I played a lot of Druid recently untill I switched to mainly playing Colbert - and the pressure to do a stupid is way less in a CL! It's very hard to get out of that "must contest cap at all costs" mindset and with Colbert, I hardly glance at the opposing setup, where with the DD I check very thoroughly for radars, possible radars, divisions, opposing player quality and especially team player quality - will they support me contesting the cap or will they uselessly [edited] around behind an island? I don't win nearly as much with the clochard as I do with the Druid, but it's way more fun and relaxing, even though you are prone to violently disintegrating in a heartbeat. But nothing is as stressfull as tanking 4 000 000+ dmg by dodging individual BB shells. This with the supercruiser epidemic and the "fun and engaging" supershits makes it much harder to play effectively in my opinion. On the other hand, that "oops... ah well" thing can be attributed to the Colbert.

Mixed up your smileys, eh? This is the one you were looking for...:

Yes.

@Seraphice I can purchase the battle pass at any point and get awarded all the stuff retroactively? Is that correct?

Can you imagine how BBabies whine about other classes?

About 6 times as many as you really, really need. Also Adrenaline Rush.

For your sake, no.

Stealth radar is just so much better. And Edin has it, too. Yeah, one could level these things with smoke, of course, I just ironmanned it.

Let's focus on tier 10 to not be unfair in our comparison - of course you have to fight harder to make Neptune work alone because of being uptiered and also it being the T9 stinker, just like what Izumo is to Yamato.

Only and really only when you know you will meet a CV, by for example teaming up with one yourself. Otherwise, hydro >> DFAA.

Neptune is the Izumo of the British CL. You can't stealth radar like Edin and Mino/Edgar, the reload is still meh... but in that birthday replay I was informed that I had my last year's damage record of 300k+ in that tub. Equip exp boosters and race through tier IX. Especially because you now share the matchmaking with supershits.

Edgar tried to push me. Broadside. Why? Can't say, just look at the minimap - what did he expect to happen? molten edgar 20221108_234248_PFSC510-Colbert_45_Zigzag.wowsreplay

Ok, I'll be the arbiter: It's a mix of both things. Neither watching guides nor playing the ship over and over again is going to cut it. Only if you're a rare talent, you can find out what works and what does not only by analyzing your own experience.

The amount of bovine excrement at the seal clubbing tiers is just unbelievable. Give me tier 10 any time over that Also everything is atrociously slow paced and worst of all, every low competence seal clubber and even worse, every player who just managed to unlock that tier thinks ranked is for him now and bronze is even worse than ususal!

Turned that off so long ago - That might explain why I don't get these popups when I alt tab. Now, not being subject to WG coding for the first time in my life, I fully expect the penalty mechanic not working on those who have this function disabled... Although I don't tab out for minutes at a time, that's just deadly in a Colbert.

Can't confirm. I usually just use up all the non ship exp boosters from the top down whenever they're available on the tier 10 ships I usually play. I'm as bad as usual. The ship exp boosters are put on ships in need of leveling - usually it takes a bit of time to get a feel for a certain ship, overextending or getting blapped because, say, the thing unexpectedly doesn't have the Colbert's go cart type handling is not uncommon. Dying early in the match is not helpful for the win rate.

where would you find that?

DD only mission - set on fire or torpedo hits: Cries in Druid

This, very much. This not so much. I trust that his AFKing days are over now that he understands this is being frowned upon - not only by the developers but also by the other players. @Glacis_UK I also alt-tab all the time, to check players with hidden stats, check obscure ship torp ranges or if they have hydro or not and so on. I've yet to see one of these warnings you evidently chose to ignore multiple times. @YabbaCoe If this is the implementation to nudge AFKers into actually playing the game, WG actually... did very well.

I believe the batteries were in the rear or on the bottom of the submarine. If you ram the other submarine just right...

We all agree, pivotal classes - such as CVs with their casual spotting - are just game design. So, unfortunately, the answer is obviously yes untill you manage to reduce the insane influence a CV can have on the outcome of a battle, where having a crap CV will put you on a severe disadvantage. Because they up the enjoyment of 11 other players on his team. No, it's not his fault for enjoing CVs, it's the games designer fault for providing that overly important class. I mean... there is only one CV in a tier X match - why is that? Why can't we have three or more CVs per side? Or maybe even a thee player CV div? I choose to believe you already know the answer. By the way - do you believe there would be many complaints if it were a BB that was sold for cash to potatos? I think people wouldn't even notice the difference to the normal 40% Kurfursts. Also, DDs are also very important - but since you usually have more than one, it's not so noticeable. And if you only have one, you usually find out sooner or later which flank it is on and carry on as usual, because it can't just put down some fighters across the map to casually spot.

If they feel lackluster, play another nation - do not let patriotism motivate you to play ships you loathe. If you get outgunned in a Daring of all the things, git gud. If you get citadelled in a cruiser, learn to position. To improve watch some how to guides, can't recommend yuro enough - he also has some videos on british ships. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAO6C9T2NNWp88vp_KsXVsQ I feel the choice of avatar needs some consideration here. Because it is insulting, you know?

7 days of premium account. It adds up I guess....

That's an awful lot in that short timespan.

Highly underrated comment.
