Never noticed the shop pointing to the Wiki. That still leaves to EULA though. Question is, if an (appropriate) re-balancing clause is something a user doesn't have to expect, or if it provides an unreasonable disadvantage for the buyer. Not sure about that one buddy... Like always in life, it is complicated.

If that Wiki is published by WG themselves, one can still argue that it is just displaying the "current" stats, considering that the shop never contains them and the EULA probably makes them subject to change in an appropriate matter, when balancing requires it. That would be something you could use to make your case. It could swing both ways if that really is WG's Wiki. But you would have to check the Wiki Terms of Service as well.

Lel, that Super-Pershing Mystery Lawsuit again. EVEN IF that happened in the US, in Germany and probably most EU countries you would be likely to lose. - WG never sells premium vehicles with "stats", they just add a description that will most likely still fit the changed vehicle. - While clauses of the EULA are ineffective by Law, if they establish an unreasonable disadvantage for the buyer, there is good reasoning for a clause that allows appropriate rebalancing of premium vehicles, as long as those don't become useless. *Haven't read WG's EULA though, since I don't care enough to be frank.

YOU Sir should be ashamed to call yourself an Asashio-main...

@MrConway @Sub_Octavian Come on guys, only 1 week to go. Give us a hint.

You can get codes for that french premium arty on eBay. Got mine for 18 Euros there... But to be honest it is still low tier crap.

No. Changing the strafing mechanic would be the same like removing the stealth fire. That effected a lot of premium ships, especially Blyskawica. And yeah, KV-5 is getting nerfed hard at its side-armor right now. Why is that necessary for the new MM?

What? That would make Saipan much weaker, since it profits most from (exit-)"straffing" all the time. (IIRC it even loses click-on against Hiryu.)

Been doing that all along, mate. Especially on my Asashio.

With lower DPM but better ballistics, Grozo is a great support DD. But in the first row, it is a bit fat and can get overwhelmed by Gearing/YY DPM, since it has no armor/heal.

Thx for the game mate. The game was decided by half of your team suiciding in 2min. I don't keep stars in Ranked. Have to do it by winning... Thx for the game.

Yes, you are correct. He was announced like that so far, just with additional perks. No1 knows if that might change however.

It is a 6-week-event. There has to be more.

That USN captain will come from a Campaign, so it is not that at least...

Your aim can only negate the armor advantage, if you are super close. When you shoot a moving Gearing at 5-7 km, you will hit that plate a lot. And the torpedo threat will always remain. It is very deadly when you are close, and it can still distract you a lot at range. Z hydro+smoke is actually something you can negate easily with awareness. Grozo is super fat and has bad DPM. It only has the shell ballistics going for it. So just engage it at close range only, when in USN/PA.

Z-52 is more beginner friendly. YY/Gearing have more potential for skilled players though. KM DDs are easy to handle: AP only works if you show broadside. HE DPM is pathetic, so when you angle, you can wreck them. When you see Z-52 smoke up - and you have no own or friendly radar available - you can just stay at 6 km and either flush him out with torps or simply wait. Hitting those USN guns at range can be very difficult, but it is ok once you have enough experience with them.

YY radar is 7.5 km and 28 sec with upgrade IIRC, but yeah what Negativvv said. Gearing still has the upper hand in an equal DD-fight, because of that 21mm plate and the torps. But YY is definitely better for torping fatties.

You do realize that the ship has 11.2 km concealment? It is meant to get close. The fact that it is super tanky when angled, especially against HE shells, helps with that too.

Hey man, I see where you are coming from, but that number is indeed way too small to prove a significant difference in performance. Also I guess the playstyle must fit the setup.

Come out on top in YY vs Gearing? Sorry no. If both are equally skilled and have the same support, chances are higher for Gearing. Not only because of the dangerous torpedoes, but also because the 21mm armor in the middle of the Gearing mitigates a lot of HE damage. YY can only hope for good focus fire on his Radar. Which often doesn't work with Ranked teams. And yeah, YY+Gearing can both easily angle vs Z-52 AP and out-DPM him massively. He only has his Hydro to rely on.

Hey there, I am glad for you. Ejoy it - great ship. I am still thinking that it is quite balanced though. It doesn't feel stronger than Gearing in Ranked (especially because there is no focus fire for the Radar). In fact, I prefer to have the Gearing torpedoes and the 21mm armor strip, to fight the enemy DDs. And the reaction time on Gearing torps is still good enough for cruisers/BBs.

I bought a second Harekaze once, and when the missions didn't work a second time, they refunded it and just took the compensation, not the ship. Those doubloons were still on your account right?

(Was asking about the russian ship too.)

The problem is the distance. Awareness does not help if you foresee a flank collapsing, but actually cannot leave the one where you are at either. On small maps you don't have to abandon your flank that soon, to help out at the other one.

You can use him on Khaba for that PM buff alone...
