Yes, you can finished them also in Submarine battle, but also in other mentioned game modes.

You are correct, as well as others, who mentioned CVs. But in the same logic, DDs are mostly dealing damage without being spotted, with torps and also main guns. The same can apply to some cruisers.

But the interaction between CVs and other class is different, before it was different and also in real life it was different. Here we speak about the interaction of the main feature of CVs - their squadrons, as their main armament and other ships. For balancing reasons it makes sense to be spotted when you open fire with main or auxiliary guns. Of course smoke screen is still working the same.

Personally I would agree, that concealment of CVs should be much worse, then it is now. They are superhuge ships, so for me, they shouldn't be invisible on open waters.

Agreed.

 

Btw does anyone know the rewards for the upcoming ranked season?

well, you know, I play CV. You know which DD`s(just like any other ship) are easy to kill? Lone wolves. If a CV focuses on you you have to go back into close proximity of other allies for AA support. When that CV doesnt focus on you anymore go back to the frontline.

 

Sub update, yes finally! Let`s see if it works on the real server.

Consumable update, very nice. Less PTW.

I've only played the tier 4 CVs but hope to have the Furious very soon.

The only CV I have played is Hermes which is regarded to be the *worst* of all tier 4 CVs and even in that I had no trouble killing DDs that are grouped with allies.

 

I play CVs because I enjoy their armaments and just like the class but they definitely need changes, AA should be more consistent not just tiny DPS and easy-to-dodge flak, and/or their spotting should be changed to minimap only..

Has anyone played the Bagration yet?? I wouldn't mind a bit of feed back I don't want to  up again and buy another Sack of Sh!te like the Cheshire Thank's

I don't know if they have changed it since this video is from Work In Progress but this may help you: 

 

tbh the bias is getting blatant in this game now. Still pumping out fantasy OP soviet ships when there could be much more interesting additions to the game.. ya know, ships that umm existed?!

[Tall_Toot]

The frustration is I have to upload the update, which takes time, which eats into the remaining two weeks I have left playing WOWS.

 

Because after the 27th, and the implementation of submarines,  it's SWTOR and Elite for me I'm afraid.

Could we make National+ the default voice option going forward; and could we get National+ fixed in replays, as it has a legacy bug from older clients where it replaces unique commanders with the default voice (so my AL commanders all speak like pirates in my replays, despite working as intended in the main client).

 

Yeah.. like Cap, for instance. While he is very good for the comedy effect, it gets a little annoying when you realize his been cloned for almost all your team mates' ships... and some of them aren't even RN ships....

So you admit that the ship itself is pointless?

Please play all tiers first bevor suggesting such general changes.  T4 CV balance is broken since the buff for T4 CVs while the AA stayed almost non-existing at that Tier. However that doesn’t apply to the rest of the game

No, I don't admit that. The CV itself is not pointless at all. It has different interaction than other classes, but still you need to manage your ship while focusing on flying. Also CVs themselves can damage enemies, as you know for sure.

The point still stands, CVs need changes.

The Armory states that completing all challenges for the 3 Russian premium ships will bring up to 2100 Soviet Tokens. Ingame i only see missions for 7*30 + 7*30 + 7*15 = 525 Tokens. Will theses missions renewed weekly?

Hi Captain, 

Yes, other missions are going to be available each week for a total of 2100 Soviet Tokens. Later today you should also find a dedicated article on our portal about the Combat Missions. 😊

 

Stay safe!

Da, real life it was different with VMF Kremlin leading the soviet fleet to lift the siege of leningrad in 1944! 

 

And just like real life, CVs were fast, stealthy ships that could not be set on fire or flooding, could launch planes with deck fires, had infinite planes and were immune to detonation 

 

Were those homing torps that ignore torpedo protection also real life? lol come on dude, WoWS makes too many compromises with reality and historical accuracy at this point.

lmao are you implying T10 CVs are not broken? Or T8 CV vs T6?

