I know! This means Tomahawk cruise missiles and wire guided electric torpedoes that will blow Soviet ships out of water! ... or perhaps.. quite possibly... not....

It would get even more interesting, if the same principle of 'time compression' that you get with fires would be fully applied to submarine batteries and CV planes...

I was actually hoping Brezhnev would be reserved for the (inevitably) upcoming Super Carriers....

Well, this might be an opportune moment to bring up 'Era' based tech trees and MM, complemented by a whole new concept of 'Timelines', perhaps?

Quite frankly, I'd prefer asbestos.

Someone here said the Magic Word. 'Superbattleships'!!!!!!

To add to the confusion, some of us are nonetheless trying their best to play a naval game.... Meanwhile...

But that doesn't tell us what your BB is doing. JK It is supposed to be a team game, but most teams rather fall apart than work together. I'm not good enough to tell which way it's going to go, until usually when it's too late (for me, anyway). I think yesterday I was in my Rich tanking and eating torps from two to three different directions fired by, for the most part, completely unspotted enemy DD's that kept a) spotting us and b) spamming torps. Only after my team mates finally started to do something about them, we were able to turn the tide and eventually force a win.

Your analysis is uncomfortably close to truth...

Keep your DD's safe + keeping enemy DD's spotted (and preferably promptly sunk) will take you halfway to winning the battle.

Hmm... I'd be more worried about the cruisers not doing anything TBH.

I get a lot of those... The smart thing really is to quit the session if you get defeat after another.

Play something else, come back later or the next day.

So... you could even argue that the KM ships in the game are a little bit Swedish...?

Balance is a gimmick. Why can't we have a game that is balanced without gimmicks. Well.. I can sort of guess, though, it's probably something to do with this being a multiplayer with **** poor team coordination....

Clean reinstall, remember. Should you have anything in Documents, Library, or Preferences, I think those need to be wiped as well.

Yes! The Oddly Name Port with Fuji-San in the background and everlasting Hanami! I also like St. Petersburg, Kronstadt, and Kure to name a few. Overall, I prefer the sort of locations which more or less look like real naval bases. But... Fjords are in Norway... not in Sweden...

I've heard it mentioned in connection with some games that some overlays are interpreted as illegal mods.

Because the game mechanics are complete bollocks... damn, I mean the game is a r c a d e ... b****r, no I mean it's still bollocks. Specifically, your BB secondaries are not doing their job which is the reason behind this problem (or feature... for those who think it's perfectly all right...). Apart from the torpedo side of the equation, a BB should have every advantage in the book against a more lightly armoured and armed surface vessel, including superior spotting and gun direction prior to the advent of radar.

Thought that was part and parcel of life at sea, going around and seeing all manner of ports.

Yeah.. though it is from Xmas time so you can still hear jingles (small 'j', not actually Jingles) at times. Obviously a very cool port to have!

It looks suspiciously familiar.... But I welcome more Dutch flags, the NL is one of those countries where I have distant cousins. Even if, sadly, George Gaines is not one of them.

They could make it harder to do damage, yes, across the board. I'd be fine with that, but I bet we'd get a very vocal response from a lot of other people.
