263 [RAGE] mumphred Members 425 posts 6,865 battles Report post #4 Posted December 10, 2020 There's this thing called advertisement, where a company pays money to have its products featured... Maybe you've heard of it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have 123 ships in my port.. thats not enough for a fleet? In CBs, the caller commands 7-9 ships. (It may not be the most accurate statement in advertising, but it's not completely incorrect..)

Sure, now take a multiple number out simultaneously, so as to "command...your own fleet." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2,637 [WOLF5] AJTP89 Supertester 4,603 posts 4,223 battles Report post #15 Posted December 10, 2020 "Ensuring realistic and highly accurate gameplay," Even better they show Khaba and what looks like Moskva while talking about the "realistic gameplay." Da comrade, accurate representation of mighty Soviet WWII Navy Also, the torp drop highlighted was dropped FAR past the arming point, if they wanted a cinematic view turn the UI off. This isn't quite "famous and historical Monarch" levels, but it's pretty clear those ads aren't for current players Also "command fleets of warships?" How do I do that, would be really nice if I could control my teammates Yeah, looks like WG's marketing department isn't much different from every other marketing department, prone to a bit of exaggeration at times. Still though, like I said the ads aren't for current players. At least it's not a vid about Taiho, which was in the game and then removed... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
