    List of upcoming ships in WoWs (and means of distrbution)...

    Come on, we have supershits, too, with a Ffffffff button.

    How to make United States work

    The game is to crush other players souls. And the best thing is, you can either play poorly or very good - it doesn't actually matter! Demolish your enemies while your screeching laughs echo in their ears or idly sit by while the other supershit CV - the one you summoned from hell by playing one yourself - murders your teammates. Both will give you esteem with the dark lord and once (note - not "if") you enter through the gates of hell yourself, there will be a place of honour reserved for you, you will probably be chief fire stroker or something. Unfortunately WG wants it's share, so you might want to take up a loan and purchase some silver for real cash, there are some highly attractive offers on right now!

    Unfortunately no more info on Monmouth for now. Can we make Gibraltar great again before we offer it in another flavour? Are there plans? You just took away the overmatch/still meet arming threshold gimmick to blap DDs from any angle (not considering dispersion and a bow/stern in DD) and abandoned it.

    how to stop cheaters

    The mod also features a radar for concealed ships. But yes, this mod won't make a potato instantly successful - but it's still huge enough of an issue and it certainly will impact everyones damage output and survivability - even yours.

    Sevastopol or Gibraltar?

    Sevastopol is much younger than Gibraltar and is already been played almost as often. And with a higher success rate. And more Damage. Actually looking at the stats, it's just second to Balansgrad itself.

    As in "we deceided that providing this information would be uncomfortable to us"? I still love the word "uncomfortable". I use it all the time, now, at work, at university - thanks for that, at least.

    Compared to players like you, who possess all the skills which us scubs struggle with - maybe. Oh wait, that's what I wrote.

    Brawls

    You can chain Radar/Hydro/Radar seamlessly, just poke your bow or aft so you can still shoot but aren't spotted (spotting works from the center mass of the ship) and eat away at his bow or whatever seems juicy. The only disadvantage is that due to fantasy physics, the mino dislikes to stop, so be careful. Single aim torps mean very, very careful BBs, due to your speed you're the first in the cap, so they have to push at one point. I usually torp a spread with one launcher and then a few seconds after that, the second launcher single - all a bit in front of the spread, just where the ship is going to be if hits the irons and turns. That also works on Islands where he has to come around. DDs you eat for breakfast (just don't radar too early, let them come a bit closer - let them think you have smoke (why anyone would bring smoke in a 1 on 1 brawl is beyond me unless you bring Plymouth)).

    how to stop cheaters

    But this is exactly what I believe is questionable at least. If every potato gets a lead help, they'd hit much more. It wouldn't proably make as much of a significant difference to a very good player, but nonetheless. And the ability to see where shots are going to land... man, no one would hit me ever again in a Marceau/Colbert.

    how to stop cheaters

    But since it takes away all the aiming, leading and especially dodging skills you need to learn, you can focus on the others abilities. You know where I learned how to aim from? From just watching that aim lead helper mod video from ages ago, which was deemed cheating in the end. I learned to aim with german BBs of all the ships. Perfect aim, no hits, shooting in the general direction of the enemy, devstrike, having such a mod shortcuts on everything and yes, it will make you a better player, even if you don't use it anymore. Because being shown where to aim, again and again, trains you. And with such a mod in, say, a Colbert, I could be so much better in pissing on BBs while dodging shells. So, yes, I feel that this is copium again, @Seraphice. Yes, It comes with your job, but it's still insulting my intellectual feelings. And I fully expect you to ban cheaters, who use mods like this, forever.

    If you watch the replay, there are CVs around and no DD on my side. But yes, Incomparable gets hard shafted by the sky disease.

    Speed and Concealment... Quickly (40kts with flag and engine boost, there are many slower DDs) move into someones broadside undetected and blap him. Als Zombie heals. You don't get comparable gameplay anywhere. Don't get me wrong, Shiki ain't bad, either, and I played it much more often, it's just the more traditional BB of the two. 20221127_220603_PBSB610-Incomparable_50_Gold_harbor.wowsreplay

    Yes. But still, the ship is not worth it, do it for the steel, the coal, the flags, not for that disappointment.

