Yes but. You don't have to do "all the missions" listed to complete a stage.

Damn... that SLAVA is fast for a Russian BB watching that video.

This game used to be more fun when concealment actually meant something and could be used to an advantage. But when the new CV changes came about... concealment is broken and worth nothing now. Unfortunately, I do think CV is going to drive more new players away from the game - than it will keep. CV breaks too much of the game mechanics. Anyway... back to playing KAGA.

Yeah... fake news... russian bots. Seems really odd (strange even ) how many have got the Pommern. The top ship, you just don't expect that kind of drop rate with it from boxes. Maybe they should offer boxes for the Mushi again.

DD players should check the range of their AA. Some DD can shoot planes from 5.8k away, but might have a ship detection radius of only 2.5k. Meaning they give themselves away to CV when planes come in-range to their AA guns - when CV has not even spotted them yet at 5.8k away from the ship. Experienced DD players will be aware of that and switch AA off until the ship is spotted. But many DD players no so experianced will make that mistake with their AA still switch on and not realising it might have a further reach than their ships detection radius

So do CV rocket planes after the recent change now only work by shooting ships "side on" with them?

I noticed other day after doing the free daily 3 boxes that give drops. Because they have both the German and Azur Lane collection running at same time. The German collection had been auto disabled from dropping items for it with free boxes in favour of giving items for the Azur Lane collection instead. So I enabled the German collection - which temp disabled the Azur Lane one now. So now daily free boxes are dropping items for the German collection instead. Just a heads up on that one, seem like Azur Lane collection pauses the German one, regarding the 3 free loot boxes you can get each day playing.

Have you upgraded the planes to the better ones yet, also took the two 3pt skills that boost planes strength If I remember right Implacable is supposed to have some of the strongest planes at T8 out all other CVs. But when I played it they never seemed that strong (probably because of a smaller plane squad) due to planes being stronger. But it's funny because when you play a CV like KAGA that has really weak planes but a large squad. It just seems to do better with planes surviving attacks and able to make more than one attack pass most of the time. When CV's have stronger planes and small squad - they seem to struggle getting two passes in. Doesn't feel balanced right to me, CVs that have larger squads and weaker planes do better.

Oden does have a plane, you can use flighter/spotter plane. But Pommern does not have any plane

I thought Azumo was the next dry dock ship up for grabs? Why another USA Cruiser ship again, wasn't that long ago when you had PR (another USA Cruiser) in dry dock. Which was before Oden if I'm right. So last 3 ships in Dry dock, 2 out the 3 will have been USA Cruisers if Anchorage is next and not Azumo. Pretty sure I read Azumo was coming next in dry dock. I remember it because I already have Azumo, so thought I won't have to bother with doing the comp then.

Very nice result there playing George, getting 200k damage. But I have both that and Pommern. I prefer the latter hands down. You may need a few more games done in George, where you don't do so great to get a better opinion of it.

Watched it also. It was a good movie.

I used to play Arty at times in WOT. I played that for a long time before coming to WOWS. I play CV now and then also. I don't think Arty in WOT ever had the same kind of dominance over the game like CV does in WOWS. CV have just made it really hard for DD play now, when you consider DD also have Radar ships to cope with as well on-top CV once you enter into T8 or higher matches playing a DD. People talk about CV just blabbing a DD off the map. But they don't even need do that most of the time. I mean, a DD enters a cap and already used up his smoke (maybe) and now is waiting to reload and CV flies in and spots him. Then CV just circles the DD who can't smoke up again yet to keep him spotted trying to escape cap for Cruiser and BB to blab him. I have done that with DDs while playing CV. Just keep him spotted for other ships near the cap that the DD entered into and can't smoke up again so soon afterwards

I would not touch a DD from T7 onwards that doesn't have torps that can fire at least 10k. With the amount of Radar ships and CV in game now and the bigger chance of spotting you while trying to torp. Having less than 10k torp range is just bad trying and play a DD and survive.

Looking at the list of ship ideas in the first posts. Only the T10 premium with 6 secondary per-side and a long range on them would interest me. All the others kinda look too similar to the other BB Brit tech line already in place. Most having the same (lower tier) main gun "4 turret layout with only 2 guns per-turret". Why not stick 2 x 4 guns layout on some like Nelson and make it bit different - WOWS adds enough fantasy ships when they want too.

Well actually. Fiji is probably one the best Brit cruisers for its tier 7 to play. Although, yes, I think Leander before Fiji plays well for its tier 6 class also. It just gets far worse after Fiji ship with Brit cruisers in that same line. Edinburgh is just an epic fail and so is the cruiser after it (both put in T10 matches) with no HE to use. And then you get the T10 cruiser last... which is just a totally different ship really made out of mash potato that takes citadels just by looking at it. That said, it's a real irk anyway from the start that none of them can fire HE sells and only use AP rounds. And once you get to T8 Edinburgh - that lack of not having HE shells to use in T10 matches becomes a real burden .

I like Vanguard, which is saying something for a premium Brit BB. But it is a decent ship to play with good agility for a BB to keep yourself angled - and has good HE for starting fires often. It can be a fun ship to play for a BB and really annoying for the enemy at times with it's fire starting ability and gun accuracy

Oh I have played lower tiers... grinding 3 ship classes right up to T10. And many others up to around tier 7 or 8 and then stopped. What made you think I've not played low tier ships, when I've played the game for around 2-3 years now? Nobody plays lower tiers much now, why it takes ages to try and join a low tier match and half the ships in them are bots making up the numbers due to lack of interest in playing lower tiers. And who wants to keep playing lower tiers when you been there - done that one already? Just because somebody buys a Tier 10 ship, that doesn't mean they have not played lower tiers and only buys higher tier prem ships to skip doing so. If you think PR is such a great ship (which doubt you even have it to know), then tell me why you hardly ever see anyone playing it now since in T10 matches? I have the T9 Azumo cruiser, which I'd say is a great flanking Cruiser for playing with good guns that are super accurate. PR in comparison for playing is garbage. If I could sell it for credits back, I would. But seeing as it's a special ship you're kind of stuck with the trash, the only use it has for me is playing it in COOP now when it might be useful to do some missions against bots that are rubbish and make PR look superb. lmao.

Don't see where they can go with a second line of Brit BB, if they don't give them good secondary guns to make them different. I know it's not a Brit thing with BB ships (having good secondaries). But what else can they do with a new line then? Maybe do the same as the new USA planned split BB line - add some Brit BB ships doing 23 knots but having stronger armour. Not sure what else they can do with 2nd BB line. And I reckon that might be what happens... same as the new USA split BB line. As all the low tier Brit BBs before you hit T7 are slow, much like the USA BB line at lower tier. So wouldn't be suprised if they do same thing with the split Brit BB line as they are doing with the USA one.

George is weak if anyone gets a side shot on you. I have the ship and hardly play it since. But you know, there are a lot of premium BBs sold now that have weak side armour and take heavy damage when hit. Bajie and more so... AL Sov. Rossiya are the same if you get caught out with side-shots. The worst part for me about George, it only having 6 guns. It feels too under-gunned when playing it against other BBs

If you're going to split the UK BB line to include a second new line of Brit BBs. Then please make it so the second line has decent secondary guns to use. There is no top tier end British ships with good secondary guns with decent range on them

I want that DD that can shoot so many torps at once.

Should not be taking that long. I'm download the game again now to install and have around 14mps download rate and it's 92% done so far after 1 hour and 10 minutes downloading.

Those gun turrets look French. Bit like on Bart

I like the fact Saipan has no secondary guns. It means you don't need bother at all thinking about wasting any skills on secondary guns. And really, only Graff Zep is worth speccing for secondary guns anyway on a CV. Saipan gains better CV speed, 33 knots and better concealment when full specced for it. But problem is that it's more or less impossible to take the concealment module on Saipan (and fully spec concealment with skill used for it also) and not take the "boost plane regen rate" module instead of it. I have all the skills taken on Saipan to boost regen rate with planes, and the module taken for it instead of concealment. And still, you do struggle with plane regen rates. So taking concealment instead of plane regen rate for that last module is not an option you can afford to do. Which means you can't really take advantage of maxing out Saipan concealment - or you'll end up even worse with plane regen rates - that is already bad when you max the CV out for it. On the other hand, I can max out concealment with KAGA using the skill and module together and not suffering from running out planes all match. Ending up with better concealment than Saipan - with it only being able to take the skill for concealment. While module needs be used to boost plane regen rates
