Awaiting a resurgence of 899 divs ...

I noticed the new news article in game that must have happened sometime this afternoon. But, yeah I can imagine a lot of wanna-be whales going

That's one for Halloween - the Zombie Conq. It could even have @rage1750's forum avatar for the commander.

And then "everyone enjoyed combating subs because they pressed G so much"

Just about the say the same myself. Removing pings & torp homing against surface ships would restore this line of ship's uniqueness. I'd restrict homing torps purely for sub vs sub combat where unguided torps would be next to useless.

Only mystery I had when scoring a det was when I nuked, what I thought, was a full health Prinz Eugen with my Riga. Solved when I watched the replay in slo-mo :- I noticed that the GK that was with me took a ~11k chunk out of it a fraction of a second before my 1 or 2 HE shells hit. That brought the Prinz under the 75% health threshold and therefore eligible for detonations to occur. RNG smiled on me and BOOM!

I was just in a co-op match with a Republique complaining about 4 DDs in the teams. I was in Mogador So Admiral's post seemed quite funny ... at the time.

BBs complaining there aren't enough DDs in a match? This is new. But, yeah I suspect anyone would rather DDs be there instead of subs.

Dutchy said it was the most powerful, he didn't say it was good nor even adequate. Compared to a BB, every other surface ship's ASW weapons are a joke, and not a good one at that. Given the grief a sub can inflict on a BB, how do you think other classes will endure?

Slightly off topic question : Does anyone know if picking up a buff results in an contribution to your XP score? Eg, like scoring defended ribbons or capturing a zone would in epicentre.

Fix #1 : Bring back team damage Fix #2 : Make all CVs effectively on the same team as all subs Fix #3 : Reflected damage

Logic? WG?

Co-op or randoms? But yeah, the release of subs, especially high tier ones, to less experienced players is deffo a factor.

Enhancement request after seeing, mainly at mid-tiers, players attacking visible** surface ships with ASW airstrikes. Add "X IMPOSSIBLE TO TARGET" to a surface ship's icon when using the ASW Airstrike reticule. I've even been asked in chat if the ASW airstrikes damage surface ships. ** There is the valid use-case of narrowing down the location of a ship hidden in smoke with ASW planes. If they've forgot to turn of their AA guns you can use the AA tracers to get an idea where they are. But it seems, probably newer, players don't know ASW only works against subs.

I always have to double check when he spots a "submarine" though. Is it an actual sub? Or is it Jingles just being crap? Again.

It's a pity the missions don't offer a choice of reward : rental ship or coal I'd go for the coal every time

E-mail notification and/or a forum banner notification (like the ones for server downtime) would have been nice.

That would be hilarious given some of the bots & potatoes you see sailing Pommerns in co-op - WG would have to make some of the bot's AI worse. There's a couple of them that regularly struggle to reach three-digit base XP.

Before WG made the announcement I thought any new French cruisers might have been turbo CLs to match their destroyers. Imagine a higher tier Émile Bertin with engine boost and a main battery reload booster. For giggles, put Philippe Auboyneau at the helm and proc his Surge Forward talent ... if you survive the incoming fire of course.

I think it just means the limit for that specific bonus code has been reached - ie, you redeemed RUSTYSHIP earlier. That one has been around a while, so you could well have forgotten you have already used it.

Now that the hull has been launched, has anyone else noticed that Atlantico has 5 barbettes, each turret has two guns but there's only 9 barrels on dock side? Bit of a necro, but NVM.

That kinda "just happened" as I was backing up the New Orleans that pushed very hard towards the spawn points at the edge of the map. I'm normally not that brave in a CL. I even got +1 karma out of it - probably from the New Orleans.

Or, in my case, being old and knackered

*Spots the 12 torpedo hits* - you're driving it like Weimar though.

Or, be the Weimar. Had two in Narai early this morning, both went for the CV. One savaged the bots and got over 1900 baseXP, the other ... was near the bottom. I was in Fiji and wasn't much further up the table. At the time I thought of this thread and an angry @wot_2016_gunner
