1. Description 
Application Note: Although technically not a bug, Time, bandwidth, resource worm.

-Forced to download (v10 PT1) three separate times.  49GB x 3.  

2. How to reproduce
Requires BOTH Steam & WGGC apps running on same machine/device.

-Run Game

ORDER:  
-Setup WG PT account (and verify)
-login and enter Activation Code
-Launch Game using Steam Account information (my initial mistake during Beta 9.10)
-Authentication (of course) fails.
-Switch accounts to WG PT
-Authentication fails again at "Loggin In" pre-launch load screen.

3. Result
Primarily (not a bug), authentication on single machine with multiple accounts, really buggers up the entire works.
Not sure if this is related to my overarching AZ/AD Id's on this TPM (1.2 sha512 AUTH0 2)?  a Stretch?

NOTES: Since I do this a bit, I use separate drives for STEAM (purchased & installed) vs Candidate/A/B Pre-releases.  
Thus the reason for this problem.  Steam now locks game <dir> outside it's defined directory structure.  
Allowing ONLY either previously created STEAM <dir>, or creation of NEW <dir>.

This issue maybe such a on-off that it's a nonissue. 
Since this is my 3rd Public Test for you, it made sense to report this "time suck"

FINAL WORDS: Still attempting to resolve the game KEY issue.  Most likely related?
One the Activation Key is added (I assume unique to installation components or dlls), other instances not only will not take the key (expected), but also, web portals (when refreshed F5) will not reveal any additional or replacement keys? 

That is all.

1. Description

I couldn't open fires

2. How to reproduce
Shoot the guns. I could seem to solve this problem by shaking my mouse vigorously or switching ammo type.  

3. Result
Replay attached. I couldn't shoot my guns at ~13min facing the CV. 

Similar issues happened to me multiple times on the live server in different patches since Oct2020. My game passed integrity check.

[Ripper200]

In view of being the test server I don't know if it's a bug or a feature.
But PRINTSCREEN is not saving the image in the screenshot folder of the game's file tree.

[commando_brian]

the combat missions has no Co-op option, a Co-op option was listed 

[BenjoSamika]

I had critical  error when entering the map try to restart critical error appear again. I had to wait till the game finish. I start then I can play again.

1. Description
Cannot connect to the server if Discord is open

2. How to reproduce
Open Discord, launch WoWS

3. Result
WoWS reports "Logging In" until it times out.  Then shows connect button, but my mouse is unable to click on anything.  Have to Ctrl-Alt-Del and End Task on WoWS.

This also happens if I open Discord, and minimize it to the task bar.  I have to be completely exited out of Discord to be able to connect to the PT server.

1. Description
Emergency Repair Expert skill for BB shows +1 consumable charges to Damage Control Party.

But Damage Control Party has unlimited charges.

2. How to reproduce
Open BB skill tree and hover over Emergency Repair Expert skill

3. Result
Misinformation in the skill description. This is a UI issue and not evident in game. Skill description should be updated.

Description:

Secondaries firing automatically even though ship not targeted

How to reproduce:

Focus captain skills on obtaining secondaries target ship by holding left control and and left clicking on mouse

Result:

This might be working as intended, but before this update when you targeted a ship for secondaries they would only fire at that ship and never come on automatically in any other direction or at any other ship unless you respected captain points and turned that feature off. I target a ship on test server, it shoots at , but also fire at other ships out both sides or if orginal target is dead. What would be great if this was actually intended, it fired at the targeted ship but if you forget to select a ship they also fire just with less accuracy.

1. Description
Skill Gear Specialist for Andrew Cunningham is the ONLY skill which applies, yet the skill is "blocked" on the main screen.  If you open "All Skills" then the skill appears for each vessel, but will NT let you select it.

2. How to reproduce
Try to select the skill.

3. Result
The ONLY skill that applies to Special Commander is unusable.

[GaoMachine]

1. Description
Paolo Emilio detected while Exhaust Smoke Generator in use

2. How to reproduce
When using the new command skill "Swift in Silence" and keep undetected and using engine boost , the Max. speed will over 60kts.
And a enemy ship near in original detect range 

3. Result
The ship will detected by enemy. That's doesn't match the description on "Exhaust Smoke Generator"
 

That is all.

Yes, I know that's not a bug.
Tips for lazy developer, just modify the text on the consumable to "...remain undetected under 60kts..."

1. Description
Unique Commander Yamamoto is missing his second 'specialized' skill under the cruiser tab. Previously he had 'Preventative Maintenance Skill' as a second skill.  I checked his other special skill, 'Grease the Gears', and this remains constant at 20% for all ship types.

2. How to reproduce
Select Yamamoto as your captain, select 'all skills', cycle left and right through the ship type tabs.

