Still too early to make comparisons. Wait for 2 weeks and make the comparison with the last 2 weeks before patch. I bet that difference will still be bigger.

The cruisers I've deleted this evening with my New Mexico disagree.

I suspect this is another placebo like the report system.

Manual fire control for AA (4 captain points) is rubbish. Set up my New Mexico (tier 6 BB) with BFT+AFT+Manual AA and didn't notice any improvement. Played a couple of games and got a limited amount of planes shot down, nothing spectacular, but in the last game I was alone and it couldn't shot down a single plane from a Bogue squadron (tier 5) before they dropped torpedoes, and they stayed flying around me for quite a long time because I was turning with them. Planes of a tier lower carrier! They should be dropping like flies! 4 points thrown into the bin. Don't make the same mistake I did.

How can a destroyer torpedo himself? A CV player has this possibility, but a DD? He should be faster than his own torpedoes.

It was very briefly sold in the game tech tree for doubloons, if I remember correctly. Maybe it was 0.5.2.1 or 0.5.2.2.

This is basically the way WG do these things: we change (nerf or buff) this from white to black, and let's see what happens. No greys, no slight changes, no intensive tests. I've seen it in WoT and they do the same in WoWs.

Probably because most powerful French DDs main gun calibre is 138mm. There was a Yugoslavian destroyer (later used by Italy) with 140mm guns, but I don't think it will ever be in WoWs. But some German DDs will also suffer from this.

Oh, were you able to find the ships?

That's stupid. If you don't like how the boss is doing things just leave and create another team of your own.

WG Staff don't play their own game. Confirmed.

Cleveland citadel is not what it used to. Now tier 5 BBs can citadel you without problems. More than once in a salvo. Not rare at all. I've been on both ends.

They will most likely keep the late hull for a Premium Prinz Eugen. If you want your cruiser to look cool, pay for it.

Not having had access to the test, I've just watched the video and was astonished by the "Manual secondaries" skill. This skill from tier 1 to 6 gives a bonus of 15% to secondaries accuracy. So far so good. But the tiers 7 to 10 get a 60% bonus? I can understand a better bonus as the tiers get higher, but this is stupid. A tier 6 battleship will get obliterated when getting close to a tier 7 Battleship. As if Nagato secondary guns were not strong enough. Something logical would be 15% across all tiers, or a slight increase for the higher tiers (20-25% instead of 15) But 60%... Absolutely moronic.

Yes, Kumas have 1 for breakfast every day, and Wyoming eat a full division at dinner time.

I'd still grind the first tiers if you really like the style. Umikaze is a great tier 2 (ideal for sealclubbing) and Isokaze is the terror of tier 4 Battleships.

Thank you WarGaming!

When all ships fire at a target maximising their rate of fire is "focusing". When some of the ships hold fire waiting for that last salvo that will secure them the kill (allowing their allies to take more damage than needed) is "kill stealing", and happens all the time, but specially when these missions are active.

Even I saw this coming, and it could have been prevented by one announcement in the website warning that it may take a while until all ships are credited. Short sightness in WG is worrying.

He just sacrificed itself for the Emperor. Banzai!

It's over

Tier 2 ships only meet tier 3 battles I think, so yes, you'll never see a tier 2 ship unless it's in a fail division.

it's been around 200K in the last 24h. 114K left. At the same time, less and less players have pearls left to collect, so there is still some chance that it can make it to the reset. If this happens, I can see an unusual amount of players waiting till early Monday morning hours.

Yeah, sure... If he hadn't been that aggressive and stayed close to their base (as you seem to suggest) the only thing he would have accomplished is being surrounded by even more enemies and lose the game the same, probably earlier. Please, stop that WoT crap. It's useless in WoWs.

I'll tell you a reason: NA had originally only 4M pearls to collect, while Europe has always been 10M. And of course, that the website said 24th, not 14th. If it was a typo they've had like a month to correct it. Anyway, Monday 15th is the last day no matter what.
