Ships come with their own captains and port slots, and these are available only with Yokosuka port. These ships don't have increased income but can train other Arpeggio captains ONLY.

One more kawaii Kongo and Myoko are to be obtained. And 25% cheaper repairs on hightiers

Baltimore for sure. And for me Tashkent was better to play than supposedly OP Kiev...

Well, USN as a whole have strong AA as their trait. Toss some skills, upgrades and fact AA is only semi-useful "build" for battleships and here you go.

Ctrl+F5 for forced refresh gets the job done too

WG doesn't always follow logic...

Target Acquisition is pretty much go to upgrade for battleships, combined with Vigilance makes day and night difference for torpedo evasion. With ruining island ambushers day as a bonus.

She seems to be okay USN DD trainer as well (SA is all you need anyway), battleships not so much.

In the middle of the ship. If you can't evade all the torps, try to catch it amidships instead bow/stern

So, Freedumbs got new boat? Flat out better Pepsicola it seems (same guns, actually working camo, radar, better vertical armor)

Alternatively "have you tried to turn it off and on again", with poll about support quality following

Tashkent B hull upgrade is "what if ship survived till late war for refit", so WG can go fantasy and mount all the nazi railguns to make fanboys happy...

Rashian sheeps doesn't conceal, its not communist to do so

Get Gearing, spec it camo and farm dem derpstroyers While still having decent torps on board.

Yet BB certainly can enjoy DD torps/CV planes forcing enemy ships to show broadside. CA won't mind DD/planes spotting enemy destroyers/cruisers either. You don't have to rely on teammates in CV, just don't expect it to be point and click adventure game.

Question is, how much effort or luck one needs for "used properly" part. From my experience hightier cruisers are rather difficult to play when you have battleship nearby, with Russian destroyers coming second. Battleships in torpedo soup are hardly fun either. Hightier IJN CV with all the squadrons can be demanding when trying to manage them, but with some skills and knowledge CV players certainly can impact the battle.

Are you implying there is no balance when you can't pew pew with your Yamato in peace, without torps, planes and HE bothering you?

http://forum.worldofwarships.eu/index.php?/topic/52567-torpedo-myself-in-a-dd-realy/ On other hand, I sail Udaloi myself... shall I be scared?

I'd say even more, its working as intended I'm not sure if I want to repeat the same with upgraded torps on Udaloi...

Its even worse than E50 weak...

Just like unheard of is getting AA cover in randoms from random people.

Except after 1000lb pounding done right - quick get in, bombs and get out, using TB as AA bait any ship loses plenty of AA, so next bombing runs will get in and out with less and less casualties. Not mentioning HEspraying from cruisers, that is quick way to shave AA off the ship as well.

And once you get your shiny Dank Karolina, set her up full AA only to witness Lexi strike deliver her payload just fine. Not many planes returning home, but bombs on target nonetheless.
