I have all the ships you mention except for the Kitikamu. The Sims and the atlanta are moneyprinters. Although I do not do very well in the Warspite , I never took a loose in credits in it. Most of the time the earnings are very reasonable. The Yubari is not bad. Please note that premium ships are mostly not the best ships of their tier. Please don't take this wrong, but maybe you need some more experience in the normal 5,6,7,8 tier ships, before you can fully apreciate these ships.

I asume it is a relative on the picture. Because the picture in unclear it is nearly imposible to identify the ship for 100%. If you have the name of the relative on the picture and his date of birth you can ask the RN for the names on which ships he had served. In the Netherlands there are also websites which mention the crew of most warships during WW 2. I wish you much luck in finding the name of that Warship.

That's why you have to play together with different classes. The team with the best teamplay will (and/or should) win.

Your explanation sounds very good to me. BB's that can come close to other BB before any real damage can be done (to them combinned with a low shooting range), is maybe the thing we are waiting for. This could be the answer for the camping BB's, who only shoot from far distance. When this becomes more common, they can't do anything else then engage the enemie earlier and play more agressive. Supplementary this would mean that CA's who escort BB's get more to do cause the distance will be closed much earlier. Secondary it will be more common for CA's to escort BB's. The consequence will be that teamplay will be more rewarding (meanly as in more fun to do). A main condition is that the armor patch must be in place by then. But according to the early annoucement the new BB's will come in the same patch as the armor patch. So that is a good thing.

Welcome to the world of PvP games. It is sad, but I don't think this will change soon. But you have to translate the whining. If the enemy team rage you in chat. It is a compliment. You played very well and distrubed their gameplay. If your own team rage you (undeserved) in chat, They show their lack of experience. They are just noobs and try to be funny on your expense. They don't realize the joke is on them, because the rest of the team will not take them seriously anymore. Please let these things not disturb your fun in the game.

Be glad they are not planning a wipe between OBT and release. Think about the alpha's they got already so many wipes that they lost count. I don't think we have anything to complain about.

I bought it too, Needed 2 games to fige it out. Till now I find it a very good ship if used right. As descriped before don't play it like a ijn BB but as a slow CA. I escorted some CA and the results were very good. I have the impresion that the guns are really accurate. I got reguallary citadel hits. The maneuverability is great. I even made it better by buying the stearing gear modification 2. This works great. It may not be the best ship in game. But the criticism in this topic doesn't serve this ship right. It is certainly not the worst ship in game. On the other hand it seems that my tast of ships (and tanks) is differrent then the general tast. I'm sure that statistics will eventually prove the real vallue of this ship. I just read it HE does 35 % fire chance. I'm gonna test that next game.

There is no official Apple release of WoWs. But I heard that you can run WoWs on a Mac using Bootcamp. Bootcamp just emulate the windows operating system. More info => Google. Please note that this solution is not supported by WG and is totally on own risk.

You must be the most unlucky player in game. In almost 1000 games, this has not hapen to me. Why does WG hates you that much ? More seriously, Do you know how many people were online at that moment. ? The only times I had some really strange MM was when there where only a few people online. Although it wasn't that strange you described.

Please use BB as abbreviation of batleship. BS is an abbreviation of something totally different (beginning with Bull...). I don't know where you are talking about. I use my BB's for mid range and short range too. And it is always a nice moment when the secondairies kick in. The accuracy of the main guns only get's better on short range. So if you hardly do any damage on mid range, I'm very curious how you are doing on long range.

Second question : Where was your support of a CA ? BB's need a escort of a CA just for these events. If you don't get a escort , stay close to an allied CA. (But look out for that he is not going places where you don't belong) DD's are the main enemy of a BB. It is difficult (as it should) for a BB to protect it self against a DD. This while the secondairy guns already most of the time kill a DD in range. This is especially the case with the captains skill where the range of the secondairies is increased with 20%.

Releases smoke

When I cap with a IJN DD (I have only till tier 5) I choose the cap carrefully. So there is always a way out. When the other side tries to cap wit a US DD and I have no support I retreat. There is no need to fight when you know , you will die. Better to retreat and come back latter on.

According to me the OP means 1 tier differance in division members and does not propose a MM+/-1. I think that MM+2 will depend on how many people will play the game

Maybe because at this moment I don't go for stats. I prever to use the CBT for testing and learning. I use this period to test the ships and maps. Besides that I'm trying what strategy works best for each ship. Unfortunately the only thing I have learned yet, is that I'm a very slow learner. So please keep this game in CBT for a few years

Welcome a board. Hope you have a lot of fun

Please note that every day at that time the servers are reset. So it is not only for this update. You can check the server schedule in your member page on de WoWs website.

You mean info like this : http://forum.worldofwarships.eu/index.php?/topic/11327-development-bulletin-031/

As I understand from your rather long story is : Buff the accuracy of BB on long distance and nerf the velocity speed of the shells. My first reaction was Why ? But after thinking about it, I like the Idea. This means that BB's are less depended on RNG and more depended on Skill. In the mean time the target gets more time to dodge the shells. This way a skilled CA player has more change to win from a bad BB player. +1 from me

No problem, But as a balancingfactor the reloadtime of torpedo's on higher tier must go down.

Bad, Bad Idea. This will just encourage people not to fight when they are one ship ahead. So they will run already at mid game, just not to get killed.

1) BB's are supposed to be strong. You were just unlucky that you didn't kill him with 5 Torpedo's. Most of the time it is enough. Trying to kill a BB in open wather with a low tier US DD is asking for trouble. You need support for that. Choose your targets well. 2) BB's camping near islands. Oh man tell me more. This is the wet dream of a DD commander. These are the targets you want. Manouver carrefully. Don't go streath to te target. Sneak up. 3) NO 4) Seems good to me 5 BB/ 3 DD/ 7 CA. Don't know why you are complaining.

WG stated earlier that they wanted to test the influence of this mod on the gameplay. They also stated that if they disallow this mod they will protect the game not only against this mod, but against all mods like this which might appear in future. Beta is the place to test these kind of things. You judge WG as if it is a fully released game. It is not. What they did was the most senseble thing to do. Instead of wasting time in disable this one mod they took the time to make it mod-developers more dificult to develop these kind of mods. In the next big update they will disable these kind of mods. I'm happy with it, and in the mean time I have learned to dodge a lot better.

And again: All of these points already discussed on the forum. To qoute BigBadVuk :"Search is your friend". If a CV captain managed to drop his Torpedo's so close to a DD , I have to congratulate him/her on his skill. Please try to do this your self.
