Fair seas!

Playing better also means they don't think about missions, kills, killsteals and the like.

Sarcasm? Not sarcasm? Help!

Interesting, I've never thought of CE that way, more in terms of open water play. I've always picked it on DD's, though, even on gunboats I think, but I mostly prefer torpedo builds.

I assume the secondary build and CE are mutually exclusive, pretty much. Is it correct to assume, that the more you intend to engage in 'sniping' from the back line, the more you will make use of CE, and less of any secondary builds? This would seem like a 'safe' option, but what about when those DD's or something else manages to sneak on you?

You don't seem to have fire prevention, many have said that is a necessity.

I mostly go naked because I don't like to flash my wealth.

A.. brave suggestion, even an admirable one if I may say so, and something that the game would need. It would, though, have to be an AI admiral, something of the sort we have in operations with the voice commands over radio which could be further developed with AI map pings, location markings taken a little further, and might work in randoms but... somehow I'm not sure how the playerbase would react to even that. With a player being an admiral, we'd have a mutiny in our hands or a complete disaster.

Everyone will always hear all the captains according to what settings they are themselves using. Unless someone has National+ selected, they will never hear the special commander voices, theirs or anyone else's. As for the situation, @Seraphice we would still like to get a bit of clarification on the voiceovers and the missing Transformers music, please.

Well, I have pretty much held onto the established maxim from the old days that CE is very useful, or pretty much mandatory for certain classes/builds. CE effectively gave you a relative range/dispersion boost. However, a lot of that I think carries over from the golden olden days, possibly from the RTS carrier era and definitely before the emergence of the subs in gameplay.

How effective CE actually is in today's meta?

Don't know about those sub movies, but I'd hazard to bet that a sub captain who decides to ping with active sonar in enemy proximacy graduated at the bottom of his class.

First TYL drop today.

The camo is quite excellent, although... for such a price I had rather expected a claret.

I think I need to find one of those plastic lobsters somewhere and a suitable hat. I wanna look cool and badass on town too!

Massa makes Hermes easier, true.

Yeah.. well I meant the CV's primarily... it's still less bad than facing a CV in randoms. Plus you got no subs to deal with. As for the team, you get what you get and that's why I don't want to blow any costly signals or something over ops because failures happen, sometimes often. In Hermes, they don't protect the Ruan well enough, they don't intercept the DD's at the end, plus Ruan itself sometimes pushes too close to the enemy ships making it difficult to position yourself in a screening formation. Ruan is also bloody fast at that point. At the end, you have to be forward of the Ruan.

Like... two betters?

I would surmise your room temperature is pretty hot...

They still aren't anywhere near as problematic in operations as they are in randoms.

WG excels in competence and customer oriented products, as well as in providing excellent value for much of your money and a service with a smile.

Or operations. The situation is far better there even with the CV's when there is one.

I do operations, they don't always go well but I'm not using up any resources flags or such so it's not a huge loss. Sometimes they work pretty well, especially if there is a competent CV in the mix because if you've noticed, in operations like the Eternal Frontier and Hermes, sinking that enemy CV without a CV on your team is practically impossible. I think I'm too indecent for division play so if I go into randoms, mostly when it comes to NB over the weekends, I have to contend with some yolo action. Otherwise... it's not randoms for me except maybe occasionally on tier 10 and on the lower tiers. Coop I do sometimes, again mostly for NB, but less now because I dont' give a flying rubber duck about the missions any more. The only problems with this approach I can see is if I have to grind T9 ships, as I won't go into the randoms the only choice there is Coop.

In other words, people acquire it honestly instead of cheating and getting it for free.

Single class brawls would fit the bill.
