I have like 450 on my WoWs account, over 5k on my WoT account and I will NOT buy any doubloons/gold before they unify it as promised.

I love sarcasm, have a +1

Even if it's that simple it diverts their attention from the important stuff! But for the anime fans I'm happy that they get their (IMO fugly) skins...

I'm not against because of the switchable theme, if someone wants to use that, be my guest. I'm against it because I think there are a 1000 or more better ways for the devs to spend their time on this game.

The 127mm is the historical belt armor (citadel) thickness of the Cleveland class light cruisers. The Aoba had a maximum armor of 76mm. Keep in mind that both ships are virtually from another era, as the Aoba is from the 1920's and the Clevelands are from the 1940's with some modern war experience incorporated into their design. I like both ships, the Aoba for it's guns and the Cleveland for it's durability.

The Hood is a renowned name and I respect her history and unfortunate demise but I've voted no. Reason is that I don't think the premium ships in this game are worth their real money value.

I guess they will be implementing premium gun barrels soon...

The moment this game stops to be fun for me, I will quite playing. That said I also get fun from performing well and having a impact on games, but fun is the key (for me).

I did notice a change and that is that a Cleveland is much easier to citadel now than it was before. I also noticed that while sailing one myself (heartbeat after being hit). Also the slow travel time and rainbow trajectory make the Cleveland less fun to play and not OP anymore (IMO).

Yea, or make a recycle bin where a deleted captain is kept for another couple of days/weeks.

Starting in WW1 (around Jutland) ships were getting equipped with mechanical targetting systems, before this time they relied on manual systems resulting in RN hitratio of 3% during Jutland. These rangekeepers still needed the data to be manually processed by sailors so when these were getting fatigued the accuracy suffered once more. In WW2 the first computers were introduced in rangekeeping, these were analog computers. Radar was also incorporated during WW2 into these computers for targetting purposes. Read it all here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rangekeeper very interesting stuff! It's not only about opticals but also what to do with the information obtained (i.e. processing information), therefore you see historical differences in first salvo and progressing salvo's accurracy between the different nations.

Airplane torps are harder to avoid, they are dropped very close to your ship (and often CV player will let you respond to the planes first and then make the attack). So this depends on CV captain skills if you can dodge any of the torps. Next to that when the CV is 1 or 2 tiers higher than your BB you will most likely not kill a single plane while being attacked, so no punishment there for the CV captain). I think CV balance is fine, it's these annoyances that make it hard to accept (like dropping torps from an Island). In short: awareness and reacting to the situation will keep you "relatively"save from torps (ship and air launched), I will ignore the quirks there are currently in the game in this statement .

True, I don't know (and I didn't check), so this could be true. However I would like a depot like WoT has!

They are indeed unlocked, but you have to buy them again (silver)... so that's not very nice. Same goes for when you sell a ship you will loose all modules for that ship, when you rebuy it you need to purchase (silver) all upgrades again.

Yes, I doubt that

Don't forget barrel wear, gunbarrels were only able to sustain a rather limit number of rounds fired before needing to be replaced (100-300 rounds depending on calibre?).

I can confirm from experience that ship launched torpedos have no arming range and can kill point blank, opposed to airplane launched torpedos.

When a BB can't be killed by HE you are destroying the balance of the game, i.e. when a cruiser is last enemy vs your BB you will win as he can't pen you with AP and can't kill you with HE. BB's can be frustrating but I find them getting better with each tier. Did even like the tier 3 and 4 ones!

this ^^

Yea, gold will happen but not free xp. But that's just my feeling as well.

There is nothing wrong with your hardware as listed, I would check if the Nvidia GPU is being used for the game. This rig should be able to run the game on max settings without any sweat, so there must be something wrong in the way it's setup now (hard- or software wise). Also try to reinstall the newest drivers from geforce.co.uk. I think you can rule out the game as the source of the problems.

Yea, I like the Wyoming too. Nice number of guns and once upgraded not too sluggish.

Good stuff!

Your confusing the Omaha with the Phoenix https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AIM-54_Phoenix

That would be really cool! You can even think about scenario's where you have to defend troop landings (shore bombardment) or defend convoys from landbased aircraft etc, very much PVE and PVP options!
