KOTS XIII will have 7 CVs per team...

Its just the general rank of toxic game play across the board at the moment and it has gotten worse with the deadeye skill implementation - a lot worse. Like I say to most players, do your bit, learn tactics, watch videos and try to learn as much as you can. I would recommend watching flamu or carbine carlito as they have excellent positioning videos. What I would not recommend is getting into a t9/t10 DD as soon as you can after 30 games and hanging back behind the BBs trying to stay safe - you will get tons of bad karma and grief which is richly deserved. Took me 8 months to really figure the core of the gameplay out across different ships and I have slowly dragged myself up from a <45% winrate to 52% and that has taken a lot of focus. Nothing gets me more annoyed than people who haven't got a clue what the minimap is sailing around in tier 10 games and wasting people's time. If you are going to try to play the game for its merits and help the team out then welcome. If you are going to sit in your smoke cloud 'asking for intelligence data', then not so...

Funny, but wrong on so many levels :).

I don't know who you are or wish you anything negative, neither do I have any opinion on your situation and managing in-game clans can be hard, but I must admit your 1st sentence made me move on and ignore the rest of the post immediately. I have now re-read it based on the discourse in that chat but your post does come across as arrogant and tetchy. Midway through your post you basically call anyone in this forum section looking or recruiting for players as bad players and that you are 'gracing less well known clans with your presence'. Might be true, it might not (again, I don't know) but it doesn't put you and your friends in the best light. Either way, good luck with the search and I hope the clan situation works itself out for the best for all of the folks and you guys get some personal time back as the last thing you need with all that is going on in the world at the moment is more stress. Good luck for the next steps.

You would be welcome with us crafty. Loved playing with you last night when you sank the presidential candidate for the 2024 elections. Will message you in game too.

Hi Folks, We at the [ABR] clan (Ambitious but rubbish) clan are looking for some members to join us to help build the clan out and compete in clan battles. The core of us are looking for like-minded individuals who are in the game for some fun but also want to be somewhat competitive (maybe Storm league :). If you are looking to be the best of the best and get really wound up about the game then we are not the clan for you but if you are looking to improve your skills in a good and friendly environment then we could be the clan. We are from the UK, Denmark, Switzerland and Finland in the main and are late 30s to late 40s in age. We are looking for: Players with PRs above 850 Win/loss ratios of better than 50% Players focused mainly on Ranked, Clan and Random battles (a large amount of Co-op battles will not count in your favour). Discord and microphone is a MUST. PM me if interested in applying. Jack.

Looking for some additional players. We are in the struggle for promotion out of storm league and looking to go higher.

If you have any apple device bought within the last year and registered to an itunes account you can create an account on Apple TV+ with your itunes details and you should get a period of free membership. I just got 12 months on the UK store. I think you can get 7 free days anyway. Try registering and see if it works. Its a good film. Not brilliant but good.

Found it, ignore the request. Ta.

To an extent but buying the ship and being able to use it are two different things and no amount of money can buy that so the competitive players will still have the score/game and other advantages including being able to blap a whale that doesn't know how to use their ship. That bit is still fun if you are a competitive player and is unlikely to get old anytime soon.

IS there a link to those directives? Can you post it?

Use the english word EON (denoting a long period of time) as the correct way to pronounce it, so 'BAGRATEON' is the way. The name comes from the famous Russian Military general who served in the Napoleonic wars and was a subordinate of Marshal Suvorov. I did smile when I saw Flamu's video and he has the humility to realise it, which many other CCs dont...

The Duke of York needed taking down a peg or two after the whole 'Pizza Express Woking' thing (joke). In all seriousness, i agree with you. I play Sinop a lot at the moment (to try and get back to rank 7) and I can blap a DOY in two salvos, its a shame.

Wouldn't be too loud about that if i were you :)

No, the aerial bombs will do damage earlier AND later than the point they hit the target....

You HAVE been rewarded. You get to see offers in the premium shop one click less than you did before. Stop complaining :D

Welcome, wargaming welcomes your wallet. Ahem, you.

You care enough to post :D. If you didn't you would be gone!

