I had the same question and went for IFHE after a few games without it. On a personal level it "feels" (very bad thing to argue with, I know) like there is no real difference in fire chance, yet you get more juicy regular hits, because it does not really matter when you just HE spam your target. In the few Bayard games I had so far, it was more of said spam and less of single salvos and then disengage. As we are already at it, I got PT, EM, AR, SI and IFHE on my captain. Next skill will be CE, but then I still have 3 points left. What would be a good pick? I am using the special captain. Last Stand and Expert Loader seems like a good choice to me, same as all leftover points into DE. I use the flags aswell, but what is more effective?

How can you play like this without getting an epileptic seizure, there are so many colors, figures and forms flashing.

Did not care about the new DDs, managed to get the T5 and T6 with extra bonus code missions, the rest (270 points) I put into camos.

My best surface ship result so far, it was a T8 game.

Worked, nice.

Thats all nice and such, but first of all the random factor is quite annoying and second I dont think most "customers" will be the ones trying rental ships they later want to buy, rather than unexperienced players getting a Missouri on their first try, grinding out those 24h for credits and the love of their teams.

That would explain the insane amount of Mainz I faced.

I had the same issues with the last patch update and was unable to pin down why exactly it did not work, yet pausing and unpausing the download without closing the Game Center worked for me.

Scharnhorst and Gneisenau.

Okay I give up, maybe somebody in this thread can give me some additional advice. So, normally I ignore the ranked seasons and only play a game or two to check it our, get some easy rewards and then accept that especially for T10, I am not fit to play and feel way uncomfortable doing it. This season I got the Thunderer and tested her out. Having mercy on the poor souls that will be forced to fight alongside me, I decided to wait some time into the event before I start playing, so people that play this mode seriously have their head start in ranks and dont end up with me. It went okay first, but from there it only went downhill, hitting a brick wall. I tried to force it for a while, read some guides, checked some values and I finally reached the point where I cant explain to myself, how/why I am losing that bad. Obviously there is the typical encounter of AFK-people or other players dying in less than two minutes, without getting dev-striked. But first things first: - Yes, I am fully aware, that I am playing outside of my class and tier. - Yes, I am fully aware, that I lack the experience and knowledge as a new player. The question I have is, what am I doing wrong? Is it just said lacking experience and being out of place? Am I shooting the wrong targets, causing useless damage or killing non-important enemies? Why do I reach somehow acceptable statistic values, if it is for the lacking experience, but still lose so bad? I know this does not guarantee success, but I seriously dont understand what I am doing wrong or where I could improve to stop this from going worse, the game is not telling me. If needed I can provide some additional replays, any help is appreciated. Thanks

Update: +30 Tokens and 2 camos from the bonuscode mission container. Still useless RNG trash.

400 Coal 110 Tokens 7 Camos Useless RNG trash.

Does this include testing ships for CCs and such?

And where would a lonely new player be able to learn said tatctics and strategies to not go full potato in randoms, having some fun and create general enjoyment for all participants? I am kind of in the same situation and can fully understand what is happening to newer players or the general playerbase, without much high tier or game experience. Just try to have a look from the perspective of the players you criticize and the options they are provided. The first few tiers are skipped in a handful of battles and the first "real" games with class splits and class interaction may be protected by a forgiving MM, but the kind of games and setups you get there is just ridiculous. You are constantly facing off against multiple CVs, well experienced players in division with ships like the Kamikaze, Nikolai I or Cesare (including 19p captains), while the rest of the teams are filled with people like said beginners, that generally struggle to land reliable hits, lack any meaning of game awareness, map/ship knowledge or sometimes even will to improve. It is not just about being bad, it is about not being provided with an adequate learning experience, or in this case - any learning experience at all. Sure, you could just spend a few hundred or potentially even a few thousand games in T3 or T4, but this is probably not the case with most beginners, even the motivated ones will lose said motiviation at some point during this relentless uphill grind for game knowledge and experience because it is unrewarding in terms of daily missions, events and specials, the amount of premium ships is rather limited and mostly made of the same ships for different nations with only slight changes and most importantly, it is not fun or enjoyable to learn the game or even just to play. Lots of new players encounter this abysmal entry to the game and either quit, try to avoid these tiers or just go full potato and never develop any interest in improving, continuing this habit until they get their Collectors Club medal and reset the research tree for the fifth time. The provided options to avoid those troubles lead to the investment of real money, putting newbies into premium ships of tiers they dont belong to and them generally ruining the experience for every player they encounter, including themselves, creating games and situations that are more than frustrating for players with at least some basic ambitions. Influenced by the statistics those players generate, WG adapts new ships, balancing and changes to game mods or mechanics, closing the circle of new and/or bad players, dumbed down mechanics and missing strategic aspects. Like mentioned before, I am personally in the exact same situation and stopped playing regular surface ships on my other account, because it is just too frustrating to learn. Not the general difficulty or complexity of the game, it is just an unrewarding, frustrating experience that makes you question your motivation and engagement every game, investing your precious time of existence, trying to get some scraps of improvement. For the moment I am playing CVs and at least have some fun and okay results, while stocking up on XP and ships. When I feel comfortable to, by WG adding some changes for new players, gitting gud at shooting by training in OPs and maybe even find a clan that is willing to train me, I will gladly start and hopefully enjoy playing regular ships.

Code does not work for me.

I always picked the the resource option so far, but I got an Arizona, De Grasse and Atlanta.

Comparable question, I will have enough coal for either JB or Smolensk. I wont play any of them in the near future outside of Co-Op games. Which one would be the better pick?

I am confused too. Event page in port says, the duration is until March 12th. The websites says, directives can be completed until March 8th. Website claims, daily missions on London, etc. can be completed during the whole update. It is March 8th and apparently I can still do all of it. ?

MUST KEEP UP DPM Interestingly I have never encountered autopilot problems so far, you cant do backward curves or longer distances, but small steps basically bring the same result and you get assisted by audio messages. The only thing that causes some problems are islands, staying too close to them and setting a new course often results in drawing a strange phallic figures on the minimap.

"okay"

I dont play high tiers often anymore, but do T9 games really get clogged up 50% by premium ships?

As already mentioned, he is rather useful on RN CVs. Also it is probably easier/cheaper to get him now during the event, than later via the armory.

As I was pretty inactive this event, only 626 tokens in with the 4th directive soon to be done. If I calculated it correctly, I wont be able to get Cunnhingham without spending doubloons or money. Meh.

Played like two games, realized I was not fit to play high tier ships and went back to clap people in randoms on T6.

Nothing out of the ordinary here, random business as usual.
