    try Carrier for first time get a unsportman

    Actually this does sound familiar. A few weeks ago someone else found it funny they had got an unsportsman/AFK when playing a carrier. He deliberately didn't do much, if any, damage as he was farming spotting damage for one of the missions.

    50Players in queue

    That image probably explains a lot. Not just the hamster, but also the expansion card underneath it that clearly isn't plugged into anything.

    Subs getting buffs - some quite massive

    I think some of the PvP crowd are rediscovering co-op. Yesterday, we had a guy in a Shimakaze asking if there were any humans at all on the red team or if they were only bots.

    Subs getting buffs - some quite massive

    Sadly, only a small fraction based on Naval combat though. WoWS has kinda cornered a niche market.

    World of Torpedos!?!?

    All that is missing is a BB shaped croûton on the right hand side.

    And this on top of the much worse visual effect for the sonar ping.
  8. My concern here is WG noticing all the torps that missed and concluding subs are too weak

    Super Container Loot Thread [ topics merged ]

    Thanks. I have both Shimakaze & Harugamo so I'm kinda spoilt for choice.
  10. Your report has been received Your report has been received No prizes for whom those referred to. And they "great" thing is, the sonar pings are going to be even harder to spot AND be inaccurate. No one can have too much RNG, right?

    I think I might have blagged most of the 15k coal SC's - had 4 in 8 days. Sorry guys However, all FreeXP contributions donated to the Hayate fund are greatly appreciated Super-ship mission SC

    First steel ship?

    He's a wise man who is hoarding is steel ready for when WG release T11 steel ships.

    Which expendable camos do you actually like visually?

    I tend to like the more subtle/realistic cammos. Type 59 Regia Marina Hunter European Dazzling Award (kinda looks like the dark blue the USN used in the Pacific) MGT-20 Battle Hardened Oddly enough I don't mind Post Apocalypse, even though it makes your ship look really rusty. Like @Shirakami_Kon, I doubt I'm going to spend anything (even silver) just to change the appearance of my ship if there's not going to be any practical benefit, IE no more XP/credit/detection/dispersion effects. But I also have no doubt there are going to be players that will.

    Easter Egg Hunt Results Round TWO

    Indeed. But no doubt WG's bean-counter general did some cost/benefit analysis and concluded that twice the work load would result in minimal functionality gain.

    [Results] Easter Egg Hunt

    My rewards have just dropped, so I guess everyone else's won't be far behind ...

    More than enough without coupon, in fact I'm not far off Neustrashimy. Edit: 4th 15k coal from the Easter Egg SC: Now I do have enough for Neustra No, this isn't the same image posted twice, note the XP required for my 2nd daily crate.

    First resource crate of the day. This is my 3rd 15k coal SC in just over a week WG really must want me to buy Yoshino.

    The WoWs Karma Memorial

    So is karma the currency that torpedo taxes are paid in?

    Has been gradually increasing over the past 21/2 years.

    Getting reported just for playing submarine?

    True, but that's also the same for PvP : sub on your team means there's a sub on the red team. Also, if I've never got in range of the sub and it sank before the last bot surface ship why should I care? The presence of a sub has had no impact on my game at all, so I have no reason to get upset about it.

    Screenshot co-op corner

    Le fantastic Fantasque - new personal damage record in this little French turbo DD. Knocked the stuffing out of the La Gall using AP + main battery reload booster = 20k (incl 8 citadel hits). Just missed out on kills of the Roma & Pobeda though I did kinda nick the one on the Rahmat.
  22. Cheers. That's quite a strong buff. I guess though it kind of would match the higher tier Pan Asian cruisers which have a TRB as well. I'm part way through Hsienyang, so I might hold back on that to see what it plays like with this improvement.
  23. Is this in an additional consumable slot? Ie Repair Party Smoke or Radar Engine Boost Torp Reload Booster or does it allow you to replace an existing consumable, eg Engine Boost, with TRB? Also, what is the boosted torp reload time?

    Getting reported just for playing submarine?

    The irony is strong with this one. To be fair though, reporting someone just because they're playing a sub is going too far if it had no negative effect on your game. Kinda understandable though if you're in a DD or CL and you've been pinged and torped and been able to do nothing about it. Even more understandable when the sub player's score is a fraction of everyone else's (note : I'm not saying this is case for the OP who may score well) Problem at the moment there is very little counter play against a submerged sub ... even for subs themselves now that the initial cooldown time for the hydrophone is waaay too long. So, by the time a sub player can go try and detect the bot sub, a co-op match is almost, if not actually, over. First match in a sub, when they were introduced last year, I was able to hunt down and sunk the two bot subs right at the start. No way you could do that now and one of the (many) reasons I refuse to play them now.
