Here is another article about the British Destroyer Collection if you are interested.

I'm not sure to understand damages from BBs to DDs will be nerfed right ? 

...

[Cosmin_Lascu]

1. to see the crew (people) on the ships would be very cool.
2. Recalibrate the islands, be more realistic. would be slightly larger.
3. introducing crew with skill.
4. lower prices for premium ships, so we can buy ourselves as poor ones :)
5. hf and gg

Only AP, they want us to use HE as intended.

Speaking about collectors club in video- well, it must be too much work for WG to treat everyone on equal therms, also removing this content from video for EU server is too much work...

Shame...

[NoSoRetroJakko]

Just saw that Vanguard and Dreadnought have been released, with no way of buying Dreadnought on its own, as someone who doesn't want to buy Vanguard this feels like and *edited* being expected to pay for it.

Is'nt that on PTS only actually ?

[Stronginthearms]

why but Dreadnought when you can win it next month?  Also the Dreadnought was not a sub class WOWs teach your sales team naval History there is a reason why we have Pre-Dreadnought, Dreadnoughts and Super Dreadnoughts, HMS DREADNOUGHT was the 1st, of course it was not built or thought up by Russia so you dont have to get facts right

[Cosmin_Lascu]

I would like to hear, as the captain gives orders. to hear how do officers order the sub-officers. to talk as much as possible.

[Killroy67]

Is it realy become time to pick up this game and throw it out of the window? Why  99% of the time see just 2 our 3 T8 battleships in Random battle and the rest T10 battle ships with T9 cruisers and DDs? Because of your campains you have for us. And the fact that the hight Tiers generate more money??

 

Well keep up spoiling the fun with your wunderfull MM while you think you are doing a great job.

 

Thats all

[nurtacmc]

WG ok good but fınısh to hallowen(look at callender) and open new arc or other somethıng

[L_L_I_B]

Please can you stop the pathetic matchmaking? It's ruining the game and ruining your business.

The collector's club was initially a regional initiative that is now being rolled out to all players globally, one of the reasons for suspending it in the first place (besides workload) was to make it equal for all of the players.

[Lord_Kazuki]

The only question is when?

 

IJN buff is long overdue after WG introduced so many failytale ships — ranging from soviet fakes to French paper ships, especially Ridiculique BB and Hungry Fork CA.

@MrConway

 

I have following questions regarding the patch:

 

1) The news regarding patch 0.7.11 shows following values for the Collection Camo

 

Spoiler

Camo bonuses:

• –3% to your ship's detectability range by sea
• +4% to dispersion of shells fired by enemies attacking your ship
• –10% to the cost of your ship's post-battle service
• +20% credits earned per battle
• +100% XP per battle

 

If you click on the "Take a closer look at the....." link you see following values

 

Spoiler

Camouflage features:

• –10% to the cost of the ship's post-battle service
• +50% XP earned per battle
• –3% to detectability range by sea
• +4% to dispersion of shells fired by enemies attacking your ship

 

Which one is correct?

 

2) I've already bought a perma camo for my Lightning - Will I have the option to get back my doubloons as I will never use my bought camo once I've gotten the Collector Camo again?

 

3) The ships removed from the tech tree which can be bought by doubloons, will they still be available in the premium shop?

 

4) Will we be able to turn off the replay recording function as a whole? (WoWs replays are not important to me to "wear off" my SSD)

 

Thanks for your answers!

I had to laugh here.

 

But I agree, I kinda like the minikraken 

I wish it would stay.

Apologies, we have fixed the values, the second one was correct.

 

To answer your questions:

2: No, already purchased premium camouflage cannot be returned.

3: As always, the shop offers should rotate and change regularly so I cannot guarantee that any ships will or will not be available.

4: You should be able to change a line in the .ini file to switch them off, but I honestly would leave them on. As replays are less than 5MB in size and there will only be 30 of them, they should have no impact at all on your SSD.

It's not about storage capacity - it's about I/O operations. Every read/write on a SSD is - on very high and basic level speaking - costing lifetime of the SSD.

Anyway, looking forward to check the config file!

 

Thanks for answering my questions!

Lidl is a meme - As Lidl is a German discounter which has the reputation to be cheap! (if they are cheap is questionable in these days...)

 

So "Lidl" is used as adjective if something is "cheap", "low quality", etc.

And that's the reason why it's called "Lidl Kraken" because it's "cheap" as you only need 4 kills! :)

 

To further extend it's very common and often used on Twitch - Not so good players are called "Lidl players", if the performance/gameplay is "meh" it's "Lidl gameplay", if a ship is not on par with others it's "Lidl", etc

I think you got the point. :)

[yahooooo]

TBH, I heard my first Lidl memes from Flamu. Questionable wether he's the real origin.  :D

And it also sounds (in certain accents/levels of intoxication) like 'little' - as in 'little kraken'
