Could you elaborate a bit more on what exactly isn't thought out? We've outlined this is a balance change to more properly distribute to DPS to squadrons, and create more consistent behavior between surface ships and aircraft.

Online chat can bring out the best and worst of us when we are in competitive situations and get frustrated. While perspective is always important, so is owning your actions so good on you OP for doing that.

Is there something specifically you struggle to remain positive on?

While these campaigns may happen from time to time our intent is to keep Steel a more scarce resource as a reward for significant efforts in Ranked/Clan Battles. We'll definitely make some noise in the future if they happen!

To be really clear this change isn't about adding skill, it's about addressing what is a widely vocal community concern about AA balance. While adding more skill is an ongoing conversation and more what the team is discussing in terms of AA sector redesign (requiring more skill to avoid), these changes are to provide balance by adding consistent damage to squadrons.

I believe this should be resolved but please provide us more information if it is not.. We were doing some stress testing on PTS (some of you ran into the bots) and it may have impacted load times and queues.

Folks bear in mind this is still in testing and was placed on PTS with no notes to ensure we received feedback without bias to the change. It's only been available today so it'll take a bit more time before we have enough data and can ensure this is accomplishing what we are trying to do.

I encourage you to try out PTS if you can and let us know if AA feels different.

A force to be reckoned with. Congrats on your acquisition!

As always please wait for the final release notes, while things from PT are likely to go forward as they appear we do make a number of adjustments during testing including rewards, cost, balance, etc...

Can you drop me a PM about this issue? I'd like to look into it.

We absolutely spent time and resources building a bot system that simulates player activity to properly gauge the server impact of various features and activity. We'd rather spend some development time running these tests versus pushing out an update that may create disconnects, delays on slower machines, etc...

Hey guys, we're actually doing some stress testing today of the server so you may run into a few cylons. Apologies for any inconvenience they cause but we need their data to ensure full assimilation.

Hey @Joe_918145 thanks for reporting your experience! Just so you know we are currently in the process of stress testing PT which is making the use of some bots. This usage may explain some of the behavior you are seeing but rest assured this is only temporary.

I can assure you no changes have been made to the Massachusetts. As others said definitely check your range as you'll start to lose significant penetration after 10km and bear in mind with a Sigma of 1.7 where she is best going to shine is those Secondaries. I love her personally but have found it challenging to engage outside of medium range.

Ranked for the first time can be a little intimidating especially if you are in a Rental ship. Be patient, try and work with your team, and try not to let any negativity bother you. These matches can become very heated especially for folks on the cusp of advancing ranks, but at the end of the day everyone wants to win.

Understanding the ship you are playing and how effective (or not) it is against opposing ship is important but will take time and experience. Also as you advance, understand Ranked does get more challenging so have goals in mind but be flexible if you aren't able to achieve them quickly.

Good luck and have fun this season!

Hey there! I'm going to assume you are referring to World of Warships: Legends so I hope I can clear up any confusion you have over this. This product was developed outside the existing World of Warships PC team and while it has similar content (ships with the same name, etc...), this is entirely different game which doesn't have cross play with any other platform. They operate completely independent of each other with different teams doing development, marketing, and community management.

This mode will only be available for a limited time so enjoy it while you can!

You've already received a lot of good advice and a monitor is a pretty significant investment unless you are a hobbyist who spends a lot on having current gen technology.

I personally like having a second monitor and have found I can't really live without it. Netflix, Twitch, looking something up....it's invaluable to me. As a result my main monitor is only 27" or it won't fit well side by side with my 19".

The other consideration you may look at is 60hz vs 144hz. If you aren't planning to use a card that supports 4k, I highly recommend 144hz as it won't change your world but the visual difference is slightly better and it's a nominal additional cost to a 1440p monitor anyway.

Regardless if you are on a 15inch laptop you'll see a vast difference in your gameplay. Congratz on your upgrade!

As others have mentioned they will appear randomly based on your daily container drops. As long as you keep them as your collection you should receive them pretty regularly but you may see more one day and less another.

Hey there! First there is no turn system so please feel free to give your impressions at any time!

We are definitely watching HE DB feedback and data very closely but the changes should have made DD's harder to target than they were in 0.8.4. Obviously "harder" can be a little subjective, which is why we are looking for your experiences.

We really appreciate you guys coming out this weekend! I know it was pretty warm (thankfully the area was shaded) but it was great to share a cold drink and some food with you guys. We look forward to hopefully seeing you guys at the Texas or Lexington later this year.
