Sometimes the islands fire torps at you. Those can sink you. Better still watch out for them rocks!

You do?

Well we still don't have a Navy Day.. but I didn't know about the Simon Bolivar Day. Cheers! Viva la Revolución!!!

It will keep the Western Civilization (such as it is) safe from Huns and Vandals for the next 500 years at least. Ranked is always a little strange. I dont' have much experience with the 'new' Kiev, the old one was the ship that I got my first ever Kraken with.

I must have been mistaken, comrade.

The oddest thing about captain training is that I sometimes do better with a 0 pt captain onboard. Could be some ships just work better than others, regardless of captain skills....

Had only a few battles so far, DD's don't seem that common at least not around rank 16...

Assuming he'd been far enough, also assuming that he intended to stay on ramming course. Normally I take a bit of a look between salvos, but that situation was not 'normal'. When I am that low on HP that literally the next salvo can sink me on the spot I am more focused on where I might cause the most damage. In this instance it happened to be a friendly cruiser I got sunk...

A veritable mine field, indeed.

Guess it depends on what you got more to spare. Mind you, both can be winning strategies as there are multiple other factors in play.

You Westerners have such big apartments!

As I am when I am engaging the enemy. The minimap is of no use in that situation. I did know there was a cruiser dangerously close to me, what I did not expect is it to go low on HP and stay that close to me. In that situation, for instance, the enemy was ahead of me, the cruiser behind me. You would expect to the cruiser to be better able to see me between himself and the enemy than the other way round. Also, I had engines on the reverse, there was realistically nothing I could have done to avoid the collision even if I had spotted the cruiser in time.

I can understand both point of views, no pun intended. Yes, it is possibly to use free look but in reality, can you afford to that if you are handling a sticky situation being very low on HP and trying to max out what you can do with the little time you have left. Again, it is easier for the smaller vessel to avoid the collision.

Not necessarily, I was once in a BB and trying to back out while tanking, when I apparently got hit (or hit myself) a low HP cruiser that got way too close to me to begin with. Since I don't have a rear view mirror, can't actually have done anything to avoid it. Unless getting into that mess to begin with was that 'something wrong' I did, but that is unrelated to the collision and getting pink.

TBH, this nic is sometimes a little awkward when people mistake me for a Japanese. (Some mistake me for a Turk.) Not sure what I would pick instead though, as I kinda like the idea of it being 'Japanesish'... and I bet many of the good choices are indeed taken, like 'Honeybumpkin'.

May I please have the envelope.... Pretends not to know what it says inside. .... and the winner of the 'Rock Hugger of the Year' award is @mel1111 in Hindey on the Rocks!

Yes.. at least I think it was that one. Could be mistaken, but it was an online shooter game with catch the flag etc maps.

My original username here came from Wolfenstein ET, or actually from SoF even before that. Then I started get more weebish (if I had posh education I'd call myself a fledgling japanist) so I changed to the current one.

WoT has a Black Market for overpriced crap. Perhaps WoWS could have a Black Market for usernames? Many many doubloons in it.

No easy YouTube video? I'm kinda lazy with these replays.

Pro tip: always pick a name nobody in their right mind would want. In your left mind, you get to have whatever is your first choice, then.

I always thought it meant El Zazer... whatever that was...

My father told me how he visited Hamburg's cultural sites. The zoo, where stern looking men directed the crowds, and the many lights of the St. Pauli district, and Herbertstrasse.

Oh, you meant the ship.
