The opening music- I got excited that it was going to be a step by step on how to make a traditional Amish chair using early period hand tools.
But the ensuing video was great as well.
Even better: the ship model that it shows!
With your host, Norm Abramson.
lol . . .
Lol, it sounds like some sort of intro for a DIY program.
This.
This is golden.
music makes me feel like I'm going to watch Norm at the Yankee Workshop XD
THATS what it was making me think of!! Thank you!
Quick thing about running lights mod: yes, it is borderline cheat, but on one hand it does have a slight delay (light changes 3-4 seconds after the ship has already changed behaviour), and it also helps low-end pcs running the game on low graphic where the water and ship settings aren't enough to give a clear idea of whether or not the ship is moving or not
I have to play on the minimum most settings and on certain maps I literally cannot tell if theyre moving or if its just the water, so that would help vastly
Great video. It's just sad that it takes third party CC's to have to show this off, as a lot of players aren't aware of a lot of these settings. This is something that WG really should look into for some sort of tutorial. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of players are struggling with the game simply because they don't have it set up correctly.
Wg should have put i chase vid on their notice board or something
Absolutely. A lot of the settings should be default. There is much information and by default the games show barely any of it. On top of that, some mods are nearly must have.
Thanks for the series, iChase, I don't need it cause I've been playing since beta, but a lot of players will benefit from it.
most of these settings should be on by default, also the minimap bound options are rubbish and should be revisited with a menu tab...
It's your reward for being active and seeking improvement
@@rhystillo Learning basics of the game shouldn't be a reward... It should be a vital skill that all players should know.
Wow I never knew of these mods. This is what I call 100% cheating. Are Steam players even able to insert mods?
Hey ran into you in a random game, didn't know you made vids. Thanks duder
9:11 Oh great i've cheating all this time xD
Been eager to see a new game guide outside of WG. Looking forward to future episodes. Thanks bro!
I'm working on it :D
6:35 That's why I prefer the 'adaptive' setting for 'Alternative interface mode'. All you have to do is press 'alt' when you want to check ship name on the minimap. I believe the shell timer is always visible, at least in bino view.
Modstation link for those who don't know.
worldofwarships.com/en/content/modstation/
Speaking of mods:
WoWS is unplayable without weeb mods.
Dang ichase, your training tutorials are first class, I never knew about this WOW Mod station, I always learn so much from your videos, I hope you'll cover destroyer play in this series, cause I struggle with my DD games.
OK, I'm at a bit of a loss here, as I am trying to figure out how to make modstation work. I've installed it, pointed it to my game client, it sees it, and choose the nomogram reticle, click play and the game loads, but no mod... it's not working, or, I'm doing something wrong... any sort of help would be most appreciated...
I would recommend to show the circle on the minimap, which indicates the detectability range by air. It helps when there are aircraft in the game. You can more easily estimate when you will be spotted by aircraft and you may be able to avoid it. Additionally, on ships where you use a full secondary build, displaying the range of the secondaries can be useful too. I would not recommend to use all circles, as more circles make it harder to identify the relevant information, as the interface gets overloaded.
eh, i like seeing everything
but i understand why some could see some of it being over whelming
I use all I got used to it. I like know when I should pop my aa priority sectors.
i want to know how you got that....select client , mods, settings page up
"edit" wait, did you forget about the "show last known position". Or am i blind? Cause that one is imho the most important of all settings :D
Well now i atleast know why a yama hit my GK perfect midship with her first salvo at 24km, even though i was running at half speed straight towards him. I wonder what they drunk when they allowed some of those mods o.0 3 lights and you have 4 speeds. Just make it obvious for everyone than...
Hey I know your busy but I have a question. I downloaded the mod station like you told us about but I can’t select a game client or anything nothing comes up when I hit refresh and I can’t seem to figure out what to select when I hit the (+) in add a game client. Any help would be so appreciated! Happy thanksgiving hope to hear back from you
I'm wondering the same thing, must be missing something.
Click into My Computer, then click on c drive, then games, click on WoW..
Ya I don’t have that in the client list options... wows isn’t in my drop down menu anywhere it says it’s an application and I can’t find it to select it so I can’t get mod station to work
so ur trying to tell me that my azur lane commanders are non essential???!
