@MrConway these radar threads are just getting out of control and starting to loiter the forum everyday. From today on, I will continue to tag @MrConway until they put a fixed radar discussion thread or something like that to clear up the forum. I for one, even though a player who thinks radar needs some adjustments both on MM wise and Mechanic wise, sick of seing this threads. I am sorry for any inconvinience I will cause in advance!

Oh yeah.. I actually unlocked her about a month ago.. But I decided to go buy Moskva instead.. (not regretting!) Bought her on sunday, took her out for a spin yesterday.. after first battle.. here comes the perma camo! She really screams that she is a keeper..

That is not a DM... It is a "DesMemes" Completely different from the DesMo!

This game is not a simulator. Game balance always trumps the realism. WG is trying to put realism in, unless the thing they are tweaking with has nothing to do with the balance. But I can only ask for this from the realism side. when the hard weather conditions start to hit, ships loose speed. Especially If they are going against the winds.. and they drift away even going in a straight line when they take the wind from side and they can go even faster than their original top speed If they take the wind from back AND if the ship is sturdy enough.. So, If it is possible, I would like to see these mechanics put into the cyclone times in the game.. so the DDs will not be running around with 40knots.. bbs trying to go agains the wind will problably reach 15knots tops.. may be 10.. etc etc.. But I guess there would be too much mechanics to consider for the window cleaning community..

@MrConway please can we have a FIXED radar discussion thread??? This is getting out of hand!

INFIDEL!!!! I've just bought her last night.. and played 9 battles in total!!! NO NERF!! NOO!! She has been hit by the nerf hammer recently! Don't touch her.. Pleeeeaaassseeee!!!

Yeah.. I can't remember the times that a cruiser with Torps rushed me fast.. Even intelligent tirpitz captains will rush to torp you.. IMO, they gave a great buff to MOSKVA which killed the flexibility of the ship even more.. Rightnow everyone and their grandmother just sits next to an island looking through to a cap.. and fire 6 HE shells in every 10 seconds.. I prefer hindi much much more.. because she is way more versatile!

I can't say I am a good Moskva captain, but in general, I try to stay at distance for a while, find a good spot behind an island to stick my nose out angled.. If that is the main attack front for the enemy.. I stay there or change a little positions quite a long time in the battle. If not, according to the battle progression I will go out and start to push... from the flank or from the back of the enemy. My criteria is, If I am targeted by more than 2 ships.. I am in a wrong position in Moskva..

If you ask me, the questionable one is zao, Hindi is not.. hindi will push you.. and will torp you with that great arcs.. there is nothing you can do to that... and with german HE....

My thougts.. The moskva didn't need the armor buff, but actually needed a little bit concealment and a little bit agility buff.. But without nerfing the guns, a more stealth and agile moskva would be OP.. then they decide to buff to armor to reduce the punishment it gets.. The thing is, If you start bow tanking more than 1 ships.. you are commited.. unless you find an island to get behind.. If you are out in the open.. the only thing you can do is sail backwards and bow tank.. and wait for them to rush on you and torp... You generally lose 1v1 bow tanking fest against a desmo or a hindi.. and a zao If the captain is good..

lets make it better.. 11 DDs per side, + 1 mino

why do you need your account to get banned to stop playing this game? Can't you stop with your own will?

I went both Range on them, (legendary will be picked after I get it for moskva) because If you ask me.. at least the half of the battle, you need to stay away for the bulk of the enemy ships.. I don't know may be because of 11.7km radar, a RU cruiser detected, there will be at least 7 ships targeting you! On the other hand, don't hate the Donskoi! She is awesome.. really.. guns are.. If you ask me.. better than moskva on long range.. Moskva is generally a better ship.. a much much better ship.. an actual beast.. but for the last piece of info.. here are my donskoi, and Moskva stats! I foreplay with donskoi.. but suck real hard.. like my life depends on it hard.. with moskva!

