This. Valid questions shall be answered, hurt butts shall be spanked for extra hurt, trolls shall get trolled and moderators kept busy. @Asashio_Kai_Ni A lot has been said already, but to hammer home the point - shelve Asashio until account level 15, without captain skills and upgrades you're at SERIOUS disadvantage, even more so as tier 8 have somewhat rocky matchmaking, which may or may not induce rage at times (why I'm spotted all out of a sudden in smoke - thats Surveillance Radar for example). If you can hold her until you get "silver" tier 8, the better - tutorials and videos are handy, but without practice you won't get far. As you're stuck with torpedo boat anyway, you want keep to sail around with torpedo launchers as active weapon most of the time - Priority Target captain skill shows its user they are being targeted with Main Battery - so if you sail around with guns active, spot someone, get even accidental lock on them, switch to torps, launch them and go back to guns, if said guy uses Priority Target will notice someone aims at him, then nothing, then aims again. That's tell tale of someone launching torps. Which you can use for your advantage - "fake" launching torps to force turn and launch them at later time or even different target, as changing course usually opens up broadside to someone else, which might be enough for their demise. Ship reviews are also worth watching to get an idea what other ships can do. And in case of Yuro, to have a laugh. A lot of it Keep in mind, due to CV rework arriving recently, a lot of CV and anti air related guides are obsolete now.

Show me replay where main armament of a surface ship gets destroyed simply by proximity to enemy ship(s) on regular basis.

She still packs Russian 130mm guns with their ballistics, so AFT is perfectly sound choice for some open water jackassing. She is only ship in PA line capable of that though, Gadjah Mada as adept at gunboating, but not of long range variety. Same with US based destroyers.

With Fushun, due to perfectly workable, if not one of the better set of torps at tier 6 you can't really call her "essentially gunboat". She can pew pew with the best and she can torp people just fine while having 2nd best concealment at tier 6 after Hatsuharu while speed and agility is far from bad. Bussian Rias chinese edition

No właśnie też się zastanawiałem. Ale potem spojrzałem na angielską wersję i się prawie wyjaśniło. Prawie bo potem pojawiła się korekta o rekordowy exp, a nie średni #justWGthings

Not even WG knows that CM barely have any AA for self defense, let alone providing AA screening for anyone as long range AA is extra speschul

Bitwy wygrane jako członek dywizjonu (lub w pojedynkę) nie będą zaliczane na poczet wydarzenia. Battles won while being in a division (or solo) will be counted. Spowodujcie wytrzeźwienie tłumacza w trybie pilnym bo aż w oczy szczypie

Midway excels at destroyers. Hakuryu is on other hand "only" very good at delivering unhealable damage to cruisers and battleboats with AP bombs and TBs, with latter being good scouts as well. Rockets are better than Midways HVARs, more accurate and hits harder, lacking only penetration to touch battleships. If anything Midway is easier to use, just make sure HE bombs connect. With APs you need to to hit right spot at right time/angle. TBs ("short" range ones) are infinitely better than Midways. Easier to plant, hits harder and planes are much better

Outrunning isn't even needed, when speed difference is single digit knots, it gives often enough time to evade them.

Fushun initially might scare you with glacial turret traverse, but once you add Expert Marksman things get much better. Basically ship is "done" with 12lvl (Priority Target OR Preventative Maintenance (up for debate), Last Stand to keep engine/rudder working, Survivability Expert because you can't go wrong with more hp on DD and Concealment Expert for extra sneaky, which WILL be critical especially when uptiered. Top it off with Expert Marksman and you're good to go, Basic Firing Training and Torpedo Armament Expertise should you ever got captain up to 18-19lvl for her

With 0.8.2 release should be another week (or so) free retraining period, unless WG cancelled that. You mean captain WG keep throwing at me at regular intervals simply by playing?

Add to that real life level of torpedo damage, floods/fires you can't just put out with magic button and we might have a deal. Oh and add radar not going through islands, but with 15-20km detection and active 24/7, available for USN/UK/Germans/basically everyone except IJN ships giving lead indicator. I mean radar guided FCS and stuff. Muchos realismos and all that nonsense

Thank god every ship have CIWS to shoot down those pesky shells, while said ships also have to worry about running out of ammo... /s

Skillful aim in accurate (battle)ship is also very effective in this game, so nerf that too when we're at "removing skill gap"

You mean WoWs Blitz?

Yep. Replace all the ships with universal "tier 1", "tier 2" etc and let players grind/buy skins for them. Balans: 100% (ABV)

Funny because I find Haku to be more than playable. And by logic "Midway can land 35 torp hits", maybe we should buff BBs too? After all, its not rare for Minotaur to land 400+ hits, while baBBies struggling to put out more than 60 hits

Since when WG "higher up game devs" interacts with EU players?

You mean something announced before 0.8.0 hit?

Reading? Maybe. Posting excel tables?

Before CV rework (patch 0.8.0) planes passing over torpedoes could spot them, no longer the case.

Back in the day I had idea of flak being limited to long range AA, overlapping with small/mid caliber AA (lets say 1-5.8km) and deals less damage BUT: -flak bursts cause temporary panic effect on planes, screwing accuracy -amount/pattern of flak is tied to ship DP guns. So Iowa would deliver 10 flak bursts every 6s, while Fletcher would deliver 5 every 3.3s. That gives window to drop ordnance on BB, while constant stream of flak would make damaging DDs tricky High rof DP guns, like German 105 could be adjusted to have little panic effect, due to them being, well, small caliber DP guns in comparison

German "shark" theme looks tad too goofy IMO. While I'd like to see/hear AL DoY, I can't stand WoWs DoY accuracy, making her obviously not very thrilling to play, despite all the gimmicks. Other than her, no memorable AL characters present in WoWs comes to mind. Maybe Helena, presumably moaning about her missing radar

ever vigilant Yuro guides, even if tad dated due to captain skills changes.
