To be honest - if you asked me "what does it say when you are sunk in Randoms?" - I wouldn't know off the top of my head

Hmmm....
I don't play Coop that often - does it always say "you were killed by a player"??

How about a Nakhimov with 20 Smolensk Turrets on the deck?

Captains!
A patch will be applied to the Public Test Server Round 2:

Fixed a bug that could prevent the in-game browser from opening in some situations.


Fixed a bug that could cause the ship collision sound to be played in battle when there was no collision taking place.


Updated the video shown after construction in the Dockyard is complete.

Thank you!

W.Virginia '44 is absolutely on the docket for 2023, barring some horrible unforeseen occurrence like Boggzy finally being beamed back into space.

Captains!

Get a first look at the map pool for Season 18 of Clan Battles tonight on the NA Community Stream. Boggzy will be joined by Legionnare to play Royal Navy Battlecruisers and take a look at the Novorossysk before it leaves the Premium Shop soon! If you didn't pick one up for free when it was available and want to see it in action, come have a look!

Also... dust off your German and UK Battlecruisers because we're going to have a Jutland-style rumble between UK and GER BB's with your help! We'll do the low-tier WW1 ships first and then move up to a Giga-Jutland match with T9's and T10's!

Wednesday, July 27th at 5pm Central US time as always on our Official Twitch Channel!

@HazardDrake
Can I ask you to re-upload the picture with censor bars over the player names please?
We don't anyone featured to feel like they are being crapped on

The Auction for early-access to a Supership for Credits is not the same thing as the original Puerto Rico Dockyard.

Comment

A player without the prerequisites to get their own supership is incredibly unlikely to purchase enough credits to bid on a supership auction. Even though this is possible, this is not a thing that would affect more than maybe 5 or 6 people at the most

Superships are not a thing you can "pay for".

You are required to have multiple Tier 10's unlocked and a massive number of credits to obtain one. Even if you were to purchse 2 tier 10's through Firepower crates or for doubloons when they are available, you would still have a grind a line to access the corresponding Supership. Free-XP'ing that line would still require you to have enough Elite XP that can be converted.

Sorry, but "buying your way to a supership" just isn't really a thing.

In fact, I agree! Many of my favorite Battleships and Cruisers are at Tier 7.

Almost every game has a "Critical Fail" mechanic.

Honestly, I kind of wish that the Juliet Charlie flag reduced detonations by 50% or 75% instead of completely...

Tiers 5-8 have been in the situation you describe for years.

Superships function as a Tier 11 in terms of how the matchmaker works. Nothing fundamental has changed and T9 are not suffering in overall performance.

T7 is still the tier that has the most difficult time being double up-tiered due to modification options and armor thresholds. T9's are, for all intents and purposes, better suited for handling superships than T7 are for handling T9.


EDIT: Also, there is nothing to "fix" in the Match-maker in this situation. T9 and T10 are not longer the protected tiers that they used to be.

That's a very reasonable suggestion, Lert - I will make a case for it. Thank you for bringing it up clearly

Yep - this was brought up elsewhere and noted.


We don't always respond, but we read.

We do, in fact!
The signal / camo system was far more confusing to a new player than the current system. Further, the fact that FXP and CXP were all directly tied to +XP bonuses and not independent was excruciating to most players - forcing them to go to third party sites for information on how to maximally earn FXP and CXP in matches. This needed a change. While the process of changing it may have been extremely complicated (because it's like converting from imperial to metric), that's the price to reach a simpler result.

"Zeke" in middle-management doesn't make these decisions. These are company-wide and go through many steps of trial before they get rolling.

Also, I would appreciate it if you wouldn't assume that no-one in WG plays WoWs. I have 15,000 battles from coop to Round of 16 in KOTS and regularly play Hurricane-level Clan battles. Ahskance, Legionnare, and a large part of the EU office are all excellent and experienced player...

Captains! Due to a mistake Halland’s torpedo damage was increased from 10700 to 11467. It will not have a significant effect on the ship’s performance and will be brought to the initial value of 10700 in the upcoming update 0.11.7. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Thank you!