How do I find the Mod Manager? That would be a great tip.
Look up at his description about the video under his logo, the link is there.
this will be a fine addition to my knowledge
Okay fine! I launched the Mod Station from the Mod Station installation program "Finish" Window and selected many of the things you pointed out. I also selected Captain Skills and don't like the extra "clutter" on my game screen because I really already know what the captain's skill are before going into battle and don't really need it displayed for the entire battle. Now how exactly do I turn it off? I don't know where the Mod Station got stored and IT DIDN'T CREATE A DESKTOP ICON TO LAUNCH IT! Evidently it is too much to ask that it be capable of being launched from the Game Center like common sense says it should be since it is WG approved!
If I use File Explorer and search "MY PC" and enter Mod Station in the search field; the only thing it finds in my entire PC is a .jpeg file titled OT_MOD STATION LOADER which obviously CANNOT launch the Mod Station!
Thanks Chase! They are very useful!
For me the old name "Captain's Academy" and its opening are still very cool even three years later!
And just want to make a suggestion that, it might work better if you could put a screenshot of the effects of the settings when you talk about them.
I'll go into more details in subsequent videos, as this is meant to be a series that you can watch one after another
ICHASE - I love your willingness to help us with these tutorials; but I have a very important questions pertaining to this tutorial.
1 - All too often I see players telling everybody in battle chat that they are going left or right. To interpret the information they just provided, a player has to:
A - Figure out who posted it.
B - Hit TAB to see what ship they are playing.
C - Look around your ship to find their ship if there is more than one of their ship type in game (and this only works if they're in your spotting range).
D - figure out which way their ship is heading in order to figure out what left and right actually means.
SO THE QUESTION IS THIS... Why did you not mention leaving the Rotate Minimap setting turned off AND instruct players to learn to use only the fixed directions of North (up), South (down), East (right), and West (left) when posting their intent?
I really want to use some of these essential mods but i feel somehow that i make the game kinda easier for me?
It actually feels like im playing with cheats against players who never heard of these mods since they are not activated by default (WGs fault..). Especially the nomogram mod is like an aiming help but since i know that the dynamic crosshair is kinda fucked, i dont know if some little "cheating" thourgh mods is essential to win against good and experienced veterans who are using mods for some years. I really hate cheats but on the other side i want stay competitive as i come up to higher tiers.
Running lights mod: The Running lights mod is actually a cheat since it destroys your ability to dodge enemy shells with ship speed and quick "stops". WG should ban them asap. This is a reason why there is such a big "skill" - gap in the playerbase and why most of the matches are one-sided. It kills the balance in the game (which is very low anyways thanks to WG).
Just want to point out that if you look at a ship's smoke it will show you what it's doing Also the running lights mod has a delay
Thanks for these vids Chase, I hope that new players will find them. Too much info is not really accessible to them.
8:47 you mention you consider "running light" aka "ship moovement indicator" borderline cheat but you recommend navigator without claming it's "borderline cheat" ? Every dd except Friesland and atleast 50% of the cruisers have Running light built in their ships by default - another option is to "M-Spam" to see if the enemy ship is going forward or backwards (not useful in all situations but a decent amount of them) or you just detach your camera and fly upwards real quick to see what the enemy ship is doing - the last 2 options (M-spam / detach camera) are given by WG themselves thus definetly no illegal options - navigator tho ... you could say that every good play will know through experience if a ship is slightly coming towards him or away from him (let's say ship is angled for ~ 88° or 92° ) but new or unexperienced players might not see it as obvious - one thing that is definetly not given by wg on default is that it shows the exact number of the angle the ship you're looking at so this information is even more valuable if you know autobounce angles or pen values on different ranges etc so why would you not consider navigator borderline cheat?
Very good and informational video that definetly helps out players - i look forward to seeing more of those videos (and nitpick about tiny unimportant details Kappa )
Great Vid, iChase. It's long overdue that a CC has taken it upon themselves to do a new set of instructional videos... rather than just showing off good games and ship reviews. I'll be watching the rest of this series. Been playing the game for 4 years now and I was not aware of some of the mods you suggested. Thanks!
You forgot to mention customizable which are very useful since it shows HP of all ships in match.
a big thank you, chase.
