Would you say it's good enough it makes the enemy DD's run away in terror? That is to say, before they start looking at the player stats, this is crucial, of course.

Sounds technical, so unless somebody else has better suggestions, you could contact support with a WGcheck file. Alternatively, you might take a look at your disk health. Those FPS drops can be caused by the game servers (which is the case sometimes), but also by anything that is wrong on whatever route your connection takes (which happens more often). I get similar FPS drops occasionally, sudden drops that is, that typically go away and the game resumes the normal 'fluctuation pattern' around whatever it is, whether 36 or 176 ms, depending on which server I play on.

You'll be back...

BTW, is that lovely Dasha I'm seeing in the faded out background?

Based on my very small sample, it's random. Actually, I could even say my freebies had better drop rates than the doubloon crates.

Benham is no match to to a T9 Japanese DD in the hands of someone like me who knows how to play

Yes and no. We've got reports showing varying results, so buyer beware (as always).

It's best indeed not to hope for any particular ships (or any ships). I recommend either grabbing just the freebies or spending very moderately. I bough a few for doubloons (as I rather these stays spend on those than anything else) and only spent actual cash on the Save the Children charity bundles.

Cool.. .. oh, I suffer from bad memory. In between when Narai comes up, I'll manage to forget any feelings of guilt quite splendidly.

Got 1 x small, 1 x Big, 13 x MEGA Out of those 15 boxes, I got some signal flags and ugly camos (predictably enuff), someone laughing in the background as I was opening them.... then I also got something called M. Immelmann (don't really play CV's...), and a Filanderer (which was nice), and Weimar (possible for.. Narai.. maybe?), and a bagful of coal, too. No premium time, nor doubloons. As most of these were free can't complain, was very conservative with my spending getting only 1 big one and 8 mega boxes for doubloons.

The sock's not even hung yet...

Likewise. Sorry I didn't spot you earlier, I got into battle slightly late and was pretty much preoccupied from then on by your Benham and by my own team mates.

Pretty strict hair regulations.

A .. ghost ship?

About one second before the battle ended, I spotted @Isoruku_Yamamoto sinking in his non-existant Soviet BB.

Hmm.. could be, my memory is a little vague on the specifics. However, how much can you expect to get that type of signals for free these days? IIRC, back then Papa Papa was the signal you wanted to get free XP. I also remember one particular camo having a very good free xp bonus, but I don't remember if that was available in 2016 to 2018 of if it was later.

The problem there is with dispersion compounded by the flight time. Remember the incoming fire alert? The longer we give them time to react, the easier it will be for them to dodge the incoming salvo. Also, I'm not exactly sure if ballistic arc shell game mechanism is as favorable under most conditions as the flatter trajectories you get closer up.

Well, I'm not that keen on expecting it.

How, exactly?

No, it will get touched as well.

I'm guessing from your previous posts you want to play the same way as I do. The problem for us is, there are players who actively use the map features (aka rocks) to their advantage to mask their tactical moves. Those of us who do not use that play style, keep running into constant problems with being focused, torped, HE spammed, or outright bombed out of the water.

In case you haven't picked it up yet, most of us here are gifted with a range of psychic powers.

... there's also no room for a bathroom (head) there. The Soviets apparently have budgets which force them to leave out anything non-essential. Like they can do their business over the railing more cheaply when it comes to bathroom facilities, and perhaps they were let to understand there'd be no ammo either (due to budget cuts) and thus no need for a fire control system. Or perhaps there just wasn't enough room for it... no, I don't mean on the ship, but on the actual napkin they used at the Lesta Cafeteria.

Then again, Missouri was not directly nerfed performancewise, merely powercrept to oblivion. Also, the gimmicky Missouri credit mission goes some way of mediating the problem for those who originally splashed the free XP on the ship. In some ways I'm happy the Missouri (as the legendary ship, not as the credit printer of all time) is now available for the 'crybabies' who missed it the first time around. If what I'm reading behind the lines is that you are implying the Black will soon also be available in a Premium Shop near you, I tend to agree finding that a very distinct possibility. I'm also thinking that those players who either got the original Black as a ranked reward or grinded for the steel needed to get it got shafted here. In this regard, it's definitely a more clear cut difference to the case with the Missouri (even though practically every old time owner would rather have the original baked in credit multiplier and a separate version of the Missouri for the new players).

Well... isn't this like water polo with ships?
