I not really sure how to read this? Let me do a Matchmaker Breakdown.

-

Random Battles:

You can learn about Random Battle Matchmaker by watching this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7PmOMVLgsE

Brawls:

The matchmaker is concerned with "# of Wins" in the current Brawl sprint. So a player with a 10-0 record could be matched with a player which has a 10-10 record. The 10 wins is the main point of comparison.

Ship Nation/Type is not factored. One team could be 3 battleships while the other is 3 cruisers. The ship makeup is quite random and will follow the constraint of the brawl (Tier requirement, maybe it's a 3v3 but max 2 Battleships for a team, etc...)

Ranked:

Ranked is Random Matchmaker. It matches Tier and Type, and should balance out...

Occasionally the link between the WarGaming account and Twitch stops working. You can correct that by "turning it off and turning it back on again". Unlink and relink your account and the drops should start working again!

The amount of player-queues that are involved in Random Battles alone is rather staggering. We do offer variant play in Brawls, Ranked, Operations, and Clan Battles. There are also temporary events which can offer specific situations to play in, too. The recent Hot Tub mode had no CVs or Subs, for instance, and was a basic format for play.

Also, Training Rooms are free to access and play. An entire tournament which has become a global phenomenae and has a many thousand dollar prize pool is run completely through Training Rooms with the format chosen by those running the tournament. You can learn about the King of the Seas tournament here: https://worldofwarships.com/en/news/general-news/kots-xv/

If players want a specific setting to play on and feel there is greater interest among the playerbase for it, I actively encourage coming up with a ...

I haven't played Subs in a while, but I believe the arming distances are:

Homing Torpedoes - .5 km arming distance


Unguided Torpedoes - 1km arming distance

Premium ships are:

Tier 9 and below


Have reduced Service Cost


Have increased Credit Earning


Come with the Bonus Package Enabled

Special ships are:

Tier 10


Have reduced Service Cost


Come with the Bonus Package Enabled

(which has a higher-then-other-tier credit bonus)


There are similarities, but Special ships get extra credits from their Bonus Package compared to other tiers, but they don't earn have an improved credit earning multiplier like a Premium ship would.

Give it a few hours a try again. If you're still having problems on Monday, please send me a DM with the specifics of the situation and I can contact CS for you.

If you are able to make a CS Ticket later on, you can send me the Ticket #. You should explain that you were having issues and add a link to this forum post as reference. Make sure you haven't played the ship or opened the item purchased if you are requesting a refund.

The more people that watch KotS this weekend and get the mission, the more likely it is. It's already up to 29m in that screenshot with a weekend of people getting the mission and many days left to go~

I've got a YouTube channel which has hundreds of videos regarding specific CVs, CV concepts, and hundreds of hours of gameplay. Thank you to those who have pinged me above.

That was a lot of effort. Very cool to see how much you put into the request <3

You would need to pay for at least 5 stages. If you pay for the Battlepass and receive 3 from that, you would still need to purchase 2 more stages. You could do this directly or with one of the starter packs.

Likely you're approximating this scenario:



Namely that ships are locked into a semi-fixed location with their bow pointed to a spot with minor deviation from (to simulate being bow-on to a threat).

This oft-repeated narrative is why even a 1v1 showing that AA is not useless is still useful.

Please contact Customer Support. You should also provide a WGCheck, which can be generated from the Launcher.

Please reach out to Customer Support. I don't have a list of older cards that have been reporting issues so I don't know if your card is included.

As for a temporary solution that may help:

Try turning off Game browser hardware acceleration in the game settings. It was reported that this could help players with older graphic cards that are having issues with Dockyard, Armory and other areas.

Do you still have the Replay from this battle? It's been requested!

Also, a quick check from the previous Dockyard we had: https://forum.worldofwarships.com/topic/263380-psa-dockyard-missions-and-ship-types/


It's just the normal process and was quite literally done even a few months ago.

It's 10 am and I'm still absorbing caffeine.

Questions like these aren't infrequent as players are used to Mission Completion = Reward loops. In the case of the Dockyard, the missions are more for tracking progress while the Reward is in another area, so it's something to explain due to the differences in the foundational loop.

One of the largest conversational points about AA is the question on whether it works at all or not. A 1v1 is not a standard scenario, but it does test for whether AA is effective at reducing strike capability over time and if attacks are "punishable". Further, most conversational topics do like to reduce down to 1v1 discussion even though they are not the normal expectation, so it's relevant in those contexts as well.

The offer remains open as you are a CV Player with over a 50% winrate, so you'll be able to see directly what AA can do when interacting with your air resources.

Asking me to perform in-depth research of a replay isn't impossible, but I am busy. I might be able to do something on it later?

As a general response to your points made in an earlier reply, the Petro knew the YueYang was there and angled toward him. He knew he was there because the Petro sailed forward and killed the YueYang, so he had q...

Dockyards have existed in the current format for well over a year. There are 3 or 4 general missions, 1 mission for each ship type available, and a challenge mission. Each mission other than the challenge mission rewards 10,000 Credits, which is small enough to not need to be completed after the player finishes the week's condition of 6 or 7 missions completed. The only break to this convention is the "challenge mission" in each week that can yield strong ecobonuses for completing, as well as speeding up the grind for that week if accomplished.

The prizes from the Dockyard are awarded through finishing phases and receiving items in the Dockyard area of the client.
