In the Port's Chat interface, you can select "Channels" and use the "Search for a Clan or Division" channel while Clan Battles are going on.
There are timeframes that clan battles occur on Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday. Please read our article to learn more: https://worldofwarships.com/en/news/clans/clan-battles-barracuda-season/
Clan Battles tend to be a more formal experience. All the players are usually on voice comms and doing their best to work together.
There is a channel in game where people advertise that they're available for Clan Battles if anyone would like to invite them, but it's not a guaranteed thing. The best choice is to join a clan or group which does Clan Battles directly so you can experience the organized play consistently.
"Merc" is just when a Clan invites someone to their Clan Battle Division that isn't in their clan. They can have up to 3 Mercs in a Clan Battle Division (so they need at least 4 players from their clan).
Interesting. There wasn't anything changed from our end that I'm aware of, so that sounds like an interesting issue.
Did any other clans experience the same problem?
You have up to 3 Mercs per Clan Battle division. If you have multiple divisions running, you should be able to have additional Mercs in those Divs so the restriction is not "clan-wide". Further, your clan members can Merc for other clans with no issue to your divisions.
You will need to bring the other 4 members from your Clan to fill each Division if you'd like to queue for Clan Battles.
You played a German Battleship in a Brawl. German Battleships are well armored brawling ships, so it's not surprising that you won. They are made for that fight/format.
We have two tech-tree lines of German Battleships which you could use and expect to do well in.
We've already raised the matter internally and will be looking over it.
In the meantime, players that experience penalties that feel incorrect should continue to let us know. Also, please provide Replays so we can analyze what happened to incur the penalty in the first place.
This game is quite complex and can be hard to master. There really aren't many videos out which cover how to play Submarines, but there are many videos regarding Destroyer play. You can learn some positioning concepts from Destroyers that will translate to the stealthy, underwater play of Submarines~
First and foremost, don't be afraid to have space between you and the enemy. As you play more, you'll identify what openings exist and how to make use of them!
Matchmaker being Random allows for more variety in experiences. Sometimes you're the higher tier ship and sometimes you're the lower tier ship and that can cause different situations and decisions for your play.
It's not uncommon to see players with thousands of games!

On hold for a moment. Thread dissolved to Personal Attacks and Bickering.
I'll sometimes hide a thread while deliberating what to do with it.
Do you have a Replay of this game? Did you disconnect at all?
It's been reviewed and there were abnormally long periods of inactivity that caused the penalty. Being not active (not moving/shooting) will be viewed by the system as inactivity, so please try to have at least some form of movement/activity where possible.
There were two Clan Battle seasons earlier this year which were no-duplicate format. They were enjoyed, but after two seasons players were looking for something new.
That makes good sense. I hadn't considered trying for a perma-flood/slick, but that would be very useful indeed.
One thing that looks worth pointing out. The Ping Indicator does look to skew ahead of the sub by a distance, so your first ASW Strike would have been correct if you were trying to prevent the Sub from yolo'ing directly at you. Since it pinged from range, it's safe to assume that it wanted to engage at range, so it might be better to drop "on top" of the sub as opposed to "leading it forward".
The drop was:
It might work better to do something like this to include the area behind the ping:
Secondly, you had two ASW Drops and could have used your second to further carpet the area. You could have not wanted to waste it as you were unsure of the sub's heading/movement, but outside of the sub misplaying and getting spotted you wouldn't have a reason to expect perfect drop information.

Later the drop was:
It looks fairly on target, especially with the next...
Read moreLOL. That last second ending <3
No, you're connecting dots that don't exist. Aegis was not altered in the current Update, but the feedback I'm reading recently suggests it might be worth looking at.
