    New player chiming in..

    One of the very few Atlanta strengths is AA firepower. Also CA is heavy cruiser, CL is light cruiser. DD is destroyer. If you want to correct others, make sure you're correct to start with...

    Now this is what I call an update......

    Or platoon/division with one for guaranteed plane farming
  4. internet sheeps r srs bsness But nonetheless, russian derpstroyers are simply unsuitable for dd hunting. Good at APmolesting cruisers and baBBies, maybe random fire caused here and there, but one does not simply spot IJN DD while having at least 2km worse camo...

    ARP Mission Difficulty

  6. At least I might be able to unstock Udaloi and maybe even get 15lvl kaptun. But I still won't go and chase Shimas with multiple BB support like Elb-guy wanted to

    Will the Arpeggio of Blue Steel event come back?

    No one knows if missions will be repeated. So far Kirishima and Haguro didn't appeared on EU, both are available on Asia though. And don't bother asking WG EU staff, no one knows anything and if they know they won't tell you more than "its working as intended, move along and buy premium bundle"

    Will the Arpeggio of Blue Steel event come back?

    Knowing WGEU next batch of missions will give back black and purple Kongo, for only 25mil dmg and 1000 kills done at tier 8+ Though I wouldn't mind getting Takao, free copy of totally underperforming Atago sheep

    Will the Arpeggio of Blue Steel event come back?

    But then in one of Q&A there was mention "EU will take a break from Arpeggio events". Ships wise, one Kongo class (Kirishima) and 3 Myoko class are left, with Haguro is ready for release

    Collector's Gem of the Month: Błyskawica

    Concelament and Demo combines nicely, as Błyskawica is spotted around 10.1km or so, giving you almost 2km margin for setting world on fire. Prior that, AFT and abuse the hell out of it. Expert Marksman is also worth noting, as turret traverse isn't exactly stellar by default.

    Why play the "Blyskawica" when...

    While Błyskawica is more suited for HEspamming angled BBs and/or cruisers with some fires tossed into the mix.

    Why play the "Blyskawica" when...

    Actually 120mm HE is more effective than russian 130mm in damage per shell and I think HE penetration - if HE shell doesn't penetrate it deals no damage, only rolls fire chance and damages AA/secondaries within radius. And certainly Błyskawica guns are much more effective than Cleveland 6in guns against New Mexico superstructure - latter is notorious for 0dmg hits against it, while 120mm shells damage it without a problem. Logic 404 not found Russian 130mm sweet spot is definitively AP to the broadside, below 12km, when trajectory is decently flat you can score 4k+ salvoes against BBs. Every 5s

    AP is worse for sure, but HE is more potent, better fire chance and heavier salvo (7 shells) can make quite an oomph.

    Why play the "Blyskawica" when...

    Błyskawica doesn't lose turrets every time someone looks at them

    getting ready to sell the mogami....

    Welcome to hightier cruisers, enjoy your citadel. The same lack of progress is in USN branch too Though Ibuki can be made workable as she, tier 9 vessel, gains 6th upgrade slot. One of these uber expensive upgrades is 16% main battery range, combined with concealment build it allows firing unspotted. As dull and boring it is, its pretty much only way to endure between high tier battleships.

    Cleveland Role

    "Tips and tactics" can vary greatly between ships even within the same branch. Short range brawling with Pensacola can be pretty much death sentence, as ship is just made of glass and 203mm certainly doesn't have dpm to back it up, which is one of the reasons Pepsi isn't exactly popular (bad stock ship, sudden shift in gameplay, encountering BB power spike they enjoy from tier 7 onwards). Citadels no, but shots on superstructure/bow/stern when broadside prints regular pen damage. Same goes for russian 130mm DD guns

    Cleveland Role

    Cleveland is, just like Des Moines, dedicated short range brawler, outgunning pretty much everything except perfect BB salvo nuking your ship. AA is secondary role. So instead staying at max range and delivering fireworks display, find a way to get closer. Alternatively you can fire over islands, it can be quite effective in late game, when there are few ships left And when close and personal, that is below 8km, AP gets frighteningly effective against broadside cruisers and battleship superstructure. Still, Cleve is pretty much obsolete compared to totally balanced RU cruisers
  20. Had it for ages in tabs, but can't be always arsed to password it
  21. So, finally rashian boat that can invisifire. This should be interesting
  22. When stars scrubs align, even rashian derpstroyer can into torpedoing
