Did the NA team by accident post somethin to the EU site?

It depends on the amount of damage done to friendly ships over a number of consecutive battles OR if you sink a friendly ship.

If you do turn pink, don't fret about it. Just play off the games until you turn to normal state again. Happens from time to time due to sheer bad luck. Don't play overly passive to avoid turning pink unless you are reckless enough to turn pink every game you just went normal again.

Kagero is kind of a downgrade considering she only got 2x4 launchers compared to 3x3. Though she does have better torpedo options, Fletcher is superior to her in almost every aspect.

Depending on the situation: If you are the primary focus of the enemy team (and unless you can easily tank the damage) If you're in danger of being destroyed If it puts you in a much more favourable position afterwards (e.g. you open up a second field of fire granting your team guaranteed broadside shots from one angle while minimizing your own exposure). Consider the following points: You are not outnumbered (depending on the game and battle tier situation, but less than 1:1.5 is favourable) You can / have to support your CAs and act as a deterrant for enemy CAs/BBs You are not in immediate danger of being engaged by long range torps that would negate your ability to put pressure on the enemy CAs/BBs As soon as possible. Generally, BBs play rather similar throughout tiers and all but T3-T4 BBs are most effective at ranges between 8-15km as their (lack of) accuracy tends to be less of a factor at that distance. BBs with long(er) range secondaries (generally T8 to T10) or BBs with strong secondary armament (like Nagato, most German BBs) are likely better to engage at close range, especially Gneisenau, Scharnhorst and Tirpitz rather favour very close engagements due to torpedo armament. Only BB that can really be (somewhat) effective at 15km+ range is Yamato due to rather good accuracy (for a BB) and extreme range.

Technically, that would at least be true.

Jingles would probably say something like "Enemy destroyer spotted" when a Mogami pops up or something like that...

Well it sounds like a mixture of a pirate and a Quake / UT announcer voice... Just missing a "killing spree" line or something.

Guess warships.today uses a calculation of torp kills vs main battery kills and rarely uses means you are below average on torp kills vs gun kills against the general population for your DDs. Mine for example says :

Don't give them ideas. In the end they will try to stealth fire the main guns... it might just be possible even with 12km added.

Somewhat it's funny when people that have higher WR in BBs than in their DDs claim that DDs are overpowered but BBs are not. Logic anyone?

How is it condecending when he compares it to his other ships? I mean it's the same player... It's reading more like "if you struggle in warspite compared to your other T6, it's that you need to learn the ship because it works like the others for me". Btw. my stats are rather similar in Warspite next to New Mexico. (Fuso and Bayern I've relatively little amount of battles played, but still in a similar range).

You forgot the guns firing... they actually light up the ship that fires them for a second.

I turned pink 3 times so far. 2 times, it wasn't even my fault. Once i was rammed by a 15 hp DD in my BB and another time my secondaries were blazing away and hit a friendly DD hugging my port side. A third time, it was my fault but it was either that or lose 2 ships enemy torps instead of one to a TK and taking out the enemy DD...

The economy of Wargaming is always with 2 goals: Make money Keep all tiers populated Number one is quite obvious. They are a company after all... Number two is also fairly obvious. If the tiers stay populated that helps new players to get battles quickly and keeps more customers for WG leading directly to number one again. To achieve that, the economy is balanced around you not being able to constantly run T10 ships with full consumable loadout without dumping some money and being resonably good with them. On average I do not lose money even with full consumable loadout with prem account. On any tier but T10 I make a reasonable amount of credits, on T10 it's a little bit above break even - with full camo and consumable loadout @ prem account. It's about the same as I do for WoT. With all the mission bonuses and so on I could easily run T10 battles all the time without a problem so if you're above average you should be able to play T10 most of the time with prem account and bonuses from missions etc.

Goodbye Rosetta, was nice knowing you.

On the other hand, as a CA you can set them on fire with practically every salvo... they are so huge, they just eat half to full salvos almost every shot if you aim right... You just need to learn to position yourself to not get vaporized.

Still I've seen loads of screenshots in this thread with folks running STANDARD accounts and complaining about losing money. If you take a closer look at the premium section, they all would have been well in the positive range. That is just by design. You shouldn't be able to run T10 battles on a standard account reliably unless you're a unicum kind of player.

Cyclones are brawling BBs best friends. Tbh. mechanics should be changed that it reduces spotablilty of ships by 20-40% maybe though... or at least not to a flat 8km but maybe by 2km for DDs, by 4 km for CAs and by 8 km for BBs or something like that... maybe 6 km max spotting range for DDs, 7 km for CAs and 8 km for BBs/CVs?

[ ] OP knows that the penalty for hitting teammates with torpedoes is already higher than anything he suggests.

Some situations are rather clear: Click the target again deselects it If target is invisible, the invisible target gets deselected once you click another target There are multiple possibilities: If targets are both visible or both invisible, the targets get deselected in the selection order. (most intuitive solution) or If targets are both visible or both invisible, the targets get deselected in order of last known distance (keeps up most fire, but not very intuitive) or If targets are split left and right and you select a new target on one side, the marker of the target on that side jumps to the new ship (comfortable but might also be not completely intuitive, also requires calculation of which target is on which side). could be carried on quite some time I guess.

Well if you look at it in detail, actually they DO have relatively less time in each day. Earth is slowing down while rotating. The date border is through the pacific ocean, so each day starts first for Australia and East Asia, then central Asia, then Africa and Europe and last are the Americas. Granted it is a rather minimal amount and over the days itself it evens out, but for each specific day from the point of view of our time zones, less time passes in Asia than in the rest of the world because our 8th September starts hours after the Sydney 8th September...

The requirement for each T5 or T7 ship was that it had to be completed with a T5 or T7 ship. Now for a T10 ship the requirement would be to complete it with a T10 ship... you could even go so far to have it to complete with the respective T10 ship you have already unlocked e.g. to get Musashi you will have to do it with Yamato... would cause a lot of Yamato battles though.

Take a closer look maybe? That's not one million, that's ten million.

Yeah put some nuclear tipped tomahawk missiles on the Iowas. After all, they really had them.
