I am against slower torpedoes to gain range - this would only encourage the fire and forget tendencies for some of the torpedo users, which would directly increase the amount of team kills in the game.

a short story how I wasted 600k: I just got enough XP to research a shiny new DD, but on my previous DD the captain has some nice skills. So I try to do as any sensible player out there: Sell old DD, sent captain to the reserves Buy new shiny DD without a captain. So far so good, but here comes the funny momment: Instead of assigning my "free" captain to my new DD, I assing the captaion of my other ship of the same nationality - there is not much to tell the two appart. An oh f**k momment - I go immediatelly to my other ship and try to get the captain back, but oh goody this time it is the reserves I am picking from, so another 200k for retrain. And as they say the third time is a charm - finally assigned the propper commander to my DD and then assigning the other commander where he belongs. Of course I have to retrain them again. So this story got me thinking: Could you please make the captain interface a bit more clear: What is his current spec Is he currently on a ship or in a reserve Put a warning dialog when you try to reasign a captain from another ship And what I actually would preffer - allow me to send a captain to the reserves and then only allow me to put captains from the reserves.

With a Carrier yes, with the normal ships I am like 99% sure that you cannot

I can try to answer for 2 and 3 For early smoke my innitail thoughts were that I can give my long range teammates some cover - I quickly realised that I need it a lot more than they do. For fire first, especially in WoT I have seen quite a few luck 1st artilery shot kills, just firing at a possible camp spot near the start of the game, so I assume here is the same idea - fire off one shot, it might hit something and there will be plenty of time to reload before we meet the enemies.