Thanks for making these Chase! As a old player coming back this is very useful to get back into the swing of things, and hopefully improve that winrate!
Thanks for the awesome content iChase! I really need this series lol
Keep at it Scott. Don't get discouraged by what you may consider to be poor performance. The more battles you play, the more that the information displayed in this series will be second nature to you.
hmm I don't see how having the running lights mod could be border line cheating while having modes that tell you the relative angle of the enemy to yourself or seeing the exact speed of the enemy ship isn't
But nothing he showed allowed you to see the exact speed of the enemy ship
@@DeosPraetorian 10:35 ?
btw. Thanks for doing this. Looks like you have your mojo back
Having issue with this WOWS mod-stations. It installs ok except that the navigator mini does not appear to show up. I use to use Aslain's navigator centered all the time show I think I know what to expect.
'Pay to Win' - game has become a joke to play as the economy changes are killing the game. forget higher or even high mid Tiers as the game drains your credits and there is no way to keep up with the loss - UNLESS you SPEND your HARD earned. uninstalling this great game developed by robbers.
Hey, i was trying to install the same mods but the damagemeter is light grey (aka can't click it). Can you tell me what this means?
I personally CANNOT LIVE without Navigator and Flashing Light mods. I tried playing World Of Warships on Steam and I gave it up because I could not put the mods in that version!
Now I gotta ask, WHY are all those options OFF by default? Ive never understood why they did that.
My a and d steering keys are VERY sluggish (I have to REALLY hammer the keys), the wasn't when I first started playing the game about a month ago. Would be if you could help.
To me, any online multuplayer mod that is not strictly for graphics or performance is cheating. Online should just be the vanilla game available to everyone without having to go anywhere else to download mods that change the mechanics of the game to give one player an advantage over another
I've been playing this game for years and was completely unaware of the modstation. Thank you for the great series!
This may be old, but THANK YOU for this....cant believe i didnt have ANY mods!
Happy Birthday and thank you for the great info.
So for the mod pack, do you have to launch the game through the modstaton, or do you use the normal launcher?
How can any PC player get a hold of this "MOD MANAGER" for WOWs????
These pieces of information are not just "useful" but outright necessary. If they are allowed, then all players should have them as part of the game. It's stacking the deck otherwise, a tax on newbies.
You shouldn't consider it cheating if the developers & publishers are endorsing it. Plus, all ships produce smoke that shows the exact same thing.
Why would forward and reverse monitors be considered cheating? WW2 gun directors could estimate ship speed.
Ship info is also good for knowing what your ship stats are when you are grinding several ships and jumping from one to another. Forget what the detectability in smoke is when firing because you just jumped in a different cruiser. It’s on the ship info mod. It will allow you get down to that last 0.1k to eek out the last salvo before skedaddling.
Also a larger mini map will allow you to aim with the shell impact indicator better to snag that pesky ship hiding behind an island that is spotted. Just put the circle ⭕️ over the ship and send them to the deep. A mini map at the smallest setting can easily cause you to overshoot when you can’t see them from the 3rd person view.
I personally think the circle on the mini map is the worst thing WG introduced. To me it is the biggest legal cheat in the game.
Dude, just the vanilla UI changes dramatically increased my aiming and hitrate - in the very next game i hit a citadel and sunk a battleship and a carrier. You're gonna get me good!
why is the alternative interface mode off by default? its hiding sooo increddibly helpful information ..
Is the "Score Timer" removed? I found out that when I want to click on it, it it not selecting it, and before I clicked it, the selection was translucent. What do I do to fix this?
I wouldn’t call running lights a borderline cheat. While I realize WoWS is an arcade style game in the real world on board ships rangefinders would be reporting to a captain if the range to target was increasing or decreasing and based on the ships movement they could quickly calculate the approximate speed and direction of travel of the target. Running lights is also most useful against static or very slow moving targets which would have been even easier using optical rangefinders to figure out the targets approximate speed and direction.
My concern is that by calling a reasonable tool a borderline cheat, may be discouraging to some players in its use setting them up for a disadvantage since it is a WG sanctioned mod anyone of their opponents may be using that very mod against them.
