Is Training mode "safe" now?

Dhansak's Photo Dhansak 14 Apr 2021

Hi All

 

I wanted to test a few things out without mucking up any actual humans' games so was going to try the Training option with just bots to irritate.....

 

However I found an old post that had several people functionally locked out from using certain planes that had gone into a "cannot be repaired" state whilst in training battles. As I recall, these folks had had this issue hit them quite awhile ago but was only relatively recently resolved for them by WG.

 

Is this bug a thing of the past or is it still a current issue?

 

Thanks.

There is only one great danger in Training mode: if you disconnect in the middle of the battle, sometimes the server will "lock" your plane in the hangar as damaged and unable to repair.

 

Pay great attention when exiting all the battles there and returning to normal hangar, do it carefully and by the book.

 

Other than that, all works fine.

Do your test in normal game mode but at low tier. If it's not working fine you will not loose so much.

Hi Finitan - yes indeed.

 

But I was more concerned over messing up other people's games - even at low tiers!  Not really bothered about my own stats. Also come to think of it, I am guessing that there is a pause mode in a bot only training game? Could be very handy for changing settings on the fly and experimenting with things. Hmmm....
