When I checked out the link, I can confirm that I've seen both the Edda Freya (the "tower" makes her easily recognisable) and the Edda Flora, but now I'm somewhat confused: the image you posted appears to be of Freya and not the Flora?

I see... I think I've seen that vessel pass through the fjord near my homestead actually (unless that was a sister/similar ship), though I'm not sure exactly when. I just insert the at sign and then start typing the username. A menu with suggestions will appear (at least on the non-mobile version of the site) and then one can choose the desired user.

Soooo... since the Norwegian merchant fleet was instrumental to winning the war, did Norway save the world as well? As such, WG, please don't pay attention to the minor achievement highlighted in this thread, give us Norwegian warships now! I even have a prime candidate for the first ship. It's even a museum ship so you can easily inspect it!

Indeed he is. Not to mention, that module is only available at tier 8 and above (with some notable exceptions).

I assumed that he fired his guns because if he wasn't spotted by hydro, there isn't much else that could have done it. One possibility is that the smoke puff he was hiding in disappeared at the moment the cruiser came close and that he didn't notice it because it wasn't the last puff (thus the timer was still counting down).

Maybe another destroyer was closer and spotted you for the cruiser? A replay would have been nice though, but I guess your dog ate the file?

No idea. I went for Fire Prevention due to all the enemy secondary and cruiser HE spam (as well as AFT, obviously), but I don't know if that is the best setup. In any case, I dished out 56k damage with secondaries alone (without MS) so I was curious to see if the skill would yield better results.

I would still recommend PT simply because you can use the additional information to know when to give full broadside or not. Sadly, I was a potato and chose Concealment Expert on my cruiser when AFT would have been a better choice. On another note, I am wondering if manual secondaries is a good choice for the Magnu-S. Since the range is so short (thus decent accuracy), is it really worth it to give up one full broadside of secondaries for the extra accuracy?

But who exactly is being shamed in this thread though?

Well, I just torped the crap out of three Octoberuvsjajajaja Revolutskivjajajaja in my Kamikaze R: (Forgot to take screenshots, as the match wasn't very interesting) I must say, the slow turrets makes YOLO-rushing surprisingly viable.

My guess is that they want more low/mid-tier US destroyers to use the consumable, but it's not going to happen with the current reduction in firepower. In addition, since this will not be listed in the in-game client, "NO ONE" will be using the buffed consumable since they won't know that it is different than the usual ones. I mean, people still don't know that focusing aircraft gives a 30% increase in AA DPS (which also isn't listed anywhere in the client by the way) and WG expect random players to figure out that the consumable is different somehow?

Does the average Russian potato not know how this ship works? The thing is a monster against enemy destroyers (due to the accuracy) and (clueless) battleships since it can stealth-torp with the concealment expert skill. In addition, the accuracy module also makes it a really good firestarter which combined with smoke, can yield some hilarious results. I mean, the range increase is nice and won't change much, but the hydro might be a bit much. On the other hand, the BB overpopulation (sponsored by vodka-infused balancing) and the new fire duration reduction on destroyers and cruisers might warrant some buffs and maybe Iwaki is riding the first wave (huehue) of this trend.

Well, maybe if WG's solution to the BB overpopulation was to do anything other than releasing an even more braindead BB line, we wouldn't have this problem. But hey, at least 2017 is the year of the carriers, right?

XP rewards are not based on the total damage done, but how that damage corresponds to the percentage of the target's maximum hit points. As such, one full health destroyer kill equals one full health battleship kill. Burger country destroyers are therefore an excellent choice (caps also boost XP gain), but since you don't have those, I would try the Cleveland (with IFHE) and spam battleships and destroyers alike with HE. Remember that downed planes also yield a small XP reward and Cleveland is rather good at that .

Should someone tell him that secondaries do not affect the smoke detection range?

The "Reddit configuration" is almost certainly a visual mod. After all, WG has published a screenshot of the Musashi (I also fail to see how they are supposed to balance the two hulls if the new configuration is genuine):

My guess is that the 1k damage is supposed to be 2k damage. This also makes the AP/HE-difference more consistent with that of the other lines as well. Even then, I cannot say that the ship's stats look all that impressive...

You can swap between applications with the ALT + TAB combination (if you are using Windows, that is). Other than that, there isn't much you can do. I might be misunderstanding your question though .

I could say the same . I think I shot you down during a strafing run or something in my Bf 109 E (or the tier 4 one, can't remember).

Finally my old IJN BB captains can get some love. I don't think I've retrained them since the last free skill reset and the meta has changed quite a lot since then . Maybe I should try some funky IFHE Zao builds as well, since that clearly yields more damage!

Errrr... I think you missed the context (if you read what I wrote earlier in this thread, you would also realise what I think about the Conqueror), as I was referring to this:

He isn't wrong though .

Ah, it's so heartwarming to see such constructive, helpful and not-at-all-garbage responses that contribute to the topic. Bonus points for having a humorous tone as well! As for the actual issue, WG EU did it again: This answer was posted in the "unanswered questions about CW"-thread, so I also find it funny that one should automatically know that there was an "unanswered question" regarding official information which gives an answer about primetime hours which no one knew about. I mean, why would someone not ask about why the primetime is so late when that very information was unknown?

Interesting. Does this mean that all other tier 10 battleships need a buff since they are equally weak (or worse, depending on angling) to AP but don't have the super-heal?

Another update on the Pan-Asian destroyers: (Source) EDIT: It seems like the development blog is confirming the leaked/datamined changes from the SEA-group so the information isn't new per se, but at least it's official.
