Jesus.... you just made be go back in time 35 years... I also used to play with these TENTE models in the late 70's-early 80s, and ships were my favourites. Unfortunately they didn't survive my mother, I'm afraid. When I left my parents house, everything mysteriously disappeared.

Hmmm, let me think... NO!!!!

Number 3 is driving me mad. The rest are already found. EDIT:OK, found it . 3 hours that I didn't play WoWs.

Damn it, I had a good game yesterday in my Cleveland (arsonist medal), but didn't know of this and didn't make any screenshots.

The only changes after the release of the Open Beta have been the citadel nerf and the HE damage nerf (this one is general, not Cleveland specific). I averaged about 50k damage before these two nerfs (when I did my grind), and now that I'm using it again for the ARP ships missions it's gone down to 46k (43k in the last 3 weeks).

Thank you sir

I already knew that, but it doesn't explain what kind of missions are. I hoped someone could give us a hint based on the Asian experience. It's not the same "Get 4 torpedo hits in 1 battle" than "Shoot down 300 planes". Isn't Fujin basically the same ship? There is your bundle .

It's also much more vulnerable to AP than it was before. It used to be almost impossible to citadel a Cleveland. Now it's quite common for battleships (even lower tier ones) and 203mm gunned cruisers to get citadel hits on a Cleveland if it's caught in a good angle. A downgrade was clearly needed for this ship to be at tier 6. But ,as usual with WG, they overnerfed it.

I know that to get the ship you had to earn a number of pearls, but can somebody explain how did you earn the pearls? Is it through missions, like the daily ones?

How many of you signed up for this game thinking "I wanna play the Mikhail Kutuzov"?

The tier 6 of choice for the ARP missions is Cleveland. It's tailor-made for this missions. I hadn't used it much since I finished the grind, and have noticed that I'm not able to reach the levels of damage that I did before (still good levels though), but it's about 6-8 guaranteed fires per game. It's also a decent DD chaser and superb at shooting down planes, so you can use it to both missions at a time. I'm also using Aoba, since I had the Demolition expert skill for its captain.

Got mine tonight. Does anybody know of a mod to change it to look like a normal Kongo? Would also be great if I could get rid of the hysterical Japanese teen voices.

So a human player, shooting at angled bots, showing all his broadside to a BB... You need to watch many Youtube videos to learn the basics of this game.

During the weekends I wouldn't have enough with 300 reports if I reported every bot or bad player I see.

March-April is Closed Beta Test time. Cleveland has been heavily changed (for worse) since then, so those videos are of little use. Search for something more recent.

You will need to tinker with file camouflages.xml (be sure to make a backup of that file), locate the Fujin camouflage part and From a Reddit post I still haven't tried myself to block a camouflage, so not sure if it works.

Don't be cheap and buy the ship some modules. Don't be a noob and play some more battleship games before saying Arkansas is good or bad. Don't be ungrateful and thank WG for a free premium ship.

My personal best is 12 losses in a row, in 2 consecutive sessions. Beat that.

I guess it depends on the torps the British DDs get. If they're potent weapons, the JKN classes are much stronger due to having more than double the torpedo tubes of a Tribal (taking for granted that nobody would trade 1 bank of torpedoes for a 4in AA gun in a J class). If guns are their main way of dealing damage, the Tribals will be better, as they have 2 more guns and some more health points (again, expecting nobody to drop one of Tribal's 4.7in turret for a 4in AA).

The different stages have credits as rewards: 150k, 300k and 500k. When you finish last stage you get the outstanding amount of 5 (five) Zulu flags (which in the early hours of the first day were 25. Somebody must have thought it was too much expense in cloth for WG and changed it).

Started at rank 17, played one battle... which will be my last. Too much frustration, and too many players who don't know the minimum basics to play this game in tier 1 ships, let alone in tier 6. Not going to bother this time.

Not to me, but to Tanz's Shipyard. I only did one try at a camouflage during Closed Beta and it was not very successful. Seriously, if you want your WoWs look so much better, check his and other amazing threads in the mods section of both EU and NA forums.

One thing that is pissing me off big time is that WG changes the rewards of the missions. Happy New Year mission had a better reward in the beginning, and they then downgraded it. This morning the mission of Fish in the Water was 25 or 50 (cant remember very well) Zulu flags (+ the credits of the different stages). Now that I just finished the mission it's been changed to just 5 flags. Is it so difficult to make things right from the beginning. I wouldn't have wasted a single minute in this for 5 paltry flags.

This kind of missions are always detrimental to the quality of the game. Firstly, because a lot of people who stopped playing come back just to get that reward, and many times these are really bad players. Second, because the requirements make decent players forget about the basic tactics to win a game (players leaving cap circle to try sink enemies or shoot down planes, usually with 0 effect). Seriously, in you're not interested in the rewards, the best you can do is stop playing while the mission/event/challenge is active.

That's WG way of screwing up the most simple things. That's the way it should have been done by a serious company:
