Just have experienced the same twice in a row.Please mark leaks with spoiler tags, like this: Smolensk is balanced!. I actually placed ahead of a BB and our carrier on the leaderboard. I hope they did not think I was just being a wanker doing a secondaries-only stunt, but nobody reported me afterwards. I was frantic in chat at the beginning, apologizing to the team for my trouble. I did all that damage with secondaries, see no mains fired, on 17 ships to get the Assistant achievement. Surprisingly, I survived the match, and we 4-starred it (a support ship got sunk near the end of the op). I could also use that map to dodge torpedoes. I had to call up the old CV tactical map to be able to Ctl-click on enemy ships to focus the secondaries, which did good damage since I was using my secondary-spec Bismarck captain.

So I used the mini map to sail around and put myself in position for the secondaries to do some damage. Since I could not target anything with the main guns I could not shoot. See my ship a ways to the west of where the view is stuck at. I could not target anything with the guns, but I could still use the keyboard to control the ship movement. When the battle started, I I could not do anything to get it to go back to the view from the ship. I just came out of a bizarre Newport battle in my PEF. The other available Operations are good, Raptor Rescue has glitches though.

I was thinking of giving it a try but will have to see if the points are reset. Is it true that Operations have had their difficulty increased by increasing bot competence (hence the resetting of the prizes from each Operation), or have I just had bad luck with teams today?ĭefeat of Naval Station Newport is, in my opinion, not worth playing with random teams. At least, that's what I heard about co-op changes which made bots better at defending themselves. It appears that the bots are now much better in their gunnery than before and also better at evading torpedoes, which is taking a lot of players by surprise.

I proceeded to barely scrape by in a match with my Ranger (team got 1 star in the end, I got sunk withdrawing from the front center island after the primary attack wave came) and then get whupped in The Antique (Vast Eras, the T6 Scandinavian DD). Sounds like another free IJN 10 point commander and 1 day of premium, right? So I found out the max stars achieved was reset for Defence of Naval Station Newport this week.
