The upcoming Kaga would better not to come too close with its flood of Tier 6 planes. I can imagine from here the Hood Captain shouting: "ROKKIT LAUNCH, NUKE THA SKIES" while hammering a big red button with a skull drawn on it.

For the lolz, maybe.. But other than this, there is probably MUCH more useful skills to pick than investing points into puny guns that won't really threaten anything else than a destroyer (what your main guns will do better anyway). Would it be worth it for a Tirpitz/Bismarck/Scharnhorst, with all the 105mm they have? Beside this, Warspite would probably be a viable choice for a 7km secondary range, if only Manual Secondaries gave it a higher accuracy bonus than 15%. The 15% bonus for sub-Tier 7 that jumps up to 60% at Tier 7+ is a bit.. weird and disappointing.

Salut, J'étais passé il y a des lustres pour devenir membre, avais un peu joué avec certains membres (Thisheep, Nirgal et PalpaTruck), mais j'ai fait une longue pause dans le jeu. Je me suis enfin décidé à m'y remettre un coup. Il vous resterait de la place sur le TS, par hasard? Juste pour divisionner avec des gens sympas avec lesquels j'ai déjà joué, je ne compte pas vous piquer de slot de joueur dans le clan...

Hello guys, As a player used to mostly enjoyed light cruisers and gunboats, I left the game with the introduction of the 0.6.3 because I disapprove the way devs handle the gmae. I felt like things were totally getting out of control with: -inter-class balance: gunboats nerf (stealth is gone), a fair number of BB getting their range buffed.. Wait.. Aren't those already too numerous? Now DDs have to keep a huge detection range during 20s after stopping to use their pew-pews? wtf -messing with customer purchases: Blyska nerf, no stat compensation while a few other nerfed ships received one. I wouldn't care if it wasn't paid with gold, but they could at least have given her something to compensate the loss of that huge advantage she had. It's hard to trust the devs if they keep messing around with premium ships. I already got the joke with the post-CBT Sims, which was left in a dire state for a while, before to finally receive some love. On the other side, they: -added marathons (Graf Spee! and probably the Hood soon) -added containers (Free Kutuzov and flags! Although they changed the supercontainer drop chance by a LOT and added those useless special upgrades) -buffed some other premiums ships I own (although some of them REALLY didn't needed it. Buffing the Konig Alberts, Arkansas and Kamikaze? lolwut) Still, Blyska was my favourite. Am I the only one to feel like Lesta is doing it wrong? Did gunboats (including Blyska and Belfast) suffered a lot since the 0.6.3? I hope you guys will be kind enough to share you point of view with me. (and maybe convince me to come back at one point?) Greetings, Sams_Baneblade.

I have no idea about how do those frenchies behave in battle. But since the Albert's gun range is now superior to its detectability range and that I run mine with CE, I guess it would still give me a few tricks up my sleeve.

I'd like to thank you all for your constructive advices. Honestly, I was expecting more trolls or something. And even if Lesta is screwing up game balance, an answer from a staff member is always welcome, thank you Crysantos. Maybe I'll give the game another chance when the Hood campaign will show up, if the ship is the marathon prize. I really hope I won't be too much disappointed. And if I am, I could stiil try to go BB-main in my Konig Albert and Arkansas. After all, someone has to pump up WG's statistics and show them how neneficial for the game are slugfests

Oh okay. Still.. No wonder I left. Lesta is a bunch of unreliable idiots.

Yeeeeeah, sure. Stealth fire removal IS a nerf. And I don't remember my Blyska to receive any compensation, unlike a few other ships.

Meanwhile, in World of Tanks, the whole arty class gets rebalanced in Public Test. All of those? No, a damn piece of skypooper resists and stays OP the way it was. It can still land penetrating hits that deal full damages and equip premium ammunitions where all the others have to rely on splash and only HE. Btw, it's the leFh and it is a premium artillery. *flies away* PS: premium lights keep their current stats and lose their +3MM to a +2, while regular ones are nerfed to receive that +2MM

It remembers me the post-CBT Sims that "wasn't nerfed" according to devs...

How is the Blyska since the total fail new patch? I don't even want to take it for a run...

Erm... No. I don't want to support the direction this game is taking. I will install the update, get the submarine, get one victory for the 30k commander xp and immediately uninstall the game for a very long break.

Yesterday I got a SC with 1000 golds. I play to get one TYL container a day and it's the first SC dropped since 40 days. (see my sign \o/ ) I'll keep farming this way although I'll probably stop to play WoWS for a while after the 0.6.4 comes out. By the time, I hope I will be able to get another one and that it won't include one of those dumb upgrades.

This review really tempts me to buy it. It looks awesome. But since my Blyska's stealth ability will disappear along with the horrendous complete stealth-shooting removal, I don't want to support this game anymore. Especially if anything I buy that isn't a BB risks to be nerfed at any time.

