Thanks for the heads up, I'll send this up for review.

Which Tier VIII cruiser do you prefer in a battle: Marine Nationale Charles Martel or the Royal Navy Edinburgh?

Both are capable cruisers with similar main battery guns, torpedoes, and anti-aircraft protection.

While Charles Martel boasts an engine boost and a main battery reload booster, Edinburgh is capable of either mounting smoke or radar as well as the ability to heal.

It's Friday and you need a fighting ship, which do you choose: Charles Martel or Edinburgh?

Noted and will forward it to the team for review!

The tech tree won't be visible as this is the early access period for French destroyers.

Funny you should mention this.

I was in this situation as I entered Bravo cap and secured it but my teammates spotted a Yamato closing in on my position.

Soon I was bow on to the Yamato and already sustained heavy damage from 2 salvos while trying to reverse as fast as I could. I was doomed for certain.

However, an allied GK sailed between myself and the enemy Yamato and provided cover for me to withdraw and was able to take down the Yamato.

Bravo Zulu @Atom_West honoring the finest traditions of the Naval Service!

Ahoy Fleet! The 0.8.6 Public Test is now starting, so please provide any bug reports you may encounter here.

Please also check out this guide on how to report a bug here:

For each report please attach the python.log file from your Public Test client. That will help us to better understand the nature of the issue you're experiencing.

If possible, it would be perfect if you could attach our Special Public Test version WGCheck tool report ( you can find the tool attached to this message).

You can find the instructions on how to use that tool here(instructions are given for the live server, however, they will be identical to Public test)

If you have feedback related items, you can leave them here.

I find myself in the Seattle and Yugumo lately.

I know a lot of captains have mixed feelings about the Seattle but it seems to be able to do the job for me!

Yugumo is a solid torpedo boat but surprisingly I am able to deal some damage with its main battery guns and of course its torpedo armament is very lethal too.

LoYang and Alaska make appearances too when I just feel like casual time, as well as Prinz Eugen!

Which warship(s) are you currently taking into battle?

Whether it is a tech tree ship you have been working on or a recently acquired premium vessel, these are your striking arms of your Fleet.

From fast destroyers, hard hitting cruisers, tanky battleships, or feared aircraft carriers, these warships go to battle for you and give the enemy fleet pause and often a watery place in Poseidon's kingdom.

Of all of the warships in your armada, which ones do you keep on alert status 5 and ready for combat?

"No captain can do very wrong if he places his ship alongside that of the enemy." - Horatio Nelson, Royal Navy

The beginning of the French cycle of updates, the new Crash Zone Alpha map, and the thirteenth season of Ranked Battles! You'll be able to enjoy this and much more during the Public Test of Update 0.8.6.

Can you forward this to the Support team so they can take a look at your report?

Make sure you aren't selecting the full-rudder shift as it will lock your rudder to turn either port (left) or starboard (right). By default these keys are "Q" and "E".

Try resetting your controls to default settings in case there was a key-binding that was unintentionally set.

Can you perform a check and repair of your client?

If that doesn't work, provide the Support team with a WG check report and they can see what is going on with your game client.

Ahoy! Good news, this is being addressed with the 0.8.5.1 micropatch!

#anchorsaweigh

Des Moines got the call for Ranked Battles Season 12.

I worked my way up to Rank 8 and stopped there. It was one higher than Season 11 (Rank 9) and I only played Des Moines because I wanted to see how well I could do with my strongest ship class, cruisers.

In the end, I too accomplished my goal of obtaining enough steel to obtain Stalingrad but she wasn't put through sea-trials long enough before the season ended.

Job well done for all that participated and worked their way up the ladder!

You're not alone, the cases are being investigated as we speak.

Disk permissions come to mind but you already have the client install on the D partition.

Can you submit a ticket to the Support team for assistance?
