It's a Japanese ship...(they don't even want to show the proper ensign, those b****ters...) what else did you expect from WG... Type *cough* 5 *cough*....

Well.. I might prefer a solution where they'd have used refits of historical ships to fill up slots higher up the tree. What I really criticize is their choice of introducing fantasy/paper ships while leaving out a number of historical ships....

Just play on weekends and you get your wish.

Seems yes, you remember correctly.

So she's like.. atrocious?...

Took a spin in my Vlad in a tier X battle with @R3dShift on the same team. We were the NW team on Shards and.. well I got sunk and had to go AFK... when I got back and saw the report I was pleasantly surprised to see that they had gotten us out of the mess we were when I got sunk. Winning is nice, cheers!

Well.. on the plus side at least you can now more easily choose one of the options that is useful.

We probably need input from the omniscient mantis.

It looks like the Ark.. I guess I still have to keep waiting for the Titanic....

For a torpedo run, I use two tactics (1) initial long range shot, you never know you might get lucky!. Then while my torpedoes are on reload I try to skirt the planes, DD's, radar... sonar... (did I miss anything?) and work myself into an operational range, ideally as close to as my detection (and enemy ships, planes, radar, sonar... ) allow (sometimes I miscalculate) and (2) reach an ideal position to fire my torpedoes at the unsuspecting BB... ...and wouln't you just know it, the lucky little bother starts turning the second you fire your torpedoes at them... so even a close range torpedo run can fail massively...

Perhaps a comfy chair and ....

If nobody from WG is around... I think I can confess to using exactly one excellent mod made by @fugetsu -san that greatly enhances my already otherwise superior skills in battle. The mod allows me to fly the proper Japanese Rising Sun ensign making me practically invincible!

Please, no. Capping is an entirely artificial game component in its current form and should have little to do with winning a battle.

Can we go back to 1972?

DD's can work in a CV game but true, it's more down to something other than your own efforts. I still manage to do decent money on my Asashio on average. (So much so that I even get.. uh.. 'complimentary' messages after battle...)

I logged in and was somewhat negatively surprised that in the Naval battle what had looked like a 10 - 10 draw yesterday had turned into a 10 - 11 DEFEAT overnight. Any explanation? Have the rules changed, do some clans now get extra attempts or what? EDIT I had also posted on the forums this in another thread: Posted Saturday at 09:42 PM Er.. just checking if anybody else is spotting something odd about Naval Battles attempt counter? I have (supposedly) completed all my 10 attempts for this weekend and now am shown to lead 10 to 3... however! In port view the tab shows '3' and when I bring the cursor over it the pop up says: Attempts left: 3 ! Attempts are not counted in. Like.. what? 

Acknowledged. I've noticed they go after DD's and patrol cap zones instead. That also makes sense, of course. First you remove the enemy DD screen, then the cruisers and BB's.. and you get to claim the main prize after that.

Tacticswise, knocking out the enemy CV early on would be the smart thing to do.

I guess this is something I could try to find out if it's a bigger clan than mine (beforehand, I mean). Then draw my conclusions from that.

I know this isn't about in game things.. but IMO it used to be that carriers targeted each other early in the battle... now it's like they belong to some secret brotherhood...

Well... I can't even access them....

I see.. okay thanks for the explanation. I didn't know it kept score of stars instead of succesful attempts.. damn. In other words, if the system sets me up against a bigger guild I don't really have a snowball's chance in hell of anything but losing......

I have always assumed everyone has 10 attempts max. It's that counter under the Naval Battle tab (you click on it) that tells you what the score is. (See the pic, for me it's today 10 - 11 after the weekend battle is over....)
