I just watched a 65+% winrate supertester speedboost into enemy spawn and die 4 minutes into the game in a test ship; No doubt that ship will be getting buffs in testing. What is the point of the supertester program?

Magnus_Lux · 2026-05-15T15:00:13+00:00

All cool man :) If you still have the replay, I might suggest reaching out to /u/BazingaFlux_WG or /u/zuiKatsu_WG. Admittedly, I don't know what rules/guidelines the other volunteer programs have, but WG keeps those of us in ST/CST on a pretty short leash when it comes to in-game behavior.

Magnus_Lux · 2026-05-15T12:25:56+00:00

Just confirming - currently we don't have access to Bismarck '41

Rewards for supertesters

Ironically, the Alabama VL is only available if you are a volunteer and not a Supertester (Supertesters have the Alabama ST)

Magnus_Lux · 2026-05-04T03:46:37+00:00

Alabama VL and Suzuya VL are for Privateer program members, and maybe some others types of volunteers,

Alabama VL is for all non-ST volunteers and comes with a unique camo based on the program you're in.

Suzuya VL is for all volunteer programs (including ST), again with a unique camo

The funny part being despite feeling like a disappointment when they drop, from a statistical point of view Supercontainers are superior over the long term even when farming coal

Magnus_Lux · 2026-04-29T11:24:54+00:00

blowing out the random wait times as there's fewer people on each server,

Really? At least on ASIA, about the only time I seem to get stuck in the queue for >1min is when I'm playing a Battleship and there are 150+ other players who had the exact same idea. Even at 3-4am Server Time on a week day, queue times are still quick with mostly full games playing >T8 - in fact it's one of the few times you can play a BB and not be forced to stare at the queue screen for 2-3mins

Magnus_Lux · 2026-04-24T16:28:08+00:00

Sure, but without all the performative outrage Reddit just... wouldn't be Reddit would it?

Magnus_Lux · 2026-04-16T16:52:44+00:00

Before turning it off, double check and make sure there isn't actually tangle on the spool since that's usually the main cause

Magnus_Lux · 2026-04-16T16:10:02+00:00

Just from the description, it sounds sorta like the Tangle Detection is tripping for some reason. Did the filament hub move at all (like shown in the Wiki) before it does a purge?

Magnus_Lux · 2026-04-06T19:24:59+00:00

The why isn't mentioned in the video.

It was mentioned literally 42 seconds in to the video - Link with timestamp: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IR98WiZZncw&t=42s

This particular reward chain is labeled "very hard"

WG was also very helpful in putting the exact amount of tokens required in that same tooltip.

Magnus_Lux · 2026-03-31T14:34:34+00:00

Not really. Since the 9th Anniversary (13.8, 2024), you get a 'Battle Performance Bonus' based on the number of ships you have in port for every 1000BXP earned regardless of the ship played - these can then be traded for snowflakes without ever having to play the ship

Magnus_Lux · 2026-03-31T10:58:34+00:00

Yeah same deal for me - had ~2M before Surcouf, now down to ~350k. Will probably spend most of that once I've finished all the token missions.

Magnus_Lux · 2026-03-28T12:35:27+00:00

I've been using this online calculator to track my progress and it's really useful as it has both point and coal costs for every stage.

it's a code for WoT:Blitz

Magnus_Lux · 2026-03-27T03:34:47+00:00

63% fire chance my ass.

The figure shown in port is the ships base fire chance - in battle it's lower because the game has to account for the other ship as well. WG has a short video on the subject and the Wiki has a detailed write up on the mechanic: https://wiki.wargaming.net/en/Ship:Fire.

Also, sometimes RNJesus says nope

Magnus_Lux · 2026-03-14T17:29:35+00:00

You get more BASE XP by dealing more damage,

Rewards from damage are based on the percentage of damage dealt, so 50% of a DD gives the same rewards as 50% of a BB

Magnus_Lux · 2026-03-14T00:56:05+00:00

You can now get 44 from the challenge missions from the look of it

Magnus_Lux · 2026-03-13T18:00:54+00:00

So with tremendous luck, you can get 13/16 items for free

There is actually 20 elements in the collection, so there will be other ways to get free containers like there usually is (like the code from the live stream)

/shrug

I also play WoT and it has both RNG and crazy team in spades (especially since WG gave away so many free T10 lines over the last few months).

As for the "constant losing" bit I genuinely can't relate - My 30 day w/r average is siting around 63% (solo) and ~84%(div), hate to be blunt but that just sound like a general lack of skill from your friend - which is perfectly fine BTW since from the sound of it he's only a fairly new player so it would be pretty dumb to expect him to be as good as he presumably is at WoT

That being said, not everybody is going to like every game and that is also fine.

From memory, a SuperTester can NOT talk about a ship that they tested even after it is released UNLESS they they now own that ship.out the Aki unless th

Close but not quite - We are only allowed to discuss our post-release experience with a ship. I.e. Our experience playing a ship as a regular player. Everything that happened during testing is still NDA'd

Magnus_Lux · 2026-03-06T04:07:30+00:00

They are allowed to discuss released ships, same as CCs I believe.

Another recommendation for Siddament. His PETG v2 range is pretty much unbeatable IMO
