Whilst I do play all classes I am, at heart, a great big BBaby (they account for 42% of my games) so I guess bring it. And if it is the other 52% of my games then I am still happy to tackle any destroyers

I have to wonder how many players are even aware of the changes.

What Were Your Greatest Gaming Achievements Today ?
ilhilh replied to Hanszeehock's topic in General Discussion
Haven't played my Gremy in a while as I've been too lazy to swap the captain out of the Gnevny (same tier) and more recently the Ognevoi. So I really debated about going through the hassle of swapping the captains (2 clicks?) but I'm glad I did in the end: -
Yea, I played this in Coop on the test server in my Bismarck. A and C are deathtraps. and since Bismarck... not so low tier... potentially all the way to the top
-
That isn't a bug. It is a detonation. Happens to everyone, randomly. It is a fun and engaging mechanic.

Share your opinion: Is World of Warship now unpleasant to you too ?
ilhilh replied to Gepeto_017's topic in General Discussion
Generally, no - I am still enjoying it. Can't really speak for Coop as I don't play it generally - for me the enjoyment is playing against other players. Of course there are issues and some times I get really salty about the conduct of my team, or the fact that your afk Hindenburg likely pushing the scales against your team causing a loss (easy example to find since it happened in this morning's game), but then I guess I make mistakes myself and I enjoy the game enough to load it up rather than others in my spare time. -
I haven't heard anyone bragging about that for about 9 months or more!

You forgot to mention the TAE bug that means your torps are not sped up but your bombs are :p

Essex, Patch 5.12.: Victory with 156K damage and still loosing credits, WTF?

I had half noticed it myself this morning but thought I was just tired. Definitely a change though. -

There is also a change in re-arm times for TBs/DBs: -

CV economy was balanced around the fact that if your team wins you have a high chance of being alive - if you are a good CV then it is one of the most survivable classes. This has now changed to a flat fee which means CVs will generally suffer increased costs. Was it predictable? Yes. Do WG think through the implications of their changes? Hodor. -
If you want to progress through the grind-fest that is ranked then you should really give yourself the best possible chance of actually progressing - it might be dull but why would you bring a Tashkent or a Fubuki to the game?
-
As others have said what you are comfortable in is important but, that being said the New Orleans is not going to be fun and the Benson is going to outshine the Fubuki because it is a gunboat. So, if you want DDs then it should be the Benson. If you fancy BBs then all tier 8s are viable and the NCal is going to be my BB choice (since I don't have the Bismarck) because it has excellent bow armour and AA, but make sure you have free XP to get the B hull ASAP if you want to be truly helpful to your team.
-
I like the number of CVs. They are not in every game which would be dull but they are in enough - it adds variety. They are creeping back into the high tiers as well. You still get the whiney people who rushed to t10 and cry that it isn't the same as a year ago and CVs have been 'nerfed into the ground' but most sensible people can still see that they are still able to perform and be a big contributor to the team at any tier.

Ships that you will bring to Ranked Season 5
ilhilh replied to RenamedUser_92906789's topic in General Discussion
Dragon flag that to 15pts and CE! -
I guess I didn't need to quote you to make my point which is that they have increased the stars per rank and this has increased and brought more into focus the grind. It always was about just plugging away at the games, but adding more stars and removing the 1st star on a new rank have just made it worse.
-
I don't think the number of flags/season has been consistent.

Which forum members have you seen in random battles?
ilhilh replied to Cobra6's topic in General Discussion
Met LilJumpa for the second time in 2 days yesterday, again on the enemy team. This time I was in my Mogami (final ever game) and he was in his Zao. He did say he was on a losing streak and so it proved to be... they were 6-0 down next thing I knew and it isn't often you recover from that... -
I ran out of premium by accident, and then I got a 1 day premium offer at 100% discount... so I took that!

Ships that you will bring to Ranked Season 5
ilhilh replied to RenamedUser_92906789's topic in General Discussion
Tier 6: Fuso - trollish. Tier 8: Benson, NCal and Shokaku will be my primary choices. May get the Bismarck later on. Do have the Tirpitz but in previous seasons I have preferred the NCal. -
I have recently got it and am adjusting. I find it is far better suited to shooting BBs than CAs compared to some other BBs but maybe that is just me...
-
Having bought the shokaku a 2-3 weeks ago I can confirm it is UP: I have played all CVs to tier 8 and have yet to find a tier where you cannot be an asset to your team in a CV. Hell, even the USN ones can be made to work even if not as effectively as the IJN ones. EDIT: As others have said were you trying to attack a full HP NCal? Because that was never something you could do.

Outrageously bad HE damage against BBs with IJN 203mm HE
ilhilh replied to kantkantian's topic in General Discussion
My Mogami is a fire breathing monster and just last night I was getting 3-5k dmg rolls with the fires. -
Even if the data on that site was correct (which it apparently isn't) you still took total number of secondary guns to argue the case that NC ones are better when it discounts things such as range and ammo type.

Low experience for CVs with fighters
ilhilh replied to anonym_O8tf3somLU6N's topic in General Discussion
Ran into an AS Ranger last night in my Saipan. He killed 10 of my planes. I killed 36 enemy planes and also kicked out a load of damage because he couldn't stop me making my attacks. So giving more XP for plane kills would have made my XP go up but he would still have been useless. Because AS is useless.
