The question is definition of "gain". If stats-wise Hak makes considerable battle contribution by absolute and relative damage and spotting, and has good WR in the groupr, why plane losses matter? Kaga has a lot of plane losses, too, but she is still strong, because she can send many waves. It's just a feature of a ship - weaker planes, but more of them. Still gets the job done. On the contrary, Saipan has fewer planes, but they are stronger individually. Gets the job done as well.

Mouse is calling it a bug, because my team member told her it's a bug. He was not entirely correct, nor her was wrong. And I'm sorry for miscommunication that happened. It is how mechanic works (guns start not loaded) and it was not considered a problem (because as I said above, DPS timer does not reset, so it basically matters only for the 1st damage tick).

However, as we strongly consider tweaking the DPS mechanics to be give more consistent results, it may be treated as a bug in some of the possible tweaks. But, for example (it IS just an example) if we introduce faster tick rates for all AA guns across the board, the fact they have to load first will not matter at all.

So in the end, the real question will not be in this exact nuance, but in the result. We do want to make AA results more consistent, and there are several potential ways to achieve it.

Cheers.

First let me assure we haven't made any changes to the New Mexico. All balance changes made to ships are listed in the update notes with specifics. There have been very rare occasions where a note has been omitted or an unintentional change made but these are called out or corrected as soon as physically possible.

How have subsequent games gone for you?

From the article.

Is guaranteed, when exactly is a little more fluid.

Heyo Captains,

This really isn't necessary.

Firstly, ranked is only available to players who have clocked AT LEAST 150 games, in this time they need to reach T8 before they are granted the rental ships of those line. These new players will then be starting ranked at the lowest rank at 18. and be in the secondary league and will have to work their way up through the ranks like all players have to.If you have previously made significant progression through ranked, its likely you are already out of this league and will not be facing new player in rentals.

Secondly, just because a player has not unlocked a T10 through the tech tree does not mean they do not know how to play the game. They may have spent their time across many lines and nations and consequently have not reached a T10 individually. It should not be discounted universally that they do not not know what they are doing.
Lastly, if they are not.... *ahem* skilled enoug...

Hey Commanders,

Commanders! In Update 0.8.3, some of you may have encountered a problem which prevented you from receiving your well-deserved rewards (flags) for your achievements. This error has already been fixed. We’re well aware that you put in a great deal of effort to get your heroic and honorable achievements, so we’re happy to inform you that the hard-earned flags will be credited to your accounts very soon.

Thank you very much for your understanding!

She is spread and popular enough to judge her on stats. If she falls behind, we will gladly buff her, as any other ship

Thanks, Mouse, this is an excellent article. I've just addressed a somewhat similar (not about this exact component, but about DPS AA consistency) write up on Reddit here, and I think my response will make sense here as well:

Also, it's worth mentioning @LittleWhiteMouse (apologies if I missed that) that the DPS application timer is not being reset. For example, if AA group applies DPS once per 5 seconds, and a plane squadron dips in for 4 seconds, next time any target enters this range, it will take damage in 1 second, not in 5. It is a nuance of the mechanic, which is rather important. But, as I said, we will strongly consider tweaking it, to make DPS AA more consistent.

Cheers.

Tell that to the Henri I dev struck the other day :D

While Kuznetsov will be able for coal later on, this may be a valuable option for ranked depending on your ship choice.

The containers will of course give you items like camos, flags and collection items too.

Lastly, if you don't have the Murmansk this would be an opportunity to have her join your fleet. If you already have it, you'll pick up 3000 doubloons instead

Many options, all depends what your needs and focus are!

Heyo Captains

I can confirm it is the original Dunkirk collection items that are available in these crates.

If you have already completed the collection you will receive credits.

Hey Rummerz,

Welcome to World of Warships! The forums has many players that will be glad to help you with learning the basics of the game. We were all new players to the game at one time and don't beat yourself up if you are having difficulties learning the game right away. Feel free to ask any questions you have and we as a community will be glad to help you =).

The IJN (Japanese) and USN lines are honestly two of the best to start with.

Here is my new player guide that I have been working on:


Basic Tips:

Don't worry about your stats when you first start playing, it will take you hundreds of games to start grasping the game and understanding all the mechanics.


Play different ships at low tiers to try and get a feel for what nations you might like.


Remember there are two different modes you can play: Random Battles (PVP) and Co-Op (PVE).
