Your obsession with the sentence is hard to understand. It doesn't become a sentence after I have properly punctuated it. It remains an itemised list.

No, the torpedoes are the main armament in this. Not by design perhaps but I seem to recall that the games i did anything in involved torpedo attack.

No one is saying it is "a sentence." A list it is.

I write legal briefs for a living. Precise use of punctuation is required. What I said is correct. The semi colon is often misunderstood. It can be used... To separate items in a list Use the semi-colon to separate items in a list when one or more items contain a comma. (These examples use a colon to introduce items in the list. An explanation of the use of the colon is given below.) Source http://www2.le.ac.uk/offices/ld/resources/writing/grammar/grammar-guides/semicolon What you would never do is what you suggested.

Yes. A bigger leap than Fiji over Leander.

Experience in Destroyers is of more value.

I'm not putting this forward as fact but as a theory which I think has legs. The reason is that many of the players using in Emerald are bad at that kind of play. This is the first time many will have encountered playing with a cruiser which relies so heavily on the smoke consumable, with repair party and hydro-acoustic search to juggle as well. Many give up, having failed. The reason why Leander has better results, I conclude, is that all the people who were hopeless at playing Emerald gave up. Those who grokked Emerald were best suited to play Leander and her later sister CLs. In my case this was the first tier at which I brought in a half decent commander, in fact my best commander who had AFT and CE, which increase the threat these ships represent. The ship also has a weak main battery in my opinion. Too weak for Tier V, which is the first tier which sees ships two tiers above, which is also a shock.

Fix bedroom heating. Sort out plumbing. Get a flu shot. Plead with an online game company to extend its 'complete by' date so I can get a pixel ship. Practice spelling. So, this is wrong. Making a list like this you don't use capital letters to start all lines and you don't use full stops but semi colons. You use "and" before the last item. Fix bedroom heating; sort out plumbing; get a flu jab; plead with an online game company to extend its 'complete by' date so I can get a pixel ship; and practice spelling. Use of jab is fine because this is an English forum not an American English forum.

Partial service.

Błyskawica is a good destroyer. Very shooty. It's main vice is probably that it is the only Polish ship so you can't cross train a captain in any other ship. I won 2x Indianapolis in the Santa event and haven't tried her yet. Not comfortable with cruisers with out smoke and the best AP of the RN line. She doesn't have torpedoes either. If you want a Tier VII cruiser get Belfast for tricksy fun.

Very sad to say how right you are.

CVs were also the victims of the changes made based on demands made by the BB lobby. This is what Ghostbuster fails to grasp: Changes have been made to help the BBs almost from the get go. Any resistance from players of other classes to these changes falls on deaf ears and the changes to the game continue relentlessly to favour BBs.

That's because you can't tell the difference. I already explained that to you as well.

And you'd be entirely wrong.

If a BB is schmoozing along knowing it isn't spotted it knows it is safe and need not even zig zag. If a BB is seeing it is detected but it can't see an enemy it should be able to avoid being torpedoed by just changing course and speed constantly. A DD knows it's detection distance, hell it's even drawn on your minimap. You should know whether you're spotted unless there are DDs stealthier than you in the battle. You certainly don't need situational awareness.

There's still time for them to put a gold cost on this.

I've played scenario based board games with victory conditions like this and they can be thrilling. At the very end you need to decide whether to keep a given unit in play and try to do more damage or delay the other side or to get off through the exit and register the points and be safe. The thing is I can see the swifter ships as having too much advantage.

The concerns of BB players are in fact just based on their selfish views of the way the game should be played i.e. there should be no threats to them except other battleships. They don't like being burned or being attacked by ships they can't see. This is indeed an unreasonable position to take, hence some people are derogatory about those complaints. The BB players knew what the game was like, or should have, before they embarked on it, and just want changes to be made to the game to suit them. The concerns of DD layers are legitimate. As I described there has been a continuous progression of changes made to the gameplay clearly intended to reduce the ability of DDs to be effective. DD players have invested as much time into the game as the BB players to get to the high tiers. It is their game experience that is constantly being sacrificed in favour of the BB players. So yes, legitimate. You can't see the difference. Too bad.

Because you can't distinguish between a legitimate concern and "whining."

Not whining. Liar.

Candidate for vacuous strawman post of the week right there.

Just... no.

Because people reasonably want to have casual games they needn't study hard to enjoy. I reckon up to tier IV there's no issue with that.

All the events I describe are accurate and true to the extent of my knowledge. Call me a liar and you'd be wrong.

None of what I said is untrue.
