FAKE NEWS! I didn't say that! I think the confusion can be attributed to this .. *coughs* at least if we are to believe Wikipedia.. Next question!

Yes and no. I remember thinking the Indianapolis was more reliable than the Atlanta, as they are very different ships in terms of their performance. As such, it is a USN light cruiser so there isn't much to say about it in my book as I don't typically like that type, especially on higher tiers.

I have some captains already trained for several such ships, so I just reassign them back to their ships. If I got no captain, I would typically recruit a new one.

This is always nice to get for your efforts if you fail to reconnect fast enough, or if you can't reconnect at all. This has happened to me a couple of times too. Not sure if it happens when there is actual server related problems, just when it is about your connection. My ISP sometimes likes to shut down DNS server without warning....

I for one hope that is not the case, because then I'd have a dismal service record in this game...

I tell you when it really isn't fun, that's when your BB gets a torpedo hit direct to your magazine and its KA-BOOM!

In this sense adding more opportunities to earn steal in the game is actually not inflationary. If they add more things to buy with steel without adding more steel in the game, what we actually get is deflation. You won't want to feel deflated after all..

They are learning! Maybe they watch Random replays in their spare time.

Well, this is not going to be a popular suggestion, but perhaps with 12 vs 12 the option to save the star on the defeated team should cover the top three to make it fairer.

TBH it really is a actual impossibility to balance this many ships no matter how they tried. Which is why, in the past, I've brought up the idea they should throw that concept out the porthole and focus on coming up with historically accurate balancing. Instead of futilely trying to balance performance stats, they should then do the balancing via in game rewards such as credits/xp etc. Play a good ship, earn fewer rewards, play a clunky old rust bucket, reap a king's ransom in rewards.

Me neither, I much prefer free permanent camos whenever we can get those, though I would pay for historically accurate camo schemes, within reason, that is... ...and for a Space Yamato camo too...

If you manage to get such a camo now, sure would be a shame to see it go wasted at a later date....

Looks different from the picture OP posted. A later refit, perhaps?

The worst problem (apart from my own abysmal performance which I can after all always rely upon) was that I found it difficult to fit the ranked into the ongoing campaign and other requirements.

Let's just keep this simple, the Rushan way. Losing a battle will cost you captain points. That's right. In extreme cases your captain would get demoted and eventually end up scrubbing the decks if you keep tarnishing your service record long enough for that to happen. Or get an all expenses paid trip to Gulag.

I'd welcome a less grindy way of getting those research points. The current system that requires you to reset a whole effing line and not only bars you from using several of those ships you had researched and bought and costs you a whole bundle of credits at that, is just... words fail me. Help!

I don't see how WeeGee could possibly make fantasy IJN refits, think what such fantasy ships would do to 'historical accuracy' and 'immersion' in this game. I think they are quite correct in not going down that path. *Firm nod*

Don't remember what happened and when, but it was a fun ship to play back then.

And once, long ago, it was actually a pretty good one, even with those awful ballistics.

Admittedly it is bit of an odd one, having been an actual real existing ship for a change. ... and as a Soviet cruiser so much better than the Omaha, a decidedly inferior American copy of it.

Still, good to see we finally get more of the much needed Soviet ships in the game. ... even if they are imaginary...

Schors was supposedly one of the better ones... of that sort.

Where there's a will there's a way!

Spotted a familiar name sinking our.. Yamato, was it?.. tracked then down @Migantium_Mashum, didn't sink him, I survived, we lost.
