I know, it is one of the new kind, a nerfium not a true premium ship. So, yes, 'buyer beware' in a sense. Still, it woulnd't be in WG's interest to make a habit of needlessly nerfing these ships post release, because it would hurt their overall prospects for future sales. Or... at least I'm hoping they are smart enough to see it that way... In some ways the nerfiums maybe healthier from the point of view of gameplay and meta, if this is done right.

Rigged! You have to answer the 2nd question.

Okay, so now we just wait for someone to come and collect all the toys and put them back in the crate.

Does the turret configuration matter much?

I was referring to the control problem there. I plan to buy the ship, though, so I expect to create gameplay problems for myself independent of that.

I'd be very cautious using ship XP boosters (other than captain XP or Free XP) on Premium ships, of TBH on any ship that can't make use of the XP for grinding. All XP you gather on any ships you aren't trying to grind will only benefit you if you later choose to spend money on Free XP conversion.

It is trash, I agree. Uncomfortably enough, it reminds me of those report cards with red (good) and black (bad) stars we had placed on the side wall of our class room in pre-school. It's mostly for some psychological effect, it's nice to get complements, not so nice when you get reported and get pretty much stuck at low or zero karma. Fortunately, perhaps, the karma system is completely pointless. Why do we even have it in the first place? Does anyone know? As an adult (maybe) I don't mind swearing myself, but those personal toxic attacks and insults are something completely different.

Still, it seems to me BoW reported a problem with the ship which I think is a fairly useful bit of information unless it somehow turns out to be wrong information (which should then be set straight, if that is the case). So, where do we now stand when it comes to the Tone?

Atago is fairly rarely seen in battles, though.

It is a real ship - check! It is a Japanese ship - check! What else can I think of....

Quite so, the forum should be a friendly, open platform where everyone should feel comfortable with posting. A little good humoured teasing now and then, on the other hand, is a completely different kettle of fish, in a manner of speaking.

What has changed, apparently, is that previously untrained captains had 50% of the effect of their picked skills, whereas now the skills count for naught unless the captain is trained for the (silver) ship in question. Unsure how much of a difference that makes in practice, though.

So... should we now try to max credit boosting or what?

Hope the devs won't get any ideas...

Googled for this, seems it's about 1000 to 1200 ft or about 305 to 370 meters long (for the Missouri).

Psst... how long is the anchor chain?

Nyet.

Uhm... for one thing, aren't those two ships premium ships, and in that case you cannot train any captains for those ships per se (nor do you need to).

Giving our beloved mods a heart attack are we?

Just so that nobody misses one point here. Anything that can be purchased in the game that gives you improved stats in any way by using either cash or any convertible in game currency falls in the P2W territory.

Which reminds me, how come we have the Enterprise in the game but no James T. Kirk!

On YT (which I detest) Jingles has gone by the rank of Admiral (regardless of RL). The problem gamewise is, of course, that regular captains get promoted, while apparently special commanders don't.

Not if you play on my enemy team...