3. Result
This is a significant nerf for IJN cruiser captains.  He should retain two special skills for each ship class or his 'Grease the Gears' skill should be improved for cruisers otherwise players who worked very hard for him are being short-changed.

[Rictor_Scale]

1. Description
Missing feature from re-work?  Unique Commander Sansonetti has no second 'specialized' skill under the BB tab.  This will be a growing issue as Italian BBs are expanded.  Based on Wargaming's release notes about their intentions with skill consistency the skill rework should include at least two special skills per Unique Commander applicable per ship type.

2. How to reproduce
Select Sansonetti as your captain, select 'all skills', cycle left and right through the ship type tabs.

3. Result
The BB tab shows only one selectable special skill, 'Gun Feeder'.

[Rictor_Scale]

1. Description
The capability to view all captains for all nationalities at once seems to be missing.

2. How to reproduce
In 0.9.12 from port click a ship, then click the captain's image, then a list will appear underneath with all the captains you have (with captains from the selected ship nationality at the top of course).  In 0.10.0 doing the same thing brings you to a screen with details only for that Capt.

3. Result
This master list was an excellent way to review all your captains, dismiss & make room in the reserves, quickly see gaps where you may want to buy captains in a current promotion, and figure out how you want to spend Commander Points across your entire Capt list.

[Rictor_Scale]

1. Description
The description for the 'Top Grade Gunner' skill is confusing and can benefit from clarification.  Does "the standard detectability range" mean they are in your ship's detect range, you are in their detect range, someone else has spotted them within either's detect range but you can fire on them via your spotting plane, etc.

2. How to reproduce
On the 'Skills in Detail' hover over the Top Grade Gunner skill. 

3. Result
Player confusion on exactly when & where this skill takes effect.  Try to put yourself in the shoes of someone reading this skill for the first time.

[Laoski_Ronin]

1. Description
Upon network disconnection in queue, the game wouldn't get back into game after reconnecting.

The player would be kicked out of game client after the game ends. 

2. How to reproduce

Enter the battle in a division. Disconnect the network upon dropping into a game. Then try to reconnect. 

3. Result
After reconnection, the player would be sent to port instead of to the game he/she just queued into. 

The ship the player used in queue can be selected and dropped into a new game. 

The player would appear AFK for the entirety of the game he disconnected from. After that game ends, the player would be disconnected from the server and won't be able to reconnect for a while. 

After reconnection, there would be no xp change on that ship, meaning the data from that AFK game was not sent to the server.  

The division mate would see the player still in the division whilst from the player's perspective he/she is no longer in division, neither could he rejoin the division.

I have been able to get on the PTS, but few of my ships are on the PTS. No Premium's like my Jean Bart, Mass, Salem, or tech trees like GK, Petro etc. What did I do wrong?

The PTS is a snap shot of your live server account, the information from the live server is likely from before you had those ships in your port.
I've had ships on the PTS and then the next time they weren't there. Threw me for a loop too.

So, I cannot get my premium/tech tree ships on the PTS at all?...What a bummer. That means I can't test my GK secondaries with the new commander skills for example. 

Than ks for the reply....

Actually your statement is incorrect, i just acquired a ship that has a consumable damage control party, maybe it is a test one but its on live server and the first ive seen of it, maybe they are gonna make them all like in the future. Just saying apparently they do exist

[Nordlaender]

I don't know if this problem has been brought up as a bug or not, so I am placing it here.

Description:

Loss of Engine Boost time while not actually using engine boost (pressing the W key).

How To Replicate:

While in flight, pressing on the S key to slow planes down (throttle back) will deplete Engine Boost time. (Look at the speed dial and see it disappear.)

Result:

Substantial Engine Boost time is lost for no reason other than that the planes are flying slower than cruising speed.  This hampers maneuverability of planes in flight by wasting precious Engine Boost time.  Ships suffer no loss of acceleration power just because they chose to slow down at some point.

If this is a bug, then please fix it.  If it is not a bug, then please explain the rationale behind it.

Thanks!

1. Description

Single fire torpedoes do not work on Minotaur.

2. How to Reproduce

To replicate this, go into battle with Minotaur, press 3 to go into torpedoes, press three again to go into the single fire mode. Click to launch torpedoes.

3. Result

When they are launched, it should be single fire, but instead, it is the whole tube being launched.

1. Description
Change commander bug

2. How to reproduce
I assigned a commander to Colbert. Clicked on Change Commanders. The game showed "no vacant places left in reserve" whilst the reserved showed 0/40

3. Result
Unable to change the commander even with available reserve space.

1. Description
when selecting flags on the gk if you dont let the flag load on the ship before clicking the next flag it disconnects you.

2. How to reproduce
1.  Take gk 2. put on 1 flag and immediately add another.

3. Result
What's the result of the issue.

before adding either flag the game disconnects you

That is all.