To use an analogy when the germans began unrestricted submarine warfare other nations followed suit even though up until when the germans began the practice it was considered to be too dirty a move to sink ships by sub without first surfacing and giving the ships crews a chance to evacuate.
Better to just explain the mod and let people themselves draw the conclusion or not if its a borderline cheat rather than making that judgement call for them.
Otherwise great vid and bang on the money, I will be referring this vid to new players and clan mates for sure, good game
But.. you are here on his channel watching his video. He isnt expressing WG official view on things just his own and he thinks this is "borderline cheat". So as he said.. either go for it or dont , up to you.
You are the cancer of this game. You just sank deeper then any ship sunk during any world war.
Regards,
A player since closed beta
@@zera4everI hope this was not adressed to me, nor would i endorse it even for the original commentator.
Regards,
Another player since closed beta
i recommend checking your drivers if its up to date and if its not download latest version
(if your laking in fps)
I have an issue with the mod. When I launch the mod and starts downloading files it says after a while that it has no internet connection available, we'll that is wrong my internet is fine, I don't now why this happening, so could you please help me?
great stuff but imma ignore it and move on to the next vid. Not a big fan of modding in a multiplayer especialy not ones that give you advantages in a pvp centric game. But all in all great info. Now i at least know what im up against :P
tfw i downloaded wows in steam and not directly on the wows website (now cant install mods XD)
btw is there any way to transfer your wows steam version data to the original wows game???
edit: i subbed to this channel cause i really find it helpful
I have the mod zeiss binoculars, installed it from modstation but cant see any difference? Do I have to change something in settings?
This video is very good but how in the world do you get to the Mod Station? You didn't say and I've never heard of it. I couldn't find it anywhere on the game.
Can someone tell me where do i find all those settings, cuz the settings interface is different now. Thanks in advance
Hello I'm a new player but I have a bit low end pc does the graphic matter for fights
Thanks mate. Really usefull. I'm just starting
I have tried downloading the mod station and it does not populate any clients. I have not been able to find anything about this anywhere. Has anyone else had this problem?
Correct if I'm wrong. But it seems to me they have removed navigator?
With Aslains you have to re-install it everytime there is an update. Is the same true for ModStation?
as far as I know you don't have to. Advantage of coming from (or sponsored by?) Wargaming itself, I suppose.
You have to open the modstation nd update it, it takes 1 minute tops.
Why the score timer is not a default feature of the game is beyond me.If you see this iChase you might ask them why ?
I installed the mod client, the only problem is I can’t find the game client to start it
How to remove line in sniping mode? I want only thd middle crosshair. 4:11
Playing Bliitz as good as your comments are that have no revalence to me
I was just about to ask you about these yesterday on stream. good video!
Whats up with the volume difference with the speech vs the intro?
I find a lot of the information that you provide is useful and often correct least I find it helpful.
Can I get these on console or do I just have to be a lil worse than pc just for playing console
hey thanks for the vids bro you are helping me out big time and my game is improving
How do i get all the ships display like your at the lobby screen?
Great that you make an updated beginners guide! Much needed I feel, in the last half year. :) But I got one issue that is the use of MODs.. You say it yourself f.ex about the running light, and there are more options /mods that make the game close to just auto aim. As a new player, that dont want to do the work or might get tempted, to not learn the game, and get the feeling for the game. Using mods is a quick fix, and imo something that is to easy to do. And in these days, were cheating is a very known issue in a lot of games and many are used to pay themself to an advantage. Using every helping mechanic both legal and borderline legal, or moraly in a grey zone is gonna get used by many. Then its a bit disappointing, that you show such mods in your beginner guide(outside the in-game ones). When at least I want the community to have a quality and honour(?) to itself :)
I have played since Beta, I know every mechanic in the game, I know the main important traits to almost every ship. So I know what to do in almost every situation, and I know almost everytime what I did wrong when I do. I notice almost instant, if a ship moves forward or backwards in my fingertips. If a DD most likely have launched torps, or when to steer away from them before they come. Its intuition, since I played for so long. But I do mistakes. And here is where my issue with mod is, as the game need to have an element of failure. We cant always hit with every shot, or have new players get into the game with a system of guidlines around them that give them so much information that they lose that awesome feeling of mastery of WoWs. Thats what keeping me playin, that I get challenged to use my experience & knowledge :) I understand that WoWs has a steep learning curve if you get into the game today. But I hoped that you iChase cud learn beginners without showing them the easy way out.. :)
That is the same moral problem i have. I do hate the current dynamic crosshair since its kinda buggy BUT i also dislike playing with cheats that maybe the half of my enemy team never heard of. But i also dislike playing against veterans who are using all of these mods or even more. I dont know if i use them or not. I dont want to play this game in easy mode but i want to have the same fair conditions as other (better) players.
