Awsome Cosplays. I really like that Kongou. Also, Shimakaze with hoodie isn't bad.

I doubt the number of CA is the problem. I think the problem is a lot of factors combines, poor torp spreads, longer torp activasion timers, good AA, good evasion and so on, that just makes it more difficult to actually really do any damage, and if you don't succed, you end up sitting for 3-4 min to wait for your planes to return and rearm before you can send them out again. And with fighters being as how they are, just point and click not really anything to do with them, CV captains feel like they just don't contribute enough most of the time. Why play a CV that can get shut down by enemy fighters or have to wait for 3 while I watch my planes return, when I can sit in a destroyer and actively do something, capping or making stealth runs, or sit in my BB an putting preasure on the enemy?

Thanks for letting us know Sharana. You allways bring such good news.

I deffinetly agree with number 1. As for number 2, I do not think that BB should get much of a accuracy buff. Maybe they need a small one, but it should deffinetly not be anything big. Why? Cause I had a match with my Kongo and managed to hit a destroyer at 10 km and kill him. Sure, it took 3 salvoes, but his death was guaranteed. And I can wait for my guns to load 3 times anyway considering his torpedoes take about 1+ min to load anyway, and torps aren't that hard to evade these days. Considering that I can hit a small destroyer relatively reliably at 10 km with a BB, the one thing that is supposed to really counter me with it's torps, how does that balance it out. Granted, I will say that the tier 5 Kongo is the highest BB I have had since the wipe during beta, so I got no idea how current balance it at higher tiers, but around tier 5/6 it is good enough.

Um, okay, although I haven't played the Ryujo in at least 4-5 months I would say it is an accurate accuracy of what I used to do. These days I am in love with Japanese detroyers, but torpedoes are still the main weapon, so they aren't completely wrong. That has to count for something, right?

Also, auto tracking only works when you have selected a target. You can do this by aiming over an enemy an pressing (default X), this also happens automaticly. But you can deselect the target by aiming at water and pressing X. You can see when an anemy target is selected, when it has a white croshair around it's symbol. The camera won't auto track a target that is not selected.

They looked at your profile before they made the changes

Early battleships have pretty poor AA and the chances of shooting down a plane isn't very high, it does go up rather quick later. Thus, the best way to avoid getting hit by torpedo planes is to either: Keep an eye on the minimap. Figure out where the enemy planes are heading, as soon as you seem heading towards you, start to evade. You may not evade all (it is possible) but you will at most maybe take 1 or 2 depending on how good the carrier player is. Staying with your team. The more ships together the more AA they got, and the more difficult is it for planes to get to you. You can thus decresse the chance of getting hit my making yourself a less inviting target. The simple best thing to do is, keep an eye on the minimap. Where are your allies? Where are the enemy planes? Then you can really start to evade them. As a battleship player having good situational awareness is important. Because your ship is slow and turn poorly, you have to act well in advance. There, you got some nice helpfull tips and advice. Edite: Oh also, if you hold down left Ctrl and left click on an enemy squadron, you do an additional 50% more damage to them.

If you are lucky, the HMS Warspite might come on sale in the premium ship a few times, and the polish destroyer (can't remember the name) which is also a british class of ship, might also become available for sale again. They will most likely be sold in bundles with gold, flags and so on for a price of around 30 euro or so. Not sure if you would be willing to pay that much, but you can allways keep an eye out and see what you think. It is one way to get the royal navy fix untill the full tech tree.

Seems like a good patch. Not let's see how it is when it actually gets on the live server.

No, they seemed to be crawling over each over to get through it at first. After the first 6 died, it was like they were all sitting in the canyon asking who was going to go next. No idea why they didn't just back up

The chances are deffinetly high.

I know the pain. I have been trying to get her for a week. Also hoping to get Kinu for the new quest line, but so far, no luck.

When someone makes and armored warfare version but with ships instead

If you guys look at this thread, you will see at some points that Kaga, Akagi were planned as normal tier 8 CV's in seperate branches. No idea about Enterprise. Granted, this information was a very long time ago to my knowledge, so who knows what have changed since then.

I allways shake my face when I see people do that. Then again, I once had a match where 10 of the enemy ships sailed through the middle, DD, BB and CA. It wen't about as well as you could imagine. On the bright side, we didn't have to do much except camp the exit and launch torps

We will probably recieve some form of tier 2 or maybe tier 3 ship as happens every year in WoT. However, remember that these tanks (in this case ships) are allways underperforming and not really worth it unless you want to collect them all. But no confirmation has been given regarding anything except what you see in the calander. The special on the 24th is called "New years gift", so maybe?

Well, it took some time, but I finally did it. Made all the trouble of summer worth it. Now, all I need is Oboro to go and beat W5-2 boss, and I will have the flight deck for Zuikaku as well, who is sitting ready at lvl 77. Next, onward to lvl 99 Also, I got Fusou to Kai Ni as well.

When you upgrade the guns, the ship will become really good. The AP can tear appart cruisers that show their broadside with citadel hits, and the HE has a good chance for fire. Just remember that the ship has rather slow turret traverse, so getting the commander skill to help with it is worth it. Also, the ship has rather bad AA, you are not an AA escort. The shell arch can be sort of good or bad as it is rather low, this means that the you will have a more difficult time to shoot over islands and get plunging fire, but it works well against cruisers sides. Just mind that the range is only 13km and that most cruisers can shoot longer than you. That should be the most important things.

Remember that these statistics don't allways tell the full story, as there are quite a few hidden stats of ships that are very important.

Nice imformation. Much better to get direct info from a Q&A rather than datamining. Thanks for bringing this up.

Well, I don't think it is much of a problem. Granted I have not played as many games as you, but I have only been detonated two times, so it is not that often. Also, out of your 1000+ games you have been detonated like 30 times or so. That is not so much.

I used to have really bad loading times, but for some reason I no longer get them. But I can understand the pain of people with the long loading time, so I am happy to see it here, even if I don't nessecary need it now.

True, as a DD player, the worst thing is a CV that parks planes over you or an annoying cruiser that prevents you from getting in to a good position to hit those tasty BB. Ofcourse with a lack of CV these days, the cruisers are really the only thing I worry about. That is not to say that BB' can't kill DD's, but it can be more difficult.

Well, I will wait untill we actually know what is truly coming in the next patch, but I do love some of these changes. Love the new flags. Buffing cruiser citadel repair is lovely, might help them survive better against BB's. Also nice to see that the type 93 is getting harder to spot, makes sence considering how it was in real life. How it will affect gameplay though I will have to see. Also, love that we can buy new ports if they buyable by gold. I can see it as a way to fund the game more without it adding an advantage to players. Can also see them being rewarded as part of Ranked battles or competitions. I don't hope that premium consumables get +1 charge. I don't really feel I need it. Might make BB a little too tanky if they can heal all day. Some BB might need it, I don't play BB that much, so I don't know it. But really, does it help anyway to post this sort of stuff? All it leads to is either people getting overly hyped for some changes and then angry if they aren't implemented. Only benefit from this I can see, is that WG can use our reactions to guage what we want.
