    Friedrich der Große and secondary build!?

    Consider dropping manual targeting for IFHE, sure you won't get to pick your target but then you also get into situation (often on purpose) where you can get both sides firing on different targets
  2. As per the title, there are a bunch of gaps in the premium market where no training ship exists, we'd quite like them, if you make them we will come. I started this train of thought with my RN CL line and how much I like my Fiji <3 and not wanting to move the 19 ptcaptain on to Edinburgh and beyond, and as the Belfast is no longer available there is no viable trainer; so rather than make a one shot one tree post I thought I'd have a poke through them all and highlight what we may be missing. Feel free to suggest specific historically important ships, I'm not a history buff although I do enjoy learning more and more as I go. Japan has a wealth of Premiums of all types at first glance but when you remove the fujin triplets and the tachibana twins (T2 is not a great way to spend your time grinding XP), you are left with the Shinonome (a worthy grind but not a kerching insta gratification option) and the Asashio which requires a different set of captain skills to either ot the DD trees. 6/10 USA, again a plethora of Premiums and frankly there's something for everything here. 9/10 (things can always be better right?) USSR lacks little maybe a BB beyonf t5 but as the upcoming BB line is yet to be announced I guess it'll be in the pipes. 5/10 Germany, wow this tree is sparse considering it's naval history in the early 20th century, there is however viable trainers above T4 for all but CV and as you might have noticed I'm ignoring CV because it's due a rework and frankly only CV players care. 7/10 needs variety UK, aware that we've got sDD's coming but seriously guys, this was the primary navy for the inter war period, we had patience waiting for the RN to come to game (building server pop and danging the carrot, it's what WG d best) where the [edited]are our cruisers? you took Belfast away and with good reason but wtf, get your game on, we want a CL trainer (the CA line that will come better blow my bloody socks off!) give us a t8 BB too while you're there, all T6/7 is kinda limited! 4/10 up your game and take my money! France Hard to critique this line as it's yet to be fleshed out and the whole France was occupied thing makes a bit of a mockery of it's naval capacity but at least it has viable trainer ships for the lines released although something at T7 would be nice, maybe another CA/CL Pan Asia yeah whatevs, look forward to more. Italy All trainers, well done WG 11/10 Commonwealth see above but no BB's 5.5/10 5/10 Cest le vie
  3. Loads of great boat suggestions, but the post was more specifically about the holes in the tech tree for premiums as trainers, maybe tie your suggestions to the list above?

    0.7.8 Balance changes: Black Swan. Dear WG, please no.

    weeding out the sealcubbing edits was not a good thing?

    0.7.8 Balance changes: Black Swan. Dear WG, please no.

    I played it twice, once when starting the tree and lost but progressed to t2, then I went on a project play all your shitty winrate ships to 50%, got 6 kills and felt so dirty i bathed for a fortnight.
  6. tldr, to make some chedda WG need to release 1x IJN DD torpedo 1x IJN DD gunnery 1x USSR BB 1each KM ships 1x RN CL 1xRN BB T8 1x FRA CA/CL T7

    Campbeltown

    In A game so no time to look it up, but there's currency to collect, can be spent on Gallant, Warpite or for discount on Cossack. skim read less ;)

    HEPL!!! Ernst Gaede, playing tips anyone?

    conveniently forgetting that you can buff the 128's with BFT by 10%

    HEPL!!! Ernst Gaede, playing tips anyone?

    If you go 128 consider BFT instead of SI or SE it's a straight 10% DPM buff

    [IJN 100mm guns] IFHE firechance not adequate anymore

    it takes both above the threshold to pen 25mm, so it's perfectly valid.
  15. weekend are no different to midweek, it's just a meme people have conned themselves into.

    DD problem

    DD master race. Deal with it.

    Legendary idea for legendary modules

    Even WG understand there is value in having player have to work for things, it's all the small acheivments and short term goals that make people log in. They make more indirectly this way than they ever would selling them. The psychology is where the money is.

    loyang in tier x battles

    Loyang is the most capable t8 DD for being uptiered, I don't mind at all getting in a t10 game, great concealment, long lasting mid range hydro, reasonable guns that with ifhe do reasonable damage to cruisers and BB superstructure. You have to pick your fights but then you always have had to in dd's. 9.2k torps, yup they work too.

    Cross server prime time for clan battles

    The current hours suck if you live in the UK, Ireland or Portugal, local start time is 16:00, many don't get home until 18:00+

    What is the stupidest thing you did today?

    Went for a game in my Perth, floated into the middle of the map, speed to 1/4, enemies being spotted, fired up my mobile stealth cloud and put-put-putted my way across the map. Only I wasn't in my Perth, I was in my Edinburgh, so 12 seconds later I sailed straight out of my smoke and got hit by about 30 gazillion shells.

    419mm and 457mm

    IFHE 457s, that is all.
  22. Open a new tab, load a copy of Rage Against the Machine - Killing in the name, turn up the volum and enjoy singing along to '[edited]you I won't do what you tellme' and just ignore the [edited].
  23. Just exited the game to do something productive and am met with a file conversion dialogue, no prior warning, no estimate of time.. You attempted to tie up all my PC's resources without telling me and cost me real time productivity, I sat around killing processes until I could get back to using my PC for the things that earn me a living. Totally unacceptable, sort your crap out, my PC is not your playground, this crap needs an opt in. [edited]fuming!

    +2/-2 or +1/-1 mm

    Only if you think it's a problem ;) I see it as an opportunity.