@@MyXrayz Hm, the reality is u aint gonna get from both worlds.. You just need to play the game, and be open minded when playin as iChase have said in a video before :) And use static crosshair, it will be more consistent when you use different ships ;)
After thousands of battles these hand holding Mods are redundant.
Score timer mod is grayed out and not able to be installed, someone help me pls
Can anyone tell me if the mod station can be accessed within geforce now?
With this visor my aiming went from shit to a lot better. 😱😱😱
I finished this series last week. At that time I had a 41% win ratio. {Based on 100s of games.} In the last 72 games I have played my win percent is 51%. Thanks so much for the lessons. But, watch out I'm coming for your job!
Can anyone tell me how to access the mod station he is describing?
how did you get to the mod manager?
I just love the wholesome intro music in your videos lol
some of the mods show up in the mod installer but i cant select them
Is the modstation where I can get the rough seas mod? or is it a setting?
This doesn’t work for consol
I can no longer play WoWS because I'm stuck with an old ass 32-bit PC with core 2 duos that only has 2 GB of Ram and a GT610 😞
I was really hoping that the information here and using the Wargaming Mod Station would help my game play. I thought I had everything set up with the various mods as you outlined, to give them a try and see what worked best for me. They worked great for that evening, but when I logged into WoWS two days later, the mods did not populate and I was back to playing without them. I went back to the Mod Station to check and everything is good, all the boxes for what I was using were still checked, but they just weren't populating when I logged into the game.
I usually log in using the Wargaming Console. Do I need to open up the Mod Station and load into WoWS through that each time I want to play and include the mods I've selected there?
What am I overlooking? Thanks for the video and the advise.
I downloaded the mods but can't see them in the game.
GJ iChase as usual ... couple of remarks, maybe if you recommend mods you should only recommend those that have no negative effects or bugs. F.e. shot timer mod displays the timer on EVERY detection that is not proxy ... so you might get people to think that radar/hydro only last 20 seconds ...
regarding modstation: I installed it recently (around the time patch 0.8.10 came out, I think) and I play WoWS via steam. modstation can't find the gameclient for some reason and I couldn't find a solution for this anywhere so far. Does anyone here maybe have ideas on what could be done? (thanks in advance, if so)
Lol Chase. If your goal is to become a better player then using mods would be *extremely* counterproductive. Mods does *not* make anyone a better player, they will only make the game easier. And as a result to that you will think less and thus become an even worse player than you used to be.
No, the idea of the mods is to provide you with more information so you can make better decisions because you have access to better information that is otherwise not available in game.
I started playing WoWs a little over a week ago. For the life of me, I could not figure out how to aim like the others. You're video is a great help. Just watched #1. My mindset is growth. Now I've installed the mods. After your next, one it's off to battle! Thanks!
Man, I use your tutorials a lot, and when Wargaming asked me to do a questionnaire, they asked who I watched on YT. I knew I was forgetting someone - it was you. Feel bad about that, sorry mate. You make excellent content.
Since I play on/off since the closed beta, this video added nothing to me personally, but how the *peep* is it possible, that such videos are still necessary for beginners to get their game behave a way it is playable (why is alternative mode the alternative?) It is great that you took your time and set this series up! Wargaming should reimburse you for providing a tutorial)
Many thanks "iChaseGaming" well presented with good info .... My respect to you !! keep up the good work !!
Does anyone have a link for the mod manager that he uses?
It's in the video description. Hope that helps
So which ones are the settings that help not get deleted by any semi-competent CV player?
And how do I set consistent hotkeys for the consumables so I don't accidentally trigger the hydro instead of the smoke, just because I'm in a different ship?
sometimes when i aim right , the shell is fired at left ??
