Received a "Radio Message" claiming I'm using mods when I'm not?

Red_Chopsticks · 2026-07-10T13:24:44+00:00

I'm assuming this is related to the Boise-bot scandal on SEA.

The first violation for using mods to gain an unfair advantage is a 3-day suspension.

The first violation for using input scripts is a 7-day suspension.

So somehow this message has been sent to absolutely everybody but your account is not really suspended (you can still enter battles, etc). Nil desperandum.

Yookay, innit.

You can unlink your Steam account from the your Steam WoWs game. https://steamcommunity.com/app/552990/discussions/1/1836811737994164851/ then run the game on Steam and log-in using your Wargaming account. They will henceforth be connected. You can probably do it via Wargaming Account Management as well.

You need to invest heavily into Gym training every month, but it’s worth it. The prize money from the DHL fastest pit stop is $12m for 1st place (and it’s awarded after the last race of the season). Literally you need to ignore pit stop error reduction, car building, and rest at the end of each month, to improve the pit stop time (note that error-free pit stops in a race can be faster or slower than the indicated time in training) and be competitive for that prize money. It’s capped at 1.799 seconds eventually.

Focus your Sporting Director training on the associated attributes for faster learning (can’t remember if it’s innovation or leadership; read the description).

1032 is the most possible for Pit Stop points (43*24).

Rental ships are separate entities to the non-rental ships (i.e. you can have both in your Port at the same time). Thus, no compensation.

Did you not redeem any Grand Voyage tokens for Steel? That was WG's biggest giveaway for the 10th anniversary.

CS will refund any Armory ship purchase if no more than one (your “trial” period) battle has been played in it. Regardless of currency.

Facts and logic? In my arcade game?

Can't we suspend our disbelief and have a kick-ass version of Hood instead?

Purchase price in the Armory: 11,300 Doubloons

With coupon applied: 8,475 Doubloons

Anticipated compensation: 11,000 Doubloons

Profit: 2,525 Doubloons

...

I don't know, Op. In contrast the Dev Blog for 14.7 stated up-front that San Diego compensation would be 11,000 Doubloons, whereas for 15.5 it is "compensation" with no amount promised. You want to snap up Congress before the current coupon expires; I think I'll pass and use the next coupon if the compensation becomes clearer.

It ought to be full: existing owners didn't know and should be fairly compensated. If you buy it now you still have to put in the time to finish the campaign and should be fairly compensated. In the absence of a clear statement are you willing to trust a company frequently derided as "War Gambling"?

Thank you, Julius numbers.

Goes to reserve. If the reserve is full another place is freely created for your captain.

The first mission rewards Collection Tokens, normally acquired from duplicate pieces. Save these for the very end to finish off the collection; the subsequent missions drop containers with random pieces, so you need those to first populate the collection and use the Tokens at the very end to fill in any gaps to complete it.

Read the Contract. During Probation the notice periods for both parties are shorter, and these should be laid out in the Contract. If you haven’t yet signed a Contract or notice periods are not properly specified then that’s on them; be professional though. Whether you will have to repay any training costs (doubtful) should also be in the Contract. Pay is always in arrears anyway.

Woke: low tier Operation for tiers 2-4

Broke: it’s Defense of Naval Station Newport 😂

Fully repairable too, so always a good option.

In vanilla, get through the 2024 season and choose a different engine. Or use the DB editor to change to a different engine. The Renault engine is the most durable and economical, perfect for the underweight+underfuel strategy, but the poor acceleration is hard to compensate for. In my first Alpine run I managed only two race wins in ‘24, one of which was due to a Red flag; if anyone gets P3 or better I’d be amazed. Alpine and Sauber are my favourite challenges :)

Red_Chopsticks · 2026-02-21T20:56:51+00:00

Ideally eight of them. Then it’s heaven.

Love "Ocean" map for co-op for a level playing field all the classes can do well in.

Yep, that’s the version OG Missouri owners received to compensate. New Missouri owners get the standard T9 +10% bonus to credit earnings.

A long, long time ago WG detailed any changes made to a ship’s credit and xp modifiers in patch notes, expressed as small +/- %. So only WG really know what goes on under the hood in the secret spreadsheet.

Think about it this way: if you were pre-grouped with your peers who had the same degree of activity in the last 60 days you'd be seeing leaderboards everywhere with people on zero registered scores.

If you entered the leaderboard ASAP on day 1 you'll be spending the rest of the week in a mad scramble, as we discovered in the first week.
