yeah, the previous maps were waaaaaay better and more fun. This forced epicentre mode is quite bad.

Exactly. Shut down the root of the problem, not the products of it. Well, the products as well but the main accounts are the main problem.

Technically, the epicenter is only one of few rings. The central one, to be more specific.

I'd say even less.. I guess we'll never know.

Similar battle but as a non-premium... Playing a 1-star ship. Less than half of the credits and 1/4 of the exp/free exp

Seems like half of the ppl in this thread don't know what 'cosmetic' means.

Just testing the French cruisers in Co-op but somehow I managed to sink 6 out of 8 bots...

It's so easy to notice the bots even if they don't have the standard :bot name: Especially when they have smoke, they activate it as soon as they are detected but they never stay in the smoke but instead continue to push forward, towards a single enemy their AI is focused on. Can be seen in both Co-op and Random battles quite often. Didn't see any on Ranked, yet. WG has no comment on this? Nice.

What about audio? "Torpedoes! Straight ahead... Brought to you by Pepsi Cola"

No time for detailed work on superstructure... Just a sample for now :)

I can see PEPSI camos already...

Why didn't you wait a bit and probably buy less containers?

But you bleed A LOT more credits with the 2-star and especially 3-star ships. I find it funny that players are going outside the ring where they can still see the enemies inside but they are not visible to them. I guess it's a bug that is being abused a lot.

Try finishing the missions as a non-premium and then come back with the same reply.

I'd really like to know how many 'children' got their 'Benham' without using their dad's credit card. I'd definitely bet on one number and my chances of guessing the right number are high enough.

Setting an event in the middle of the summer where you have to grind for hours every single day (including weekends) in order to obtain 'Benham'.... Great idea, I'll happily pass.

You're missing the point but I won't repeat myself. Everything has been written in the previous posts.

Which translates into what I've said earlier - you have to pay, it's NOT free. You have to be premium and pay for a bunch of flags and camos and play A LOT to have a chance of getting 'Benham'. As a non-premium, you can play all day long and you will won't get it. That's the point. Advertising it as 'free' when it's not. Not the first time. Certainly not the last.

Well.... Breaking News... Even if you're not a casual player... Even if you play EVERY DAY for at least few hours... you won't get the 800 fuel tokens and no 'Benham' will be in your port. So casual gaming has nothing to do with their greedy system which is being in force for a while now but getting worse with each update and each new event.

Casual players? Could you please give us a definition of a 'casual player' and enlighten us?

WG is getting more greedy with each new event. Making mission impossible to complete just so you buy premium containers. And you get only 15 fuel tokens for 1250 doubloons. LOL If you play the Rogue Wave as a non-premium you will bleed A LOT of credits. And for nothing since you'll never get the 800 fuel tokens needed for Benham.

The third part of the event is intentionally stupidly HARD. First they give you easy mission so you spend all the time needed to complete them because you know it's doable. Then when you have collected around 500 fuel tokens (most of the guys I believe) then they drop a super hard missions so you cannot complete them at all. But they are playing with psychology that you have more than half needed for 'Benham' and that you will spend some real cash in obtaining premium crates to get fuel tokens that you're missing. Same happened with Lazo when I was just about to get it when they switched from one type of tokens to another. Yeah, sure - you can spend money and have fun or whatever but the greedy system they are making it's disgusting if you ask me and for such greedy guys I wouldn't drop a penny. P.S. Since I know I will never get the 800 tokens without spending real cash (which I will never do as long as WG is so greedy) I'm not even trying. Playing this event as a non-premium is actually wasting credits. A lot. I just played a game where I won, sank 3 ships and made a lot of damage. Guess what - I lost like 50k on that game. I can only imagine how much I'd lose if I played bad which happens more often than not. It's like an event for premiums only, for the guys that spend real cash. The rest cannot play unless they are ready to bleed A LOT of credits.
