To be honest, I had little problems with the furutaka, although the range was abysmal. The short range really limited what I could do, and it made some fights rather one sided when people just stayed out of range. Luckily most people were stupid enough to get close and with most maps for tier 5 being rather small, it was something you could work with. It also for some reason has trollish armor from the front, not sure if a bug or not, but it can tank BB shells. I would love to see a small buff to the range of the guns, maybe 0.5 - 1km, but not more. Everything else is fine.

I see no real reason for this poll to mean anything now, as most people who voted in it did such a long time ago. Several changes have happened to several maps, and new ones have been added since then. Probably a better idea to make a new updated poll.

The captain is in the reserve. She can only be put on other ARP ships.

I really hope they address this issue fast. It is not a pleasant sound when you are wearing headphones.

Okay you two, play nice . This is not what this topic is here for.

I agree, these new sounds are not very pleasent and tend to hurt my ears.

I am having lag issues aswell. So we are quite a few with it. It happened after the patch, so something deffinetly happened.

Well, technically the Amagi is not a battleship but a battlecruiser. That's why it has the speed, it sacrafices armor for it. Getting citadelled by cruisers in an Amagi is not surprising.

From what I can tell, the seaplane fighters aren't that usefull (yet, who knows what mechanics they add in the future), but the thing with Zara is that she is not really bad, it is just that so many other cruisers are better. She does have the ability to get long range like a BB, which can be used for certain strategies, but her torpedo stat makes her much worse than most other ships in night battle.

The question is why Pola? Zara wasn't exactly that good with regards to stats. I just hope those two get a buff, because otherwise they are basicly just trophy ships there for those that like the art.

Just going to drop some information about upcoming stuff in Kancolle. There will be other food-related collaboration besides Sukiya this year. Iowa's VA is Hashimoto Chinami. There will be more abroad ships(small to large) in Kancolle kai. There will be some Iowa related equipment in the browser version. They are preparing more new abroad ships(small to large) besides Iowa in the browser version. The VA of Zara's sister "Pola" is Akasaki Chinatsu. The record of her lines has been done. She has very strong personality. They are preparing the former class destroyer sisters of Mutsuki class. There will be Kawanishi N1K and Nakajima A6M2-N. The new aircraft with the jet engine is also been prepared. They are still thinking how to put the friendly land-based aircraft into the game. The spring event this year will be a "total war" Seems like we might soon be getting for jets for the flight decks we got all the way back in summer. Also, spring event will be a "Total War", not sure if I am exited So, what are you thoughts on this?

Agreed. There is a reason WG barely says anything about new content, because if they end of changing it at one point, people will be all over their [edited]. So they tend to wait untill a few days before a patch or the day of the patch itself to reveal what is coming. Also, Ectar has stated at one of the community round ups that you should never trust any of the blogs, as they are more often than not wrong.

I keep my stats for all to see. I see no reason for me to hide them, especially since I know that people will probably just find a way to look them up anyway. Also, I find it usefull for other people I play with to see them, division mates and so on. And in all honestly, if it is to avoid getting trash talked, well I get that anyway regardless, so that makes no difference. With regards to XVM: I hate it, but not much I can do about it, unfortunately.

Well, since this thread has been revived, let's see how things have changed for me.

Hmms seems okay. I like the camo changes, but as allways it is best to wait till the patch is here.

I am signing up Chamorro if you need me, though I only have a hatsuharu.

Nice to see these back Chamorro. I will gladly sign up, though it will have to be IJN as my US are limited to tier 4 atm. Let's get this show on the road Edit: I got a question. Are we going to be using captains without any skills to prevent players with more battles under their belt from having an advantage and make it more fair or use the cheap 1 captain skillpoint you can get? Or do we just use whatever captains we have available. With regard to modifications to ship, I guess we will use what ever is on it, as I doubt people will want to use gold to remove it, or have to spend lots of credits on rebuying them.

I can't really see a problem with this. Doing damage and getting main battery hits should not be difficult (especially with a DD or CA). Ofcourse getting Hiei with full skill set could be difficult, but you could just settle for the unleveled one and level her manually. All in all I think this looks good.

At least the missions seem really easy. Then again they would have to be that, since we allready got one. And if we are going to get all the Kongo sister from ARP, then they shouldn't make it too difficult, as people will only put in so much effort to get the same ship multiple times.

I would love to see a premium CV. But it WILL HAVE to be limited in some way to prevent people who have no idea what they are doing to just buy them. Maybe do so people have to reach a certain tier with CV (tier 6, 7 or 8?). The tier at wich it will be is also important. I doubt tier 8 will be good, we allready have to many idiots in the Atagos and Tirpitz. Put them too high, and they will be useless to the team, but at the same time too low and people can maybe do too much against ships with no AA. Ofcourse, this is only a problem if there is no restriction. With proper restriction in place, the people who can buy them should be good enough and know what they are doing, that selling higher tier CV should not be that much of a problem. In any case, if they add premium CV, they have to be carefull how they do it.

Getting a kill doesn't reward a lot if anything at all. I believe only the first kill gives something IIR. It is only a bit of an annoyonce in missions where you have to kill ships.

I agree, that could be a very fun reward and one that will lead to a few laughs I imagine.

You know this will happen no matter what

Agree, being able to show multiple flags for your achievements, would be nice, as I a sure that many flags for accomplishing a lot, will be added in the future.

No reason to give a buff to the range of cruisers with 155mm, as they just make 203mm useless cause you just fire from insane range, just like what happened with mogami. Besides, cruisers don't need range to fight DD, they need a way to spot them better, most people can't hit a barn at 18km anyway, much less a DD. Maybe you could argue that a range buff would help cruisers fight BB and help them survive, but they aren't really meant to fight BB anyway. Persoanally I think the new change is fine, they just need to do something giving them a way to fight DD properly.
