I am not on about subs or CV or multiple DD's per side, one thing for me is that lack of HMS Rodney, the other thing is the intro video, all things seem correct, the Yamato meeting carrier strike groups , the Japanese and Russian navy going at it etc, but you then get the Bismarck firing on a British BB which is not the Hood, (plus hitting the forward turrets and not the rear) to me it looks like Warspite or Queen Elizabeth.

Just another little thing that bothers me for no known reason:Smile_sad:

"The enemy has taken the lead!"

 

"The enemy is about to win!"

 

I don't need these annoying announcements during the game. Well, not after my first 200 or so battles. I know when I am losing and winning by looking at the score and the number of ships on each side. In addition, these announcements are often laughably wrong, especially with the Epicenter mode of battle.

It's that WoWS still won't sell a dedicated clan flag slot. WoT/WoWP has had a clan emblem patch (for money) for, literally, years.

A 'dedicated clan flag slot' (considering the, literally,  hundreds of flags already in the game) for some money (doubloons) is, imho, a no brainer.

I swear, I always understand "The enemy is taking a leak".

Which is usually correct! :cap_haloween:

Could have been Rodney blasting her 16 inch shells at Bismarck burning hulk point blank

- cant create own captain name

- after battle screen: hardly can read captain names, letters almost same colour as background

- hardly any storms where visibility is decreased to max 8 km, removed due to the usual forum whiners

- too few scenarios, the old ones that were removed years ago

- no free camera mode in port

- why only a captain with skills, why not a master gunner etc.. with specialised skills

- secondary gunturrets shooting in the wrong direction coz they are static, looks so stupid

Those fly specks on almost every map but one. Damn rocks! :etc_swear:

 

Shortage of scenario battles, both old and new. :Smile_sad:

 

Subs. :cap_cool:

 

Lack of meaningful tactical play (assuming I could actually manage that myself... :Smile_hiding:).

 

Poor balancing. My rock is made of styrofoam, my scissors are made of tin, and my paper is the size of a postage stamp.  :cap_wander:

The voice over lines for CV squadrons still not playing after about... a year... year and a bit... of being told "We are aware of the problem and working to fix the audio issues"

 

I miss my chirpy Mermaid Wrath Dive bomber pilots :Smile_sad:

The div chat can't be turned off in port so that I can see the interface without having to move the division box every time I want to do something. That 'fix' was another stupidity that made the game worse.....

Taunt-patches irk me too. I don't like being taunted after my ship is sunk. We need a button to turn those off. I use the most vanilla patch I can so I don't offend others. Aslan's mod unfortunately can't shut off my own taunt-patch.

The view zooming all the way in to the turrets after using a Dutch airstrike. That can't be intentional.

Unicum Kami R players at t5, I hear boss music every time I see one.

I can't say I've ever heard one fire, but somehow I doubt those 70mm old-timey AA guns on the VU sounded like MGs.

Speaking of VU, what is up with all those guns on the deck that contribute to neither AA nor secondary?

Italian 90mm secondaries lacking that one extra mm of pen they'd need to damage t8+ DDs.

The ship carousel in the port view keeps resetting to three rows no matter how many times I set it at four. I have to begin each and every game session resetting it, which is a routine that has grown old real fast.


When someone does a thing like this in real life - such as persisting in prouncing your name wrong, or constantly interrupting you with random noises - it's a form of domination technique (and something I know how to handle). As an annoyance in the game inteface, I don't quite know what to make of it. I guess it's either a bug or an expression of wanton sadism. (So, probably a bug...? :Smile_smile:)

The WoWs ModStation has the option "Hide Insignias" that stops you from seeing others patches after you are sunk. I use it.

Many things both delight me and annoy me about the game. The #1 annoyance currently is that

Wargaming have removed team killing so that I no longer have the opportunity to "explain" to submarine players how wrong they are.

When the papal legate Arnaud Amalric, Abbot of Citeaux, was approached by his general during the Albigensian Crusade and asked how they were going to separate good Christians from heretics during the upcoming storming of Béziers, his Grace the Abbot reputedly replied: "Kill them all; the Lord will recognize his own."

 

Alas, team killing is now a thing of the (deeply religious) past. This practical mindset is thus no longer an option when dealing with the submarine infestation.

That would make a cool video clip, to be fair the art and the animation department of WG are quite good.

"Anime" voices. Annoying as hell.

Only just less annoying than the Captain Cobra in WoT's, how people can play that gam with that guy rawping in their earphones is beyond me

Oh dear ,I admit to liking the sneakiness of subs, only to be disheartened by their shortcomings, the to make matters worse I decide to research the Russian CV's, that must make me real bad:Smile_veryhappy:











Take comfort though, I am as crap in subs as I am in CV's, I'm quite sure I an hear the collective sighs of relief:Smile_veryhappy:
