    BB's - Something needs to be done before more are released.

    Fortunately, this long queue of BBs has not meant more than the standard 10 BBs per game, so I could play my cruisers like normally. Unfortunately, the number of potatoes in their tier 6-7-8 Battleships has increased exponentially.

    Hunt the Bismarck Badges

    Hmmmm, I'm getting only one signal flag per container. Why is that?
  3. Congratulations. Fools like you is what make the prices of the premium shop what they are.
  4. I've had a few games in cyclones this afternoon, and noticed that planes inside my rendering distance were not visible. I could not click on them to buff my AA, and as fas as I could notice, my AAA stayed silent (but since I couldn't see the exact distance, planes may have been out of my AAA range). No mods used other that a few skin textures for ships.

    Nurnberg

    Always felt it was the weakest of all tier 6 cruisers. Now there's another candidate (the French Galissonniere), but it's hard to think it will be worse then the German cruiser.

    Baltiless - Des Moines. Your advice please

    I used to be a guy that supported DDs in the lower tiers (up to 7)... right until the day the BBs started popping up in the MM like mushrooms. That coincided with my arrival at tier 8 with Mogami, and I learned the hard way that it was not possible anymore. At lower tiers there might be a chance since BBs are less accurate, but in 8-9-10... no way. Add the current bunch of absolutely awful players, and games like this are very likely:

    HMS Hood available on the 19th May

    Message received. Wallet tightly closed... again.

    Baltiless - Des Moines. Your advice please

    I'm still in a state of shock for how BAD this ships is. I'd rather go into a tier 10 battle with NO than this turd. There is no way you can dodge a single shell with this ship. It moves so lazy even with the second hull and rudder update that I'd take it for an Aprils Fool joke if I wasn't being citadeled every time a BB shoots at me. What a piece of crap.

    mahan spotting akatsuki ?

    First mistake. Are you sure it was the Mahan? No other DDs in that game? No Kageros, Shiratsuyus, or Hatsuharus, or Kamikazes/Fujins/Mutsukis? A Benson would also spot you before you can see him. But were you detected visually, by plane or by radar/sonar? Still don't know the different icons? Are you sure you had them all in sight?
  10. Every time I'm tempted of buying something to WG I remember all the things they've done to this very promising game in the last two years and happily keep my wallet closed.
  11. WoT Jingles videos used to be funny and very original when I was playing that game (2-3 years ago). His comments were really appropriate and at the same time you had big laughs. And then his laughter... Not anymore. What a booooring video.

    Otranto mission

    WG is not to blame for your harbour management. If you don't have the right ships, tough luck. If you don't want to invest enough time to try to get it done is up to you, but this is the easiest mission they've released in months.

    Otranto mission

    Tier 6 is the minimum required. I did it in my 3rd game with Shiratsuyu: 8 torpedo hits and some HE shells for 6 kills got me 1800+ XP.

    Otranto mission

    Enjoy it while it lasts. When they see the number of players that finish the mission they will probably come back to the Super-unicum requirements to get the final reward.

    Lost Minekaze camtain skills !

    Japanese DD line was changed, and Minekaze was moved to the new branch. Your captain is probably in the ship that took its place in the "old" line, the Mutsuki (you should have both).

    Hypothetical Norwegian Premium DD

    This ship falls into the category of Japanese Tomozurus, Italian Spicas, or French Melpomenes and similar ships. Even the RN had one class of these, the Kingfishers, even though those were more escort-oriented rather than torpedo boats. I would put them in tier 2, but they look too modern (1930s) compared to the usual ships at those tiers.

    200% Xp didn't apply

    It's a defeat. You NEED to win the battle for the multiplier to work.

    What's wrong with Mutsuki?

    I've only played a few games with the new Mutsuki, but couldn't find anything wrong with it. As I expected, it performs better for me now that it's a tier 5, at similar levels of old Minekaze.

    Baltimore...

    The OP posted this at 9:29 last night. Not everybody is 24/7 in the forums.
  20. I stopped buying stuff from WG in November last year. No more ships, no more gold (never bought premium time). Right now I'm taking an indefinite break. Too many issues with the current state of the game.

    The Marblehead (..for REAL SAILORS only!)

    I saw it perfectly, I said "like 30%", which means "about 30%". 33% is "about 30%". Probably the drunk person was you getting a 3% hit ratio in a game (which in my book is beyond potato).
  22. That video was showing Cleveland at the end of CBT. The change had happened earlier. Cleveland's shells archs were indeed changed.

    The Marblehead (..for REAL SAILORS only!)

    OK... Then how is it that your overall hit rate with that same ship is like 30%?

    IJN Destroyers opinions

    Been playing all weekend with Japanese DDs trying to get that 5th stage of the weekly mission (tiers 7 and 8). I have no words to describe the impotence I feel every time I see a perfectly launched spread being dodged by the most stupid of the players who are straight sailing until the moment the torps are spotted, and yet can avoid them all. That is, when the torpedoes reach the target area unspotted, which must have happened about 10% of the times I tried. Playing Japanese DDs right now is pure FRUSTRATION.
  25. They've lost their mind. Can't find any other logical explanation for this.
