Was already wondering where the weekly "has ship XYZ been nerfed" thread was. I think it's really just bad RNG mate, it happens. :)

Maybe you are not as much into PR, as you think... :D

Ok, somebody should finally post actual pictures here: Btw @DFens_666:

Yeah I guess only my team would see it on the planes once they are dead (assuming that they get it, because planes also get the that rusty camo) - and some pathetic DD trying to rush me...

If you're that desperate, you should ask someone to take a screenshot with that camo on every TX ship before permanently linking it.

I'm seriously considering to put it on FDR for maximum salt...

Yeah all these Georgias are hard to kill before your team dies as a T8 CV - can't wait to be top tier as CV again...

If you spend your hard earned 10k steel on the "made of steel" camo, people ingame will probably think it's the Silver Ranked camo...

That video is amazing. Classic Krom as well.

No wonder, when you check out "the playerbase":

That Austin SAP is not better than Minotaur AP (and in many cases even worse), but hey why not cry a river about unreleased ships...

With such a low sample size, the percentage says almost nothing. Also don't forget that people who are unhappy are multiple times more likely to take part in such a poll than those who are not.

Not even a hundred people voted there. But yeah it is without doubt that most players prefer games without CVs.

Where is that number from? Not that I doubt it - the game is better without CVs and RTS CVs were not less of a pain but had a lower population in the end...

So what's your take on the smoke and how to utilize it?

It doesn't look bad. But it looks like the guns are being balanced by low Sigma. Balance-by-RNG is the worst kind of balance to me...

I'm always surprised, how many enemy CVs in Randoms actually attack my hull early in the game though...

I can't tell you how often I have absolutely murdered the enemy DDs in the first few minutes as a CV, and yet my team managed to throw the game anyway.

Yeah it was last-minute before the release. Nobody ever properly tested the final version IIRC.

At that point, the bow was the same that we have now, I believe. It should be this one: The funny thing is that - overnight - WG combined the the best stuff of these versions into the final release...

Amazing - some dude sees an old test version of Stalingrad on wowsft and immediately makes a new thread with font size 100.

Being a whale on one server is enough.

But the actual update is happening on Tuesday for everyone. What about major issues on that day? Doesn't seem to be a problem... Anyway, I can survive without it, but it does feel a bit shitty seeing the new shiny stuff on RU today and we don't have it yet... ;)
