Looks like a UFO sighting waiting to happen xD

I think they'll have to. It's just first test iteration anyway. I'm always eagerly scanning the latest on the Supertest changes for FDR news.

What's the point of further nerfing Kremlin AA? The mounts are so fragile nowadays that you can lose a third of them in one Smolensk salvo anyway. Trying to curb late game effectiveness or something? Not that it matters in non-CV games. I don't get it.

With the few vids I have seen, I tend to agree. On the whole though I don't watch CCs at all.

FDR in this iteration is not looking good, tbh. Damage-wise it trails far behind Midway and the others. The planes are tanky(?) but that's about it, as far as I gather. In the end, that's not helping FDR much. Gonna be changes.

I fail to see what's wrong with this flag. It's not associated with Nazism, and pre-dates the Nazis. I have it mounted on Bismarck. Where's the issue?

The accuracy of Kremlin at long range is too inconsistent to be considered accurate, in its current state. Derpy is a good descriptor. Sometimes RNG gives you a good salvo, but don't count on it. So I see no issue there. Low Manoeuvrability though holds true for most of the line, except Kremlin, in a way. She can actually accelerate and decelerate pretty well and rudder shift is great, though with average speed and bad turn radius.

And he was a massive troll. At one point, internal memos got ''leaked''. The tirades he used to go on, at other employees and the playerbase as well... and his language... xD He became the face the playerbase linked to everything they hated about WoT, and so they hated him, especially because he never gave a crap. At the same time, everyone actually really loved him. Good 'ol SerB.

Obligatory 'Murica:

I fought the T10(Richtofen?) today whilst in Mino. He was pushing to me head on from mid range. Ofc, the deck armour is more than enough to resist damage from Mino, but there is a weakspot between the bow and the top of the flight deck, a kind of boxy area where the hangar is. I aimed there and just chunked 5k,6k volleys one after another, then finished him off with torps. Didn't get to see much secondary action as he wasn't able to show too much side. He would have just melted faster. He managed to attack me with AP rockets from relatively broadside, but it all overpenned I think, I only took between 2-3k damage on that drop.

Not as you go higher. There you'll usually find 4 Venezias and 2 Stalins in the vast majority of games. Venezia is the most played, at least in my experience. And of course, Haku as CV.

I haven't watched the showcase, but I'm a little worried about the torps. I think they might be too slow, especially since IIRC they also come with a very long arming distance, which becomes the worst if you try to buff their speed at all. Not sure though. Just initial thoughts.

In any case, nerfs are coming some time after CBs. Just a hunch. To start, I think it'd be OK to dial down the agility and manoeuvrability somewhat. Venezia has too much going for it right now. If it were a Russian boat, this community would have erupted into outrage mode long ago. Just sayin'.

Ahh, a gamer of history and culture, with discerning taste indeed.

The tier 8(Parsefal?) was attacking me in Lenin with torpedoes, but they were so slow, I really didn't have to do much to dodge. I think I ate 1 torp, out of 3 drops total that game, with 3 torps each. I was in the open manoeuvring and varying speeds.

That's why I said Audacious rockets have an easier time vs. DDs. The point I made is that Midway can still go after DDs with rockets with no big issue, while the Tiny Tims also bring flexibility to the table, and are effective against literally any target, something Audacious rockets cannot claim. Therefore, I consider your claim that it trumps Midway in this regard to be dubious. Looks like you and I are pretty much on the same page with everything else, save which ship is better. Yes, as I said initially Audacious bombs are weak, I'd say the weakest link in the toolkit. Torps are quite decent and the best thing about the ship. Overall, I value Midway above Audacious, and I'll go out on a limb and say most do, including those who are much better CV players than me. If I had to say why, probably because it's a complete package and as I mentioned previously, I consider the tools to be superior overall relative to Audacious, except perhaps in rockets vs. DD situations only, where Audacious has an edge. Torps are a mixed bag. DBs on Midway are far more powerful.

Mikasa statpad crowd, where you at?

On the WoWs Discord, there's a channel there with all the questions and the answers the devs gave. https://worldofwarships.eu/en/news/community/discord-launch/

Again with the putting words in my mouth? I said Midway is superior. Not that Audacious is too weak. And you can't do that and more with Midway? Audacious rockets are an easier time Vs DDs than Tiny Tims. And yet Tiny Tims can still do major damage to any DD provided you can aim, and much more besides, unlike Audacious rockets. Hardly trumping anything. No. You are making comparisons on the two based largely on their average stats, without actually weighing each CV against the other. Or, if you are and you still come to the same conclusion, you are incorrect. According to who exactly? To you and the speadsheet? I challenge you to find one top CV player which unapologetic-ally believes Audacious is flat out superior to Midway. I think what you find may surprise you. Just because randoms on average have an easier time in Audacious than Midway proves nothing. And no, before I get words put in my mouth again, it doesn't mean the stats are worthless, just that they are not necessarily indicative of the whole picture on which is the superior ship. But it's not like either of us are going to be convinced of each other's viewpoints anyway. Have a like for toning down the snide, and because I like you <3

Maybe you missed that I noted Audacious has a mere third of the total number of battles Midway has? Not to mention an even greater disparity in battle counts for each of the 2 month results. So yes, I did check your original source. And FYI, I never said that Audacious is underperforming. I said Midway is the superior CV. If we base it on those stats alone as does your argument, then Audacious should be closest rival for the top spot in competitive. Since it so good it's outperforming Midway and closer to Haku, surely that would make it a top pick. Well, it isn't. Not at all. Why? Because the tools Audacious gets are crap compared to Haku, and they're also crap compared to Midway. That's just the truth. If you don't have a Haku, the next choice is Midway. Objectively speaking Audacious relies too heavily on DOT damage to be considered superior to Midway, which easily deals more damage faster, and more consistently to any target, while also stacking DOTS like no tomorrow. Midway easily ticks most of the good bits of Audacious and then some, while also picking up the slack in the rockets and bombs of the latter. Is it fine in randoms? Yes, no argument here. Actually, it's fun. Is it better and therefore more competitive than Midway? Definitely not, in spite of what the spreadsheet shows. My comment is not incorrect. You can think so though, I'm fine with that.

Yes. You don't have to accept that, if you don't want to, but being snide when trying to present your argument is not a good look babe.
