    Who Complimented Me . . .

    I wouldn't worry about the Karma system. I tend to ignore it. It got nerfed hard about a month after WoWs released. Everyone kept reporting CV's and they kept getting automatic bans lol, the old system used to issue bans and sanctions after so many reports, was funny as hell. Hence I wouldn't bother/worry about it.
  2. No they just died very fast, except the montana, which tbh didnt exactly do much damage wise as you can tell.

    Premium ship return

    Unless you're a collector I wouldn't worry too much. The Cesare maybe worth it, but the other two are not. AB - I haven't used this for a VERY long time, if you want to know what it's like, get a stock Wyoming and turn your AA off, its practically the same, except the Wyoming is more accurate. Just. And yes the extra upgrades help but not in a particularly OP way, not worth 30k Steel, maybe Coal? but it was a reward ship, I got her along with the Gremy, I much prefer the Gremy, though to be fair, Gremy is a bit OP when you know how to use it. IN - Eh, not worth it really. again Coal at most, its more of a meme ship with its accurate guns dev striking, IN vs someone sailing something and knowing how to angle = dead IN. GC - I do admit I like this ship, but like all of them, if its uptiered to T7 you will have a miserable game mostly. Only really fun when you're top tier.

    [POLL] How do you like new Asymmetric Battles ?

    I was remarking that my Ibuki is a being priorised over the German BB with torpedoes charging at them (schlieffen).

    [POLL] How do you like new Asymmetric Battles ?

    Fine if youre in a German BB. Horrendous if you're playing a cruiser. all the bots go "Mine mine mine" and you've got 8+ bots shooting at you from the far side of the map because you're a priority target 20+km away over the German Torpedo-wielding BB barrelling towards them. Even worse if you're a cruiser with even 10hp lost, you're priority target #1 regardless.

    Ranked Destroyer Advice

    Typically when it is Tier 10, I've usually used Kleber or Marceau. Kleber is good at bullying cruisers with AP, Torp rushing BB's and making DD's sweat. Marceau to a lesser extent. Smaland, if you have it is a bit of a demon. Short Version, open water gunboats. Kleber, Marceau and Smaland don't care if they are spotted, you're going to have trouble hitting them. In the age of Radar proliferation and long range Hydro, your best option is a ship that doesn't care if its spotted, meep meep around the map and spam HE/AP at targets while they try to hit you. usually works for me.

    Why the CV and submarine hate?

    Oh and treat it as a team orientated ship. I tend to use it also as area denial. You got a big fat BB nose tanking your team mates, hurl a load of torps towards it, ping it loads, make it panic. It'll blow its DCP, start turning to avoid torps and offer its sweet juicy broadside to my team mates to slap. stuff like that, you'd be surprised at how easy it is to make pushing BB's and bow tankers turn away and run if they are getting targeted by a sub. When the team wins, I win, and by helping my team and opening opportunities up for them to take advantage of, benefits me. Sitting between my team and enemy DD's helps me screen and support. it's dangerous and you have to be slippery, but thats the game

    Why the CV and submarine hate?

    71% is winrate, the Blue number is my performance rating overall with Subs, higher the number the better. Blue means unicum, purple means super unicum, Green average/good, yellow and red are below/poor. I play them like a DD, sorta. Lots of spotting, cap,, opportunistic torpedo attacks, and a big emphasis on counter sub warfare (hunting enemy subs). I tend to go wide at the start and start spotting and just go from there tbh.

    Why the CV and submarine hate?

    I'm your average Joe player, 52% ish, nothing spectacular but know how to play, more or less, plus i'm a filthy casual. If I can achieve this with subs Imagine what a truly skilled player can do with them, and I wasn't even trying. Just grinded the RN subs (lots of blue boosters) and I was routinely at the top or top 3. I didn't put much effort into it either. God help us if Superunicums play them as mains, were stuffed. As for CV's, thats been done to death. Plus I'm a terrible CV player, mostly from lack of interest in them.
  11. Eh, Cruisers are just XP pinata's still, you do get the odd good player in one who will farm your [edited]all day, but those are rare. DD is generally more survivable, depending on the DD. Powercreep and all. I tend to play Benham for lols and torp soup fun bullying T7 and T8. However at T10 i tend to play Halland for the most part, long range torps and respectable guns for 1v1 with other DD, it's AA has been nerfed a bit by powercreep but the CV's generally leave you alone unless they have no other choice, assuming its a standard run of the mill potato who can't dodge flak, The 50%+ CV's are the ones that ruin my day more than anything. Other DD's are too vulnerable barring a few, Like Kleber who doesn't care if hes spotted because you cant hit him anyway like other run and gun DD's. Subs haven't really taken over yet, mostly because the people that play them are incapable of breathing and thinking at the same time, barring the odd experienced underwater terrorist. Overall, DD's are more survivable, but only if you got your head on a swivel and good map/situation awareness, Cruisers are just too vulnerable thesedays, have been for quite a few patches now.

    First battle in Asymmetric battles

    Played multiple ships, then took out Schlieffen, and well. I owned all the bots. Play asymmetric in a Schlief. Maybe a Benham for torp spam, but these bots are even better at torpedo dodging than ever. I never saw until today, a Northcal dodge 16 perfectly aimed torpedoes from 7km before. and then do it again.

    Where can I learn the voices of the captains?

    You think that's bad? try having Jingles, not only does he not shut up, but routinely gets thing wrong. like normal actually.

    French light cruiser line proposal.

    Certainly a good idea, probably something like a logical continuation of the La Galissoniere, Bayard and De Grasse class light cruisers, the problem is they play much like the heavy cruisers, long range HE slingers. So comes down to, what is their niche?

    Ashitaka???

    It's not a bad ship per se, but it is all about the guns, she can overmatch any tier 7 and below. So in ranked I used to use it here and there but for those good guns she has a few downsides. Detection range is huge. No Armour. Armour is covered in Matchsticks and Petrol, and she is made out of citadels. You really have to play a backline in her, you cannot tank and trade otherwise you will just get spanked. That said when the guns hit something, it hits like a truck. Think of it as a lower armoured and more vulnerable Amagi that can be seen from low earth orbit and play it accordingly. with a good team supporting you, it can devastate when top tier. Bottom tier its just an XP pinata.
  22. *Remembers the Makarov incident. Wouldn't be the first time.
