BBs couldn't stealthfire, this is a nerf to those who could not a buff for those who couldn't Massive nerf for BBs, if you don't know why - I've explained it enough times here, you simply fail to understand how the smoke works right now Reworking captains skills is not a buff tu any single class, it's simply reworking captains skills. Point me to a single actual BB buff. The only I can think of this year is Derpitz secondary range increase.

Could you please quote those BB buffs to me? I seem to have missed them happening

Exactly this - most of the recent changes (especially for BBs) have promoted more long-range solo play, and nerfed teamwork as much as possible.

Fingers crossed that you won't meet that guy ever again and pray to the RNGesus Sadly enough I do get salty in ranked way more often than I should, usually take a break after that. Raging will just damage teams morale and make you even less focused than you already are - and since noone rages when they are winning -> this really won't help to fix your losing situation. I think Strangers123 explained this well in this one: I usually drop some ideas in the chat (for example "Chapa I'm unspotted we can cap it!" or "Hipper's flanking around the 9 line" or "Kutuzovs running, don't chase!") and check who's actually reacting to those - and then I try to work with those people who did as they are paying more attention and are more interested in some teamwork Far easier to win as a team than solo (altho I got my first Solo Warrior in one match <3) It's holiday season, more potatoes are playing, definitely. But you have to be able to carry them. Basically go with the idea of "don't expect teamwork from your team - be the one who creates it". Each player has their own idea and tactics of what to do, and sometimes those plans don't overlap - that doesn't immediately make that bad. You want everyone to go A but a Amagi goes to B side? Fine, go get the A, he might be able to catch their push and force them into a worse position - broadside to you or to him. I feel like I was stuck in 14 forever, but I managed to get through. Mental state is quite important - if you are in a good mood you'll perform far better than if you are angry. Well, I'd say then it really is going to be hard for you. This season was predicted - and it really is - to be very DD and BB heavy. Don't play Rambo, you'll just get gunned down. Be a support ship to your allies. Protect them from torps, scare away DDs. Gun down a BB if you can while not taking hits in return. If you play selfishly like people normally do in randoms you won't get far, you have to work with the team for the win.

haven't heard of this in a while, there used to be a thing that torps weren't actually where they were showed... My best guess is restart the game and see if that fixes it, make sure your internet connection is stabile (and preferably going through a wire not wi-fi), stuff like that. If those don't help open a support ticket, I wouldn't expect much from them, but who knows - maybe they'll help

You know, if you actually did one quick search you could quickly prove yourself wrong

BB buffs that haven't happened you mean? BBs pretty much haven't been changed in a long long time AFAIK no BBs have 360 turrets, and keep in mind that it isn't just the turret itself rotating - all the machinery below it has to rotate with it. Thus there may be technical limitations to to how far you can traverse the turret Perfectly fine with it as long as BBs get their actual firing ranges instead of the shortened versions we have right now(and those torps get their actual "efficiency" of hitting a target and not exploding)

Care to elaborate? What map are you talking about?

NC can do exactly that aswell. And if I went through BB concealment list I'm sure I'd find more BBs who don't have a problem to do that. Hell even the "visible form orbit" IJN BBs like Amagi can stealth up at around 13km. As for detection range after shooting... You already get spotted basically across the whole map, anyone spotting you outside of your firing range probably is too far to hit you anyway. It also took away the ability to fire in the direction of someone elses smoke without being spotted, the ability to hide a BB for 20s after he fired even if smoke is laid on him / in front of him and so on. A cruiser sitting in smoke can spot a BB firing his guns from a further distance than a DD with nothing but open water between him and the BB (referring to the "BB stealthfire" I showed a while ago) Go look up the post where I answered to DFens about this being a buff, wouldn't like to repeat myself here again and again. Here's a fun one for you - let's make cruiser citadels higher up to the deck level! That way BBs will not score penetrations on them! We can call that a buff too!!1! This comes up again and again and again... You don't have to be in the smoke for that thing to affect you, there just has to be a smokescreen within the range for it to take effect. Whenever there is a smoksescreen while paying BB you can see it only as "provides cover for enemy ships, completely seethrough as far as my ship is concerned" Then unless that guy in smoke is completely alone (why would you sit in smoke while there is noone near you spotting for you? Oh, yeah, you can spot for yourself from it) the one who is spotting whoever is in that smoke is so close to enemy team that he is about to get focused down by all the ships they have in that region. Not exactly the smartest idea to rush a smoke either way If he was spotted then so you could shoot at him - he will still be spotted now. You know well in advance that he is coming, and remind me - how many smoke laying ships don't have torpedoes? Good luck dodging torps as a BB from less than 4km And if you go for the "but germans have Hydro" angle - yeah, then they would have spotted you well ahead of time anyway. Not sure about others, as I play my BBs rather aggressively I tended to use smokescreens to their full extent. And as already mentioned - you didn't have to be inside the smokescreen for it to cover you - and you don't have to be inside the smokescreen for ships to see you straight through it now. That also was used by WG as a reasoning for the change, so must have been a thing. Exactly this. Never saw stealthfire as anything more than a minor inconvenience. Not effective against a group of ships, only usable against a lone target. And you could just tell allies where that DD is and someone would chase him away sooner or later anyway.