I'm afraid those compromises are also very selective in their application, Nations that had Modern Powerful Fleets end up with reality applied with a Hammer whilst out dated conglomerations of of  rust end up depicted as Starfleet,

HI, I dont really know where I should post this so here seems as good a place as any, as it regards the new Soviet Event.

In the Test Server, a few weeks back the same Event was introduced. But for whatever reason, as many have pointed out over in the Test Community threads, the appropriate Armory tab that goes along with it wasnt there.
Despite that, I as many others, did complete the entire Soviet event there and gathered some 50+ containers. These gave only soviet tokens, but since the Armory tag was missing, the tokens werent displayed either. 
This meant you couldnt keep track of them and they were also basically pointless as you couldnt use them. With that in mind I, again as many others, decided NOT to open my containers, fearing that the tokens would simply be lost and all my efforts would be in vain.
 

With the Update now live, I see no benefits from the PT server and I am once again required to complete the Soviet Event. Again. 
So my question is: Was all the grinding and fighting and the hours I spent on PT for nothing? 

Any response from stuff or anyone really will be gladly appreciated. 

Below is proof that I, in fact, earned the amount of containers I claim:
 

[ChObAm]

Submarines and more  over powered  imaginary russian crap

 

More reasons to uninstall

 

Yeah  sure  Avalon hill made games that were stacked  with American Bias  in the 70's and 80's but man they can't even see your dust let alone eat it.

Well there is some hope... I remember it being stated that during WW2 the Soviet submarine fleet excelled in managing to lose more tonnage in terms of their own subs than what they sunk.

[gabberworld]

 

subs are only limited time in separate mode, what is this wining atm?

[ItsJustAFleshWound]

How many soviet tokens are available for free? I only get like 5 of them per soviet container.

Minimum is 300 IF you get all the containers (54 from directives and 6 from daily shipments)
assuming you get 5 per container only

Range is between 300 and 18000 (Unlikely as all would have to be the 300 token box but its the theoretical max from the 60 containers)

UPDATE
Few other sources of tokens that are free
another 7 containers are available from Twitch missions (35 Minimum to 2100 Maximum)
A total of 50 tokens are available via buttons in various news articles on the main web page (Any article from May 11th could have the buttons in) [As of May 15th there are 4 live with 6 more to come]
Technically the Mikoyan mission that is repeatable 7 times each week (each completion gives 15 Tokens for a Total of 105). IF you get the directives done ASAP then you can catch the last set of this mission and nab an extra 105
SO assuming the worst possible luck but doing it all ASAP you can get a total of 490 Tokens without spending anything whatsoever.
And best possible amount without spending anything is a total of 20570 Tokens 
IF SPENDING MONEY
For 11300 Dubloons you can get the Ochakov, or the Pyotr Bagration (22600 for both ships assuming the basic version of the ship)
Each provides another mission set that ultimately results in 840 Tokens Per ship for an additional total of 1680


So to summarize all the math
Assuming you do every mission/directive/button find as soon as it is available
FOR FREE
Minimum of 490 Tokens
Maximum of 20570 Tokens

Spending 11300 Dubloons (Either Ochakov OR Pyotr Bagration)
Minimum of 1130 Tokens
Maximum of 21410 Tokens

Spending 22600 Dubloons (Buying both Ochakov and Bagration)
Minimum of 1970 Tokens
Maximum of 22250 Tokens

To get all the armoury bundles costs 2850 Tokens so even spending 22.6k dubloons does not guarantee being able to get all the bundles

Public test server has no bearing on live server.

 

Btw, one of the really good changes was the Coop fix with more points to start with. Seemingly most (if not all) Coop battles are now ending only with all bot ships sunk, not with bot team getting zeroed 3 minutes in.

Congratulations on earning 52 containers in PTS. Here are your fireworks: 🎆🎇I'm not sure why you would be worried about losing your tokens on PTS. As you said, there was nothing to spend them on. You can get your reward for doing the PTS missions by going to the userbonus page.
