Guess which ship have permanent DFAA and always was popular pick in CBs

The best part is, its only Lesta having such grandeur ideas, as World of Tanks is still capped at 50k gold.

QE is for free, have tad better range, better HE but worse AP shells and slower turret traverse. Port indicates worse turn radius, but still decent for a BB. Warpie have cruiser DCP with 60s reload and recovers bit more hp per heal tick (0.6% instead 0.5%), her secondaries have 1km more range which may or may not enable some secondary memes in T6 operations. Main reason why go for Warpie would be need for T6 premium BB and you just happen to have raised UK BB captain, as for QE you would have to raise one from scratch.

Doesn't mean WG can't resurrect her before killing her again, this time with nuke instead just 203mm to the head Which is... universal problem the moment you have concealment gap, regardless if we're talking about Kitakaze, Fletcher or Kiev?

If Akizuki can work, then odds are, Kitakaze will be okay as well.

No no comrade, that is how you give impression of changing something without actually changing anything

Yes, buffing bomb damage is totally going to fix Implacable when accuracy and lack of penetration is main culprit

If you mean slow and badly protected, then you have entire line of US battleships to choose from.

ARP Yamato isn't pay2win, its peak of "pay2skip progress". I'd maybe even "pay to not play the game", given how unfun T10 has become.

TL;DR you're on a ship at sea, salt is only natural.

T10 wasn't "the best league" for years, not when only requirement is to press "Battle" enough times. And amount of T10 ships played forced WG to add MM rules for T8 and T9 to prevent them from being uptiered all the time, which, if anything, made those tiers more fun, more varied to play than constant T10 only games.

Texas pulled from sales and nerhammer to NY when?

More like there are financial issues and two only WG successful projects, WoT and WoWs must be milked even harder to not drown company due to all the failed projects? https://thearmoredpatrol.com/2020/10/28/wargaming-disbanded-its-rd-division/

Have you tried buying more expensive package, maybe you've bought discounted and thus inferior version of weeb Yamato

That is like, modus operandi for capitalism. Growth in amount of customers and making MORE money is core principle. If anything, existing customer that already spent his/her money and isn't interested in anything else is a burden, eating resources, bitching and moaning around without giving additional revenue

Any company worth its salt have only one principle to stick with - make money. And in case you've missed, since 2018, when WG HQ gave full authority to Lesta to manage World of Warships as they see fit, things went downhill

Anime gacha games would like a word with you... No wonder WG wants slice of that big money pie

Next step: China!

Coop calls you

If you were to remove "these players" from your queues, I'm afraid you would be playing with and against bots 95% of the time.

Which aren't many around, so WG could "afford" to give something for free for long term players. Even more so how rarely these ships are played nowadays.

At least such people would have excuse to play badly, unlike "fail your way to the T10" approach that is around since forever

Massa is more of a brawler, due to much lower citadel and yet with only 27kts she can't quite dictate the engagements. Also suffers when uptiered and both teams developed acute allergy on pressing W key due to her 18km range. Guns you can sample on NC, so not exactly high velocity but more than decent by T8 standards, just slightly less predictable than NC. I have both, both are fun, but out of those two, I'd go with Georgia - even without secondaries, you get one heck of a ship. Massa trades bit too much range for her gimmicks, but as T8, she have more opportunities to flex her secondaries in T8 only games or those sporadic top tier games, also historical value + she's preserved as museum.

It is very much working as intended, so you don't have too much fun playing T8 cruisers. Also if you think "T9 - T10 ships have more armor", you're in grave mistake. More range? technically yes, in practice very few ships enjoy particular improvement unless you put spotter plane/range mod. Consumables? Well, yes, you have heal so you can give BBs extra salvo worth of damage on you.

While secondaries can be fun (and effective given right circumstances), main gimmick of Massa/Georgia is fast reloading heal.