Yeah, removing the ability to use smoke was most definitely a buff. Lets allow ships to spot BBs through islands aswell - we can call that a buff too! And here's another one - even if there is noone able to spot the BB - as soon as BB fires (for example into the smoke or at some target over an island with no LoS) the cruiser (or DD) inside the smoke will spot that BB for himself, and their window where they can fire without being spotted themselves is more than large enough. Literally every DD and CA/L are a version of Payfast / Black right now - sit in smoke and spot for yourself bcuz why the hell not. Did you yourself red through that post? First of all it's over a year old - and if memory serves me right CA normalization and / or autobounce angles were reworked at some point since then. And he doesn't cover anything else. AFAIK US CAs have the best AP pen (and damage? or do germans get higher max dmg values?)

I'm meeting US CVs more than before the rework, and what nerf are you talking about? Ok, I've heard Essex is in a bit worse position now? Every other reworked US CV is simply better than they were previously. And they are running actually useful setups instead of AS

I wouldn't mention RPF unless I was RPF'd - why would I? I apply the same idea to others. Same idea as when you are under fire - you wouldn't clarify that you are spotted while under fire, would you? But you would mention when you came under fire while not being spotted.

So we have one more player who says that people should be punished for just picking a cruiser to play. Deleting cruiser doesn't mean he gave you broadside, you are pretty much as likely to delete a bow/stern on cruiser as a broadside one My stats preview is right there in the signature, no assumptions needed Both - DDs and BBs - can do exactly that, and I'd say with far higher success rate and efficiency, as well as far less chances of dying in the middle of it

How about you learn to write about the point instead of just throwing a random tantrum barely even touching the point you are writing about? Your original post was you yelling about you spending some 20 eur for a camo that people can now get through a mission for free - which simply is not a thing. Now you are speaking of something completely different. So... And then write a coherent post about the topic instead of that incoherent mumbling you've given us up till this point.

Edited Looked up the original article: https://worldofwarships.eu/en/news/premshop/kii-ng-of-the-sea/ and right there it clearly states Edited

Yeah, welcome to +200% holidays, expect even lower standards than normally on weekends

Let me guess, this was your brothers post? You yourself stated that you use a mod to see all the premium ships, what did you expect? Without that mod you wouldn't see Kutuzov in the TechTree and thus wouldn't be able to buy it through the game. Also Kutuzov was completely removed from sale some time ago, good job on paying attention to the game & what changes in it. Altho going by your WR seeing how you are performing as well as an AFK would be expected to perform... Can't say I'm surprised about that.

Care to elaborate? What mission? When? Where? How? Maybe provide a link to it? Never heard of anything you're talking about.

Addition to what domen3 said - you do know that Kutuzov is completely removed from sale, right?

You get an indicator when you are RPF'd - clearly not the case here.

Log out. Log in. The visual bug is gone and you have already completed your mission. Jesus people, for 2...3 months we get at least 1 player asking this PER DAY and you still can't be bothered to spend 5 seconds of your time just checking if hundreds of others haven't already asked this before you?

Last stage of North Cape unlocks at 9th January, so you have 9 days to get the DoY and do the New Years campaign aswell. Alternatively you can just buy the DoY from the shop and do that campaign right away.

Yeah, they really look good if you only count the positives and completely disregard any negatives they have. They really aren't. yeah, germans are tankier - but stand nowhere near the damage output potential. And RN are pretty much on par or worse than equal tier IJN/US BBs (with the only exception being Orion as neither Myogi nor Wyoming are particularly great) So other classes have been changed while BBs haven't had that, hardly a "buff" don't you think? Buff is when something gets buffed instead of staying the same, you know. Flamu's a great player and knows a lot, I'm not going to deny that. But he still often places himself over everyone else on an imaginary throne, makes himself the center of the world and assumes way too many things that aren't anything more than baseless assumptions. Just a personal preference I guess.

Every single mission in this game starts / changes into next one at 6 AM CET unless it's specified otherwise (like it was with the Clash of the Elements). These events are shown to go till 18th January - that means that they will end on 18th January at 6 AM, you won't be able to do them during the day of 18th January. Over 1700 battles and you notice it just now? Exactly, it rounds the timer. 5 days -> 4 days -> ... -> 1 day -> 23 hours -> 22 hours -> ... -> 2 hours -> 1 hour -> 59 min -> 58 min -> ... -> 2 min -> 1 min -> at 6:00 CET the mission becomes available The "1 day" is / should be shown when it's 36 to 24 hours left, after which the hour counter starts. More than 36 hours would be displayed as 2 days and so on
