  1. and also It's bad for business. That guy isn't going to be spending money on reskilling his commanders nor will he be on anything else. Anyone else got Moskva perma-camo vibes?
  2. Yup, it would have been far better to have just not auto-assigned any skills at the time. If you happen to take an unskilled commander into battle, then the client just displays a warning (though it took WG a couple of patches to implement that) Then, dormant accounts, like the OP's wouldn't get a sub-optimal skill set that they have now and as a result have to pay hard cash to fix WG's mistake.

    Another "Scharnhorst saves the day" match, this time in Narai, which finally promoted Gunther Lutjens to 21pt - my 6th elite commander. Unusual line up of two destroyers, but good to see the Tarigo do well, which can't have been easy, so +1 to him and the Gorizia which nailed the carrier.

    Some new campaigns would be nice. Last one was Five Epochs which I thought was good as it encouraged you to try out tech tree lines (rewards at low tiers) that you may not have bothered with.

    The problem is that carriers are, quite rightly, seen as already getting a lot of preferential treatment when it comes to in-game mechanics. For example:- CVs can't be detonated or effectively set on fire/flooded/incapacitated but can do same to surface ships and invulnerability phases for aircraft, ineffective AA interaction, plane regen etc, etc. Asking for more CV-specific treatment probably came across as being quite entitled I'm afraid to say. So it is no surprise that such proposals have resulted in such a negative response. When considering such proposals, try to look beyond your own point of view. Why should any one class get specific events/missions/rewards over any other class? And, FWIW, when WG do introduce class specific missions they always include every type** including CVs as yedwy pointed out. So there's no anti-CV discrimination there as every type is treated equally. The one interesting point that this thread has raised though is that there has been very few (if any) events/missions that reward a premium CV. I suspect the reason for that is WG probably realize that such an event would itself be negatively received by the vast majority of the player base. Only way that could be achieved is if the mission rewarded a choice of ship classes from which you can pick one. ** Excluding WIP/test ships.
  6. I had some fun matches with Hannover in co-op, when it was a rental, with Lutjens on board who's got secondary skills for GK/Preussen. Had nearly 900 secondary hits in one match, would have been over 1000 but the last bot Satsuma ran off behind an island. But, to answer the poll I bought Annapolis just for the SC mission and any subsequent snowflake events. Though I might buy some more, nearer the time, depending on how generous those events are.

    First time getting the Natural Selection achievement in a battleship. Though sometimes it seems Scharny hasn't quite grown up and still thinks itself is a heavy cruiser. Props to the escorting Maass that hydro'd the Cambletown & Dallas hiding in smoke when you first enter the base. Shame I was running low on signals, would have been a good haul of points otherwise.

    Graphic component information

    Pro tip : please don't use coloured text - it makes posts really hard to read when using the alternate background: But, back on topic, I'd be surprised if an integrated graphics card would be sufficient for WoWs. It does have some very detailed models which will require decent hardware to render at a reasonable frame rate. For reference, here's the hardware specs from the WoWS Steam page

    Sadly, RTS CVs were phased out just before I started. But from what I've read on the forum over the past couple of years there seemed to be far better counter-measures to an aircraft carrier back then. You could even, apparently, build a fighter specced carrier to protect your team. Kinda of a shame that has been taken away, well aside from Bearn. Maybe strong fighter squadrons could be the feature of French tech tree carriers if they get introduced, would add some variety I guess.

    State of the (weekend) game

    I thought that was supposed to be subs?

    It must have, at least, crossed someone's mind at WG Though I'd love to see the resulting forum debates about the effectiveness of fighters and AA in that mode.

    [Results] Easter Egg Hunt

    A few days ago I checked the news article to see how many I had. For whatever technical reason, the web page failed to query the database where the total is kept, so the page showed Your Easter Eggs : ? Me: OK, no biggy. Waited a few seconds and refreshed the page Your Easter Eggs : 404 Me: That's either coincidence or a really bad I.T. nerd joke

    Didn't receive reward

    BaseXP is your score before any modifiers, such as premium account bonus, camo & signal bonuses are applied. I'm guessing your BaseXP is the 1579 value, as shown in the left hand, Without Premium, table. The table on the right has values that include the 65% premium account bonus, and thus no longer show the BaseXP value. To see your BaseXP use the TEAM SCORE tab.

    Hornet: Why I despise Discord.

    We've said it before: Don't give WG any new ideas. Though part of me would love to see a super-CV carpet bombed into oblivion.

    So that's why it's a freebie at the minute. Having said that, given how suicidal it is to try an DC a sub that could actually be a good thing.

    Only CV missions most players would want is "Score X shot down by fighter" ribbons.

    Shimakaze, Harugumo, Zao, Gearing, Grozovoi, Z-52, GK (when it was a tech ship) all have modules that require research, so it's not just T10 CVs. Plus all the surface ship lines need to be researched at every tier, so I'd say that is a small price to pay.

    Portal chips?

    https://worldofwarships.eu/en/news/sales-and-events/easter-egg-hunt/ They didn't rename the tokens in the game.

    General Submarines related discussions

    ... and almost 10x the baseXP of the sub on the other team. WG: yes subs are balanced as their average performance in this match was bang in the middle.

    Weser needs max +1 not +2 MM

    Just dodge?

    unique commanders and retraining ...

    It could have been WT or Jingles just being crap, again, in one of his YT vids.

    bit desperate ?

    Probably only a matter of time before our infamous Pommern potato starts botting in co-op with Hannover, waddya reckon @PeteEarthling ? Oh, wait. You actually have to hit something with Hannover's main guns to prime the combat instructions for the secondaries. Never mind.

    bit desperate ?

    Only reason I bought Annapolis was for the SC mission, and as @tocqueville8 pointed out, the inevitable snowflakes. In co-op the best I managed, without camo** but with the Zulu +20% credit signal, as to break even with a 1220 BaseXP result. She'll probably be yet another port queen. ** I have plenty of Zulu signals, but I'm not going to waste camos on a dead-end concept, for me, such as T11.
