WoWS: Flamu Removed from CC Program

~ Sebastianul ~ 9 Comments

Quoting his Twitter:

„I have just been informed I have been removed from the CC program for tweets that they disagree with as well as stat shaming. I knew the day would come with my criticism of the disastrous CV and Commander rework, and honestly, I don’t mind at all. Freedom, flolo unleashed boys!”

Note: he is the biggest, most popular (by subscribers) WoWS influencer. (112000 Youtube, 11 k+ Twitter).

He also got mail that WG noticed 7 stat shaming cases, and this tweet:

Sources also tell that WG also warned CCs and Supertesters that they could not talk about the Flamuu kick from CC and also put this information on the NDA channel so that they could not talk about it.

Sandbox 2021: Progressive badges and Crew levels

~ Sebastianul ~ 20 Comments

Upon reaching Level 75, Skill Points can no longer be earned, and the Elite Progression (Professional Expertise) will be unlocked for the Commander.

With each new level of Professional Expertise, the crew will receive a small increase to their vehicle handling level. This is the sign of a well-trained crew.

The crew will also receive a special progressive badge that can be applied just like any other. The badge has no national affiliation, but it will change its appearance as the crew reaches each new stage of development.

Detailed Crew 2.0 Overview

~ Sebastianul ~ 44 Comments

Made by our reader KSA:

I want to draw attention to the new CREW 2.0 changes. Because if we let it through the vast majority of the playerbase won’t benefit from it.

I want to show my conclusions with a 4 skilled and 42%ed crew. It’s an ~average crew in my opinion.

With the help of ” https://wiki.wargaming.net/en/Crew ” I was able to reproduce my exact previous crew in the new point system.

First of all I would like to show the differences without Instructors because they weren’t in the game until now.

You can notice a huge difference, the crews are the same but now it has half a second longer reload, significantly lower view range.

When I add 4 Instuctors with Coherence extra skill which is equal to the old BiA it’s still worse than before.
