The longer the travel time of a torpedo the more time the target has to evade. The more time they have the more reasons they will have to turn because there is a battle going on. Try launching at 6 km and you will have a much higher hit rate.

 

I think you're mus-understanding me (English is a second, third+ language for you? - this is a very International game after all) - it is not  a case I've launched them from a distance then the target turns and manages to avoid them by luck - has happened to me enough in the past.  This is as soon as I launch they turn, each time.

Smarter players tend to know when a dd has fired torpedoes by looking at the number of ships targeting them.

Everybody knows that hunting ghosts is a useless hobby.
Things are so simple. LAW SUITS to forums and developers that mess up the game with illegal mods.
Thats what a trustwortthy company would do.
All the hack creators have sites,promos even forums. IT IS SO EASY TO HIT THE CANCER ON THE ROOT.
If a company wants to of course.
Because at the other hand there is a minimum of 10% using illegal mods which losing them from players database will affect the company sales. 
(People who pay for hacks usually pay for in game goodies also since they can afford it).
The whole punishment system starting from Karma and reports are completely useless and offer nothing to the players.
They use it as a placebo to make you think you are doing something and that somebody watches this. Guess what ? NOONE DOES.
Hacks in general game creators hunt them from start and not just updating the policies after 5 years of anyone who wants running freely illegal mods.
So what will happen ? Maybe they found a way to detect the current hacks like 2018.
Everyone using them will just get a warning (parody) wait for sometime until the hackers will publish new undetectable hacks and they will start using them again since there is no real penalty.
We have seen this "comedy movie" again.

You missed a previous reply as that was about the 3rd response to his response.  I always leave my DDs on torps unless I'm about to engage another DD, am about to finish off another ship, else I'm screwed and about to die anyhow ;)

Well, that settles it. It must be hacks then, i mean...The dude clearly hacked his game so it now shows the smoke as going the wrong way so people can't hit him. It can only be hacks.

How do you "unintentionally" install mods ? You don't. First violation should give a 3 day ban or at least orange-level teamkiller status. 

 

Also WG has enough money to track and sue the snot out of the biggest illegal mod makers, but chooses not to...

Unless they have RPF, they still won't know where the torps will come from when fired by a unspotted dd.

Cosmetic changes should not be a problem but anything that for example adds a predictive marker is just plain cheating.  I've been playing games on the PC since a pentium 2 processor (I was once the less than proud ower of a ZX81 I'll have you know) and mods have been a god send for gamers.  Every game I have played has been enhanced by mods in fact some of the big name games have been positively saved by it - RTW2 anyone?.  Theres a lot of creativity and talent out there that produces some great mods that dont cross the line.  I applaud WG's efforts to police this minefield  of a subject but for them it makes business sense to.  Would you come to a game that is renowned for being cheater heavy or OP dominated.  If any of you play WOT could you imagine starting off fresh right now and maintaining an interest as the ubertanks once again flatten you or some guy one shots you with an amazing long range shot. 

 

I like the three strike rule - its a good approach for cheating.  Remains to be seen if WG will practice it with paying punters.

A few days ago a guy got killed then complained in chat that he had forgot to re-enable his mod after the last update that told him when someone had torped him. Does this mod really exist and is it banned? If not why not...

to make WoW really honest.... ban ALL the MODs, Aslains included, than we are talking about fair play for everyone.

 

 

Hellas, free weekend beer to all WoWs players :) 

Does the first post need to be discrediting the most enthusiastic community mod supporter of the game ?

 

It would be nice to hear how the removal of WG approved mods and mod packs makes the game fairer and WG more honest, as mentioned  in the post ?

WG supports mod rule conform graphic and sound modifications and additions - Which very often are visual graphic, sound changes or graphical redesigns of the games user interface and game information.

 

It is like swapping the dash board of a car and presenting vanilla visual and sounds in a different way to the user with a new designed dashboard, where the mod installer decides if he likes the mods representation of ingame data.

 

For new players I can recommend WG approved score time mods. Timer mods, which show that the game is over in x time, showing the remaining game time green team and the remaining game time red team... if your team does not capture more zones and gets moving now. Sure, not having a score timer mod installed ( timer mods can have large bold colored fonts displayed in green/red color as example ) could mean that the player does not get aware that the battlefield dodeling will suddenly end in x seconds, if team green continues to camp around or does not sink red ships at a faster rate. 

 

Hopefully even more game info graphics from approved mods make its transition in to the base game.

 

The funniest thing at Crytek was when the EA producer showed me his Corvette HUD camera photo and said "I want it like that in Crysis

 

Happy WoWs everyone, wishing all a nice weekend.

Be clever, understand the game and what the game mechanics are. Bang!

 

Great work @Aslain

Your WoWs work is gold!

 

Even more funny sound mods would be great.

All ship speech lines in a slurry and drunk fashion would be superb :D

I have to say, there are a lot of players who do not know the difference between a ligit MOD and an Illegal BOT. 

This was obvious when I got abuse because I was using Modstation and that is all i have ever used since starting. This is because the standard set up does cause me problems with seeing some things correctly and my ability to target better. 

These are almost all just a Visual thing and do not make me a better player. 

 

Those who cheat using illegal Bots or unsanctioned Mods to gain advantage are only fooling themselves as they are not actually willing they the cheat is winning for them. 

 

I just want a game where the morons who abuse other players are dealt with more seriously and given 2 chances only and then booted out of the game. This can be done if they just ban those doing this if they are provided with solid evidence of a serious offence.
