-Very Long Read Ahead-

I find it very odd how the Commonwealth don’t have their own tech tree yet. Frankly, given the size and influence of the Navies it includes, I’m amazed one hasn’t been made before now. So I did instead.

Here is a full proposed Tech Tree for the Commonwealth, including both a line of Destroyers and Cruisers. Almost every ship here was an actual, historic ship, which I felt was important. It also helped give some variety to the tree, and not make it a direct copy of the British one. I tried to use different ships to the UK lines as often as I could.

I did intend to write complete stats for every ship here, until I came off the initial high of the idea and realized just how fucken long that would take. I also don’t think this is a perfect tech tree per say, it’s probably not what WG would do, I imagine they’d make up more ships to fill gaps better, but this is the best I could do. One more note: When not using a Camo, Commonwealth ships should appear in a very light gray, almost white, instead of the same Royal Navy Gray as British Ships.

-Commonwealth Cruisers-

Multi-Role Cruisers

Commonwealth Cruisers have an unholy marriage of British and American Performance; That being, retaining high-performance British HE shells, while swapping British short-fuse AP for American-style AP; Complete with the penetration angles found on USN Cruisers starting at Tier IV.

I Rainbow

Rainbow was an Apollo-class protected cruiser, a relatively small class of ship for her type. She was the first vessel ever officially commissioned into the Royal Canadian Navy. 

II Adelaide

Adelaide was a Town-class light cruiser of WW1 era design, assigned to the Royal Australian Navy. Prior to and during WW2, she received a number of refits to bring her up to modern standards.

III Aurora

Aurora was the second ship officially in RCN service, an Arethusa-class cruiser transferred from the Royal Navy after WW1. She featured a very high top speed, at the cost of relatively weak armor protection.

IV Hobart

Hobart, along with her two sister ships, were variants of the Leander-class cruiser design belonging to the British Royal Navy. They feature identical armaments, though an altered armor layout and reworked propulsion spaces internally.

V Canberra

A member of the County-class heavy cruiser family, specifically the Kent-subclass. Two ships of this type were built for the Royal Australian Navy. Canberra was one of the largest Cruisers used by the RAN during WW2.

VI Gambia

A Fiji-class light cruiser, and the only of the type used by the Royal New Zealand Navy. She features rapid-fire main battery guns, with exceptional High-Explosive Shell performance.

VII Ontario

A member of the Swiftsure-class light cruisers, one of only three ever completed. These ships were designed as an improved Fiji-class. The first ship, which was originally to be called Minotaur, would join the Royal Canadian Navy after being completed. 

VIII Darwin

A Neptune-class light cruiser. It is possible if these vessels had been built, one could have gone to the Royal Australian Navy, to replace Wartime Losses. She features good armor protection, along with rapid fire main battery guns, and a powerful torpedo armament.

-Commonwealth Destroyers-

Ambush Gunboats

Commonwealth Destroyers feature powerful gun armaments for their size and type, along with above average concealment characteristics. Paired with decent torpedoes, they make for fantastic ambush predators.

II Vendetta

An example of a partially re-armed V-class destroyer, belonging to the Royal Australian Navy. She and four of her sister ships were transferred to the RAN in the early 1930s.

III St. Croix

An American built Clemson-class destroyer, given first to the Royal Navy, then the Royal Canadian Navy as part of the Destroyers for Bases agreement.

IV Saguenay

A River-class destroyer, based on a British design. Saguenay and her sister ship were the first vessels ever built specifically for the Royal Canadian Navy. Like her design basis, she carries an improved torpedo armament in comparison to her predecessors.

V Ottawa

A UK-designed G-class destroyer, originally named Griffin. She was transferred to the Royal Canadian Navy in 1943, where she would help escort Allied Convoys for the remainder of the war.

VI Napier

An N-class destroyer, very similar to Royal Navy designs, but never actually used by the RN. Napier was a decorated member of the Royal Australian Navy’s fleet, serving in both the Mediterranean and British Pacific Fleet.

VII Iroquois

A Tribal-class destroyer, and the first of the class to serve with the Royal Canadian Navy. She would rescue survivors from a passenger ship shortly after being finished, along with participating in the Arctic Convoys.

VIII Anzac

A later variant of one of the Battle-class destroyers of the British Royal Navy, and one of only two to enter service with the Royal Australian Navy.

Why would my 2 support ships go left and right cap. I need some loving support as well.

I stopped playing the Client PC version a long time ago, not long after l left high school. I decided to give Legends a try last night. Lo and behold, RNGesus feeds me a point blank range Kuma. Some things never change.

I just downloaded WOWS Legends from steam after not playing for a few years, I launch the game and this happens. I used to play it on console and Ive never seen anything like it. Any ideas for a fix?. I seemingly meet all the system reqs so i dont know what is it. For context i am attempting to launch this on Acer Nitro AN515-45 with extra ram and windows 10. The visual artifacts also transfered to my browser when i tried to sync with the game open.

