  1. Dispersion formula is the same as on any other cruiser, though there is a "lock on" bug going on for quite some time. Basically if ship you were aiming at disappears and then reappears, interface suggests you still have lock on, but somehow dispersion bonus from said lock on isn't applied. Basically unlock and lock again to fix that.
  2. Entire russian line from Kirov onwards is all about "high speed, NO maneuverability glass cannons for long range shelling". Moskva can tank when angled for hilarious amount of time, but when caught broadside, she can disappear faster than Minotaur. Reload does improve on tier 6-8, as you go down in caliber. Tier 9 brings you back to the same reload and caliber, albeit with much better ballistics and you get turret extra.
  3. He meant WG every so often put up marathon with premium ship as a reward or as in Cossack case, you could buy her for as low as 1€ when you've completed directives/chain mission. You can expect one for christmas, as so far its WG tradition to put up tier 6 or 7 ship (so far tally is Graf Spee, DoY, PEF) as well several silver ships of tier 6+permanent camo, in case you'd want to start new line or something

    Why are DD's so poor these days.

    Dunno, maybe I should return my Jutland because no way I can get 2s reload on her, even with gun reload mod as torps are mediocre. Also requirement of IFHE to not embarass myself when having DD aware how angling works, 34kts top speed and all I see is crappy Fletcher knockoff.

    The Thing About Destroyers...

    Not so much pointless, as skill being literally working as intended - when you have the skill and somebody aims at you with main guns selected, you get number of people aiming at you. When they switch to torps, number goes down as, well, torpedoes =/= main guns. Which you can play around, by sailing on torpedoes selected most of the time, switching to guns when you actually intend on using them. Also you can play mind games, pretending to launch torps (show broadside, switch to torps, wait two-three sec, go back to guns) and then launch torps properly. As much as I consider Fushun and following Gadjah Mada one of the best multipurpose DDs at their own tier, tier 8 onwards are unfortunately simply inferior variants of USN ships, so you might want to reconsider starting another line there.

    27% would be fine on any even moderately sized doubloon pack that can get you decent ship. But not on package you burn to respec and retrain single captain.

    Entire immunity window was added simply because WG wants you to see firework without using RMB key

    There is bigass difference between "up to" and "almost".

    How to french DD? - Builds and Playstyle

    Personally I had this on all my FR DD from Fanta onwards AFT gives healthy range boost for open water shenanigans after dealing with enemy DDs around cap or team refuses to get even remotely close to them. Alternatively Year of the Carrier rears its ugly head again and with no smoke, you'd want to stick close(r) to friendly AA.

    Still doesn't make WG any more saint in terms of their wording. As price reduction carried out weeks ago basically equalized amount of doubloons per currency. And just because two cheapest options fits into "almost 30%", mostly because they were so ridiculously overpriced to begin win, I dare you to buy premium ship for 500 and 1000 doubloons respectively

    Not only turbocheap Massa, but also shoehorned into cruiser slot

    Because there is no 30% discount on the ships, just like there is no 30% discount on doubloons either And while english isn't my first language, "almost 30%" could mean 28%, 25%. 20%, if we're being generous. But +-10% discount WG carried out few weeks ago (on ALL items, not just doubloons) doesn't really fit into "almost 30%" EDIT comparing WoT gold and WoWs doubloon prices, this "mythical" 30% discount applies to... 1k doubloons pack, with next being 500db pack with 27% discount. The bigger package, the lesser discount, with no price change whatsoever for 30.5k pack. So in theory, "almost 30%" fits. But I don't see many people buying multitude of 1k packs to get premium ship from the armory. Which nets less doubloons per currency than larger packs anyway.

    Then you must be some third grade customer or somesuch
  14. Because glorious Russian metallurgy gave Russian battlebias option to show pure, enriched middlefingerium to peasant ships with HE shells Also it have barely superstructure to land hits onto as well.

    Armory coupon for premium ships is mentioned separately in the same mail, its not the case of "misunderstanding". Doubloon discount from the store is simply missing. And it wasn't phrased "30% coupon for store purchases" either, plain out 30% doubloon discount.

    Store Coupon could be used for other goods than doubloons alone. And then, when you want to advertise to everyone coupon is available, it would be a decent-ish idea to do so earlier than week after it expires

    Why are DD's so poor these days.

    Because playerbase quality went to the drain years ago, now its somewhere on the bottom of the ocean I guess If you give destroyers means to "do damage" from afar, you will almost always find someone with that specific option *cough* 20km Shima *cough*

    Premium Ship to farm money ?

    Tier 7 USS Indianapolis, bog standard USN heavy cruiser, so you can move captains freely. Also she handles almost like Pepsicola, have "normal" turret traverse and plenty of range should severe uptiering occur. Also can participate in Narai PvE operation for some casual farming. Tier 6 won't bring you as many credits as you would hope for. Still, completing Anniversary directives will give you container with guaranteed tier 6 ship and then there is risk of finding ship in supercontainers you pick up along the way.

    Why are DD's so poor these days.

    Kagero have hp in line with normal destroyers, that is Benson and Lightning. Only large destroyers in shape of Z-23, Kiev and Fantasque class have more, while two of these "large destroyers" are casually outgunned by "japanese torpedo boat", as if having 1km concealment advantage wasn't enough

    And how many plane kills are actual strike aircraft?

    BB outruns a DD in speed???

    But you know heal presence will be countered by adding new and interesting shells with ever increasing alpha damage to brutalize your fancyboat with overpens alone in single salvo?

    -how many gimmicks she will need? -yes

    What are the best DDs for next tactic

    Both yolo and searching for new lifeforms in A1 aren't examples of good gameplay. And just because teamwork in randoms is a curse word, doesn't mean you have to throw games for others. Play for yourself but do your damnest to win within capabilities of your boat.

    What are the best DDs for next tactic

    This is why for doing dumb stuff you have coop. In randoms, you're stuck with 11 other players quite a number of which prefer to win instead yolo their way through.
