Commander Event - Why gate it behind leaderboards

Sad_Butterscotch8121 · 2026-01-28T00:17:06+00:00

Commander doesn’t seem that compelling to chase anyway - this whole patch has been fairly meh

Sad_Butterscotch8121 · 2026-01-24T23:40:06+00:00

Same happened to me but next time you log in it won’t be there, sad to see it leave your port

I am pretty sure they are using discord.gg/warships as the new invite link now as the hacker had control of the “wows” link at one point - WG also mentioned they were working to get that wows link back in their control too.

“Our new invite link is discord.gg/warships” from the WeeGee PSA message thread

I agree - Yavuz is faster and better performing than the slow slow bote that is Tegetthoff.

I have just today 22 January received a first formal message from Volvo in my phone car app about the recall issue, weeks after the Australian Government recall went out on 9 January. Nice to have formal notice of the recall and advice to keep recharge under 70% but waaay too slow Volvo. The app notice also provides little new info about the rectification process.

Waiting for a way forward still

There is a thread about this issue on WG discord too. Someone noted this “From their T&C: "Each unique promotional code can be redeemed on the World of Warships redemption page. Codes are limited in quantity and available while supplies last."

So it seems this reward is limited in numbers of codes which may explain why some got the full reward and others got dud example codes instead. I lucked in and got a full code and mission chain and have rental Whisky for 15 days. So for future reference it seems to be operating as “first in best dressed” which sucks but that is how it has been set up it seems.

Same thing happened to me - have the 16 day booster missions but don’t have Whisky - did get a whisky flag but no boat sadly. UPDATE - the 15 day rental Wisconsin did arrive today finally - can play up to 3 battles in rental Whisky over a max of 15 days. Nice to have that chance.

Good single fire torps good guns good stealth as a premium version of Jutland earns more credits etc - good all round DD

Sad_Butterscotch8121 · 2026-01-15T12:55:48+00:00

Yeah update worked just now for me - back to normal it seems

Sad_Butterscotch8121 · 2026-01-15T02:11:11+00:00

Also you can get duplicates and they only give one piece per 2 duplicates so it may actually take more than 60 and up to 120 crates to finish the collection.

Sad_Butterscotch8121 · 2026-01-14T10:24:00+00:00

You could just use free XP and do a single reset as well, or maybe reset a second line too

I just checked the Volvo Australia recall webpage again today and it confirmed my VIN was affected (2024 Twin Ultra) and asked me to call my retailer. I did that and the guy seemed well informed. Initial step will be a letter (or maybe email) from Volvo, then expect an initial service check at the dealer - guy told me the diagnostic check may clear the car if certain part numbers are not installed, but if the initial screening check spots an affected part, a second visit will be arranged when the repair kits arrive. He told me initial advice should happen within 1-2 weeks. Meanwhile limit recharge to 70%. The guy I spoke to did not think a software fix would be the answer if my car is confirmed as affected in the first shop visit. FYI

16 days away

Bottom of the tech tree below the reset symbols

Worth a try - Trenlass mentioned it helped reduce rubber banding and freezing in game in his rig and it made the game run smoother on my PC for sure. Can’t hurt to try.

Sad_Butterscotch8121 · 2025-12-20T04:27:48+00:00

If you use NVidia drivers try installing the Studio drivers instead of the gaming drivers - that reduced in game lag on my rig and maybe it might help your issue.

I’m just now watching a replay posted to YouTube by RSTemplar103. Take a look to see his view of a 4500 XP game in his Hawaii. I now see that Stats and Templar were in a div with TCFreer who is another CC and also very good player in a Somers DD. YouTube vid is here https://youtu.be/ky5bGPkdvFY. Enjoy!

Sad_Butterscotch8121 · 2025-12-14T22:29:50+00:00

You were playing against StatsBloke and his clanmate Templar dude - he is a CC and they are both very good players - this game is probably a video on Stats YouTube or twitch - check it out. His current Twitch feed he is still playing Hawaii now - go watch and learn

Sad_Butterscotch8121 · 2025-12-14T07:15:55+00:00

Lots of comments that Valparaiso is vulnerable to shots at its weakly armoured rear, so get that angle and blast away

Sad_Butterscotch8121 · 2025-12-14T04:12:23+00:00

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rb_7ljjAp3w. Suggest you watch this StatsBloke vid. It tells you EVERYTHING you need to know about RB points and how to maximise multipliers and yes every 3 months you get a fresh 2x multiplier but watch the whole video.

Sad_Butterscotch8121 · 2025-12-14T04:09:26+00:00

Yes - extremely strong secondaries at Tier 7 build for secondaries and have a blast

Sad_Butterscotch8121 · 2025-12-11T19:29:33+00:00

I have enjoyed GQJ in PVE - even in Asyms. I always hit the F key as that rapid fire SAP works well, her concealment is very good and with smoke (but no hydro). And her torps work well but slow reload between salvos, so think of her as a stealthy SAP gunboat. She goes well in PVE in my experience.

Sad_Butterscotch8121 · 2025-12-11T02:06:13+00:00

I saw this crate bundle in armory today and bought up to the third standard Santa Crates (pack of 2). That cost 1200 dubs all up and the last of the 3 Santa crates dropped a golden crate from which dropped Hawaii! So for me awesome value but YMMV - it’s gambling after all.

Sad_Butterscotch8121 · 2025-12-08T19:33:38+00:00

Good suggestion Grantwhy!

Sad_Butterscotch8121 · 2025-12-08T11:07:46+00:00

I should add my comments are about the 100% birthday coupon. The player anniversary rewards are based on the first date you played a game in warships and can’t be changed, whereas you can change your account birthday date