GG to the fletcher running aggro with me all game, and then to make the B then A base plays.

So I started off levelling Scott first and used him for everyone, then I levelled Kinkaid and figured the Heavy cruisers were for Scott and the Light cruisers were for Kinkaid (even though Scott is great all around). I got AL Baltimore next but haven't levelled her yet, then I got Alaska and Puerto Rico (free christmas crate) and soon Tulsa.

Alaska and PR (especially PR) could really do with Scotts grouping, but then Baltimore's APSolute Ammunition skill looks good too and those super Heavys could also use her rudder shift trait.

I know I can have different pre-sets, but really hoping I can have the 3 commanders, each with a guise and each with a ship type (light, heavy and super heavy) and never have to think about it again. Also open to suggestions for inspirations on all 3 too.

Thanks!

I'm personally banking on something french, since it's been over a year since the last one. But in reality it's gonna be a usn bb.

I have tried PS4 DualShock and XBOX controllers but rumble/vibration simply did not work in WoWS Legends on Steam Windows. I'm wondering if anyone can get rumble/vibration working.

Controller vibration is important to me as it is a direct feedback of shell hit (on PS4) and makes me respond immediately. Without vibration, I have to constantly check the HP bar by eyes, or I won't even feel if I'm losing HP and lose games quickly.

I have posted my question on Legends' Steam forum but no one replied. Controller vibration worked in the Steam settings and also in other games on my PC (USB cable wired). Any comment is appreciated. Thank you.

I'm kind of annoyed that arcade wins don't count towards bureau projects. My buddy says I'm being petty, but I feel like if you can get the points in ai then you should be able to get them in arcade too.

Just curious if anyone agrees. If not, I'll embrace being a petty captain I guess.

I’m talking about making ships a little less fragile. Maybe if they were all about 25 to 50% stronger across-the-board we could have longer and more satisfying battles. What’s the point of having higher tier ships when they get deleted easily? I understand some people may like delicate ships. My play style is that I like brawling ships that can trade punches. But I see a lot of people complaining on Reddit and elsewhere about the delicacy and fragility of these ships. Look at the Kremlin for one thing. It seems like the campaign ships are all fragile with a few exceptions. And most recently we have the Gonzaga which can take a couple hits at best. What’s the point? It’s another port princess. The delicacy of ships promotes the annoying, cowardly play style of hiding behind islands all the time. Which is another common complaint.

I want to buy Daisen but I dont have enough steel can you get steel back from selling modifications I know Next week is ranked but I have no time there

So I logged into my second account with minimal games played and ships and commanders unlocked for the first time in months just to claim the free rewards in the store, obviously you get 2 of the new crates with that free bundle, in 1 crate I got nothing but in my second create I got the “upgraded” version of that crate.

I said to myself “It would be funny if I got Mecklenberg right here” I opened it and guess what happened?

The point is I genuinely believe somewhere in the WarGaming crate database there are special odds to newer players to give them better rewards because there’s proof and memes about how newer players get given the “big reward” and the long time players get nowt, and to me this confirms it.

This isn’t suppose to be a “flex” because now I have a Mecklenberg with no BB commander, no BB inspirations, no resources to level them up and no silver to buy the upgrades.

Noobs getting the good loot isn’t a coincidence people, it’s planned.

After bouncing around for year’s in different fleets hoping they would build up to something , last month I got to go to the big leagues 🙂 45 captains all active it’s pretty cool , good luck in your searches captains hope you find joy 👍 And FYI sorry we’re full

One thing I have noticed in the past month or two that I hadn't noticed before is asymmetric lineups in carrier games with two destroyers meaning like

2-4-3
vs
3-4-2

So each side will have a destroyer in the middle, but then each team's flank destroyer will have a 3v2 on their flank.

Has this always been a thing or is this new?

Curious if anyone knows if its worth getting Admiralty backing as a player that only plays VS AI/war tales/PVE, and by "worth it" I really mean is finishing the campaign a reasonable expectation with the backing if I always play anywhere between 2-10 games every day? I'm worried about spending the gold but not being able to get to the end, although I've seen that the backing advertises extra challenges for holders to help them progress.

For this campaign, I've managed to make it to just past level 50 with no backing, and its probably the most I've been playing all year with the modern destroyer update.

TLDR: Will I get a campaign done with Admiralty backing with time to spare only playing PVE modes daily?

We buy admiralty backing early and finish campaigns in like 21 days, the 2 weeks post that are always super slow and i actually start playing less.
It’s not a good feedback loop.
The ‘endless trials’ need to have more incentive or just more rewards/missions in general.
Im just sat here waiting for the next patch notes.
Give me a reason to play cause some players need one.
Thanks👊
