@FloatingTarget Just played Druid for you: 20230206_204920_PBSD510-Druid_46_Estuary.wowsreplay Never mind me throwing the smoke when the radar was running, the whole game was just a bit of rolling the face on the keyboard - but still top scorer. Just dakka untill the enemy dies. And do again. @Seraphice: Around the 14:45 timer there is the aim bug. I aimed for the Smolensk citadel, I pressed the free look RMB to look around and all of a sudden the thing lost the target and the shots went wide. When you freelook to far, this always happens and it's annoying because you lose a lot of awareness. That's why I didn't dare to freelook away from the BB later that match just and in turn getting shot by that halland... seriously, fix it plx.

Tier 9 is the new crap tier with supershits in the game. That being said: Groningen is a worse Sherman. I got both about the same time and I've never looked back at Groningen. Hayate is a Shima with worse conceal which can change the smoke for TRB. Dunno about guns, not really a favourite ship apparently. Also power crept by supershits. Don't have it. Ägir a secondary cruiser which was an idiotic concept in the first place and quite bad - and then additionally got with the commander skill rework - and nobody cared even then. Don't have it either. Basically, the answer is no unless you have a special interest in Hayate for some obscure reason. Also, depending on the price, might be easier to get for coal if you need free exp for RB ships. Which are also free exp ships, just more expensive and with a timer, unless you don't value your sanity, then you can grind it too. Without multiplier, even, but people that do also get a colonoscopy for fun.

Gibraltar.

Skill issue. Man, drop it if you suck at it. But stop disparaging my Druid, I tell you....

Then, as my representative, you could.. maybe, make that suggestion to your overlords?

With a poll of about 2000 people, you can predict votes of a few millions within a few percent. 200 votes for a game a few 100k players play should be sufficient to get an impression - at least it's a start since WG won't share the top sekrit "silent majority" polls. It's better and more accurate than this guy, for sure: And negative bias? Where would that come from? Do you think everyone gets influenced by, say, me, who hates CVs with a passion? That they came here actually enjoying the CV gameplay untill they read about it and then started loathing them? Nah man, everyone hates CVs since the first time they met one. You might not like the results, but the poll has some merit. True, the statistical dispersion might not be small, but the trend is certainly meaningful.

Writing all caps with a questionable orthography and calling other players "[edited]"... ok, if you had the stats to back it up - harsh, but ok. But you? Nah man, you're also liability to your team, stop whining when someone else lost harder than you could. Edit: Seems like the forum has a hiccup with the images again...

Skill issue. In a 1 on 1 Sherman vs. Druid, the Sherman can do nothing but die. You might want to learn how to blind fire, Druid with it's high fire rate is very good at shooting blind target from smoke and due to the two turrets up front can't reliably be blindfired in return. Sherman on the other hand is broadside in the smoke most of the time, due to the turret layout - most players go forward and then turn a bit, so they can use all their guns. Due to it's high rate of fire, there is rarely a doubt about the ships attitude and you can home in on the midships. You can chunk half their HP before the Sherman even can accelerate away when you get him at short ranges. Or if you're hydroed by a Sherman, just charge and mop the floor with him. The only DD that isn't food for the Druid is the DD that doesn't get spotted. But again - some ships click, some don't. Sorry man. Druid and Gibraltar rarely do.

For some reason I can make Gibraltar and Druid work. But I wouldn't recommend either ship to anyone, they're very much special interest and neither ship is forgiving or plays like anything else with the all (well, mostly) forward battery, the dragster acceleration and lack of HE and Torps. Even the Druids derp charges are... special. Mostly I'd say, some ships just click with you - or they don't. If they don't, tough luck, play something that does. I'm not opposed to a buff for the Druid because I rather like the ship, but seriously, it's good. Gibraltar on the other hand positively needs a buff. If you check the best players on the ship for their solo win rate in that tub, most don't go above 60%.

If you are - on average - losing more than you are winning, you ain't gud. It's a you issue, no matter where on the scoreboard you are. For example, if you're camping on the J line, flinging HE all game, you might score high, but you still are ineffective and a liability to your team. I personally can't recommend yuro enough - check his "how to" guides. Some are outdated, though: https://www.youtube.com/@Yurobeat Also, the forum isn't only for bitching, there are a lot of valuable hints and advice available. Some players post replays, that's also a good way to learn how to play a ship more effectively. Positioning is often key, more so than the difference between good and perfect aim.

If you don't need the radar range or hydro instead of dfaa and/or you don't fancy the legmod...

https://shiptool.st says so. Edit: https://shiptool.st/selected?s=BC710BC610BC210&c=top&p=con Onl 33% citadel instead of 50%, but the same 40% heal....

Come on, no need to threaten him with reason when he's having a righteous outrage.

Ranked.

WG has exactly the opposite stance. You know, to prevent steamrolls. Is no steamroll when it take long time to kill stragglers - da, comrade!?

Monmouth is the HE Gibraltar? Go away with that thing, I want to stay unique with my Gibraltar. Which needs a buff, btw, @Seraphice Say, overmatch 21mm, for great justice. Or the Goliath Zombie heal. I mean, even Monmouth gets it... AND torps.

I just press radar to know.... Also, the creep is more of a defensive tool, pushing in with a smoke in a mino is hardly a sustainable choice.

This. You can play it either with smoke or with balls.

I personally like Mino. You can play it with either smoke or balls.

U-4501 anyone?

Man, don't. Now that you say it, what a great idea! Use your dubs to buy premium and then go for the extra experience flags. Don't mind the naysayers, supershit upkeep is actually reasonably cheap and your whole team just loves and adores a brand new low PR CV player, they'll literally throw their hard gained reports compliments at you. And should you really run out of money, WG got you covered: you can always buy more silver using these worthless real money things your day job earns you.

Easy mistake to make, but it should have been "Admiral Bitching"

Anyone manages to view attacking dive bombers and dodge them accordingly? I mean, I can't even look at them and the CV gets a cutscene taking a dump on it's victim.

Actually as it's going to target BBs or the supercruisers and both are in dire need of a culling, it's the least bad addition.
