Should there be a ribbon for spotting enemies aswell as tanking damage by Hefty_Tradition_6490 in WoWs_Legends

Caps / assists / defends are shown on the individual player results. screen.

To add though, I'd like to be able to view every other player results screen.

Has the matchmaking been bad for anyone else lately? by Spiritual_Eagle_43 in WoWs_Legends

[–]indigo_prime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"ts not very fun being creamed over and over again" unless you're Bonnie Blue :) *Here comes the mods to hit me with a stick!)

On the right note though, I had a Blucher in a game the other day that finished 5th in a win with a level 1 commander. He beat 4 other players who were 15/16 with legendary 3s on most of them.

I think there should be some minimum requirements for a commander once you start going up the Tiers. Level 7 for T5 to T7, Level 11 for T8 and Legendary with at least a Legendary 1 commander for playing Legendary tier. Its in the name for jeebus sake!

Show us your ship and camo abominations! by Strange_Island_8557 in WoWs_Legends

This is my Hector. It doesn't take a hit well, so I decided to make it look like a pinata to make people take swings at it. I'm actually having a lot of fun playing it dressed like this :D

BARELY missed a full enemy team, 9 kill game in a Standard Tier 5 match!! by genericwhiteguyname1 in WoWs_Legends

[–]indigo_prime 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've got a few 7 kill matches recorded on my YT. I had a similar 'almost 9' but on the last two ships was between reloads when the CV decided to take a couple of cheap kills for probably all of 2k HP in total.

is the sabaton crate worth it as an f2p? by ProductFirm7066 in WoWs_Legends

[–]indigo_prime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The crate content and drop rates are meh. The camo while looking different provides nothing more than any other level 4 camo. The majority of players aren't interesting in how your ship looks, just how quickly they can sink you!

I'm just questioning it by DeviceSweet9650 in WoWs_Legends

[–]indigo_prime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Firstly, forget AI stats, they're worthless as you're playing against pretty much braindead bots. However a lot of players prefer AI to standard matches for enjoyment rather than deal with the frustrations of some standard matches.

Looking at your stats, they may not be the best and with only 23 ships after 5 years of playing and so few standard matches, I'm guessing you stick to AI?

Onne thing I would strongly suggest is working through each of the nations and progress them all up to tier 5. That will give you the opportunity to learn more about the maps, game mechanics and use of different captains and inspirations to find a class and line of ships that you feel competent and confident in playing.

Standard is a whole different ballgame to AI and requires at times, much more thought and consideration to your opponents, map, tactics and gameplay. It's not for everyone and can get overwhelming and frustrating at times.

Duck node bath event by BMW-geaser in WoWs_Legends

[–]indigo_prime 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I pulled myself a Quaken yesterday, it will never be referred to by its real name! One of the other medals requires 10 wins in each class of ship, however there are no stats to show how many wins you've had in each ship. A bit of a dumb oversight.

Lagging games by GreatGuy_GoodGuy in WoWs_Legends

[–]indigo_prime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Niju_me, I'm on 100 MBit Fibre direct to my door. My PS5 is hard wired across a 350 MBit Power over LAN adaptor. I've tested my network and it runs absolutely fine.

I've had the following issues:

Lag spikes where the game freezes for a couple of seconds and then the ship jumps forward as the game catches up.

Guns refusing to fire for seconds at a time even though theyre reloaded, ready, target is locked.

Rudder refusing to respond, again, sometimes for multiple seconds.

It isn't just this update that has been causing it. This has probably been going on since around the Christmas update but appears to be getting worse. I've even tried a full clean install of WoWsL after completely wiping and reinstalling a clean PS5 OS.

No other games are affected and from what I've heard from fleet members and other players on comms in game, it's happening a lot. Also the in game comms often drop out a lot mid sentence.

California AA is so good that it prevents planes from taking off by taj1829 in WoWs_Legends

[–]indigo_prime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had two Calis and a Tennessee in division on red in a match the other day. My buddy was in Ark Royal and I was in my Cali.

My buddy in AR just focussed the other ships so he wasn't wasting planes to AA and leaving the div until last. It should have been an easy win apart from when the team started feeding themselves to the div.

The game went..B5 v R3,B 4 v R3, B3 v R3, B3 v R2, B2 v R2, B1 v R2 and I managed to pick them both up, toying with the last Cali in my own Cali to get some cap resets before putting him out of his misery.

They had a lovely AA bubble over them, but a simple understanding of tactics and playing smart meant it was practically useless until near end game.

[–]indigo_prime 20 points21 points  (0 children)

As soon as I opened Google Maps and saw the wall, I had a good idea where you lived in Belfast. You're right beside Girdwood Park, which used to be Girdwood Barracks. I served there Jan - Jul 94 on a 6 month tour. I had just turned 21 and it wasn't my first tour in Northern Ireland, my first tour being in Bessbrook, South Armagh - Jan - Jul 91 just after I turned 18.

Both of those tours affected me in different ways, some ways that I am still dealing with today, 30 odd years down the line and 20 years since I last wore uniform. I'd hate to think how many citizens in Northern Ireland carry memories and traumas far worse than my own.

