If I remember corectly the Duke only has just over 14km range, not brilliant compared with the over 15km range that the Molotov has. But the Duke turns faster and with speed flags can get to 40 knots.

I have both boats and they play similarly in that they both need to be played very carefully, a stray AP round will take half your health no problem. Best to kite with the Molotov and use the speed of the Duca to out manoeuvre shells as they fly in. Both boats are great though in my opinion. I always have fun in either of them

Done it myself quite a few times actually, but my mistake is trying a boat out in COOP then kitting it out with flags, consumables and then forgetting that I haven't changed the battle mode and hitting battle, then frantically spamming exit not to waste the flags and premium consumables I'd like the 3 seconds but would prefer 5 for dullards like myself

No, bad idea, it's an arcade game with little or no similarities to real life situations

Count me out of that one Captain the thread is entertaining though, in a car crash kind of way

Well knock me down with a wet kipper! A post which makes a pleasant change to the recent 'WoWS is crap/rigged/offensive/I'm off' threads that have been the norm. First of all @Zymeth welcome to the forums Captain I'm not as eloquent as some of these forumites, nor as skilled so I'll let them advise you, but for my 2d worth I'd say try everything before writing it off..... although in my case I wrote off CV play before trying it . Plus grinding one line is to me both a bore and a chore, I like to play a few different boats in a game session otherwise ZZZZzzzzzzz. One last bit of advice, 'Right hand down a bit'

Like that's just your opinion man........but it tied the room together

If I understood the posts earlier, arriving late into a game through no fault of your own (client crash) as long as you gain enough xp to prove you are not AFK the whole game (or nautical miles sailed, I don't know but must be some way to track it) you aren't penalised.

Sorry but I'm not a fan of these camos one little bit, in fact when I see them in game they make no sense to me. I signed up for Warships not SciFi. Not wanting to be a party pooper or anything and I fully realise some people will love them, want them, play them. I only hope I get a filter option or there is one already and dumbass me hasn't noticed if you can stop that type of camo. I don't mind a lot of them, I got the Normandie Cruiser camo yesterday, same as my Bismarks camos. It's just these awful camos with big birds, skulls, etc on them, I mean c'mon.

Agreed Captain, anything to enhance the game. Lower tiers are where you should be learning not rushing through as fast as you can, I'm still learning myself which is probably why I don't have any T10 boats They do need encouraging to play well, I know I certainly didand didn't really get any. But then I watched a lot of vids on how to know the game and learned the basics from them. As I said anything to help or motivate people to try and play the game successfully is fine by me. Plus one El2aZeR post but we can only hope.

Able Seaman Norman congratulates you

If I see a Captain being toxic/negative/demeaning in the forum I have a good idea that he/she is one of those players who do the same on ingame chat. It's been proven right several times.

No it isn't rigged although it sometimes feels like it is.....but it isn't and many people on here have explained the reason why it isn't rather eloquently.

Oh I totally agree with all of your points Captain and well made sir. But... in recent games (admittedly in CO-OP) I'm frequently placed at the back and it's ruddy hard trying to get to the action in the first place, I'm not asking for much but another knot or two, it would at least make the abysmal accuracy and the chronically bad secondary range more effective. I use the word accuracy extremely loosely as that boat couldn't hit the proverbial barn door

Oooh forgot about Katori, damn right that ship need a few knots more. Yes I'd like a range buff for the secondaries, if only to keep them pesky Russians at bay, looking at you @Deckeru_Maiku

Mikasa speed increase?

No you certainly are not

Cruisers are my bread and butter, my go to ships for having fun in. Be nice if they had heal for the lower tiers but they do exactly what is written on the box if you play them correctly. I do believe they are one of the hardest classes to master apart from CV (and to be fair I have no knowledge of CV play but it looks hard ).

Thank goodness there is a switch to turn this madness off Spaceships in a WW1/WW2 naval battle? Why? Just why? For April Fools Day fine..............not every ruddy day after. You can probably tell I'm not going to spend money on a nonsensical idea.

Thankyou Captain

Totally agree with you OP. Nothing worse than seeing your CV top him/herself and knowing you now have no air cover. I call it selfish because that's exactly what it is!

Meh bad cropping, apologies
