PT-LS-SE-CE as baseline for any DD that isn't russian, then go with what you consider useful. Mine Akizuki/Kitakaze have BFT, SI and AR tacked on top of base skills. Keep in mind, until Akizuki you have rather torpedo oriented ships.

keep in mind such "missions" are usually for free, enabled from appropriate announcement with opt-in button.

*cough* DoY *cough*

Probably there would me missions which give these... but that would require actually posting article about AL with appropriate toggle there

Can we remove most or RU tech tree, as majority of ships fly under the flag with hammer and sickle and carry names associated with Stalinist regime? oh wait...

WG (probably) will start changing when there will be an actual dip in revenue, so far it seems WoT playerbase decline is easily compensated with new and fascinating premium content, while WoWs Pay2Rico event was "the most successful to date" IIRC from some Q&A.

In AL you don't really have to spend, free gems (premium currency) you get easily can cover dock/dormitory expansion which are way more useful than (animated) set of tiddies WG simply sticks to principles that launched them from backwater post soviet company into world wide corporation with World of Tanks release a decade ago. Selling single items for price of entire games, applying correct amount of frustration and unpredictability with MM and RNG respectively being one of these.

Only relevant captain skill is Concealment and for destroyers, Last Stand. Rest is "nice to have" but hardly "must have".

But... but... sealclubbing tier 10s with tier 8 is peak of this game

This is part where you embrace pirate hat and notepad

That way you will be forced to embrace way of the whale if you're looking for particular character Or edit preferences.xml and enjoy voiceover anyway

I'm having relative success by using IJN DDs in gunboat specs with "torps are secondary". Still, I don't like these two downgrade over Akatsuki in terms of speed and torpedo flexibility/reload provided by 3x3 launchers. But, they don't even register on scale of "useful" as at these tiers even "gunboats" carry more than respectable torpedo payloads. And then "gunboat" Akizuki line carry the same torps and can launch just as many fishes due to TRB, should you find yourself in decent torpedo position.

Then you for some glorious reason end with metric jesuston of Russian skippers in reserve... despite having already third of the tech tree Or just roll with "I like this ship"... which ended with me having also quite a few of IJN botes

Just like we had last time?

Flolo taking jabs at WG... decisions is

Wheelchair grade speschul

Besides Roma and Tittorio Littorio, Montpelier and NANODA Yukikaze will return

But Czech(oslovakian)s had navy of river variety during period game covers. Are you sure Lesta can't invade Czech archives for two lines worth of battleships?

My suggestion would be to put top commanders on ships you play the most, little use of 17+ lv captain to rot on T10 you dislike playing but won't sell after all this trouble getting. Atago isn't bad ship but lost bit of her shine over the years. And as a cruiser, can accept and work decently enough with almost any captain, obviously IJN CA one being perfect match skill wise. In terms of gameplay... play Mogami with 203 and see if you like her. If yes, then you might like Atago as well.

You mean gigaturbowhale bundle for 1k€?

Basic IJN CV lessons you should have with Ryujo already - which plane type handles which class best as well trying to not throw them in vain. And then Shokaku (top) rockets give you much needed anti DD boost simply by virtue of throwing 18 rockets instead 8. You also dump three bombs instead two with DB My suggestion - research Shokaku by playing with Ryujo and once you get Soaring Crane, spend Free Exp to get top rockets first That said, IJN CVs are about to get hit with rocket dispersion change (it will be horizontal instead vertical), so personally I wouldn't hurry too much with Ryujo and see how change actually plays out.

Precisely Though only "heavy" RU cruisers actually get 32+ plating. That and Goliath 40mm deck, but that ship is yeti tier rare at the best of days. And then TiTs should remain more than viable against larger ships (or DDs determined to keep AA on)

But are they truly mistakes, if WG keeps drowning in money? After all, Pay2Rico event was IIRC recognized as "the most successful Christmas event to date" from financial standpoint, despite all the drama lamas.

Until you notice Orlan... that just reployed red flare... and is healing
