    A question about Royal Navy battleships…

    HE spamming simulator

    This is wrong on so many levels... ok, let's take my replay, when I was shooting AP at that broadside Colbert - hosed down at where I expected him to be, I need to do this every 2pointsomething if I want to continue hitting an accelerating target. Not that I put the shells correctly, should have expected him to turn out. A BB player aims once, shoots, and has ample time to go for the fridge and get something to drink and return before the reload has finished. They also could take a look at the minimap, even, in that timeframe while lazily WASD hack juke some shells. So, let's recapitulate: I need to up my game to stay alive while having a harder time actually hitting stuff at the same time. Now the near invulnerable BB with his guns that can blap me in a single crappily aimed salvo complains about fires while at the same time not even skilling fire prevention? Damn, the uploads still don't work... here, click me for the appropriate reaction gif. PS: In the replay I can easily see the aiming, maybe you should not go to freelook. Yes, it's a bit hectic, no, it's not a bug.

    Just watch the replay I posted to get an idea what Colbert is and what it does. The first few minutes anyway. Yes, it is in stark contrast to glacial BB gameplay. Try it open water! The other day I posted Colbert replay tanking 4m potential damage. But that means every salvo dodged, only eating a stray overpen and not a devstrike with is possible just as easily. And you have the audacity to try and take HE and fires away when you don't even skill fire protection? I don't usually aim with colbert when open water - I just ocassionally check if my aim is still ok'ish while continuing to throw stuff in the enemies direction, because I'm occupied with not being deleted in the first place. And now the BB is whining that he is actually taking damage? This is not deer hunter, you know... I'm here to kick your , not to have mine kicked even though I drive a floating citadel someone glued wet toilet paper on as armor. There must be a reason this thing has skill based survivability instead of armor. Yeah, in reality no BB would care about the he spam much, but this is the great equlizer for the arcade gameplay. We even have supercavitating submarines, deal with it.

    I see you and I raise you a 6 minute game where I accidentally got deleted by a... very not good player. Just like that. Just because I potat for one second and didn't see the early that is easily visible in the replay when you look for it. I mean you stand broadside to a yamato at 18km and he.. bounces? 20221027_001408_PFSC510-Colbert_37_Ridge.wowsreplay And I have had shorter games. How am I supposed to play?! So get of your high horse. Also fire protection is a thing, especially if you play an almost stationary landing strip for HE munitions. And you've been focussed as you were the only target by more than just that he spammer division... If you were talking about secondaries, I'd even agree, but you don't, so you are wrong. How about you Colbert a bit? I'd love to see you try.

    You can citadel a Smolensk with thunderer HE. Great hilarity ensues.
  6. That happens in randoms as well, any day of the week, any time of the day. On a more serious side note, there is an addon, it tells you torp range and such things when you aim at the enemy ship. If you're interested, I can go look for the name.

    A Case against the Puerto Rico

    Price is zero, as I got the dubs from ranked and/or containers after finishing the missions. As I don't spend much on the game apart from premium at christmass, it's not real money to me. The grind worked more or less automatically, didn't even check most of the time. (Apart from the appalling lack of kraken in the last part, so I had to play BB which was ok since I just got Vermont to toy with) And it is a tier 10 - not the new trash tier 9, which also suffers from supershits at about the same price for dubs (or in case of that greece whaler DD at half the price), so you will hardly get more value for dubs than this. Just consider the price of a Tiger '59 (although I'm having a blast with it) It is not overperforming, true, and also might not be competetive - but is a Colbert? Or a Druid? Arguably the most fun ships I've played in a long while. No, I'm not having that kind of fun with the Paytorico, but I have to admit it's quite relaxing not being afraid that any salvo can delete you if you don't wiggle your butt like the aforementioned Colbert - not mine, but you get the idea: https://youtu.be/vvPbugb8ANw?t=640 And as "fun" is arguably an individual experience, I can believe this thing just clicks with some. The last point... yeah. Can't be said much against it, you're right. But I felt it was rather cheap. Now let's wait half a year and then you bring a rather obscure ship and hopefully you don't get reported every game anymore.