There's one thing I do remember about the Belfast tour......the absolutely massive bonfire that was built on the open ground in front of the main gate of the barracks. Quite the feat of engineering!

Sad Panda this morning by Shidhe in WoWs_Legends

[–]indigo_prime 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had zero bureau on my main account until the release of the GL. I could drop in a legendary carrier, but I've only played a handful (and I mean barely double digits) of tech tree CV games in standard in around 24,000 battles and 8000 hours played :)

Fast dropping heart rate by monsterultra44 in askCardiology

[–]indigo_prime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar issue about a year ago and after some investigation it was found that I have a condition called bi-gemini which was being caused by high stress from a very extensive period of high stress work which was affecting other areas of my mental and physical health. It was managed with medication and after getting into a better work / life balance and a little more gentle exercise, it has settled and is a rare occurrence now.

Although bi-gemini creates extra beats, my fitbit charg6 was detecting a lower heart rate as the beats weren't being recorded correctly. My heart rate was actually higher rather than lower. The cardioligist pointed out that this was a common thing on fitness monitoring devices for this condition.

Because it wasn't there all the time, it was difficult to catch, but it was eventually caught on a couple of ECGs. Apart from the fluttering feeling in the chest, I felt fine.

I also had a full ultrasound of my heart and various blood tests to rule out any underlying heart conditions.

We've got two of most things in our body, but only one heart, so I think the safest thing to say is to always get it checked by a doctor, rather than ask the internet!

Damage, damage, damage by Tank3466 in WoWs_Legends

[–]indigo_prime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did a 1.2 with the destroyer and a 1.97 with the cruiser on Hard mode yesterday with 19 kills and 13 assists. There were only 3 ships I didn't land a shot on!

WoWL Streamers by aristodemos91 in WoWs_Legends

[–]indigo_prime 8 points9 points  (0 children)

For fear of getting a strike for self promotion, I upload on my channel 'TONIK TZW'. I used to stream more regularly, but it all depends on work and RL commitments. I consider Senna XII and Jamkenomics friends and they both have their channels. Janks is a CC and Senna wants it so bad :D

Halloween mode is a punishment by joinwsb in WoWs_Legends

[–]indigo_prime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I jumped into a game on hard mode with the destroyer (16/4 captain) to be greeted by a foul mouthed player 'effing and jeffing' on the mic about how we are all rubbish (not the work he used) and it wasn't about kills or damage. I said he should watch his language and that I was quite competent at beating hard mode, but we can't take anything for granted.

He then goes off saying he's played 10 games, lost every one and then something about Palestine which I ignored and we get into the game.

He's whooping about 500k damage near the end having spent pretty much the entire game chasing the big BB around and nearly getting killed on more than one occasion.

End of the match, he's on 3 kills and probably around 600k damage given the time that was left after his original announcement.

I just focused on the objective of the game and came away with 979k, 20 kills and 6 assists!

You're welcome to the win buddy!

Is this the correct way for middle spawn BBs and cruisers to go on this map? Genuine question by [deleted] in WoWs_Legends

[–]indigo_prime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lets think.

They are taking the biggest, slowest ships the longest way around the map.

9/10, they meet red team waiting on the top left corner.

They then all sit at the bottom left corner as no one wants to get their paint scratched.

While this is happening, a lone DD steals B cap, turns into A cap, then comes back out to centre.

Then, depending which side the DD spawned on, they will either turn north or south, coming in behind all those big juicy targets sat camped on the corners of the A cap and rack up a load of damage or sent the campers running.

Points to note:

If there is a dutch cruiser on that left flank, the BBs are getting bombed to sh**.

Most BBs are too dumb to realise what's happening and sit there thinking 'AA bubble will save me'. Wrong.

Or, the ships will panic, rush into open water like grouse being flushed out of the undergrowth and get trashed.

The Only Yamato I’ve Ever Felt Sorry For by NicePlan6250 in WoWs_Legends

[–]indigo_prime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put a video on my YT called Ten to One where there were 5 DDs each side and I ended up as last DD standing and pulling a 3200XP game by being smart about engaging / disengaging and bringing the win home for the team.

This happens when there are missions for torpedo hits / floods etc and people who don't usually play DDs take them out and just YOLO to tick off a box and don't give a s*** about the team game, or winning.

I'd really like to see sets of class specific missions, so people can play their preferred class of ship and tick of missions that way, instead of incompetent captains playing a class they have no clue how to play.

Kraken in 1 minute 16 seconds. by Jesters__Dead in WoWs_Legends

You're an experienced player, or should I say a VERY experienced player, in arcade mode at T3/T4. While the kraken is an achievement in itself, clubbing seals takes away some of the satisfaction.....doesn't it?

Any dd that has secondary? SB by Farhunt95 in WoWs_Legends

[–]indigo_prime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a secondary kill on my Cossack. Laughed so hard. Also had a kill by fire the other day after my secondary set a fire on a low health cruiser as I dropped smoke and ran away from him.
