Dark vs White theme and colors in the forum!
Ubertron_X replied to Excavatus's topic in General Discussion
1. Write text in any program or format 2. Open Editor 3. ... 4. Profit Otherwise I agree with the notion that all text should be inserted as plain text by default (with the option to also insert formated text) as this seems to be the most easy solution. -
The big question being is this article an April's fools joke or not... We'll see...

Two things of note: 1) When not sure about your back-up and/or the enemy line-up ALWAYS approach any cap in "run-away" mode, i.e. figure out the vector of the most likely enemy attack and position yourself 180° opposed to that as soon as possible. 2) If you have support and your DD has at least decent camo ratings then for gods sake do not stop at the edge of the cap circle and NEVER EVER smoke up in cap without good reason as you will not only blind yourself, but most likely also your team . The window of opportunity for support is limited, especially for cruisers and battleships brave enough to support their DDs. If they get shot up before the enemy spotter (DD) goes down, you will be on your own for the rest of the game.

In weird spot regarding missions and pley for phun
Ubertron_X replied to SirAmra's topic in General Discussion
Similar considerations over here. I have grinded every single line to T10 except carriers, so there is nowhere else to go to regarding tech tree. Got almost every boote that was available through grind or for free and I currently just play the game out of habit and/or to get 19 point commanders down to T6 on every single ship (nearly finished all T10 and a couple of T9 already). -
Suggestion: Key binds for AA sectors?
Ubertron_X replied to OldschoolGaming_YouTube's topic in General Discussion
If you ask me I'd just mouseclick on the appropriate side of the ship in the compass (or on the ship for neutral setting). No need for a separate "O" pop-up window... -
Smoke Concealment - Remind me how im spotted in smoke as a DD
Ubertron_X replied to OddityNZ's topic in General Discussion
Because maybe I also watched the replay, mixed things up and thought (no guessing involved): -

Ubertron_X replied to OddityNZ's topic in General Discussion
Yep, my bad. Mixed up module and skill. Thanks for pointing out. -

Ubertron_X replied to OddityNZ's topic in General Discussion
You all know that there is a skill that allows hard detection up to 3km? If Fuso had that skill that would allow for indefinite use of secondaries in between 2 and 3km without ever being spotted. That or the 20 secs of gun bloom are probable explainations. -
As the British did not win the battle either I am still going for German tactical victory vs British strategic victory.

Well, ze Germans claimed victory at Jutland too. So there's that...

Armada: Prinz Eugen — a Blast from the Past
Ubertron_X replied to The_EURL_Guy's topic in News & Announcements
PE is a very sturdy ship and a true open waters cruiser. Her main problem is dealing enough damage fast enough to influence the course of battle. Boasting long range guns. good AA and German hydro she is a very good teamplayer. -
Nelson delivered in just one evening. Lots of dev strikes, dreadnoughts, fireproofs and the occasional confederate...

Radio Location - good decision to implement?
Ubertron_X replied to loppantorkel's topic in General Discussion
I deliberately do NOT run the skill on any torp bootes because I do not want to telegraph my presence to my prey. I do run the skill on some of my DD-hunter DD's though (e.g. Z-46) and with good results. A must have skill in competitive from time to time I find it completely useless in random games as radar or CV planes do the job much better and/or the general direction of the enemy DD is already known. -
Exeter easiest to aim for achievements ?

1. Get high heal BB. 2. Let fires burn on purpose. 3. ... 4. Profit -
Fly! Strike! Win! Event - Non-paid Crowns and Florins Estimates
Ubertron_X replied to Leo_Apollo11's topic in General Discussion
Ah well, to be honest I didn't know until you mentioned it. And even if some important flags are missing at least I now know where to throw my 650m credits at (plus the 50% discount flag coupons where I haven't even used one yet). -
Has anybody else had shells falling short?
Ubertron_X replied to FixCVs_Nautical_Metaphor's topic in General Discussion
Is this the real dispersion ellipse or some kind of idealized version? I would have thought it to be more like a shotgun blast cone (depending on distance and ballistics of couse). -

Ubertron_X replied to Leo_Apollo11's topic in General Discussion
Depending on what your stockpile looks like just go for premium or flags as those are the items that can not be bought using credits. -
Get a BB. Get burned a lot. Don't die. Using the above mentioned stategy farming achievements is pretty easy and in some cases not even dependent on your team or if you win or lose.

Time is money though...

Your favorite cruiser: Tier for tier
Ubertron_X replied to NothingButTheRain's topic in General Discussion
Corrected that for you. :D Seriously I don't get how anyone can find the Neptune funny. It's way too visible (in comparison to Edin), has absolutely no armor (especially and even in comparison to Edin) and the ship screems citadel from bow to stern. The ships only saving grace is that it prepares you for the Minotaur (playstyle of Mino and Nep are vastly different from Edin and Fiji). When I first played Nep I was absolutely petrified on how quickly my games ended and even after I go the knack about how to play the ship I really disliked it for its brittleness. It's not that I expect a light cruiser to prevail under heavy fire, but I expect any ship not to die from occasional random salvos. With Nep you can conserve HP and heals for a full 19min, only to die in one salvo because somebody finally looks at you. -
Your favorite cruiser: Tier for tier
Ubertron_X replied to NothingButTheRain's topic in General Discussion
The most interesting thing about this thread is that most of the time you can easily see which player is preferring the "hider-HE-spammers" and which is preferring the "free-range-chickens-cruisers". Nonetheless here are mine: 1) none 2) Emden 3) St.Louis 4) Kuma 5) Murmansk 6) Duca D'Aosta or Graf Spee 7) Any Myoko 8) Any Atago (Prinz Eugen gets a respectable 2nd place) 9) Saint-Louis or Roon 10) Hindenburg -
The one thing that is bothering me about the current map borders is that you can not clear them by reversing, at least not in any meaningful way. Due to the power reduction which apparently also affects deceleration it just takes ages to get into reverse gear.
