don't work for me

Damit, I wasn't even aware about all the PTS stuff (new player) until the news post 5 min ago, am I late to the current session, is it over already?

This is the case for all germans BBs, nearly always guaranteed citadels from AP bombs.

Is it possible to get ships that were removed from the game, like Enterprise from SC?

Russian one works only for the Russian client. The German/English one worked for EU client.

There was, Yeah. HGFY20UYT02 and another one

It worked me for, I got the mission chain.

So, the next relevant stream for us EU server players is the polish one?

My first "Solo warrior", happened in the most tense game I ever had. I got uptiered to TX and won vs 5 enemy ships.

I compliment good players, as simple as that, players who carry, play the role of their ship as it supposed to be (uncommon sight these days) and play with the team. I report people that are the opposite, campers, lemmings, German BB players who camp with their ships trigger me the most, people who suicide for no reason, do not play the role of their ship and generally playing very badly. I'm surprised that so far nobody posted in this thread that he reports CV's for killing hes DD, i get reported every 3-4 games in a CV when taking a huge chunk or sinking an enemy DD in the first minutes of the match.

Pffff I play CVs most of the time, i'm the manifestation of negative karma. Every DD I shoot rockets at a game and hit him higher than 5k results in, 90% of the time,-1 karma. Once I dropped from 8 (!) karma, my top record to 2 in 3 CV games.

I'm the silent type, I just report them for "Poor play".

Plotwist: That's "Sweet potato" in Hebrew

I would like to know ...

Reported.

Hello, I'm a fairly new player to WoWs, with below 700 games under my belt. So far I have been playing Cv's to great success but I wanted to try and get into cruisers, since I figured If I ever join a clan, Il need to learn how to play a surface ship to participate in CWs. After grinding some Tier 4-5 of the US/RN/RU lines i decided to settle on the RN and got up to emerald, I decided to go for light cruisers. So far the experience feels abysmal, I spent the majority of the day progressing through the line and I feel that I don't understand the play style of cruisers and don't feel like im pulling my weight most of the time. I never feel that I contribute to the game and have impact on the outcome, I feel helpless against BBs and that I serve nothing more than XP Pinata for them. My general approach is either escorting a DD to cap and harassing enemy DDs or playing shootouts with enemy cruisers at ~8-11k range. This worked some-what fine up to tier IV but at tier V its so far being a nightmare, you can check it by my stats... The last two games destroyed my self confidence completely and I came to this forum. Both games played very similar: I got up tiered to tier 7 I proceeded to escort DDs at safe distance to the cap, and at the cap I started shooting enemy DD at 6km range supporting mine. from across the map, on both games, I got immediately blapped by a dev strike of BBs, right on the 3 first min of the match. I didn't drive straight, I was wiggling around and got deleted. I do not understand the game pacing of cruisers in the game and their place. I never feel that their dictate the game outcome, it always feels like BB's DDs and CVs play the bigger role and I can't find my place in it. On one game I was alive along with 4 team mates and the enemy team had 3 bbs alive, I had no idea how to deal with them except sprayin AP at 9km range and wiggling hitting them for laughable ~460-990 damage or non-pens, getting to torpedo viable range seems impossible due to risk of being deleted on the spot. I also feel extremely underpowered with emerald at tier v, those single turret guns feel like I'm driving an oversized destroyer, its just feels unfair, at shootouts I land a lot of shots on enemy cruisers, for patheric 460-990 damage. meanwhile cruisers like furry takos nail me for 2k+ with HE when they land the occasional shot, it feels that it takes me ages to get any serious damage done, while the I get punished severely for every hit I take. I watched videos on youtube and saw Mintotaurs and Neptunse ripping apart the broadsides of tier X BB's. Meanwhile, my guns with the same 152mm caliber gets non-pens 70% of the time at 7km range at broadside BB's. I also have hard time utilizing torpedoes, its almost impossible to get near enough to a bb without being ripped apart to even get a chance to launch. The day ended overall with a lot of losses, downed morale and a bitter taste in my mouth. I would gladly appreciate if you guys can give me some advice and bulletins on how can I improve my cruiser gameplay, positioning, things to avoid, roles and my place in the game. P.S. My build so far is: PT - AR - SI - CE Sorry for the wall of text.

Just wanted to give an update on my situation. Eventually everything came into place. as of the time of this post I just researched Fiji. In all my 700+ random battle games I never got so much enjoyment and satisfaction out of this game when playing all my CV's combined compared to my time with Leander. I now appreciate the "Boot camp" I underwent with Emerald and all the hard work, losses and learning curves i underwent to understand the RN cruiser game play, strength, weaknesses and mindset. My experience, hard work and lessons learned with the Emerald payed off so much in Leander that it felt like I jumped from power level of tier V to Tier X, I actually managed to carry some games and got 2 Krakens with Leander and made a huge impact on the outcomes. It saddens me that i need to part way with it for the time being and move to Fiji and I hope that the rest of the ships on the way to Minotaur will bring as much fun as Leander. Finally, I do want to show off a bit with my best 2 games on Leander on my way to Fiji, it really feels like "From zero to hero", Thanks all for your advice!

Super nice, I got 1.5m credit from my first recruitment container...

Shooting Allied DD at spawn, launching torps at allied ships. Then you wonder who you keep losing games, you honestly don't deserve any help from anyone here.

What are those tubes that looks like nebel werfer on the tier X destroyer bow?

Alright, I approached my emerald with a complete different mindset today after evaluating yestardays disaster. I got better at denying areas with torps and in general I started to learn the "DD behavior" of smoking and torping, and I stepped my awareness and careful game play. This is my first game today, so far the best i ever had, and that was while being the bottom tier ship on the list (all ships were tier 7 except me and another t6 cruiser). I died to the last enemy cruiser which was at 10% hp left and he was bow on to me and I couldn't nail him fast enough while i was defending a cap in smoke. I actually found a decent way to deal with BBs, I approach BBs just outside my detection range, move around them and keep my distance while constantly throwing torps at them, the RN ability to launch 1 torpedo at a time proved to be very useful at that.

Thanks for your reply.

I never encountered any issues with operations so far. Completed Raptor yesterday without any issues.

Uhm, slightly an off topic question. Regarding the hall of fame, do you get the rewards based on the specific level your at (e.g. top 50%) or do you get the rewards from this stage and all those below it (Retroactive)?

Hi, I'm approaching the point where I almost have enough doubloons to buy my 1st premium CV to have some diversity from Shokaku and make some solid money (the cash grind for TX is fairly intense). My personal state right now is that I'm torn between Kaga and Saipan. My biggest grip with kaga is that its rocket planes are terrible for its tier and your down to DBs and Torps for the majority of the game. Also, do Kaga's torpedo bombers retain their 7.5 km base detection value like the rest of the IJN CVs? For Saipan, I never used Tiny tims before, how do they perform compared to other rockets vs DDs? I'm not worried about the limited deck/hangar space and plane regen, I'm playing my Shokaku with full conceal build and I generally manage my plane reserves well into the late game. If you have more information and experience to share about other premiums like GZ and ark royal Il be happy to hear them as well.
