Several months ago it was posted that WG was not allowing 'One Shot Deletes" where a ship at full or near full health was destroyed in one volly. Once again that has happened to me. It does seem to be with the Perth so I am suspecting a coding issue. This time I was at 90% health when I was deleted by a battleship. No detonation, just boom, you are dead. I had taken some minor damage from a rocket plane. Can we please resolve this or adjust the RNG so I can do that? After all the last time posted about the RNG it was with my WS firing at a stationary ship under 8 Km away with zero hits in ranked battle. This is how rumors of hacks get started.

PC aside, they should go with period correct flags for Commonwealth ships or if they prefer current national flags. I noticed that http://aslain.com took out the correct German flags a while ago and Imperial Japanese flags is a separate mod when offered. Yet who have the Australians or Canadians offended?

I've done that. I'd like the Assuie National flag rather than the silly "C". I know this is not a huge thing, once the battle begins no one is looking at flags, but I think it's appropriate.

I think it is time past that WG gives the the HMAS Perth her own national colours. I happened to notice that I have a flag for Malta. If they can put out a flag for an island that has no ships in the game it is time to replace the blue "C" with the Australian flag. These are pixels and it is a simple fix. Fore and aft jacks would be nice too, but lets not go overboard.

This is how people deal with it. They let the developers know there is an issue. If it is real enough people will complain and the developers will look into it; it is just whining then they ignore it. WG is a business and they aren't going to kill their cash cow by ignoring players; that doesn't mean they jump when we scream either.

There is random and then there is absurd. I didn't post this rant because it is the first time my 19 point commanders missed a shot; it happens way too often, generally after I post negative feedback about something (this time it was premium) to be random. Coincidence? Possibly. WG sending a message to complainers? Hmmmmm .... Can't get a win in ranked to save myself, awful pairings in randoms this week. Maybe I'll go play Fallout. ;)

It is time to fix the RNG. 19 point commander firing a Warspite at a stationary QE from 9.4 Km broadside for both. Shots when fore and aft, ZERO hits. If this were the first time I'd say "meh". However during this ranked sprint I have noticed more than once that the RNG just goes and does whatever. Perth (green health bar) parked behind an island in smoke, Fuso gets an angled shot, not quite bow on, but close enough, in from over 12 Km out, Perth deleted. That happened twice. We all get that the RNG is supposed to be random, but when is random not random but broke? The hit rate under 10 Km for my WS is horrible when it should be dealing massive damage. CA from 5 Km out full salvo, 1 OP. My secondaries are doing more damage.

I'm sorry, that deal sucks. I went to the Premium shop, they didn't have it and me want me to pay an ADDITIONAL 2,500 doubloons to fix their error which they will "give" me 750 back. Nope. WG was supposed to have it up and ready. Asking me to pay an extra $6.69 to correct their mistake or because I don't play WoT is out of line.

How do I get the Warships Premium? I see the stats on my after action report but no option to purchase it, or is that delayed too?

I bought the Black Perth. I have been looking at the Perth for a while since I've want a UK premium. Very disappointing that I can't swap my UK Captains out of the Perth. Since there are no other Commonwealth ships this a disappointment. It's a Lender with HE. Next, the flag. What is this silly blue thing with a C in it?! Do some research WG! In World War 2 the Aussie's used the British White Ensign. So put the Bloody British flag on the Perth! Lastly, the camo isn't permanent?! Stop cheeping out! I coughed up $20 for a black ship and I get ... 23 one use only camos. :( Nerf them if you want, but give me my permanent black camo, a proper Aussie flag and let's make it so we can swap out UK commanders.

I would love to get my hands on a Belfast just so I can practice more with my Minno Capt., which I love to play but am just above horrible with. My tech tree says I can buy one for 8,900 doubloons or something but I'm thinking that's not true. Someone said it earlier: we need a good mid-tier English premium CL. I would keep it a bit OP: if I'm spending 2 or 3 hours of my hard work's cash on a new shinny I darn well want the best "bang" for my buck.

Round 3. Why does WG insist on clan battles for test servers? There are 350 people playing now. Try to make up a PUG clan for a battle? Just make 'em all PUGs and call them a clan. Without voice clans are pretty useless anyways.

Nope. How many T-8s do i need to feed T-10s?

Sorry WG, I work for a living. WAY too $$$ for my taste. Especially when you add there is little for a T-3 premium to do except deal with a bunch of noobs currently. I love playing my King Albert, and occasionally I'll take him out to play or my Albany or Mikasa, but $70 for a T-3. Nope.

I find the comments and feed back very interesting. Personally I have moved a 19 point commander down to seal club noobs, 'cause that's what old salts do. But what about those Albany's & King Alberts? Why not a ranked season for low tiered premiums or just low tiered ships with a 12 point of higher captain? That could be interesting.
