HE is indeed very prone to 'damage soaked up by modules'.

HE not AP

Actually just ordered a shirt with 'You cannot scare me, I have a Polish wife!' written on it. Does this count as blinking?

Without some replays, an explanation for these differences you think you encounter is hard to come by. It is extremely important what ship hits which part of what enemy ship. Actually, if you hit with a single BB HE shell at the same spot on the same ship, like you do with a 5", 6", or 8" shell, you will see differences. There is no way a single 127mm HE shell does more damage to the same target as a 406mm HE shell. if you are hitting the same parts.

Everytime, I read longer topics with ThinderChief posting in them, I start being completely undecided if I should just laugh and eat popcorn, or if I should drink some or all of these: (from which I tasted (and like) every single one already, despite not being Polish... comes with having Polish parents-in-law)

I can agree to that. I am playing exclusively solo random, and my WR is quite OK, and I do actually have the feeling I play games in which my participation matters.

CV do not play like sheeps at all, so no, I do not want to play CV.

Unfortunately, because people don't even know, there is a website to this game that has more information than the client and the premium shop.

You might be acutally right, that is even closer, at least phonetically.

For T6 the fully equipped Hatsuharu is not so bad. In my opinion, she is more capable of doing good, than the old T6 Mutsuki before. Somehow, she feels better than the T6 Fubuki. However, the Shiratsuyu is a interesting boat, that can abuse her torp reload consumable to do massive torp damage, while having 5 guns to also do damage. The T7 Akatsuki is less fun, in my opinion. However, if you really like stealthy torp boats, T8+T9 Kagero and Yugumo are very nice indeed. Cannot comment on ranked, where you have to encounter well equipped Bensons on T8 on a fairly regular basis.

Annoyance is the word you are looking for.

Would add to some existing and with new skills even more pronounced imbalances in the ship line. Semi sunken ships will not protect DDs from getting shot if spotted, and even more random obstacles, that do not break line of sight at the same time makes playing IJN DD even harder... and these ships are already less efficient at higher tiers than their counterparts, namely USN and VMF. So, ships that need to rely on torpedoes to do something in battle then also need to avoid these wrecks, additionally to all those spotter planes, hydros, radars, vigilance skills... no thank you.

White line is now an ingame setting that can be activated, was a mod prior to that. Deployment time, and staying time of the smoke screen depends on the ship using smoke.

Please no additional obstacles that can be abused as citadel protection and/or torpedo net.

Uh... hm... ok... gameplay wise, I think, I would like the change to prem consumables... at the moment, premium ones are so much better, that you get a significant advantage if you use them.... now they are closer together with standard ones, still offering the edge in gameplay. With 22500 creds a piece I was not running full premium, because I am still advancing through almost all tech trees, and thus I never have enough credits in stock. With the lowered costs, I would run full premium and still make a bigger profit than before.

Has been changed to a) promote more aggressive play, and b) to tune the economy a bit. You pay the servicing cost, no matter the damage you take, so you do not need to not take hits and not sink in order to get more credits. So, in principle if you take one for the team, and you secure the victory, this is rather beneficial.

Just for the full explanation, you will never reach more than 18 skillpoints atm. and with new skill system you will be able to get 19 skill points, not a single point more. You will never be able to take all skills.

The stakes were high, and we got tons of immoral offers.

You are welcome, and thanks a lot... and yes, I did watch the flamu vid while opening that box... and got... *drum roll*... 100 New Year 2017 camo...

Remember here, that the skill is not just capping at 3 fires, it combines your superstructure from 2 fire sections to a single one. I'd guess the number of 2 fires you had at your superstructure was quite large. This will not happen anymore.

I am actually a bit baffled, that more players managed to achieve the Aiming? medal (186k) than the Break the Bank one (154k) yet.

Congratulations to all the winners! A big THANK YOU to all of you, and all the other donors and participants! Let's have a nice 2017 and keep the communitiy spirit up!

Have no fear, the RU community is quite vocal, how bad the new skills will be for the poor BBs, and how much they got nerfed by the new skills... ... ... ... oh ... ... wait

If you are spotted, there is something to shoot in your range. If you cannot see it, start using WASD hack.

1) WG stated, that they do not use submerged launchers due to implementation reasons 2) most gun ranges are tuned down for gameplay reasons
