Depends on the distance... And of course on the target. Druid (which isn't fair because of biased AP) does indeed citadel a lot of cruisers, Desmo at 6km, Mino at 10km, Stalin pointblank. Petro.. not so much, but the turrets turn so slow, you can drive around in circles and shoot nose/stern for 3k a pop. You find out about these things when you're lacking torps and have no other choice of shooting your AP only guns.

But then it's only killing bots and 2500 exp feels adequate. How long are normal random matches again? And what do you get there? Well, that at least would reduce the toxicity. The very second anything becomes a challenge, temper flares. Remember kids, you're only part of the team when you are winning. So, what does happen? I guess you get in trouble? I've never played it, if it's not in a description anywhere, I literally can't know it as I can't be arsed into reading guides for a f-ing coop game. If the player is supposed to know where the next enemy enters the match, make the quadrant on the minimap blink for 30 seconds or a minute before. If it doesn't, it's just bad game design, because you [edited]up the match for all the others when you lack the knowledge they have. Ah well, if the more experienced players just had a way to communicate....

Yes! Please WG, make this a permanent game mode. And remove CVs from games for decent people.

Two ammo types that can be healed the most is certainly a nerf. And you're incapable of killing a broadside mino. Just look at Austin.

I see you and I raise you the rearward launcher of the Druid. Even early pictures of the community tests show the model with the launcher aimed forward... so sad. That and the long duration hydro would make a "comfortable" DD hunting experience.

Colbert - Peace through superior firepower. That thing is just so much fun.

I can't even be arsed to purchase a tier 8 CV. Because it's more expensive than the 500k for the first victory. It's just like russian roulette with a pistol - It's a lose-lose situation, the only way to win that game is not playing it.

colbert in ranked works for me: Lots of mistakes in the first match. Real nailbiter. Should have increased the distance after i capped mid.... 20220909_201453_PFSC510-Colbert_17_NA_fault_line.wowsreplay Player skill wise probably the hardest carry of the evening: 20220909_212447_PFSC510-Colbert_40_Okinawa.wowsreplay By far the funniest - but citadelling a stalin is... easier in a Druid. 20220909_215556_PFSC510-Colbert_19_OC_prey.wowsreplay

I couldn't even say. It's a pavlov's dog reflex. See code! Enter code! Sometimes there are some gems hidden, I think I have a flag of the unbeaten Czechoslovakian riverine marine or something from one of these....

Yeah, now that you say it, OP is probably better off learning to play sub. Either get cancer or be cancer.

Not that I care about Coop or Operations or anything like that - and I usually aim as if the enemy DD would move in a straight line and that is what apparently happens in the background, so the up and down due to waves is just eye candy. The trouble is just the first salvo and finding that correct line. Aren't these mods making the game easier? Shouldn't they be forbidden, at least in a PvP setting? Also: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SMp3ALALqE&t=57s

To play the devil's advocate - just how dumbed down does the game have to be so you enjoy it? And if operations are now too complicated, how about Coop? You can (and some do) literally roll your face on the keyboard and still win. I am sure you have some other qualifications, something you're good at. Gaming is just like this - you just need to aquire the requisite skills. Being overwhelmed is only bad if you can't adapt. Play BB if everything is too hectic for your taste. Especially with the slow reloading ones you have ample time to watch the minimap and predict outcomes.

a) Who cares? b) As Lesta designed the ships and I assume, continues to design the new ships, it's aptly placed. Not that I'm a big fan of that port, black hole is much better, because they then don't cryptomine on your graphics card. And if you care - there are a lot of picture of exceptional planes, they just sport a swastika. Do you throw these away in a fit of rage? Or do you simply accept the fact, take it into consideration where applicable and continue to look at them? I mean, that is one of the major symbols of barbarism, Lesta is just some software developer. They don't even have programmer slaves held at gunpoint in their cellar.... ...

What's not to like about a discount queen? I propose they just remodel all the flags for all the ships so they can be put at half mast with an option.

How about a special discount for Queen Elizabeth?

Yeah, swimming icebergs where a sub can actually dive under. I mean.. planes can go over, right? And radar goes through?

Now that I think about it, anyone remember WoW? Where PvP gave you gear better suited to PvP and PvE stuff helped with PvE content? How about WG adds a resource and ships obtainable for that resource only which in turn excel at operations? Mainz comes to mind... Obtaining ships is a strong motivator, especially if it's something unique. And if you are really, really mean, offer one tier 10 ship that makes everyone suddenly not only try it out but they will grind the edited out of operatons day and night. Maybe some stay? And the rest can't rightfully complain, because they at least received a new port queen. And since it leads to different rewards, it's no longer overcompensation compared to pvp modes. Maybe even add resource containers and put a few of the PvE ships into the shops. I believe everyone would profit from this. I mean, there were complaints from coop mains that they have to play ranked to obtain steel for interesting ships.

Overcompensating for wasted time does not equal fun, although I admit, it probably made them more popular.

I will quote myself: Fortunately I care so little about operations. I really don't care about nerfing the rewards, I assume they were just too good. Yes, there is always someone entitled crying, tough luck. What I consider to be unsportsmanlike is the "miscommunication". Why can't they say "ok, guys, listen up, it's just too easy to farm operation - get [edited]" right away. Yes, there would be crying, too. But when they can implement subs against all the outrage and middle finger salutes, they can endure that. In comparison that's just background noise. But it's obviously a miscommunication, because there is no hiding that fact. https://forum.worldofwarships.com/topic/259184-psa-update-on-operations-rewards/ Apparently they don't even keep their community "managers" in the loop or that kind of trainwreck wouldn't happen. It's not miscommunication between them and us, it's even worse - they can't even talk to each other!

So, I tried it out, in the Venezia with Sansontetti. Not a good match, but shell switching is VERY comfortable, almost as much as a sub that doesn't get accidentally spotted by other subs. Yes, it is a buff, but mostly it did away with the annoyance of how the skill worked earlier.

Uh, both picked the wrong ship? Or both got unlucky with the team setup? It could have easily been you with the vamp and he with the stalin. When in doubt, bring the gimmick you want yourself. Unfortunately you always have to rely on your team. If it weren't so some of us would archive near 100% win rates.

A buff to BBs to switch shell types easier comes at a cost to someone else, mainly those on the receiving end of the switched shell type. I am aware that the WG balans department doesn't think in these categories, with that ongoing desaster with CVs and submarines and of course supershits. And supershit CVs. I mean.. you even said it yourself: I agree that the effect is probably not very strong, but I really believe that BBs least of all classes (save for the above - so less than DDs or Cruisers) need a buff. Just look at the waiting queues.

I consider playing ships or tech tree lines that aren't fun to me, just for the sake of leveling them, a much greater waste than accumulating ship exp on a ship that I like.
