Damn boy , I am very average player , but I find it fun to play smolensk and play against it , is a challange  and I see that you have 47%wr so yes I guess playing against such mighty ship is above you ability , I can only sugest you to play at lower tiers , you will have more fun there . :) cheers mate .

19km Smolly was broken OP , but dont worry , just take out the Thunderer with the new Dead Eye perk & you will get your free farming OP Tier 10 in a new shape and form. A finetuned BB with 8x 457mm gun & cruiser like accuracy.

Today I had battle on Thunderer in raked , my first battle today I got first blood & close quater expert , witherer , arsonist , hight caliber , but 5 achivement in one game is rare for me , like 2-3 times in month , and I dont hunt achivements it just happen , so getting 5 achivements is just for small % of unicum and some lucky bustards (me). 

So yeah I will WG would be more realistic with all those missions.

Same here, 1st battle of the day with Thunderer: High Cal, Confederate, 1st blood, Fire proof , Dread, and 2x dev strike, as long as someone score the 1st blood it is not that rare to get 5 achi or more. Just play some "balanced" ships like Kremlin, Thunderer, Ohio ... if you do decent a dread comes easy too, and all you have is 3 more to go which shoudl come naturally on a decent BB game ( probably a dev strike or 2 & the dmg related ones)

 

But yeah , if you dont have the biased powerhouses it comes quite hard.

Fun fakt ,   Fleet Admiral William Frederick Halsey Jr , have commanded 4 destroyers and one aircraft carrier and his special abilities "Grease the gears" & "Gun Feeder" are usless on destroyers of aircraft carriers , I think WG need to add special abilities , so every from 4 groups have 2 special abilities .

Yamamoto has the same issue, his skills pretty much only fit the Battleships, while he was mainly focused on the IJN Aircraftcarriers historically.

Just realised also I was 90% plus on the way to Strasbourg - all gone!!!!!!

 

There was never a time i.e. n days/hours to go - NOTHING

 

Thanks WG!

 

On that campaign actually there was a time limit. It was announced as timed one only for 0.9.12. It was confirmed as timed one on the official post for it and also on the campaign itself - it was showing how many days are left before its expiration. The other campaigns have none as they are permanent.

If you could actually spell challenge, I  may have taken you seriously.

and I didn't get any rigged Santa Container 

 

Anyone at EU got new snowflakes (coal, steel and Santa Crates)? It's suposed to give them but I don't see them at my game  I did see them in streamings from NA today 

 

 

 

Edit: Seems this is the prolongation of the Christmas rigged crates gifts. Was it so difficult (to someone with just a bit of brain, of course) to write "Until the end of update 0.10.0 you can continue getting the rewards of the Christmas snowflakes" or similar?

Hey WG Devs, i'm sure you won't read this ever since you are so out of touch with your playerbase and even your own game but let me try nonetheless.

 

So a single skill called Deadeye has totally broken any kind of teamplay that this game had. Now everyone is camping doing nothing the whole game making every match the same underwhelming bore fest. - especially at Tier 10 where ships like the OP Thunderer, Conqueror, Kremlin and Slava are camping next to the aircraft carrier and raining death from the other side of the map.

There is a very simple solution to this. Instead of rewarding camping reverse the effect of Deadeye meaning that instead of giving an accuracy boost for being outside of your detection radius you will give a boost for being inside your detection radius.

Please at least try it out on a Public Test Server or whatever but trust me this will fix the camping meta.

Give players incentive to push, being active in the match.

 

Thanks!

all captain skills are reset automatically? that makes it more convenient than WoT crapquipment 2.0 by far.

 

edit: ok, not all it seems ... lame

[300ConfirmedKills]

Is there going to be an mission for an Ox flag relating to LNY? If one has been announced, I haven't noticed it.

There's a button here that will be active until 2021-02-15 and will allow you to reset all of your commanders. It can only be used once.

Exactly, thank you for sharing this.

Not to mention A B Cunningham. 
But even on a wring ship, these Legendary commanders are able to use their skills at least. But the Jutland and the Dunkirk brothers literally mission killed. One of their key feature is the “consumable expert” skill to reload the ship consumables like spotter/fighter (little use at best), gun/torp reload booster (non of the brit/german ship have) and def AA (non existent or not useful again on brit/german ships).

Just doesn’t make any sense.

This part was pretty much a ctr , c ctr v job...

I am really "happy" too with the new skills.

 

Am a noob with bad SA, need Priority Target to know whats going on... now it is in the same braket with Last Stand.

So when I try to play DDs, I am either blind or potenttially dead in the water while all braket 1 skills are non essential to me. Ah, and Incoming Fire Alert is a bad replacement, 80% of the time I just overlook the pretty small red flash.

 

Also great: I have Jack Dunkirk as DD Commander. So I have to choose between his smoke screen perk called Consumable Enhancement, Priority Target and Last Stand. Wow. Same with Brit Light Cruisers. Priority Target is a must for survival for me, so I can't use the Consumable Enhancement.

 

And no, I don't have any 19 point Captains. My two best are at 18 points.With the new system it will propably take further months to max them out.

Nothing but frustration.

just like a very famous artist would say at the end of her consert. "and now ladies and gentlemen it is Time to Say Goodbay."

I somehow missed that. WG's posts and portal UI have become so unpleasant to read over the years that I can't focus my ADHD powers on their texts. Somehow, it's all *spam spam spam clickbait advertising spam spam welovechina spam spam giveusmoney spam*, and any actual information is scattered so badly over the portal that it makes me stop caring. The only thing worse is the WoWp portal, where the posts are not even sorted by publishind date(!!!). Ineffective, incompetent, indifferent -  Lots Bottle. Worgomong.

 

Thank you so much for that link, it has been extremely useful.

[300ConfirmedKills]

I only discovered it via world of mouth. I can't find it on the portal, so I can see why so many are unaware of its existence.