About the current Sims vs CBT Sims:CBT:It had powerful guns with higher fire chances, MUCH flatter shell trajectory and less float. HE damages were also very consistent due to different HE mechanics where small calibers were more effective against heavy armor than now. It only had short ranged torpedoes and a lower ROF .OBT:WG nerfed USN DD gunnery to oblivion, turning this ship from a gem to a turd. Not so long ago:WG decided to give this ship some love: a second set of torpedoes (the water mines) and increased the ROF to 18 RPM I'm not a professionnal player, but it left me this impression: In Randoms (2 battles): it's playable, but it's not my cup of tea. In Ranked (18 battles): I really appreciate it here and have a decent 60% wr. I run it with BFT, SE and CE and it is pretty brutal against other DDs. I contest the caps, ambush Jap DDs so they are forced to engage a DPM fight under 7 km, thing that they cannot win. PS: another critical advantage it has over any other Tier 7 ship is its silly xp coefficient, which allows not to lose a star even in a defeat.

Let's imagine. You work to raise money for a Ferrari. An expensive "high speed sport car capable to reach 150 km/h in 5 seconds". You receive it. Whoa, great-looking. Then you realize it can't even reach 70 km/h because they gave you a lawnmower engine without warning. But you still paid the full $$price$$. Other cars get the same, but the difference feels minimal compared to your beast. The seller: "Hey. Who needs to reach a good speed that fast? It's a nice addition, but nothing else. All that matters is the look. Moreover, it's more fair for those who only bought a Lada. Stop being a whining baby." You know Ferrari could easily add Golden rims and a big diamond at the front as a compensation, but NOTHING about it is mentionned. Anyhere. How would you react? (Silly example, but you get my point.)

Asked like this, no.But in the heat in the battle, there will often be one moment where you are the only reachable target for an ennemy player, especially in late game (fewer other choices left). Don't get me wrong, I'm not a professionnal whiner. I understand why they don't leave premiums with a signifiant advantage. But I paid 20€ for a this ship, which was described as a stealth-sniper. And this feature is particularly important in its gameplay (unlike the Sims with its mortars or the Leningrad with its very limited stealth margin. Almost nothing will change for them). Even if it's more fair, I'm quite pissed as it's not anymore what I paid for, it's signifiantly weaker. It remembers me the Sims übernerf right after the CBT and doesn't inspire me trust either. I was planning to get a Scharnhorst this weekend, but I think I won't. I'm too afraid at one point WG decides ALL the german BBs must be twice as flammable "because it's more fair". :/ (Btw, stealth shooting removal is a terrible idea from the start. BBabies will be so happy, one step closer from "World of Battleships".)

Blyskawica?

Hi, What skills would you choose for a Scharnhorst axed on secondaries? (and if possible with Vigilance not to be blapped by DDs. Might CE be useful on a german BB?) If it can be of any use, I already have a 10pts captain for my Konig Albert/Graf Spee with the following: http://shipcomrade.com/captcalc/0100000000100000000000010000000119 and no concrete idea about what to choose next, except for AFT.

Played a handful of ranked in my Belfast... I think I did something wrong as I got a 40% WR while getting 67k avg in randoms. I will give it another chance and play smarter. Meanwhile, my Sims truly shines (and rarely loses stars due to its retarded xp coeff).

Looooong time ago, the Sims was sold in CBT. It was a beast. When WOWS went in OBT, it got nerfed to oblivion, then re-buffed and equipped with weird watermines (still not close of its former glory, tho). I refused to play this fallen premium other than in coop to farm commander xp and credits, pulling my hair away to have bought it instead of the gremlin. Recently, I gave it it's chance in randoms, I did okay. And this week, I finally decided myself to try my luck in ranked. Oh boy, what a pleasure. I haven't played a lot of games, but I can say it's my new battlehorse for this mode. While I can't make the Belfast work for now, this one gave me: -Rank 15 14 relatively quickly -one 106k dmg game -another game with 1.1 million tanked dmgs where I wiped the floor with a Mahan's face (2 gun hits taken, 5 torp salvoes dodged without effort, then rekt) -a fair amount of top xp games with lots of caps -hilarious DPM races with jap DDs and a few unexpected watermines hits I still wish it wasn't equipped with water-moon mortars, but no regrets anymore. \o/

Yeaaaaaaaaah... Everybody here has no point. You are the only one out of 30 people to know the only Truth and all are afraid of it. . . . Please tell me you are trolling us.

Had 3 at the very beginning (50k freepex and 2X250 flags in 2-3 weeks), then it suddently stopped. Since the patch (or whatever) that reduced their occurence, I only got a single supercontainer. That's few, considering I unlocked one container everyday, sometimes two. (Its content was worth, tho )

*sigh* Another player who wants his BB to dominate everything else so he doesn't have to learn to play properly... Devs definetely need to make this game dull and boring.

While the idea in itself is nice, people (and by people I mean more than "few players") will give it stupid/lewd names, the same way we did with our Charizard on gameboy. Expect a spam of creative names like: -KMS S1EG HE1L -HMS SUCKMYD_ -IJN INYAMOMSBUTT -ORP POLAKS_ARE_NOOBS . . . No, thanks.
