Well, other voice actresses did overall a good job of expressing characters they are voicing, but psychotic Roon is just notch above usual "torpedoes to port"

Roon do have many screws loose Congrats on getting the best voiceover from entire batch as well.

Only if tig ol bitties content in WoWs was actually worth investing into... The same money is much better spent on AL and then getting prem ship of choice in WoWs. My main issue with "AL" camouflages is they just don't look AL, just some random (technically, reusing character palette) colors that could pass as regular camo. Closest to "AL" would be Atago ears pasted onto bow and even that is hardly noticeable. WoWs Blitz AL camouflages, or rather remodels is something I'd expect, albeit I have difficulties imagining how such Atago skin would look. I guess plain grey hull/turrets, to match her rigging but white superstructure with gold buttons/line/decals, her sword somewhere in the back and her ears for rangefinders?

All secondaries sans German ones kept old HE pen because Wargaming, while lowered penetration bonus made a lot of them ineffective. 127mm - 21mm base, 26mm with IFHE 100mm - 17mm base, 21mm with IFHE 152mm - 25mm base, 31mm with IFHE Only "relevant" threshold achieved is on French 100mm, as they gain ability to hurt DD hulls and BB superstructures, at major expense of fire chance and 4 points, which are already sparse when you go full secondary. And odd carrier hull if you ever get close to one.

Raczej całą plantację. I drugą w rezerwie na wszelki zaś By zaoszczędzić Ci epopei pod tytułem "Wargaming i ten mityczny user feedback" po prostu użyję gifa

Let me repeat counter question: why? If you somehow keep bumping into USN T8+ battleships, Vladdy or odd Riga, then I suppose it makes sense. On 234mm armed cruisers its literally "fluff you Kremlin" option, as its the only ship it would make difference. And scoring citadels with HE against Smolensk, but you already overmatch that with AP. Improves HE pen by 25%, just as description says. Whether you can actually make use of improved pen is another matter and then you have major fire chance penalty.

I'll take chances with being alone than actually witnessing non potato teammates in randoms

Nope because that would imply refunding players and admiting defeat with the REEEwork

Directly from premium store Most lines that appear in WoWs are custom recorded for the game, only one line that I'm certain was directly ripped from AL is Azuma line when she's paired with Deutschland. This line is used as "swearing" in WoWs And from 3rd batch voiceovers Roon takes the spotlight by force

Wargaming repeatedly stated they have no interest in "skill based" MM outside of occasional Ranked (and even those rules are first to be overriden when game can't be formed quickly enough)

This much is known by years at this point. There is a reason why bagging two DDs and getting a cap or two is recipe for basically guaranteed top exp position. Though, personally, damaging BB should be rewarded more given effort needed short of stuffing one with torps. Because BB guns aren't punishing enough when everyone and their mom have underwater citadel

Game will not be balanced because imbalance "there is always bigger fish" is core element of the game. And as World of Tanks show, correct amount of unpredictability and frustration can turn one small company into worldwide corporation, so why change winning formula? Don't like it? Don't play it. Can't be any simpler than that. That sounds like correct usage of terrain to block LoS while someone else is spotting you. And justly so, because tier 7 BB have no issues obliterating tier 9 cruiser unless you're playing Gneisenau or other small caliber BB against US/German heavy cruiser.

You mean shooting smallest ships first, unless you can reliably nuke overextending battleships with torpedo spread?

AL staff probably considers PR ships to be "long term" investment - after all, players who took their sweet time to grind them are more likely to purchase skins/rings for them. Also additional dock expansions to not be bothered with "dock full" too often. And for WG part - most lines are custom recorded and not yoinked from AL game, so something, probably, goes to the voice actresses.

Randomly guessing spending even half on Azur Lane directly will probably help them more than through whatever cut WG is planning to give them.

And then AL took few... ideas from WoWs before collab started. Smoke screen and HE improving skills on Belfast, AP oriented skill on Edinbruh, HE/fire chance skill on Atago would be one quickly top off my head

Conqueror/Tsunderer WILL eat "massive pen damage" from Yamato class, heavy cruisers and IFHE infused CLs due to 32mm plating everywhere. As long as you're not facing these, they can be quite tough cookies when angled.

"Quality of life" the Russian way Don't ask me why they added build version into game directory structure (folder "2697511" as of now) but they did. So after every patch or hotfix, build version will change, so will change mentioned folder, so you will have to update Firewall permissions.

Since 0.9.6 patch WG changed and will keep changing path to game executables, including essentially built in web browser to open Armory. AS of now (0.9.6.1), path for it is "World of Warships\bin\2697511\bin64\cef\cef_browser_process.exe", make sure it is permitted in firewall.

For the same reason why Buffalo for some reason loses two seconds on reload despite using exactly the same turrets and guns as Baltimore. Or why Helena and Cleveland have different HE pen and reload, despite using the same shells, guns and turrets Balans

This is something very rare nowadays. And then, only "drama" I recall surrounding AL involved certain Halloween loading screen... I suppose, if all you can reee about is hilariously overdrawn Halloween screen (that came from community contest no less), then odds are Manjuu/Yongshi together with Yostar as publisher do pretty good job at managing their game. Players want cute girls (with definition of "cute" varying), devs deliver alongside skins of varying flavors, everybody happy. And then collab with WoWs - its night and day how companies handle it. WG considers it ez moneygrab, with AL you get all "collab" content for free, skins arrive later, sometimes much later. Granted, getting these shipgrills requires considerable effort, but even if you skip "cute" part, they are top of the line in terms of combat effectiveness.

That still involves slugging through tiers 1-5, only to get overall mediocre CA in the end.

What if... Rossija is balanced as BB should be, without bias involved?

Kirov is no longer silver ship...
