  1. No not elite captain XP but free xp which you can use on ship upgrades... I guess Papa Papa+freexp cammo should do this if you're not a baddie.

    Normal penetration damage on DDs

    He basically already told us by example: talk about roles not about classes :) edit: Wait, that looks wrong. I meant, sort the mess about what we are talking about, not the mess WG needs to fix with current state of AP vs DD's ( or 'lightly armored stealth based destroyers'? ). Shouldn't we first classify which DD's fall in what category and then specify which effect we would like to see on each?

    Normal penetration damage on DDs

    My Tashkent grind is going slow... I liked her a lot more on tier 8. Anyway, AP dmg on Khaba is not related to this topic, Khaba is a light cruiser not a destroyer. It doesn't even play like one ( certainly now it only has short range torps I guess ). Then again, maybe it perfectly illustrates the difficulties in talking about balance and mechanics vs classes as opposed as roles just as you pointed out.

  5. You have 4 battles in a Belfast, and a well below average account win rate. This doesn't really disqualify you on commenting on Belfast and gameplay mechanics. but it influences how much value I put on your opinions on both.
  6. Took some back and forth but eventually they did see it from my side. Also marktplaats is ok mostly if you can go pick it up, otherwise it's a big risk without any rating system. It's why I like buying on tweakers for instance, account ratings just work on any marketplace even if it needs a lot of moderation / manual labour. edit: Btw my daughter was so happy with her tail though she spend the entire day wearing it in house... yeah I had a little mermaid crawling over the floor since tails aren't made for walking

    Normal penetration damage on DDs

    Yeah I understand that WG says there is a longer timetable than most of us would like, testing changes in this can and therefore absolutely will have unforeseen consequences and it will need several iterations for sure to get it to a stage where it would even make it into a PT. In effect I think the damage will be slightly less due to some HE being 'absorbed' by modules, but this is offset with module damage. But yes, reward players for thinking ahead and planning, and reward the DD which does the same ( ambush BB now it just deletes you with AP pretty often ).

    WG can you fix cv's on this game?

    It was the top thread when you posted your own, if you really want their attention I don't think you will get the most of by making duplicate threads as those just get deleted ( or if you ask nice, maybe merged :) ).

    Carrier state: Calling out devs

    Safe no, I don't think it should be 100% safe anyway. I seen Shoka's planes get deleted by an AAA specced Izumo out of all ships.. Sure, it had aft+bft+manual AAA but that's why those skills are there right? If you don't want to stick with cruisers close by you need to buff your own AAA capabilities and boy did WG give you those options. If a tier 9 with the 'right' skills can do it, any tier X can ( is there a tier X with worse base AAA values as Izumo? ). edit: though anyway, as a non CV player I still agree with the idea voiced by many that CV's could be given +-1mm. That would also allow much more stable gameplay from CV side and it would make it easier to balance in a way which is fun for everyone.

    Carrier state: Calling out devs

    They should start with making IJN and USN equal to each other ( visible in both being played equally? ) since then it should be easier to balance CV's as a class vs AAA mechanics. Also I don't think they are by definition OP at all. They are OP in some situations, but seriously UP in others. Try being a tier 8 CV in a match with 4 tier X BB's and only tier X and IX CA/CL's, I don't think it's even comparable to being a tier 8 cruiser in a tier X only match since you won't die the moment you're spotted it's just that you will spend 20m being mostly useless for your team ( providing vision is still valuable, but not so exciting I guess, ofc they should/could probably still strike the DD's and help the team a lot in that way.. ). Then again, try being in a tier 8 BB other than an NCal with a Midway/Haku coming to strike you and there is no one around to help your AAA dps. If they nerf them NOW, no one would play them. First get them balanced to each other as a class, then balance the class as a whole against the other classes. That way you don't lose the current CV players en masse which would basically kill them off.

    And since that would be useless considering the 10k games 4x% win rate players, the whole thing would be a waste of resources. I'd rather they spend those resources elsewhere, like in balancing USN and IJN CV's so both are played equally. That would make balancing CV's as a class vs AAA mechanics also a lot easier.

    Normal penetration damage on DDs

    I don't even have a gearing, but my Tashkent is also prone to eating full pen's now and then. And even my Shima when I played it ate the occasional full pen. Also, if I eat six overpen's for 1.xk each it's still bad. I don't think fixing underwater armed AP is going to be enough. The guaranteed 10% overpen damage is enough for a BB to never switch to HE ( which is the point right, to force the use of the 'right' kind of ammo? ). edit: Since WG says it's full pen's, well they do have access to the data so I guess I should trust them... but I'm still sceptical.

    Eurobeat does 'funny moments' you don't learn tactics. Heck a lot of the stuff in his video's is tactically poor but hilarious because he get's away with it.

    No that sarcasm was far from obvious doh. Anyway I got some things I will tell you but not in this thread, Teob deserves better

    Even if posts would be anonymous I would know who just posted this Btdt so what? The trick isn't about the sitting in smoke shooting at stuff, it's getting in the right spot to use the smoke without getting torped to death ( so yeah usually this is behind the DD's... want to whine about how a cruiser should be in front of DD's? ), not sitting still and getting spotter plane sniped and not dying the moment the smoke starts to fade ( though that starts with the right spot again... so yeah perhaps not that much skill ). Let's compare with Mogami -> sit at 15km+ and dodge incoming BB shells while raining down ifhe. Against tier X yeah ok that's rough but EVERY cruiser does bad against two tiers up ( with the exception perhaps of Kutuzov, maybe CharlesM as well?? ). Being 'bad' you can do better than in normal cruisers I guess, but to get the most of a RN CL you need quite a lot of situational awareness more imo than you do in a Hindenburg or a Zao ( to get comparable results ). Or, maybe not even 'more' just 'different'. With the others the on the moment dodging/angling is much more key, in a RN CL it's more about having to plan ahead more. But ok we been over this already I guess we don't agree and that's fine right :)

    Sub leander are stinkers, but it's low tier so you should be finished with the turds within a few dozen games.

    Are you trying to derail the thread again? Dodging / kiting is entirely irrelevant, don't bring it up again.
  21. That news was already posted by S_O on EU yesterday? Except the invite for the stream on the 9th that is.

    400k xp sounds like something WG might ask... bit too steep if you'd ask me but hey I'm just the one wanting freebies instead of being spoiled all the time by WG EU
  23. Ahh well if S_O just said 'line breaking' I assume he is talking about gun handling then ( which should be completely different from the rest of the line ). The turret placement shouldn't be an issue, in fact it is probably a very strong layout depending on the angles the turrets get.

    Now this is what people like reading, both from someone who is appreciative of the help given but also two people from community which reach out and help those who want to. All 3 of you should feel good

    Maybe... there is a mod request in the mods section for the carrousel, maybe once there is a radial menu editor just like for WoT, we can share the configurations here. There is a slight chance even WG will pick up on the most used configurations, dropping things or changing things which community says isn't really working out. The 'I need intelligence' is abused if you look at from the intent of WG, but I don't think it's 'abuse' really because a lot of players seemingly do need 'intelligence' ( and/or cojones ). At the very least though, the usage could confuse those who want to use chat for actual useful communication ( the intent of the radial menu ) instead of just finding it a quick relief valve for their frustration.
