[CATS] Tellsson Beta Tester 3,713 posts 19,142 battles Report post #1 Posted November 20, 2016 Yarrharr community, since many people seem to struggle with the mission to get the Nachi due to a lack of Russian ships, us CATS will try to help the community a bit. The idea: On Thursday and Friday (24th+25th Nov.) between 7pm and 10pm (GMT+1), we will be sailing predominantly Russian ships of tiers 7 to 10. This way, we'll improve the community's chances to encounter Russian ships ingame and sink them. Of course, we'll fight just as fiercly as usual and sell our hide as dearly as possible. It would be great if as many of you as possible would join us. The more Russian ships we have ingame the less whining we'll have on the forums... Clans could try to get into battles together (via 3,2,1,go) and solo players could just take their Russian warships into random battles. Thus, at least for a few hours, we'll increase the "Russian population" and allow people to get some much needed kills. For the community!!! greetz Telly ^^ 27 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[SCRUB] Live85 Weekend Tester 453 posts Report post #8 Posted November 20, 2016 A good idea would be to use the forumites channel and try to coordinate divisions pressing battle. Usually the banter alone when you land in different teams is worth it. I've had random games when we landed against enemy forumites, hopping in their ts channel and laughing together.

[LAI] Nagine Beta Tester 680 posts 3,140 battles Report post #9 Posted November 20, 2016 Always nice when community helps each other and manage to do this in an interesting and non-shady way. Perhaps there should be a list of people participating in these divisions that everyone who encountered them could compliment them. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tenacious_torps ∞ Players 1,373 posts Report post #10 Posted November 20, 2016 Not sure if I can make it, but if Poseidon permits I'll derp along in the Chapa. Just so everybody has a chance to get his kills, because I absolutely suck in that ship. Any shooting back will be rather nominal in nature, I'm afraid. She has a nice big citadel as I am reliably reminded just about every battle, enjoy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

havaduck ∞ Players 2,989 posts 11,824 battles Report post #15 Posted November 20, 2016 Just a fair word of warning; this is what happens if you get spotted in your ru-ship: Its like the Pensacola-factor multiplied by a 100 times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[SINT] Jvd2000 Players 1,639 posts 31,167 battles Report post #16 Posted November 20, 2016 (edited) I applaud the initiative of improving the odds of encountering more Russian ships but the my point against this is that WE as an cummunity are catering and solving a PROBLEM that is initiated by WG. The solution should be an end to this stupid requirements by WG instead of us trying to migitate it. By the way, I have seen a small increase of Russian ships but most of the time they are played by tier one ranked players making use (abuse?) of the situation to increase their score. Not that people should offer them up as willing targets but there is now so much foul play. I do it too now, going agressive for a quick end of a useless match when there is no enemy targetand go in full focussed on any russian ship if there is one. Ramming is a approved way. I explained a furious Dimitri player after ramming him that he should blame WG instead of me.... WOWS want me to play like a ....? Ok i will play like that.

ScratxNeko Players 453 posts Report post #17 Posted November 20, 2016 I like the idea. +1 Unfortunately not everyone has russian ships to help with. On the other hand I have Nachi already so I'm out of the feeding pool. Although the big Moskva that was shooting up my Bisko had to find out the hard way my guns are bigger than his. <_< Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Agantas Players 1,059 posts 7,793 battles Report post #18 Posted November 20, 2016 We might even shoot first... I presume this is a BB driver since there is the word 'sniper' in the name. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HughMan Beta Tester 26 posts 2,533 battles Report post #19 Posted November 20, 2016 (edited) I presume this is a BB driver since there is the word 'sniper' in the name. It looks rather agile so I'd wager it's a stealth-firing cruiser. I applaud the initiative of improving the odds of encountering more Russian ships but the my point against this is that WE as an cummunity are catering and solving a PROBLEM that is initiated by WG. The solution should be an end to this stupid requirements by WG instead of us trying to migitate it. Well the mission works just fine for the other three nations' ships. I wouldn't have thought that there'd be such a shortage of Russian ships. But isn't it nice that it creates an opportunity for the community to get together and achieve something?

[NBS] silence5 Privateer 268 posts 10,540 battles Report post #20 Posted November 20, 2016 Every day that I play I give my offering to the matchmaker/nachi grinders. I take out my chapayev and kiev atleast once. Thats the only way I can repent for playing my taiho and focusing poor khabas and chappas in the first 2 weeks(they had no chance ). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[MIRAI] _cosmo Players 591 posts 7,809 battles Report post #21 Posted November 21, 2016 I play my kutuzov daily as well, as much as needed to get the daily win, but i won't touch kiev until i finish the mission(my way of boycotting the mission requirement of t8+). I don't mind playing kutuzov for a few hours though for the benefit of the comunity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daniyyel Beta Tester, Sailing Hamster 335 posts 7,723 battles Report post #22 Posted November 21, 2016 I don't have any high tier Russian ships. What i did in the last week, every player I met in t8-10 games playing a Russian ship got a +1 from me. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ferry_25 Players 4,392 posts 12,107 battles Report post #23 Posted November 21, 2016 Ok! I brought them out in the weekend! Kutuzov, Dm Domsk, Molotov (which was placed in much T8 battles). Somehow I played wonderful games in them and never got sunk.... Why do I still have the feeling this is bad?? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Venatacia Beta Tester 872 posts 5,885 battles Report post #24 Posted November 21, 2016 (edited) I'm in for Friday eve, need me some Russian ships. That is very good of you OP but are your cats all purple players, there must be some catch to it I would join in once I manage the kills needed but I only have Russian ships up to tier 6.
