[D3LTA] Lacomble1942 Players 188 posts Report post #1 Posted November 4, 2018 Please do something about conclement. To often ships pop up like flashing lights. Dont show me a Yamato at 30k and hide a kurfust at 10k, Dont show me ships behind a Island other than on the map. Show spotted ships on the map fine. And why o why do T8 ships Always fight against T9 and T10 is it realy only because ot the campains? Fights again axis and allies would be nice also . At the moment i feel its just about earning $. 4 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[M-P-M] Migantium_Mashum Players 3,146 posts 19,218 battles Report post #4 Posted November 4, 2018 I have the Grosser Kurfurst... How do you get it to 10km detection? Even with CE, if you use it, it only goes down to about 13.5km... please explain? T8 ships have always played with T10... How do you expect to advance unless you learn the capabilities of the ships you will face at the higher tiers... Stop complaining and learn as everyone else has had to do.

I dont think you can say that it works great and realistic It works in a consistent way and it's easy to understand (unlike you using there to indicate of them). The system isn't perfect with battleships having the same duration gun bloom as destroyers with guns 1/3rd to 1/4 the size and it's not very realistic, but the game isn't a simulator, it's a game.

Fights again axis and allies would be nice also . Because the T10 ships need something to shoot who cant respond with same amount of firepower, caliber or range. Also T8s are need to take caps so the T10 dont even have to move from spawn. This is the lesson WG and others want you to learn, "Tier 10, the art of Passive gameplay". 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[D3LTA] Lacomble1942 Players 188 posts Report post #11 Posted November 4, 2018 so just two tier 8's in a battle with for the rest Tier 9's and Tier 10's . Its the art of [edited]up a game. Its just well thought over how to make money. Why only campains with T8 , 9, and 10"s ? 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you are at a high enough tier then they might (rarely) have taken the Target Acquisition module rather than concealment and have a 3km proximity spotting range rather than 2km. They mentioned in the How it Works videos that line of sight works from the masthead of ships, so if you are a low ship and they are a taller one then they might see over the island sooner as the land slopes down. Also there might be a rendering delay, though they've tried to fix that, so you appeared for them sooner despite you both having technically spotted each other at the same time. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry, but you can do that yourself... The whole point of a community forum is to ask questions and garner advice from more experienced users in a quick and reliable fashion. So i fail to see why you get so critical for using the forum as it is suggested to use. I mean two other users were able to do that. Why can't you? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't mind them and keep on asking politely and we'll keep answering or in the more complex situations refer you to a page/site that deals with the question guilty as charged, hopefully "just" came off as grumpy... sorry about that :) oh and @CptBarney slight advice from a forum veteran: saying things like Quote is this something hardware or software related or somekind of on going issue? will likely reduce the average quality of the answers you get by a good 50% (I know it did for mine...) because that makes you kinda sound like you blame the game/bugs for what's happening as opposed to asking an open-minded question. Whether that's your intention or not is hard to tell from the get-go (only became clear in the follow-up that it wasnt). And we've had way too many individuals in the past that were agressively crying about some sort of bug or even hack when the issue really was just their own lack of knowledge - hence why I'm more thin-skinned on that particular front than I really should be. That's of course not an excuse for me being grumpy, just a bit of context for you :) Keep asking questions, and as Gleb said just ignore the less-helpful answers as best you can - if your attitude in asking them stays as it was in here, you'll also get the good and helpful answers you deserve 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
