I prefer it teched-out-to-the-max like it is now. If you want the torpedo version play Edinburgh.

I understand why they wanted to get some Russian stuff in the game but they could have done one line and not two before getting the Royal Navy in. I know lots of people are unhappy with the RN CLs but I'm getting along OK with them. I realised I had something special even with Danae when i flushed out a couple of DDs from their spoke with my Hydro Acoustic search.

Can someone tell me what an "English Cruiser " is?
-
Chinese ships are Mingin'.
-
I'll be honest the Perth being a different nationality to the RN ships means I'm less likely to buy it. If I can't train my RN commanders in it, or use my 15 point RN commanders in it, why would I want it? It's hilarious if you think about it. They can combine Communist China with Taiwan but can't combine the various Royal Navies of the Empire and Commonwealth.

It won't work because in WoWS you can obscure your stats at source. In WoT you can't.
-
I generally look at flags if I'm in a BB and follow someone who has one that suggests competence. I'm quite happy to follow a better player and amplify his force when in a BB.
-
So what does OP want? We go into ranked with ships equipped with smoke generators but promise not to use them because he thinks it isn't fair?
-
I always try to be at or near "Dead Stop" before hitting the smoke generator.

How to counter a DD HE spam in a battleship?
Hedgehog1963 replied to RayPall's topic in General Discussion
I would never try to catch one from behind. I'm not recommending this charging down a BB head on in a DD as a sound tactic...but I can certainly recommend everyone try it at least one because it is one of the most exciting things I've ever done in WoWS. When it works it is great. -
I wouldn't want to be seen defending WG's decision but the cost of these consumables is a lot less by proportion of the gross income of WoWS ships than the consumables in WoT. In WoT a good game will gross something a little over 100,000 credits and the "large consumable" set of repai kit, medical kit and either an auto fire extinguisher or a food consumable will run you 60,000. People tend to buy them in bulk when they are hallf price and of course they don't always need replacing. My Emerald takes 66,750 credits to replenish and that doesn't even include the camo costs (I have a load of the Soul of the sea camos at the moment) which compared to the 400,000 and the rest for a good game seems tiny.
-
I think OP might be wondering why you have to pay for a consumable to be replaced if you haven't activated it. He/she may have WoT in mind where the consumable is't used and replaced unless you do hit the button during the game (apologies if that is not the case OP). Well the answer above is correct. That's the way WG decided to work it for WoWS.

What you need is British cruisers. They have AP fused in such a way that they explode sooner impact, so avoiding over penetrations. -

It is not a risk free strategy and I wouldn't recommend it without a Juliet Charlie and Sierra Mike flag hoisted. -

If you can maneuver yourself so you are in the path of a BB then hit your speed boost and charge it down Glowworm style. He's only got half his guns pointing at you* and you are very narrow as a target. You can close to definite-kill-torping-rangeTM in seconds. *Not against Dunkerque -
Only alternative would be to remove the smoke, you couldn't justify making it any stronger. While it might jar with other players I'm finding it to be super powerful as is. As long as you have someone spotting your enemy you slow to a stop, pop the smoke and sit and pound the enemy without risk. Best place to do this is next to an island which you can slip behind Activating hydro acoustic search prevents you getting torpedoed in your smoke. These CLs are more like super DDs.

You gave away the problem - you said your team mates were too far away. Cruisers are deadly to DDs and you should never leave your cruiser escort.- 96 replies

I took a flag-and-camo crate and got some. Five plus 500 free XP and five Sierra mike. -
And look what happens if something new crops up. The outcry over the Royal Navy cruiser line is deafening (although I am having a lot of success in them).
-
Tl;dr Don't play it if you don't like it.
-
For reasons I'll not go into I was looking at the NA forum and the same subject came up. Someone pointed out that what the chap was doing was "looking busy," and how that is a smart thing to do in the military.
-
These ships definitely require unique play style which turns out to be that of a Super Destroyer.
-
I can see why Admiral Noodle is concerned. Smoke in this game is very "gamey" and not very realistic at all. The ability to see a ship you wouldn't ordinarily be able to see because someone else can see it is however a fundamental part of the game and is derived directly from WoT. That being said I wouldn't want it to be changed. I'm comfortable with the way it works right now, especialy for Belfast. Asking for the graphical effects of being in smoke is a non starter because of the load it would put on your PC and many Russians are using DX2 66Mhz machines still (my first PC 1994 ).

Game is boring below tier 5...at least for me...isn´t it a problem for WG?
Hedgehog1963 replied to Kamikazesushi's topic in General Discussion
I think going back to low tiers to grind out a new line and finding it "boring" is not unusual or unexpected after the depth and breadth of play at the higher tiers. Fortunately for me I really enjoy the game at tier IV and above because of favorite ships. -

Definitely looks like a prison uniform from the days of yore
