You keep missing the point. If you were paying more attention to your surroundings and the objectives then in 99.99% of cases you would never go near the edge anyway. In the very few edge cases (lol) where it might be the correct place to be you should be plenty aware that it is there in the first place. The fact that you run into the map 'every day' tells us that your situational awareness is atrocious. And if after this you really need an explanation for the lack of warning, it is because it is unnecessary - most people don't have the issue you keep facing. The. Problem. Is. You.

I struggle to take anyone seriously who advocates emergency takeoff.

You should spend as much time looking at the mini map as you do at the rest of the screen. If you did then this wouldn't happen. Then if you add on skills such as PTFO and learn that there is more than one direction that you can angle whilst kiting or pushing at enemies (all it takes is a few seconds of spinning the turrets to the other side of the ship) and you can start to be a much better player

Get 5 stars and the rewards are very nice.

Seems it has encouraged people to sit broadside more often which obviously still results in citadels. Just this morning I put 3 citadels into an Iowa who sat sideways on to me and ruined his game.

You don't need to spend credits because you can a) wait or b) play a different ship. Also, 10% win chance is BS. It is relatively easy to win and you can even do some serious carrying with the right ship if your team starts collapsing.

53 ships in my port (ignoring the ARP ships I hide from view). This actually includes ships I have never played such as the Albany but most have and do still see action. I have a fairly liberal (and inconsistent) policy to keeping ships that includes me having to enjoy the ship, have some idea that I might end up playing that ship again, having a captain for it (or the will to grind one). I have ships for every tier and often for multiple classes at every tier which gives me choice when divisioning. I also have some that are kept for ranked play and as of this patch extra tier 6 ships for operations. They also help give me reliability when completing missions My fleet consists of 18 premium ships (8 of them reward ships) 7 tier 10s 10 ships I am in the process of grinding through in some way or another. As I say, many see infrequent use... but they do get use

Depends on the BB/CA cruiser within range (not sure what within range is for a class with unlimited range). The cruiser on its own could legitimately be the better target for the CV than 2 ships together that could easily have far greater AA defence.. Also many players can't read a minimap and various other visual cues within the game to see how a game is going.

At that price it starts to make the top bundle for the Hood seem like great value!

Oh, my bad. I can't be bothered reading them too closely most of the time. Well, I might continue to play 1 game per day in my Cleveland on them anyway just to knock the captain over onto 18 points allowing me CE/IFHE/AFT.

I don't think we did well enough:o

Yep, and that wiped me out of every bit of free XP I had. I have since then thrown so much away on other ships and still I'm rolling in it. Think I have about 80 of the +777% free XP flags but I'm only using them on a couple of ships. Give me a few weeks and I'll be at half a mil

Luckily, due to the fancy new free XP flags etc I am currently sat on 250k free XP, and I think it has gone up 50k in less than a week. Oh, and I spent some. Should be able to save up plenty before another ship arrives

I did it again this morning and it gave me another day of premium. If I can play it once per day and get premium for a day then I'll do it every day Turns out I got my premium day for something else. Ignore me

The Hood has gimmicky AA that cannot save you from eating torps - it is useful for making CV players not take any planes home but a skilled players can easy drop lots of torps on you. What the Hood really has is great speed and tankiness and guns that can fairly reliably dish out 10-20k volleys on BBs by aiming above the belt - it allows you be where you need to be and live to fight on. It isn't spectacular, but it is strong.

Ah yea, I remember the game. Our team was pretty hopeless - and I think you took out my div mate. When I was pushing towards the smoke I kept expecting torps to come at me, and it kept not happening and I could see you shooting out of the smoke so I was praying to the gods that you wouldn't notice - I was on pretty low health and no remaining heals!

I see your how to scharnhorst and raise you a how to hood

I have both and I'm British so could easily go with national bias, but I have to say the Shiney Horse as she is more fun. However, I will also say there is not a wrong choice as such - both ships are entirely capable.

Except, with many CVs it is very possible to run out of planes and all this does is speed up the process. Sure, your 85 plane Kaga is probably going to escape pretty easily, but other CVs will struggle more.

...says the CV expert. Sure, it won't impact your game very much, but it will impact people who actually play the class!

Hi mate. I noticed you quite late on. Yea, I was surprised that I was allowed to sit there raining fire on your team for so long - your team had plenty of battleships who could get a firing angle on me, and ships in general to have made a push. I only noticed you when you tried encourage your team to flank around the far left, which eventually they did but by then it was too late. I hadn't sat in a position that allowed me to extricate myself (partly due to where your BBs sat and partly due to having too much to shoot at!). When I died my fiance happened to walk into the man cave and she goes 'oh dear, that doesn't look good'. I pointed out that whilst the burning wreck of my ship was not ideal, it had actually gone pretty well, and then the game ended so I could show her my position at the head of our team on the scoreboard

Tier 6 was a sorry tier to play before the duca was released and you probably knew that.

Reading this makes me die a little bit inside.

Quite a few options here. I am unlikely to re-buy a CV. BB... all relatively good. I do love the Fuso, and certainly do not use her at range and given she won't face high tiers she is a deletion shotgun - a bit on the slow side and weak AA can be problematic though so will have to see what the CV population looks like. Also have the Warspite and those guns are nice... AA a bit rubbish but she turns on a dime. Could re-buy the Bayern as I have a 'spare' KM BB captain sat around. CA - Cleveland with IFHE? I could be tempted! But, it isn't going to be the same as the Belfast which has the nice smoke cloud to sit in and radar to see out. Since I have Seagull sat in my Missouri and perhaps want him to take over duties in the Des Moines, this would free up my USN CA captain (currently in the Baltimore). I LOVE the Leander in randoms... can it transition to ranked? Probably! DDs - Farragut was always decent enough. I have the Shinonome and it seems to get a lot of shout outs... can someone explain why it is superior to the hatsu and fubuki? The Gnevny might be ok... but I don't see it being the best choice.

If you can't make USN DDs work then DDs in general are not the class for you...
