So ive got two questions that id love to have answered. Question 1: Do we know when the next ranked season starts and what the rules / tiers will be? Also, can someone explain roughly how the ranks work and hgow to ascend/descend, as ive never participated in ranked before? Question 2: Ive currently got the myoko, t7 jap cruiser, with a 10pt captain without ifhe(obviously), and im looking at the t8 mogami, and that thing seems very strong with the 155mm guns, and not so strong with the 203's, only problem is that id need ifhe for the 155's to work, something which no other ship in the line needs, so trainging my captain for that seems stupid. Is the mogami with the 203's viable at all? Or what is the general concensus on playing this ship with the 203's or 155's w/o ifhe? Cheers for answers!

So based on the fact that we are all about to get a free indi, i was wondering how it compares to the new orleans? What are the biggest differences? Im a pretty sub-avarege joe still, and cant yet accurately predict a ships difference in playstyle based on the stats shown in-game, so i would love some discussion about the difference of these two ships cheers

I got a sims from a mission crate

Only reason to fire he is if you know you will be firing on a dd lolz. Ap will give you massively more damage against pretty much everything, if only you use them right. Dont just fire on reload, wait for an enemy to turn and show broadside, and make sure to aim for the center of the ship by the waterline, this is how you citadel stuff. Also, tier 3 isnt even mid tiers, tier 5-8 is mid. Tier 3 has little resemblance to the gameplay at higher tiers..

so i just got a sims in an american box, and have no clue about its playstyle nor recommended build, only thing i know is its got good guns and decent aa? Id love some build recommendations as well as recommendations for playstyle in random battles. Thanks in advance.

Thanks everyone for your time! I have a pretty good idea of what i want now :D

Thanks for all the tips and recommendation guys! bft + aft seems like a decent idea as it buffs both the guns and the aa, only question is: with the shell arcs, would aft help the guns at all? or would i not be able to use the range anyways? I was also wondering about ifhe and or demo expert, what are your opinions of these skills on the sims? Based on your recommendations, i think i know aprox how i want to build it, only thing im missing is the viability of aft, ifhe and demo expert.

So, amongst all the gibberish posted in the news section, i cannot find a single source of information about the new american cruiser rebalance. Can anyone link me to the exact balance changes? I want numbers, not wargamings videos where they just say: "weve improved this and that but we wont tell you how much blahblahblah" cheers

What would be the best skills to run on a leningrad/the ru dd line? Do i want ifhe? aft? bft? Please motivate why i would want/not want certain skills.

Okay, thanks guys for all the tips! ill go with flamus build probably

Isnt 10% better rof from bft worth a lot? or am i missing something?

Ok, so per peoples recommendations, ill go for the russian dd line with the leningrad. What would be the best build for my captain for the leningrad/also the other dds? Do i want ifhe? Do i want bft/aft? What would be the best skill build? Answers would be appriciated

Ive played mostly cruisers, and up to t5 BB:s on the muricans (Which i really did not enjoy), and at this point, i kinda wanna go for high tier battleships on some line. So which line would you recommend and why? what are their strenghts and weaknesses? I know there are many old threads on this, but i want something which isnt outdated and also takes british bb:s into consideration. Would be grateful for any suggestions.

Thanks for a very detailed answer rnat! I think i will give the germans a go. Would also be awesome if someone could do a similar summary of the british bb:s, cause all i know about them is that the he is broken ;)

Well, because of what ive heard about the broken nature about the british BB:s, i have a feeling that the line is gonna get nerfed when im halfway through it, that is why im a bit unwilling to dive right into the new trend. So german battleships are easy to learn and good on average? Might be an interesting line, how exactly do they stack up against the other nations in terms of strenghts and weaknesses? In terms of: Firepower penetration/how effective is the ap at citadeling? Range Accuracy Armor AA Adaptability Playstyle etc? And how does the t10 compare to other nations t10?