    What happened to CV plane spotting rework?

    It's not confusing for the players, it's confusing for the management...

    What happened to CV plane spotting rework?

    About time for the nerfbat. The first round in a long row of rounds...

    What happened to CV plane spotting rework?

    Not true. Just wait for premium spotting pass, just 10€/month if you want CV spotting information relayed. You heard it here first.

    Suggestions thread

    Please make the tender shown in port have the same camo as your selected ship. Or give it a camo according to the nation of the selected ship, say, a dazzle camo for the british. In case of, say, the kobayashi stuff, just give it a default camo.

    WG's latest PR disaster

    Wait what? There is even a certified sealclubber on that list - 43% at tier 10. I remember putting the name on my repurposed ignore list for atrocious... let's politely call it "play".

    The Malta Fear

    I have to admit - after a few days - that I've run into more terrible wallet warriors playing Malta than what's good for my mental hygiene.

    I had a rather unfortunate spree lately, this one is at least tolerable. Lots of cheesing the game mechanics, casually deleting DDs and a glorious missplay because I tried to dodge the CV instead of sucking it up. ffff cv 20221024_170442_PFSC510-Colbert_14_Atlantic.wowsreplay @Seraphice We talked about "meaningful damage" and "casual spotting" Please take a look at this. But yeah, spreadsheet says the average damage is ok, so everyone is having fun.

    Petition to add a "Scuttle" Button

    You would plague the world with the same guy doing this about 7 times in the same timeframe? Only shared misery is true misery? And all this while he feels this is his divine right? Seriously? We're not even talking about griefers here, just the casual . "Oh, CV game, bye". "Oh, too many radars, nah, not fun, bye". "Too many DDs, bye". "Too many BBs... bye". "Potato alert actually playing an alarm sound? Bye!" Also, no matter the amount of confetti, torturing a CV to death (or blapping them with a Vermont, telling him he has incomming while the shells lazily bimble through the air) are lifes simple pleasures. Do not take that away from me! Scuttle only if you get a week long relegation to Coop with the press of that button. Or maybe only a ban, that's more humane. And even then, the griefers will still use this. He takes a CV into the match - whoopsie, you've lost. Again, this is obvious. No. Go away and take that brilliant idea to the trash on the way out.

    Petition to add a "Scuttle" Button

    Sorry, killing CVs is therapeutic. If they can simply take the cowards way out, they cheat me my well deserved righteous revenge. Also we already have whining asshats who sail the J line with a DD "because the enemy has radar ships" while being a female dog about it how unfair it is. If you give these people this option, they feel vindicated to use it every time they feel their team won't carry their lazy stern. This is obvious to anyone whose IQ score gets worse when you halve the value, so I accuse you of trolling.

    The WoWs Karma Memorial

    The implications are irritating - did the karma hold you back? And from... doing what exactly? And do I want to know? You wouldn't happen to play submarine, supershit, CV or supershit CV for quadruple the reports? Or did you play russian ships? Or coop where you didn't let your teammates farm all the damage? Did you win brawls? Did you lose brawls? Did you kill someone in ranked? Did you die in ranked?

    Mecklenburg, Shikishima, Ohio or Slava

    Lol, nope. Yami shoots, enemy does a gamer turn. Yami can't use the opportunity because of reload. Edit: I've played about 1000 games in it, it suits me way better than the yamato/musashi ever did. Also, gun sound. And my name checks out.

    Shiki has the legendary module built in. Just like Thunderer has the legendary rudder shift mod of the Conq built in. Salem doesn't have the leg mod. Shiki reload makes the difference btw.

    I feel you. You invested in a new toy and it simply won't work. Some ships just click, some just don't.

    Shiki is completely powercrept by Satsuma Slava is a gunnery trainer and can be harmless fun in randoms Mecklenburger I don't have, I'd say it's hindenburg that went pumping Ohio, same, its a reportedly very good short range Monty. Of the four, today I'd probably go for Mecklenburger
