Blue steel

Those are just cosmetic. A very tiny amount of them has some special ability attached to them, but it will be noted in the description of the flag if it does.

No, they don't. There are some flags you can win during ranked battles which give you a bonus on ship repairs IIRC. But they are deleted after the ranked season is over.

NA got some (read: at least one) flags which give different boni. Other players might have more information about that.

flags which give different boni.

Boni?

While "boni" would be correct in latin, the correct way to pluralise bonus is "bonuses" in English (which is the language you are communicating in)

Yes they do. If you have a sufficiently rare one (Red Rooster for example), they will make other players jealous :B

It is not just correct in latin which might be what had me confused. Mea culpa, thanks for the hint. :teethhappy:

Missed you yesterday.. Took my Okhotnik out for a spin.. Silly BB drivers thought best way to counter a tier 5 DD with 12  short range Torpedos Tubes was to go Bow on and CHARGE...  Kraken High Calibre 2600 base XP and 185k damage showed them it was a bad idea.

Ha! As if these long-term players and supertesters need any more help - Wargaming gives them flags!

It's just like it says in the Bible:

Mark, Chapter 4, Verse 25

"For he that hath, to him shall be given"

Flags are a great addition but at present pretty pointless unless you have the alpha testers flag. We can only mount one flag at a time and the last time I ever noticed a flag on anyones ship (because I couldn't care less) was a long long long time ago. WG are missing a great opportunity in this.

Clan flags should be a thing.

My favourite flag is the red one, with the letters "CBT" on it in bold. My wife informs me that this is the internationally accepted acronym for C0ck and Ball Torture.

 

I fly it on all my ships.

True story about myself.

I was in a bad car accident just over ten years ago. I needed psycho-therapy for it and the headshrinker gave me an agenda outlining the treatment schedule.This included something called "CBT".

I googled CBT and got the shock of my life!

Fortunately I quickly spotted results further down the page which showed other meanings.

I think we may safely infer a little something about humanity, as a species, from the order in which your search results appeared on that Google page.

Although these flags are largely cosmetic, are they single use or once mounted are they on that ship permanently or ?

If you have earned the flag, they stay in your inventory forever, and if you mount them on your ship, they stay there forever (until you swap them out for another flag, after which they go back to your inventory). They are not expendable.

NA Players had Access to a flag that adds bonuses to XP and either Commander Xp or Credits (5% each).

Reason being NA.

 

Sadly, the EU Team couldn't be arsed - or wasn't allowed - to give us EU non-ST/ non-CC/ non-Alpha Plebs the opportunity to get a flag that offers the same bonuses. 

Reason being EU.
