I have them both. I know it will slow me down tremendously for getting the tier 5 skill but it's a decision I made, especially since I'm not planning for a fast grind for tier 10.

The exact changes hasn't been revealed yet (expect them in 0.5.3 bulletin which should come out next month) but the devs are aiming for these goals: from http://thearmoredpatrol.com/2016/01/20/ru-wows-forums-0-5-3-changes/ Other info I gathered suggest that most changes for AA will be toward long range AA which will get an increase in DPS but slightly lower range. The premium Mikhail Kutuzov was a test for this change so expect something similar to its AA.

Again, you probably didn't have the captain skill that increases the turret rotation by 2.5 deg/s. With that upgrade you can make the turrets turn 180 degrees in 13 seconds so it's not so bad. I should add that I also didn't install the accuracy increasing module and went for AA module instead, which is why I feel that the accuracy of the guns are very bad.

I had the same problem but it seems it's updating now.

I personally found the upgraded guns on Mutsuki not so good against DDs compared to the 4 guns of Mutsuki and Minekaze (if you have the captain skill that increases your turret rotation). Mutsuki is good at capping and AA, this make her very good in domination matches but not so much in 2-point matches where there's little capping to be done. What saddens me is that Minekaze is still better at capping because she's faster and has the same detection. WG shouldn't have nerfed Mutsuki's stealth the same as Minekaze.

Tenryuu is the best tier 3 destroyer

His second pic says it all, he shot an allied Amagi and a Tirpitiz.

AA is getting a rework in 0.5.3

I'm more concerned about the fact you paid 21k fine.. what did you do?

I don't know, they say it was done only to the Japanese ships http://forum.worldofwarships.com/index.php?/topic/51279-china-wows-server-changed-the-japanese-ship-name-lol/ Anyway, you guys forget the part that this Benson will have better stats that the regular Benson, because premium ships are always better

They also changed the names of all IJN ships and gave then different names.

Ev1n did promise that they will reopen the EU Q&A.. since July! http://forum.worldofwarships.eu/index.php?/topic/1434-your-questions-to-developers/page__st__740__pid__397769#entry397769

Buffalo will probably be a reward pf some sort, like thr tier 10 tanks in wot awarded for the winners of clan wars.

Finally, the Mutsuki AA fix!

from http://forum.worldofwarships.ru/index.php?showtopic=41482&view=findpost&p=1739061 0.5.3 bulletin will more likely come in early Febreuary. From yesterday's Q&A: - Buffalo won't come this year! - Characteristics of Khabarovsk top torps will be reviewed when the game will have more electric torpedoes.

Dude, that's a comment from August!

I have uploaded a few replays myself, and must say it's a really good website. I always wished there was one similar to what World of Tanks has. The commentary videos are pretty fun to watch too.

Yeah, but look at his last sentence together with the stream Q&A. They are thinking of buffing secondaries.

Sub_Octavian finally explains what they are. http://forum.worldofwarships.ru/index.php?showtopic=41244&view=findpost&p=1728517

Yeah, but at least now we have something to show every time someone opens up a "nerf fire damage" thread!

I agree. It seems about right. I should add that dev said these stats are consistent to what they want in the game, that being a ship dying to multiple damage sources. Also, fire damage is at normal levels and there's no ship thing as World of Fires.

- Arpeggio ships will stay for at least a year, after that, WG will see if Arpeggio owners allow them to keep the arpeggio content. - 0.5.4 will improve shooting behind islands. - 0.5.3 we will expect an increase in the role of long range AA and a slight increase in the loss of planes of high tier carriers, and much more. - 0.5.3 will also see changes to carriers airgroups or the planes stats (can't really tell from that translation) - Q: I want to purchase a premium carrier, can this happen? A: yes. (I thought they said they won't sell carriers!) - the following chart shows the percentage of HP lost due to fire damage (and other parameters that Sub_Octavian didn't explain) for last months stats. Fire damage is in red, seconds from bottom. (for example, BB tier 2 "Mikasa" lost 17.7% of her HP due to fire damage excluding the amount of HP regenerated). - Someone asked about some ships that existed a long time ago in the game and what will happen to them. I'll quote the dev reply http://forum.worldofwarships.ru/index.php?showtopic=33727&view=findpost&p=1724853

I wanted to share this here. Dev ArdRaeiss and NA Supertester amade helped me understand AA mechanic a little bit more so thanks to them.

Murmansk deals more damage than all cruisers up to tier 8 (excluding Mogami) and more than Baltimore. Not that WG is planning an AA rebalance next patch, and if it means a buff then we can pretty much say goodbye to the CV playerbase.

Thanks for the link.
