I was wondering what made the battle seem so smooth and effortless!

Er.. BTW about this 'Pan-European' and other such tech trees, does anyone know if captains can be moved freely as if they were a one nation tech tree or will they still be restricted to their own nation and whatever (few) ships they might get?

Hmm.. not sure if it is the tradition in the RM, but in most other navies ship names get 'recycled'. Quick edit: Seems the same applies to the Italian Navy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italian_battleship_Vittorio_Veneto https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italian_cruiser_Vittorio_Veneto

One factor was that I think the Lightning was stuck at B the whole time, only capped, ran away to hide and didn't manage to do much else IMO. Then suddenly most of their ships like The Atago and those two BB's at least veered from C towards B. We were also lucky that our ships cleared A so quickly.

Happened to spot @FixCVs_Nautical_Metaphor in battle. We were on the same team which was one of those nice teams you sometimes get. We got to enjoy a nice, relaxed battle with spectacular results!

As a fan of historical correctness, I voted 'Yes'.

It's hard to say much of a factor better-than-average AA is considering the rather volatile nature of the CV's. Bad AA is always a concern, though.

T10 would be fine too!

What I'd like to see is something on tier 9, like a DD, preferably Japanese.

Pavlik? That you?

Is this when the player stats become a relevant factor? When the ships are being tested how different is the test player base compared to the server population?

That's kind of funny because by far the greatest problem I face in almost any BB has to do with onboard fires.

Well, if you are asking me, bring some order to the chaos that battles seem to be. Specifically, if you are asking me is the different classes should have clearly defined roles and the balance should be geared towards optimization with that purpose in mind.

Well.. what would you like to see happen then? In battle and balance wise?

Possibly.. but only if at the same time their fire resistance is upgraded otherwise there'd be no reason to play them at all. Ideally, IMHO, the game should be balanced so that capital ships would primarily engage opposing capital ships.

Yes, but not sure what you mean as the in game models have most of the RL armor protection stripped off. Go figure...

You forgot to say that it is also a ship that never existed, a figment of their fantasy, in other words. Even if it had been built knowing the fact that Soviet shipbuilding was the 'cream of the world' (except for some genuinely talanted, mostly Russian trained individuals like Admirals Pyotr Kitkin and Axel Berg) it would have likely done the same as the Swedish Wasa (a ship on the deck of which (sort of) I once walked in my younger days...) namely promptly capsized and sunk.

Gremlin's been one of the biggest disappointments for me. I really don't get all the hype about Soviet BB's or that ship in particular....

Invisible walls and islands that can be sailed through... the World (of Warships) is falling apart, I tell ye!

The only thing that I can remotely remember happening to me is that my ship hit a 'wall', stopping with engines and propellers running but that was in savage battle and I immediately D/C'ed after that. I'm not sure if everyone else was affected too because after relogging I found my ship still intact (though I took a non-lethal torpedo hit right after that).

Oh my oh my.. I wasn't expecting the Spanish armada.

There's salt in the breeze....

Now that you mention it, I did experience something weird like this in WoWS but not yesterday, it was a few weeks ago and was prolly due to the server problems at the time.

Hydro is of limited usefulness, though, unless you know exactly when to use it and when not to. What about Vigilance? How useful would that be?

BTW, how easy is it knock out the turrets on the Kremlin?
