Ya know it's one of those things I asked about a while back and nothing came of it, but now that we've got these missions and I'm accumulating all this stuff I don't need or want, I'd like to sell it off, but I can't since I have no depot interface to sell it FROM.

 

Come on WG, I know you said it was low on the totem pole over a year ago, but come on. This is killing me here.

I wouldn't mind being able to sell all the "cause flooding but explode more" flags I got in a super container yesterday. I haven't been more disappointed in a SC...

JC nullifies the debuffs completely.

 

Or use 'em on CVs, since they can't asplode get detonated :trollface:

You do know that flying the Juliet Charlie flags you get from Detonations  totally remove any chance of detonation even when you fly the Juliet Whiskey Unaone and India X-Ray flags, right? Sez so right here: http://wiki.wargaming.net/en/Ship:Consumables#Signal_Flags

I've no idea what you are talking about (Depot?) since you do not explain the function, but I get the idea. Please note that many here have never played WOT so all WOT references taken for granted are a mistake. Always explain what you mean.

Know what ya mean. There's a workaround, but it's clunky and time consuming: Equip, Sell, Repeat. One item at a time

Some folks here haven't played WOT and are mysteriously unable to learn anything about it. Could you clarify for these poor souls?

The point I was making is what alex made and I should of been more clear. During these campaings I've been getting modules that I have absolutely no use for.  Example Propulsion Mod 2.  I'll never use it, so it just sits in lala land instead of me being able to sell the module off for credits.

 

In tanks you can do this because there's a depot you can go to and sell off old equipment from tanks, but in this game it would be say stock torps or FCS, or Modules like I just explained. They just sit there doing nothing and you can't sell them off.

 

I would like the functionality of selling this stuff off as I please.

You can sell it, just mount the modules in a free slot on a ship you arent using and then destroy the module for credits. This is useful when you unlock a new ship to check out the module stock and blow up the unused ones for monies.

Yeah, but that's an annoying way to get rid of them. Plus there's all the stock modules from ships. Only get sold off when you finish the ship(and sometimes I wonder even then). Cause WG actually did a sell off for us at one point because we had a lot of modules and hulls and such just sitting in lala land never sold. I got like 3 million credits from this.

Well that's great and all, but I don't really play any of the torpedo-centric classes. I play BBs and cruisers, and last time I checked, guns don't cause flooding, so running the flooding flags is completely pointless for me.

That happened when some modules were changed and some no longer existed so you got credit for it iirc.

Understood now, thank you. and yeah, that would be a great feature to have.

Yeah but I have ships I have kept like Bayern, Konig, Cleveland, etc where those stock modules are just sitting there doing nothing and that would be a nice addition to my bank account ya know?

Combine it with the other bomb/shell fire flag for an additional 1-2% on your divebomber's fire chances, with a flooding chance bonus for the torpedo bombers thrown in for good measure

It's more than stock modules and equipment. There are a lot of premium consumables I wouldn't mind selling. Flags and weird camo too. Personally I wouldn't sell flags or camo, but I'm sure others would if they could and I think it's kind of bullshlt that we can't choose to do it ourselves. 

 

I also don't see why I should have to lose the ability to quickly and easily sell my unwanted equipment, and I don't see why I can't be permitted to sell stock modules myself. Frankly, anything that takes away transparency  (like "automatically" but unverifiably selling stock parts when I sell a ship, which also conveniently means if I don't sell a ship, I don't get the return I should be getting) on an important issue (such as cash flow in a game where the major obstacle to progression is cash flow limitation) isn't a feature I consider to be even acceptable, let alone good.

I certainly wouldnt mind a depot or equivalent UI to make selling these things easier. However I can understand why it's a low priority, I think WG said the depot was one of the least utilized features in WOT as most players rarely accessed it and for now they want to prioritize development on features that will be more widely used.

Okay so it is low on their list of features.

But just think of how much loot you will have to sell when they finally do it. 

Think of it as your Wargaming Social Security Account forcing you to save so you have plenty of loot when you are an old timer with every T10 ship in the game.

 <sigh> Totally ignoring that India X-Rays increase fire chance, and that several BBs and cruisers have torps too. . .

I VERY rarely use HE in my BBs, and I do use the torps on the BBs that have them, but the flag is still useless to me. Torps are not my bread and butter, so I would rather sell them than use them for what tiny benefit they might give me. So kindly F off with your "wit". :)

Betcha between missions and containers giving us that stuff to sell, it'll never happen now...
