    Hunt the Bismarck Badges

    I got a crate had two badges which were not only duplicates of each other, but duplicates of one of the four I had in my collection.

    Are you buying the HMS Hood?

    Yes this kind of comparison doesn't wash. Thanks all the same.

    IFHE is used because it causes colossal damage. It is particularly useful on the 6 inch rifle because it bumps the penetration up nicely, so that you can penetrate the bows of everything. Can't over emphasise the value of this skill on Belfast and Perth (and Kutusov for that metter). DE plus some flags negates the diminished chance of fire that comes with IFHE. It only cancels the negative effects of IFHE.
  5. Realistically they only need to announce things in English because everyone already speaks English or they jolly well should.

    Flamu already has a 19 pointer dedicated to Belfast. I finished off my 19 point Commander primarily on Belfast because it is such a strong ship. Flamu set up is Priority Target Expert Marksman, Adrenaline Rush Superintendent, Demolition Expert IFHE and Concealment Expert It's not a terrible set up for DDs either.

    Foch has been canned as a CC. I'm going to do something a trifle tangential and quote from the FP post of Rear Admiral Jingles* "It doesn't matter what the actual content of todays video is, I know the comments are going to be flooded with questions about what happened to Circonflexes and SirFoch yesterday. There's even a slim chance that Joe Internet might stop to read this before yelling his outage all over the comments, so, this is Rumour Control, here are the facts. SirFoch made a 1min 46sec long video about the Chrysler K tank that consisted of him saying "[edited]Wargaming" for about a minute and explaining why for about 46 seconds. In a move that surprised exactly nobody, Foch had his Community Contributor status revoked and was *asked* to take the video down. Foch complied, and Foch being Foch, doesn't give a crapabout it." *Mighty

    10 points is basic level IMO. You've only got access to one fourth rank perk. The best way for me to train any captain is to play one of the three 19 pointers I have. I can then pile the extra XP onto any guy I want. Most efficient and fun is Belfast and I have my guy set up as Flamu suggests. 19 pointer in Belfast really makes the ship strong. I'll not buy Hood until she's in the in game tech tree on sale for gold. Even then I'll be waiting for a discount.

    Hoods out!

    I've spent as much on a single bottle of wine in the past, and I've bought the supreme package of five ships in the past (and as many tanks) but I think WG's sale strategy here stinks.

    Yes. The only reason there is a temporal element to this at all is WGs marketing strategy.

    HMS Hood available on the 19th May

    When Belfast, Perth, Leningrad and Okhotnik all came on sale I bought the biggest packages for the unique flags, gold and whatnot. This time though there's a very cynical thing at play with the access to mission completion being severely attenuated unless you buy a very heavily overpriced bundle. Much dearer bundle than before. Transparent scumbaggery of the first order.

    HMS Hood available on the 19th May

    I'm not going to buy Hood as it stands even at the last because of the cynical way WG have staggered these sales. It's just utter bastardy. There's no need for it. If the ship gets heavily discounted for doubloons several months down the line I might consider it.

    You've not been married long enough to have to suggest she leave them on when it is time for a session of horizontal calisthenics. They love that sort of thing.

    I'm sorry this is bogus and needs to be called out as such. You could "keep going" by selling all three offers on 19 May.

    Warspite saved!

    I've a 58% WR in the old lady. I learned to anticipate two shots ahead and turn the ship to bring the guns to bear. This is a serious buff though and very welcome.

    Personal %30 Off

    I received a 30% off coupon in April via WoT for my 6th anniversary. I bought a year's premium time even though I still had some 150 days left. It was approx £47 which I worked out to be £0.13 a day. I play WoT everyday and WoWS fairly regularly so this represents superb value.

    WG Remove the staggered HMS HOOD Bundles

    30% off anything over €30. I'm already sat on 497 days premium and the ships I don't have I don't want.

    Just to turn the screw.... I just got a 30% off coupon... expires on the 18th.

    HMS Hood available on the 19th May

    Hmm... I likey, and I have bought the top packages for other ships in the past because I like the flag on offer, but I'm so put off by the marketing strategy associated with Hood that I'm not going to play. I'll fly the Jutland flag instead.

    WG Remove the staggered HMS HOOD Bundles

    I won't be doing the campaign anyway as the tanks have my full attention with the x2 crew XP specials (approaching 7 skill/perks on my Type 59 a million XP to go). I'll certainly not be buying Hood - even unbundled - at full price. It'll be 30% off soon enough.

    I have a 19 pointer and that ship is so good with IFHE.
  24. The people you need to consider in that metaphor are the people who sell footballs and playing kit. They don't care how good you are at the game if they can sell you the stuff. They are the equivalent of WG here.

    HMS Gallant

    Nope because some of us prefer DDs to BBs anyway.
