Today the issue is gone. I could go back to vsync+fullscreen windowed.

Tried few things .. and here is what I found: - vsync turned off -> no issues - vsync turned on + fullscreen windowed (what I used before) - stuck every time with no workaround. Might log on after 15 minutes, might not. - vsync turned on + fullscreen - seems to be stuck .. but alt tab to desktop and back fixes it. So my advice would be: go to preferences.xml, find waitVSync="true", change it to waitVSync="false". That should let you log in. Then experiment with different screen modes. I also suggest turning off the movies, so you can watch the progress wheel better .. if the start-up works, it rotates in jarring fashion and changes speed .. when it's stuck, it rotates silky smooth and slow. Btw. I'm on Lenovo Legion notebook, AMD 4800H, nVidia RTX 2060.

Same here, nothing helped. Did full clean reinstall, it's not mod related. Yesterday I did eventually logged in after few minutes .. not today. Edit: after 15 minutes it eventually did load.

BBs are for sure worst class in the game now. They are most vulnerable to torpedoes, both from DDs and planes. They are slowest and react worse on changes in situation. But most of all, they do most random damage. Going for citadels at 10km with AP is for sure good advice. And if you hit it, it hurts. But what is the chance ? 10% ? What is the chance of missing all shots together at this range ? 50% ? And you can try again after 30 seconds, when the enemy most probably changed course, distance, or you even have to switch targets. I'm ok with fact, that good DD will kill BB at the same tier in 1 on 1. I'm ok with fact, that BBs are weak against airplanes. But even cruisers can beat BBs, unless they are very unlucky. Cruisers do consistent damage which depends almost solely on player skill. BB is just casino. Btw. I do shoot at DDs from BB main batteries. HE obviously. I don't find them hard to hit. No harder then anything, they are not that smaller and you can adjust for the speed. And it will mostly kill them in one salvo. And since they are major threat to you, it's totally worth it.

Really .. cruisers rocks now. At 10km, I'm quite safe from BBs. (at lower tiers at least). While I'm putting over 90% on target. That's just silly.

Just disable manual drops. And improve AA. Torpedo planes survivability was so low it was similar to Kamikaze pilots, who often returned because they failed to find a target. But then .. WW2 was war of aircraft carriers. BBs were already obsolete.

I'm total noob .. only on tier 3 .. I only shoot HE. I can land most of shots as I want, except of course, crazy dispersion on my only BB, Kawachi. I do most dmg by fires caused by HE with my cruisers and Kawachi. I watched some old videos on AP, and only thing I can tell is that it does not work as it did. For me, AP is just useless. Only big guns I have are so inaccurate, it's impossible. But .. yesterday I had battle with perfectly same opponent .. Kawachi, same HP as me (both full) .. we opened at max range and were closing, we both angled at about 30 degrees. I of course shoot HE. Set him on fire, twice, and he burned, I added more and more dmg with each salvo, damaging turret here and there. But still he outdamaged me .. with AP. Every shot landed under my first turret, and it did hurt. He killed me in 5 salvos. I would need at least another 2, even with those fires. My uneducated guess is that it really depends on combination gun-target. Some guns can pen some targets. Same guns can fail at other targets. There is not much difference in gun performance if the gun is same caliber, but there are huge differences in armor between ships of same class and tier. Well just my not even 2 cents. I'm here to learn.