Interesting feedback and a lot of hate which is a shame. I have only played about 4 or 5 games in submarine mode but it does show some interesting things: The Pros: I play DD a LOT and I LOVE hunting subs. Its fun and a good captain shows he can already pop up at the right moment and torp which doesn't make it too easy if you are fighting an intelligent adversary. Love the depth charges but more ships, including all cruisers need to have them as when the DDs are gone (comes to my 'Cons' section) the game descends into ABSOLUTE BOREDOM). The Cons: Would be good to get more effects from the depth charges. You just have a small spray and almost no noise. The real things create huge columns and you hear a big boom/whoosh. Everything now depends on the DD class even more than before. I have to spot, cap, torp, sink subs, dodge radar as well as trying to avoid CVs. Any more you can pile on this class with low health and poor defences? I am also still trying to figure it out but a sub seems to still be able to spot me in smoke (not sure on this). Once all DDs are gone the game becomes pointless. In 3 of the games I have played it has ended up with the CVs having to cap the enemy base on their own as the last ship left which is just poor and REALLY BORING. If 60% of the games end up like that then I can see people losing interest quickly. Overall, I like the mode and I really appreciate Wargaming's efforts to keep new things coming in, its great to see. I just worry about my favourite playing class as it is getting harder and harder (and demotivating) to play it. The only reason you survive so long at T6 is there are lots of bots in the game and less experienced players. If it were a higher tier the DDs would all be gone in the first 3 minutes EVERY game. Keep playing with the formula Wargaming I hope you get it right. What you absolutely need to do is sort out ranked, Its a toxic pile of cr*p. Its the worst ranked season I have ever played and it has single-handedly taken all my enjoyment out of the game to the point where I am close to needing to take a few months off just to calm down. Its terrible.

Beginning to ask the same question in that your skills find the natural rank you should stay at. I got to within a hairs breadth of rank 6 bunk now down at 10 again. Sometimes its other other team members, often its my mistakes in either pushing or making a mistake, other times its just the game. Try not to get too stressed, that's all :)

Sounds like something Lance Armstrong would say to justify his years of cheating generally poor behaviour.

...as long as you mean the Caine version as opposed to the Stallone one :). Yes, true. Its just annoying that belfast just makes it X amount harder and you can work your arse off and get nothing and it feels like you have hard to work 10 times as hard for the lack of outcome and you are getting penalised as you joined the game later than other who had the wonderful fortune to be able to get the ship.

If it was balanced it would still be available... Be grateful you have it when some of us don't and have to suffer radar that covers all 3 points in a stupidly shrunken map.

I am trying to display a sense of calm while posting but it is REALLY hard. My experiences so far.... 1. I am playing badly which leads to wins.... 2. I am playing really well (4 or 5 kills in a match as a DD) but the team finds an easy way to just throw the game. 3. There are players that don't seem to have a pulse much less 2 braincells to rub together and who certainly have no ideas on strategy plan or anything else like this. Why are they playing in this mode???? 4. This has absolutely NOTHING to do with your personal skill as you cannot guarantee to carry a team so it must be luck. 5. I have no idea what WG are trying to achieve here as if anything this is likely to make me take 2-3 months off this game just to calm down from the complete useless, pointless utter random stupidity of this whole approach. Fundamentally, I just don't understand what Wargaming is trying to do with this approach. The funniest thing is, I have not seen an Atlanta in the last 9 months in any random match ANYWHERE (and the same for the Belfast). NOT A SINGLE SHIP. They are in every bloody game game now and it makes me laugh that that one use of radar is enough to blap all the DDs and totally turn a game around because the maps are so stupidly stacked to have ALL the bloody caps within radar range of one ship. It is just daft.. Well done WG, you proved that radar is once again a game changer and 0 skill makes a difference. So what else have you learned... f*ck all. ** final thoughts*** one ship (belfast) turns a game with OP radar. Well done and lucky to those that managed to play the game and buy it whilst it was still available. To those unlucky b*stards (like me) who joined when it was not available) just learn to live with losing when a belfast is against you in a match.

They went a while ago when they were preparing to put them in the research bureau. I never got it when I got my Moskva ages ago. I know its not the same but you can still get it for research points in the bureau. That's the only way I know how to get it. Good luck with it.
