Exactly. As was pointed out, as a cosmetic element you can turn it off, so if the other factors and plusses of having a permanent camo weigh in the decision and you have plenty of steel you have the option. I tested it, and as I'm a little conscious of how my ships look for others as well, I decided against getting one for the Yamato even though there aren't really perfect permacamo options for her otherwise either. I have the HSF camo, but I am still tempted to go in 'naked' nontheless.

Christmas camos? Oh they will see them..

If there is, it is well hidden. The only radar related timer I've found is this. It works somewhat the opposite way though.

@Sir_Sinksalot Use the preview option before committing yourself to the purchase to make sure you like the look of that camo on the ship you were thinking of buying it for. I did exactly this, and saved myself 10k Steel. I'm one happy customer.

I take it OP's been reading the forum in the past few days. I was actually planning to 'revisit' the FDG to see what kind of an experience FDG offers these days.

Yet one more year of complete (gambling) lunacy. I intend to spend with utmost discretion.

Well, we should be happy this is at least somewhat historically correct.

I am more worried that someone is buying them.

'Waves' sounds very appropriate. I win some, I lose some, but that's for Coop.. randoms are different. Can't confirm, no camo no signals seems to have no boosting effect, not even with no captain or zero skill captain.

Not a prograt, but I think the answer is yes, it is possible.

I think @Johnny_Moneto is referring to the 'Savage Battles' in those half sunken ruins of New York City that you played in order to farm tokens for Benham. And.. a little bit of variety, too.

I'd say it depends on what you plan to do in PvP. The problem here is, that gameplay is so different compared to coop or ops (which is one of the reason why I almost entirely only play cruisers in those modes... except for a few select ones). In case you want to ask me, what the few select ones are, for me they are the tankiest, heaviest ones, or alternatively, the ones that are able to engage at extreme ranges. For both sets, flat firing arcs are an absolute necessity. If you aren't an open water player like me, you may want the exact opposite... (Historically, I also went for AA cruisers, but those are now anachronistic thanks to WG wrecking the meta.)

Some of the low tier ships have no AA at all. The fault is WG's for not implementing a tier (or applicable) system that would not allow ships of clearly differing eras to join 'front line service' in the same battles with much newer and better equipped fighting vessels. This is not a CV or radar related issue only, it's about poor game design.

Smolensk?

Interesting, because I remember it being bloody awful. Maybe I need to re-evaluate its performance...

What goes around comes around. Signed "Mysterious un petit peu".

I can see how suggesting a buff for Petro can only end well.

The PotatoAlert adds a new layer to the problem. If there should be a way to spot high WR players/unicums 'too early', in a sense, it should be based on badges/flags etc. which are optional and up to each player if they wish to display them. For gameplay purposes, awareness of ship capabilities (a skill) should be the relevant information to go by. However... as I mentioned earlier (or was at least indirectly implying), DD's should not be the main focus of the CV's.

Incoming or outgoing?

The two of you are too good for your own good.

I expect the skill matching to work equally well as in the case of the Killer Bunny vs The Knights.

I'm somewhat stingy when giving out compliments, don't want to run out and have none left when they really are due. Frequently, though, what happens is I have not used any till the last battle of day in which case I may be quite liberally generous when handing them out.

TBH, detonations are so rare in the game, there's no real reason to spend anything on the detonation flags. Still.. would be nice to get them for free, because there are situations where you may want to have them, such as competitive modes.
