Some new battle mode of 7 vs 7 players? What is this? Another RANK (as in 'stinking') battle mode? With Bot cargo ships? With CVs but no Subs? I thought April Fools Day was April 1st - not Sept 23?, 2021. As designed & advertised, I will be avoiding this new battle mode.

More ugliness = Not interested

LOL. Good one. +1

MM Balance. Where? When? What (balance)? Why (balance)? Who (with whom)?

Me neither.

It's not the Devs, it's the Management. They are the ones driving this (or should I say navigating directly towards the Iceberg)

FYI, this is a contest (announced on NA server today) to win a Transformers Commander if your 'Voice' submission is chosen. I imagine this contest will appear here in EU, as well.

Easy answer - exclusively due to the utter Greed of WG to the detriment of this game.

Players press the battle button, yes, but MM makes up the teams so WG can influence that. This is exactly where the 'arranging' begins. It continues with the hit resolutions in the battle.

I agree. WoWS (WG) has coded 'presets' for their MM. There is no doubt, imho, of that.

We can hope so somehow, Major1999. I plan to try to sink any CV I can get close enough to with any Sub I play.

If, by the (good) 'old days', you mean the state of the game pre-CV rework, I doubt it.

You got the Loser team(s), OP, that the wonderful MM so frequently barfs out to the one side (but, you note, not to the other side - that side plays smart). All due to the reliance on Camping & Sniping that many players engage in & the fact that many players also don't have the intelligence to contest caps (even when it's obvious they should be doing so).

ROFL. You can't, can you Pete? LOL So now you back out of your falsehood with your tail between your legs. LOL. Col Pete reputation for integrity = 0 ('zero'). ROFL

Point out these silver line ship players by name & profile screenshots then Bear__Necessities. You want to play the 70% solo WR card then show your proof - you said 'players' (that's plural) so show us & make sure they haven't bought even one premium - you say that too

Point it out, Sherlock

'We'? You & who else? Are you using the royal (pain in the rear) 'we', Pete? Another blanket statement from you, Pete, without any corroborating evidence - just your delusions. 'We'? ROFL

The only one who knows the code (for the MM) is WG. WG's so-called random MM is actually a patented code & they can say whatever they want about it (& they do). My take on WG random MM is the following; "Over here we have our random MM generator." "Green rated WoWS player, Green rated WoWS player, Green rated WoWS player, Green rated WoWS player, etc on the one team." Red rated WoWS player, Red rated WoWS player, Red rated WoWS player, Red rated woWS player, etc on the other team." "Are you sure that's random?" "That's the problem with WoWS randomness. You can never be sure."

What have I done? Why all this transformers/ masters of the universe/ robotech/ (even my little pony) stuff? ..... what have I unleashed? ...... AAAAAHHHHHH!!!!

FYI. I decided to check out what Flags were in WoWS. Wow! Was I surprised & so might you be. Do an internet search for WoWS Flags & you will find 'Flags - Wiki' and you will find flags, flags & more flags. A general synopsis of them are; Ranked Flags: 28 Various flags awarded for playing Ranked Battles. Promotional Flags: 190 Here you will find the infamous 'MMC' flag from NA & the remarkable 'King of the Sea' flag. Check them out, if you wish to. Special flags: 25 Here you will find the 'Alpha' flag & other bonus flags only available to WG employees, developers, super testers, moderators & some volunteers. Check these out, if you want to. Ship Flags: 176 Here you will find all the specific flags given out with purchasable premium ship bundles. Charity Flags: 5 For contributing to specific charity funding appeals. Total = 424 This is a large number of flags. A lot of Developer/Artist resources & time for something quite minor but at the same time very visually appealing. My comments: These Flags are a great mixture of very attractive, butt ugly, semi-historical or historical & pure fantasy designs. Check them all out, if you wish to. Also, if WoWS can make up all these Flags why not allow a Dedicated Clan Flag Slot for sale ? WoT & WoWP allow one to purchase a Clan Emblem patch. Surely, for a reasonable price for a Clan Flag Slot, WoWS could vet (supervise) & approve the submission of Clan Flag design proposals (to remove any inappropriate designs). PS the Cat Clan uses the Kitty Puurfect flag as their 'Clan Flag' already . Those sneaky felines >

I have just used the one Cpt for ea Sub if I play that Sub - the other Sub Cpts I just dismiss as soon as the 'new' Sub appears. This is not much of a problem. As to not having any port slots for these Subs, again, not much of a problem. Who doesn't have, at least, a few extra empty port slots for some Ships? Who is playing these mini-rental period Subs that much anyway? I'm betting very few are doing this Also, I already have a a few ship Cpts in reserve who have reset their Cpt skills to O skills for when WG makes Subs officially live in random battles.

TY, will do so , in future (Why TF can't WF just expand these permanently themselves, fer Fs sake!)

Only if you really have to have it & have no problem with forking over money to WG. (for me, I don't need it & I certainly will not spend money on WG products * considering what I think WG has ruined in WoWS) * I would buy a 'dedicated clan flag slot' if they ever offer 'that'.
