Process Explorer ( from wininternal ) which shows IO activity, perfmon would allow me to filter and give clearer results but IO monitor works as well. If you're sure it's caching, I might need to free up some more space on my ssd ( got only 12gb free atm, should not affect performance that much on this gen ssd though ).

My Gremy has higher avg dmg on tier 5 then all my USN DD's up to the Benson ( still grinding ). Why? Because 130mm AP kills cruisers like a boss, because 130mm HE ignites battleships like a boss, because 8km torps allow launching without being detected. Now I haven't played much since micro patch and I heard it got some serious nerfs to turning radius/rudder shift time, that might influence it a bit but then again it was never a knife fighting DD due to the slow turret traverse anyway. Keep it at distance and I loved it. The Sims turns better, has the best range of all DD's and best turret traverse. It just has crap torps for open water engagements, and it received nerfs to cammo I heard which would make this gunboat way less effective... I really need to start playing my sheeps more again, most info here is now hear-say

What's wrong with a little BD

Everyone had the friends list issue, just not the ships loosing experience. If I where you and if I had some proof I would make a ticket with support

I got a pretty fast ssd and between patches the behavior shifted to much to be just related to the amount of textures needed to load from it. The problem isn't in the computers IO speed, it's in either the server code handling queue's or in the client code handling queues. Sounds plausible, but my IO monitor does not agree ( there is no change in (in)activity during the queue times ).

The bofors on the Baltimore make her a better escort cruiser I believe then Des Moines ( though again it's been awhile since I played her or checked her stats ).

TB dropping torps so close that a shoe thrown from the deck of the ship could hit the planes leaves ZERO chance for any sort of mitigation, no matter how early you started turning where ever. I thought we had the whole arming distance thing to prevent such behavior. Replay or screenshot? Arming distance didn't change ( or if it did, it certainly would be bad if it where shorter now ).

But I'm not Russian, and neither can I speak Russian so my opinions and ideas are as valuable as chewing gum on the streets for them. Also, I have been in a ST program for WoT, and I don't feel it's any different than now since it's still the same company: "You don't speak Russian? You can play with us, but we won't communicate or send any feedback to the Russian developers. Gtfo" As I understand, WG EU staff is responsible for correlating EU feedback to the dev's, their is no direct line of communication. Which does make one wonder, since I know they post on RU forums and I can't imagine a developer being unable to communicate in English.

And bb's without armor hiding in the back of the map afraid to tank dmg ;)

I think that if you improve enough you will reach a different conclusion on a lot of your stances, and when playing higher tiers ( with better players ) you will also notice them being better at playing their ships and maybe learn from them. I am not that good, I get schooled pretty hard at times for doing stupid things in game. But I'm learning from it ( I hope .. ) and in time I will be better then I am now. Anyway, as said before this isn't a simulator, better loose the real world references as this is a WG tittle and real world doesn't really apply

I'm sorry but BB's are not auto kill for DD or CV, their just not with some exceptions. The current state of CV tech tree makes balanced team's hard, and with air superiority being less fun/rewarding CV's with full assault deck will wreck capital ships ( and that is intended ), it can still be countered but you need teamwork and good captain skills. You played 7 battles in Cleveland, maybe that Iowa was just the worst player on the server or he had really bad lag. You're trying to reach conclusions based on a way to limited set of data. As I said in my first reply:

Didn't reset anything with me, then again already finished ijn BB line ( though my Ibuki just has the same xp as it did before the patch ). You sure you didn't drink to much vodka, it's weekend so I have to ask

Cleveland is broken and will eventually be moved, don't ever use it for gameplay balance discussions. Also stop assuming bigger caliber means auto kill, if that was a working game mechanic everyone would only sail battleships. Not sure if worth replying btw. probably not but I'm bored so giving it a try. addendum: Your best Cleveland score ( out of your 7 battles in it lol ) So you did 55k dmg in a cleveland and that shows it's broken

If that is the part you edited, could you please provide the readable version of the comments?

Why did you only started playing PVP in a battleship after you reached tier 5? And did you consider the problem wasn't with the ship class but the captain?

You need more games, higher tier and all classes played before your opinion is worth the time you spend writing it down. Sorry for maybe sounding to harsh but how in god's name can you comment on the role of a DD if you played 2 battles in one? Or carriers? How is this anything about this game, instead of it being just your perception on how a game like this should be? A lot of things you are asking for is already in the game, you either don't have the skills to pull it off or you haven't gotten the ships to do it in.

Sorry my gifs beat your OP, and I'm not even bound by NDA

Sharana's guide -> http://forum.worldofwarships.eu/index.php?/topic/13878-basics-aa-mechanics/page__view__findpost__p__248801

I don't 'like' the idea at all, however I can certainly live with it Didn't participate in WoWp so didn't know how they did it there. Would be a nice bonus if one kept captain xp but again I can live with just having had some practice with battle sheeps ( and that Murican premium BB I been told we might get ).

You playing on NA btw?

http://www.corsair.com/en/ssd/force-series-gt and I'm still late into battle. It's not an IO issue, as evident by the changes between patches.

would give a +1 if you put that in the same post I responded to ( and I'm out now ;) ).

You are alpha tester and you haven't seen tier X in the alpha or weekend tests? Didn't they have equipment implemented at that stage? Or perks? Really, I am asking I don't know but I assumed you guys all already seen this way before we cbt people got it. Anyway I applaud the taught about the thread and I hope you will stick with it and correlate all the info posted into a new thread and make a good guide for it. And yes you're correct, some ships in different lines benefit more from different equipment but then it also depends a lot on your personal preference. I use accuracy equipment over rof boost as I got a reasonably good hit ratio and I think it benefits me more if I get the best grouping of shots vs higher rof. But with Des Moines if you can buff ROF even more you're only forcing yourself to get a bit closer but you will do more damage in a shorter time. So again, it's highly personal on that one. Just that I prefer high tier cammo equipment over the one which extends my own detection ability, I am sure some players will use the higher detection ranges in their DD's. I would be very interested in what better players then me are using and why, I hope they will post in the thread and let me know ;)

Interesting conversation, so if I 'cut across' you in a battle you think I am going to shoot you and so you will team damage me on purpose? Wow such attitude, much politeness

This isn't really a OP for a sticky now is it? Sharana's guides which are very informative and contain lots of information in their OP's, those are immediate sticky's. This is more like an idea which when worked out should get a sticky Edit: If I where you I would collect info from this thread to create a new one ;) Btw, aren't almost all perks/skills obvious as to which class benefits the most from them?
