Thank-you good forumites for reinforcing my belief (correct, as it appears to be) to not participate in this particular event/mission/ sale/scam (whatever you want to call it)

Some of us can see right through your contradiction. If you really thought WG would mess it up 9 times out of 10 you'd have voted 1 or 2. Instead, you voted 9 which implies you support the 'mess' (as you term it so accurately).

The same as ever - quitting play right after a blatant WG MM &/or RNG CHEAT battle.

The level of 'trust' I have in WoWS expired and fell into a coffin when the CV farce rework happened. Ever since then, it's been more nails into the lid of said coffin. Sure, I will continue to F2P. Spend money? Not a chance while the farce CV rework continues to ruin the game.

Anything named 'Congress' appears to be close to 'dysfunctional'

Are 'RONS' a new crypto-currency? No thanks, not willing to gamble on some software driven fluctuating value (whatever it is/was supposed to be).

I'm using the tokens to obtain as many of the Du camo as I can. I require the Cpt exp bonus camos & some of the newer signal flag bonuses (for any remaining tokens). I will keep the Gelderland Cruiser as my token Du ship

I do not use that many of the permanent camoflages that I have. There are many ways to get single use camoflages that have more useful bonuses. Why would anyone want to buy all sorts of less useful permanent camoflages?

It was more like 80 battles (approximately) which included two sessions of 8 losses, one of which was 8 losses in a row. Ofc, I never saw any 8 wins in a row. As is the case with random battles, ranked MM & RNG is a sick joke.

You are not alone, OP, a lot of players are completely dissatisfied with where WoWS has headed. It certainly isn't on the course I would have chosen.

I did get that reward flag. It will fly on just one of my Ger ships. Was it worth the frustration to obtain it? NO.

Unfortunately, in many players opinions, WoWS has decided to go in an 'alternate' direction than from the earlier CV play, the earlier Cpt skills & now including Subs. My opinion is the CV rework was entirely WRONG & the Cpt skill rework was also wrong. As to Subs - like CVs you have to have them in the game - whether WoWS will do them 'right' is another discussion.

This description may be a leftover from RTS times where CVs could fight one another ... maybe just another missed clean up of things WoWS Devs should have worked on (but then we know WoWS management has other priorities)

If these suggestions for new ships are going to be low tier ones, I doubt WG will provide them - isn't the whole thrust of their marketing now towards high tier ships? Personally, I'd like to see many more nations ships in WoWS but most would have to be low to mid tier (at best). How many of these ships could be 'monetized'? Who would buy them?

I'd like to know about any freebie 'code' word(s) & where to keep track of same

This is not a clock. It is a device (pendulum-like) that measures if the weights in a ship hull are balanced so the ship floats on an even keel (& especially not leaning to either side which could cause a capsize). These devices are mounted on the centre-line of a ship & normally inside the hull somewhere - they are not normally outside exposed to the elements (trust landlubbers from Russia to get this detail wrong). The modellers did not even have to include this detail - it's rather unnecessary considering (but it is a nice touch - so long as the 'clock' arm is from the centre to the 6 o'clock position (it's a 'pendulum') .

I'm just waiting for the full release of the Du Cruiser line. I prefer playing actual historical ships rather than fantasy blueprint ones (as much as I am able to avoid this, that is). I've already decided to avoid the mid to high tier Du Cruisers who all appear to be from the posted observations so far, to be 'meh' and the 'air-strike' = gimmicky failure. I got a free 3 pt Du Cpt which I will place on the T2 Gelderland when that becomes available. Other than having to see 'Bots' some of the T2 ships are still fun to play. Du Cruisers seem to me to be a 'minor navy' tech tree line. Why are they even here (at this time)?

No, WoWS, I didn't miss any of your Top News Releases. How can I with your red dot numbers continually appearing on my port screen? Personally, I don't require a reminder to read your 10.6 News Releases. I read them all. Fyi, few, if any of them, interest me. What would interest me are the following News Release Topics; 1) News about an Ita DD tech tree line. 2) News about an EU Cruiser tech tree line. 3) News about a Commonwealth Cruiser and/or DD tech tree line. 4) News about any partial South American BB or Cruiser tech tree lines. 5) News about a Clan Emblem on a ship 's Funnel or better yet, a dedicated Clan Flag Slot. (I'd even spend money for that!) 6) News about the return of the older (original) Captain Skill Table & my fantasy wish, 7) News about the Full Return of the RTS CVs (including the odd tier CVs, of course) These are the News Releases that will 'interest' me (and some others, I am sure)

Persevering on the last day of 3rd Ranked season to obtain Bronze Rank 1. I did want that commemorative Ger flag.

So no infitesimally lucky drop from a once in a blue moon SC? ..... figures ..... will I ever give WG money for any remote chance for these ships on a 'gamble' box? No.

.... just .... pure luck? .....

Imho, this game is dying if you consider how many players who like a good historical ship game have left are or not playing much or have closed their wallet, especially the older original players of WoWS. I doubt many of them., if they were to return, would like the changes to WoWs since the great CV rework farce and pretty much everything introduced since. Will WoWS die? Maybe ..... eventually? It is clear (to me & others) the WoWS Management is simply getting their golden goose to lay as many golden eggs as possible before said goose expires.

& I thought there was only 1 great arguer here on the forums .......

I 100% agree with this sentiment. I 100% agree with this sentiment. In fact, I think your two posts, Bellegar, are worth repeating (so I did).

Yes, a lot of players 'still here' do like playing with their ships they have.
