Afaik, on current iteration they can do it only while surfaced.

Thank you for your consideration!

I'm already on a sick leave, though, so had time to play more Wows.

Just recently went through those tiers for IJN cruisers and destryoers. Haven't witnessed such occasion even once. Even though, it takes 5-10 average battles just to go through those tiers. And Arkansas Beta is a very powerful ship if there are no carriers, so she should have her weakness.
(But we are looking at T4 carrier stats now anyway - T4 should not become carrier paradise).
UPD. typo - forgot "not".

This man has to get somewhere really fast, at least.

Since DE give flat boost to fire chance - it's effectiveness decreases with base fire chance - so while on Shchors and Chapaev it can be left to your preferences, on Donsokoi it's less useful (compared to Superintendant, for example), and, as said abouve, currently the line's top doesn't need IFHE or DE.

Well, if you're talking about workarounds, there's a simpler one, without two clients:
Use EU client with German, and after that choose NA with realm selector tool. Though, it's a third party exe, albeit checked bu us.
Just put it into game folder and run.

WOWSRealmsTool.exe - to download it click here

I have to warn you - if you use it that way the game on NA would be unplayable while different realsm have different versions. And after each WoWs update you have to run it again.

And after I return to work - I'll raise a question if all languages should be available on all realms.

It's just one of the ways, prefrable in this case, since Triple Expansion Steam Engines weren't cutting there.
We've installed machinery similar ti Dunkerque.

You probably haven't heard of it because refits IRL were mostly being done for completed, not incomplete/stayed-in-the-yard-till-obsolescense ships.

And for some nations 21 knot was all they needed.

The discussion already been there, and we already considered doing spotting from CV this way multiple times, but evetualy were against radar-style spotting or any spins on that.

There are already a lot of problems with old system:
1) You could lose all your planes in 2-3 sorties. And if you thing current spottin is bad, old CV could've just permanently spot multiple ships at ones, without allowing them to hide.

2) Great skill gap - and yes, manual drops elimination could've helped, but good players still would be able to do more, just by knowldedge, and the gameplay would've been quite boring when you get the ropes.

3) Randomized AA - the situations where CV dind't lose a plane on attack run were quite possible, due to aa.

4) Incredible ifluence on battle results. If you think some ship is OP mow, just having Saipan in your team increased you win chances by 20%.

5) Game...

I watched it, and from a first glance it seems there is a problem. Information was given to people responsible for. Now we just have to wait (I'll check up on it sometime) - even though we want bugs to be fixed instantly, fix, if dynamic crosshair scaling really turns out to be a problem, wouldn't be fast, since currently there are much more pressing matters.

This tab is currently inactive on PT.

I only remember two stories about warship constructions getting buoyancy really wrong - this Spanish submarine and Vasa. And yes, it's easier with civilian ships, since they do generally have more standardized conctruction approach.
Our team of engeneers do calculate all that stuff, though.
Well, discussing which version of the Normandie would be more plausible is a thing on itself - if tensions were high, they would've been completed anyway, in original or refit form, and in other cases it would be better to build more modern warships. Except cases with Naval Treaties or loss of shipyards, Then it can get weird.

Please don't bring political discussion here. But IRl if Izmail was completed- she would have Soviet Navy flag.

I'd probably like to see Izmail in her planned-to-build form more than any, but I have to acknowledge that this would be a very unbalanced ship - with much thinner belt, but a great bow and stern armor.

Nikolai and Ishizuchi are precisely the reason why such ships aren't well suited for the game - if they are balanced when there are decent CVs in the match, they become quite OP when there aren't. And if they are okay when there aren't CV's, when CV appear - those ships have to suffer.

I checked with consultants, and, adding a section midship is actually the easiest way for ship elongation, since hull form in the middle is quite full (the most prominent example is subs) and similar to its neighbors, while if you elongate ships at the ends - you have to create new...

I'd like to add.
This containers main value is collectible items, signals and and camouflages, chance to get Gallant is there, but is quite small, and you should consider it as a bonus, not as the shortest and most convenient way to get that destroyer.
Also, I checked your PT account logs, and there may have been an error in your calculations.

Also, submarines.

Does it happen with you in all game modes?

Thank you, Intresting stuff, especially with Alsace. Will look into it.

Can be a problem with changing criteria during that test, but needs more looking into. Can you acces Bureau in the main game?

It can't get to T5 match without division, since T2-4 have +/-1 matchmaking.

Clan Brawl on PT needs only one player.
And some people already are asking to put this mode into the main game, since it's just duels.

Because it can't conjure a player from a thin air if there are none in the queue. And there is +/- 1 rule, afaik.
But situtations, where, for example one team has three USN BB without a squad, and the other has none shouldn't happen.

There is a bug which allows one more uptier than set to, but it's rare and will be fixed.

Each tier is calibrated differently and has different rules.

And it doesn't reset.

Do you need extra protected matchmaking on T 2-4 anyway?
And about other tiers - well, if you play ships on all the tiers - yes, to get calibration to properly work as intended you need to play those games, but it doesn't mean you'll be bottom tier while that happens.
