I wish we could adorn those badges with a motto (dependable per ship), for the Kamikaze, it would be " Invisa et Inopinata " (unseen and unexpected). But you're right. I'd like to see those post-death popups being removed altogether.

The local shop also sells Kobayashi by the dozens!

It's not in a single battle IIRC, but over any number of battles.

The WoWS-equivalent of teabagging your enemy has arrived. I find the badges themselves a cool feature, but the big "YOU HAVE BEEN KILLED BY <insert badge>" is preposterous, annoying and redundant. It might have been a cool (and that's stretching it) feature in 2006 while playing on a Pentium III after you've finished your homework and mom & dad let you allow to play Counterstrike or Call of Duty for half an hour before the inevitable bedtime, but that was 2006... Please add a toggle to turn that off. Or allow us to rename our accounts for free to xXx_dank_no_scope_detonation69_xXx, in order to make the immersion in the way-back-machine totally complete.

I know I won't be buying anything with real money. Nor in a bundle.

It's Wednesday afternoon (school's out), it's already pretty bad. Gave up for today, it's a pity wasting those Type59 camo's on the Monarch (the ultimate leech-ship) when the team doesn't know how to play, or what caps are.

All 3 continued to hump the border, and die on the border, without sinking a single enemy ship. EDIT: also the obligatory AFK ship at the right.

Saturday morning, so make sure you have it completed by Friday-evening.

Not impossible!

That's because the Khabarovsk is made from solid steel. There is nothing inside it: no engines, no boilerroom, no crew compartiments,... it's hewn from a solid molding, and kept afloat & propels itself by the sheer anger of the proletariat.

Completed both now. Scharnhorst camo is nice, but I won't use it, because it looks so out of place on all but 3 maps. If it gave some different boni compared to the standard camo, it would've been a different story (Commander/FreeXP multiplier instead of the regular XP for instance).

Not by me though, I only get flags.

That means that Mikasa, Tachibana, Katori, Ishizushi, Mutsu, Kaga Albany, Smith, Texas, Marblehead, Arizona, Saipan, Indianapolis, Enterprise Diana, Aurora, Oleg, Okt. Rev., Murmansk, Krasny Krym, Okhotnik, Makarov Emden, Scharnhorst, Prinz Eugen Campbeltown, Warspite, Gallant Anshan Dunkerque Guilio Cesare are all going to be removed? I doubt as well that it is to keep the ships that are popular and fun to use (Spee? Molotov?).

And with mission designs like "hit 11 British torpedoes", you get stuff like this

Bought 5 medium ones, just "for the sake of it", since those seem to have the highest chance of spawning premium ships 15x Frosty Fir 15x Frosty Fir 15x Frosty Fir 15x Wyvern (credit) 1000D Meh.

I already made a flag tho'...

In WoT you have the "Marks of Excellence", which display your mastery of a vehicle with barrel-markings. Wouldn't it be nice to have such a thing in WoWS as well? But not with barrel markings, but maybe by using flags flown by commanders. For example, for the Germans For the British For the Americans ...

It's a fun ship. It's very forgiving and it prints credits like there is no tomorrow (not Missouri-levels, but still). It has to be my most played BB, and among my most favourite ships ingame.

White, with icicles!

For 2018, I decided only to go for TYL-containers, because I'm reasonably well stuffed on flags anyway. So far I hauled 3 supercontainers, on January 2nd, 3rd and 15th. All while running Premium. 100x India Yankee (-20% Fire duration) 50x Restless Fire camo's 7 Days of Premium

Isn't 1 clemency per account per lifetime (EU) vs 4 clemencies per account per year (NA) not a bit too... extreme of a difference? Regarding portslots: I have... 16 spare ones, and I can't get them filled.

NA has 4 clemencies per year. Also 2 months though, IIRC. EU is the harshest regarding such stuff

There is a repeatable “+50% commander XP” for each win this weekend. I find that more valuable than a once/day XP boost.

Bagged the Gaede and QE (the latter for credits) today. When the free week of premium runs out, and I've completed the NYR, I'm going to take a break. Enjoyment is at an all-time low ATM. The NYR is not grindy, nor does it require you to jump through tremendous hoops, but that Stage 5 has left a mark.
