    Can't mount bionic camos?

    Reload game, had similar issue fixed by good ol
  2. Haku is balanced. Just not the way Midway is.
  3. One does not simply read news headlines I guess...

    How am i supposed to support my team?

    You don't. You focus on farming damage and killing important ships (Lexi/Midway case) with spotting being byproduct. Flying across the map to plant only 1min CAP just because someone makes noise about "air cover" is detrimental to your dmg output, I pop them if they are near my squadron tho. Only if you can't find any opening or any semi isolated target you relegate yourself to spotting until you find one.
  5. No matter how many times Barney will throw wallet at the screen, WG still doesn't have Yorkie

    Hint

    I still wonder what kind of brick (or maybe it was bomb from Midway?) hit him to post stars everywhere. Or its PTSD from realizing no matter how busty 2d is, its still 2d

    Azur Lane - collaboration part 2

    Or everyone wonder what kind of pricing shenanigans WG will pull off this time.

    CVs and gaming enjoyment in WoWs: 2nd Survey

    I've played WT mostly for planes for which I got US Navy jets (which then got BR shafted HARD), played tonks up to tier 3 I think. Grind aside, shells having different properties (APCR/solid shot having pen, but relatively little impact on interior, APHE worse penetration but making mincemeat from the crew) could be borrowed. But simplifying it into "APCR less dmg" doesn't solve premium ammo spam, quite the opposite. And I don't recall ammo cost differences or they were inconsequential on good ol Shermans When I left WoT (early 2015), premium ammo for credits wasn't an issue simply because you could get by with regular AP and pinch of aiming skills in 90% cases. Maus had turret cheeks weakspots which you could angle, then yea, Mice became one tough cookie. Cookie that can't shoot back, so rather fair and square. Same with E-100. IS-7 hulldown was next to untouchable, but finding actual hulldown spot was rarity and unless you had 75mm peashooter, you could lob handful of HE at him to make sure he can't hit too many things with broken gun and/or ded gunner (consumables were one time use only, unless you brought two)

    Why does Grozovoi have better AA than Khaba?

    *Kek intensifies* DD to score actual plane kill needs CV player to repeatedly collect coins errr flak bursts. DFAA boosted dps fom DD is dangerous for tier 8 CV, but in tier 10 unless catching flak you should be able to safely leave AA with minimal to no losses only to return 30s later, when DFAA is on cooldown.

    Your optimism regarding premium ammo in WoT is overestimated. Damage nerf if anything means you need MORE gold plated rounds to do the same harm. Which means more premium tanks and accounts to be sold I don't see any way of "fixing" premium ammo without abandoning arcade-ish game mechanics and going way WT went, where you have different can openers for different cans. Or, you could fix issue of premium ammo by, well, reinstating actual weakspots in tanks so anyone willing to actually aim can save premium rounds for later. Or go way of WoTBlitz and narrow MM to +-1, so need for premium ammo is greatly diminished (and then in game is literal penetration indicator, showing you no go areas. But then tanks still have weakspots to exploit) For non tankers - premium ammo have increased penetration, which is one way of quick and easy dealing with heavily armored tanks. Said ammo is also very expensive (usually 3 to 5 times more than normal rounds), so generous use of it can easily outshine repair costs even of tier 10 tanks (imagine paying 250k on ammo alone in your Yamato). And unlike WoWs, you can't stack credit modifiers to no end for some obscene earnings.
  13. I don't hear anything, but seismograph starts picking up something. Something with familiar pattern... *running through database* Yep, brace yourself for another wave of butts cracking
  14. What was it? The tongue always turns to the sore tooth, or something like that
  15. Compared to "old" haul of Cleveland, Hipper and to an extent, Nelson out of 7 shipgrills, Neptune+Azuma out of 8 is somewhat a downgrade. Which doesn't really matter as most shipgrills are going to be hidden behind paywal with presumably exception of Azuma. And mayyyyybe released later as mission or somesuch. Though WG could bypass lack of "ships" to mate with shipgrills by cloning existing ships akin to Arpeggio whenever applicable. Indianapolis-Portland, Atlanta-San Diego-Juneau, Leander-Ajax-Achilles, Shokaku-Zuikaku, Helena-St. Louis, Enterprise-Yorktown [ @CptBarney intensifies] just to name a few, either as cheap "premiums" without economic gains or mission-marathon collector trophies + fancy voiceover
  16. https://medium.com/@devblogwows/azur-lane-collaboration-part-2-cdc5e8690ab0 In article WG mentions Kaga, yet of FB devblog its Shokek WG never disappoint

    Alaska appreciation!

    To be honest, any heavy cruiser in game have enough pen to handle cruiser citadel plating on most, if not all combat ranges and then you have Moskva with her balans guns without reload penalty induced by 305mm caliber.
  18. There are silver ships that could be Azur Lane'd too even if some aren't quite... memorable. Still, that didn't stopped WG from selling Cleveland and Hipper in the store, though latter appeared as a freebie. I wonder if this batch of collabs will be test bench for animated captains. Just a thought
  19. If in doubt, working as intended
  20. Panocek

    Azuma coming in 0.8.2

    Kron at least have lol hp pool and reasonably hidden citadel, unlike Azuma
  21. Dunno, regular debit card, something you usually get by opening any bank account works on Steam just fine and presumably in other stores as well
  22. I've preordered only one game and then only because I've got decent discount on doing so. And then game didn't ended well so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ One hint what was it I don't have issues with Upleb as I had Ubi account since Far Cry multiplayer times... which actually predates Steam by quite large margin