    Don't get Shikishima, that thing is entirely powercrept by that Satsuma supershit. It was a sidegrade to Yamato (and I like it better, due to the faster reload). Ragnar is interesting to me but I'd probably wait for the Z-42. That seems to be a deadly mix between Sherman, Daring and Z-52 with a murderous DPM and usable torps, even though they have been nerfed recently. Let's see how much more nerfing is needed and in what state they will release it. The usual experience is that if it's russian, it gets released in a broken state and then nerfed for years, small increment by small increment. German ships, also, just the other way around.

    Karma Grief

    I've seen worse names in online games.I personally wouldn't, but I can fully understand anyone who reports you for it. War is getting way too close to comfort for the europeans who only knew peace in their lifetime. Since you only have yourself to blame, you don't have to make excuses here - Want it to stop? Change your name and see if it's that (or if it's your selfish sniper gameplay which we don't know about). But explaining everyone here how your name is the most elaborate, intriguing and refined social criticism won't help.

    how to stop cheaters

    Not going to post the video, because he's advertising the download link. I hope anyone downloading it gets a load of viruses along with it. Yes, it's not an aimbot per se, but the little x is the center mass if he's going straight forward (in this case the bot isn't moving) The yellow markers are predicted hit areas, for the enemy shells and for your own, in this case, secondaries. Now use this with something agile like a Colbert or Marceau, you can dodge so many more shells. Aiming would be improved without it being insane, RNG, accelleration and maneuvering still being a factor - but you wouldn't, say, mess up a straightlining Moskva at 20km any more. This should be easily detectable, if he's just looking at his ship to dodge and not the incoming shells, but that would require some programming skillz - and considering how well the chat ban function works, I don't have high hopes. @Seraphice @YabbaCoe Care to elaborate?

    The point is that the boat is trash - the damage output is anemic as is the torp count, it's sluggish and squishy. It is desingned to give maximum fun to players - BB players. In pictures, if that's easier to comprehend: And I like light cruisers. A lot. If being forced to play in the seal clubbing tiers, there are better ships available. Also, I bought it for the goodies and not the ship, I hoped it's a reasonable bonus on top. But if it's going to be a port queen, it's not worth anything to me.

    @WG: One-dimensional hightier random rounds.

    Ignoring people you don't agree with seems to be a fad, apparently agreeing to disagree is not possible in a culture where shouting louder is the measure for truth - and the only possibly satisfying solution is to completely eradicate someone with different opinions. But that is bovine excrement and for snowflakes who can't stand the heat. I certainly disagree with a lot of things @Atalante writes and yes, he's basically a bad person for playing CVs (especially on the red side), but that doesn't mean one can't take that side. He just goes to hell for it, but that isn't my concern.

    Gokase permanent bonus...

    RB ships are free exp ships in disguise. You might want to reconsider your spending habits everywhere if you believe that was a smart move - because you just got hornswoggled. What is cheaper: One egg for 1€ or two eggs for 1,50€? One egg, of course! Unless you need two.

    Gokase permanent bonus...

    Since someone dug out the WG patent for manipulating the matchmaking for making it more comfortable for players in the new tier, I can believe everything. You could easily modify RNG and doing it by either patches or camouflage is... well, it even used to modify RNG not so long ago. Yes, if there is nothing to spend your currency on, it basically becomes worthles. But that is more of an issue of the lack of ways to spend it. I see.

    Gokase permanent bonus...

    Yes, one can imagine more or less absurd scenarios where this won't be a huge failed investment but only a little less so - but seriously, it's way, way too expensive for what it is. Even at a quarter of the price, I'd think very hard about it, and then if only the T7 wasn't free later on, I'd like the gameplay and so on... This is something for people who think the newest I phone that came with their contract is actually free.

    An idea to increase the value and attractiveness of T2-4 premiums

    Tier 2 to Tier 4 (Tier 7, really) was always a stalking ground for seal clubbers, the balance is horrendous and that is what makes tier 10 worth it. At least it used to be. Not being uptiered was worth it. But suddenly, supershits. And potatos driving them, on my side of course.