The fact that the Harugumo is actually bigger than Khaba! and except Khaba, all the tier 10 DDs can outspot it and It is so sluggish that it actually needs the propulsion module to move inside its smoke screen and another fact that It has BIGGER TURNING CIRCLE THEN CONC! ( A freckking tier 10 BB) says too much!

Ahoy captains, I've written in somewhereelse but that is too far away at the back.. 2 Questions here, As you may or may not know, Moskva's easily penetrated bow and stern armor belt will be buffed from 25 to 50mm with tomorrows update, what do you think this buff will change? will it change the playstyle of the ship? will make it more tanky? and for the love of god! I am having the same problem again. I can't make moskva work IMO, 62K average damage after 42 battles. I don't like it.. What should I do.. need tips.. :) I figured the way to stay alive for longer durations. I am figuring out how not to give away broadside. but cannot become useful for the team 6 out of 10 matches. May be I am staying too far away.. but I am afraid to go near :) My citadel starts crying!

First of all stop roasting people with 1 or 2 battle numbers.. and solely on individual ships.. You need to go deep down people.. much more deeper!!! for example.. Dear MrWastee!!!.. you really don't know how to US BB right?.. why insist? (when they are not P2W anyway!) you filthy wallet warrior!! Don't go gentle on me!! PS: My moskva has been used!

Selam dostum! burası ingilizce forum. Ben bu mesajını tercüme ediyorum. Bundan sonra ingilizce devam edersen veya türkçe foruma yazarsan daha sağlıklı olur! The post is in turkish, I've notified that this is turkish forum, and here is the translation for his post, UPDATE: as of now I've just learned that like spanish forum, WG decided to close turkish forum too... the forum is there.. but all closed for entries! GG WG, I am sure you saved a lot of money by closing sub language forums and I am sure it was impossible for you to find people inside from those forums to moderate those forums free.. GG WG.. GG.. QUOTE: I have 700K Fexp, I don't give money to the game. I can have 2 tier 9 Fexp ship with this. But none of the current fexp ships have my interest. How about you bring some mystical fxp ships like missouri which can be more fun to play with. For example, a similar ship to Neptune and the gimmick can be HE shells for it.. QUOTE:

I got an idea out of my Arse about radar! Lets make only tier 9 and above cruisers have radar, lets make radar duration 10 mins.. radar = auto aquisition range goes to 6 or 7 kms for radar ships, put the radar consumable in place of the heal... I can live with that as a DD captain.. Sure I stopped playing my yugumo and gadjah mada for the last month.. not because I can't deal with radar.. but heavy radar games are actually self harm inducing boring. If I wanted 10mins completely boring gameplay / 5 mins without complete action on top of that / with 3 mins gunblazing action... I would play BBs..

so, you bought the account in between ranked seasons?? PS: joking you know that right! WoWS Stats & Numbers - EU - Excavatus - Player info and stats - World of Warships statistics (my terrible moskva stats has been used!)

I personally think that WG will make CV similar to ARTY from WOT! Look from top down whenever you want, and just select a squadron, click onto some ship.. and go back to sailing mode.. your planes go.. find the target, attack automatically and come back... Thats it.. then there will be completely new discussions about oneshots :) may be they put some better skills for captains.. like automated strike squads taking safer routes... or planes upgraded to thougher ones.. likewise.. But the bottom point, I think the CV gameplay will be just point and click...

People!! Don't forget the rulez!!! ROAST The last poster before you WITH a screenshot... then wait for your demise from the next one!!! Come on!!!

115K average damage with 43% WR?? how the hell you do that? ok.. mine won't be to hard to roast!! http://www.wowstats.org/stats/eu/excavatus/

he is right you know, If you want to be better, you need to start it accepting that you need to know better. Find me ingame If you want.. We can div up with high tier cruisers.. I am not saying I am very good in them.. but I generally do ok or above ok in them.. I know what to do in them, but not always can execute that knowledge well :)
