There is currently problem in displaying camouflage in port. It doesn't update camovalues to any ship, no matter what ship you put that -3% camo... If you want more information about how detection works with this ship, you can always watch my youtube review about this ship, where it is explained in detail.(link in that other Blyskawica thread).

Umikaze can have 4.8km spottingrange with perks if I remember correctly. Tachibana was even better I think

This. New players often come here, being ambushed by destroyer, thinking "this can not be", he "seemed" to be much closer than 5km.. "yes. I am pretty sure about it, because I can't be surprised just like that..."... My advice is pay more attention to destroyers and their whereabouts. They can in fact be invisible closer than 5km... more eyes to minimap and you need to know the location of every destroyer. You need to be a bit paranoid, to be good player. If you are not paying attention to destroyer... "It will hunt you,... because that is all they do, and they absolutely will not stop, until you're dead" -Kyle Connor

Thank you for the feedback. You are absolutely right about the volume. I have decreased Sfx volume from the game by around 50% and I also ordered studio quality microphone, which should arrive in about a week. I am already in a process of making detailed analysis of more ships, with gameplay. If you liked the review, please subcribe for more content coming soon

It doesn't work that way. Soviet Destroyers do not get the same +3% of the caliber of the gun detection increase while shooting guns, like USN and POL get... They nerfed it for Soviets in the last moment and changed it... Let me explain... With Soviet Destroyers, 102mm(Tiers 1-4) guns will get +5.06 detection increase for the guns when shooting, and 130mm(Tiers 5-10) guns will get +5.9 detection increase for their guns. If your ship has Captain with Concealment Expert skill, +5.06km increase when firing will change to +4.54km and for the large caliber guns +5.9km will change to +5.31km increase(Captain skill will take 10% away from detection AND firing increase while shooting, both) Kiev with Camouflage and Advanced Firing Training(AFT) will have following stats: Detectionrange: 8.73km Detectionrange while shooting: 14.63km Weaponrange with AFT: 14.76km Invisibilityrange for firing guns: 0.13km Kiev with Camouflage, Advanced Firing Training(AFT) AND 5th Captain skill Concealment Expert, will have following stats: Detectionrange: 7.86km Detectionrange while shooting: 13.17km Weaponrange with AFT 14.76km Invisibilityrange for firing guns: 1.59km I will be doing full review on Kiev soon... stay tuned ;)

I meant give up on "guessing" the numbers. You keep guessing what concealments are and you're guessing firechances and you're guessing everything. 12% firechance is not the same as 9% firechance, Blyska 4.08km max concealment with all perks is not the same as 1.59km maximum that Kiev can ever have. When you look at real numbers, without guessing, you realize that Blyska can skip concealment expert skill and this way is much better in setting enemies in fire, with 3% better firechance and it also has one more turret to do it. In the first 3-4 shots the chance of setting enemy on fire is much better for our Polish destroyer. Eventually Kiev's rate of fire helps to balance it, but it often is those first few shots that matter most. You can not stay and keep shooting enemies for minutes in a row(Specially with Kiev, because they see you). It's not all about "staying hidden and safe". That concealment actually brings more DPM, when you can keep shooting uninterrupted with better firechance. Of course, other option is that you never take concealment expert for Kiev and you also go for extra firechance, but then you are incredibly vulnerable all than time, with pisspoor 0.13km concealment.... basicly you are visible all than time and you are going to miss a lot of shots, because you need to be turning and moving all than time, while Blyska can just keep nuking with all turrets. That said, there is nothing wrong in thinking that Kiev is better for you, and I personally think Kiev is amazing ship. In fact I have 100% winrate and 2119 average base xp with it, in my few games, but if you stop guessing and you look at numbers, Blyska makes more potential damage and is much better protected with perfect concealment, where it can keep nuking enemy forever. You are also right that these are opinions and we all have our favorites. My 3 favorite ships in the game are Blyskawica, Kiev and Nikolai, so we don't really disagree all that much in the end.

Why don't you give up already? They are not even close to each other in concealment Blyska can have 3.3km of stealthfiring WITHOUT 5th captain skill. And 4.08km with concealment expert. What this means is you need like half a million xp to get any concealment for Kiev and at the same time Blyska doesn't even need 5th skill and can take demolition expert which increases it's firechance by massive +37.5% of original 8%, making it 12%.... I have them both and I like both ships, but in my eyes Blyska is better.

Carriers most "not fun" class, because playing carrier nowadays is filled with frustration... the planes never do what you want and everyone and their mother has fighterplanes. You can not even defend your allies with fighters, because your bombers always die by "battleship fighter" if you don't escort your bombers in every single attack. Earlier, you could focus on defending AND attacking, now it is just all your planes in one big bubble, no tactics whatsoever. Complete braindead gamestyle.

Antony is 62 year old guy, not very good with computers. We had a talk under other topic earlier and he is new(to pvp)and struggles to get results, but he's a nice guy. Being older and not so clever with modern electronics is hardly justification to call him a troll... I know how you guys might get that idea, considering the history of this forum, but... sometimes, someone is just not very good at something. Some people slow down after 60 years... and there is nothing wrong with that.

Your statement is just... wrong. If you had watched my video, you would know that concealment with perks is more than 3 kilometers... not 1...

All the above, and following information is covered in the Ship review video and it is also compared with Kiev. Yes, 11.1km is correct Elenortirion. Detectionrange is 7.7km and it is 7.5km with camouflage, 6.72km with Camo AND Concealment Expert skill. Shooting your guns will increase detectionrange by +3% of the caliber of your gun, which in 120mm guns is +3.6km, making it 7.5km+3.6=11.1km if using camo.

Actually the system is already working as reward based. DD's get better XP for focusing in capping and defending caps. Cruisers can also do the same thing. Hanging at back with Battleship is not worth it anymore, after latest patch. You get much better XP for being close to cap and prevents caps, than camping at back.

I started a new series of Ship reviews and the first one in the series is Blyskawica. There are some useful tips for this ship(Running 86% winrate with it, while making video):

Yeah. That would be very good idea. I am currently member in Wot clan, where I (used to played some clanwars)never play... but if they make team mode for this thing, I am going to find a clan to play warships in a team. I can only imagine how much fun that can be

Yeah, then again, captain training is kind of important for THIS ship in particular. This is my favourite ship now ;)

Playing all classes, very little CV's nowadays and a lot of Destroyers now.

My first victory with Blyskawica(Basedefender, lol)

Yep, I don't even ask for help anymore, I just go and kill those DD's with my BB... Could as well do it myself...

it might look like you repair citadel hits but think of it this way: You take 15% fire damage of you HP.... you play 2 more minutes... You take citadel hit... and realize you need to repair: You repair 15% of that fire damage, while you THINK you repaired citadel hit.

5 Confederates in a row

That pretty much sums it. I like the playstyle as well. It's just Ognevoi which is bad. Currently at Kiev, which I like a lot

Your first games were lucky, and now you finally realize you shouldn't of buy them.... I don't know how many times I have said in this forum that Atlanta is horribad garbage, but you people keep buying it... and then regretting it, just like I regret buying it... You make mistake and lose some money.... so buy better ship next time. Do more research... My first premium was Atlanta, but now I know better... Sorry, but I am actually laughing at your expense here... I can not help myself...

it's all about brainwashing your allies to do your bidding Don't tell them what to do, make them do what you want

Carousel is good otherwise, but every time you start game, it forgets the "Display order": "Nation/Tier/Type" setting. I like to keep it sorted by tier, but I have to set it every time I start the game, because it always reverts back to sort "by nations" setting.

IMO they should of never started messing around with aircraft behavior. They should of just made them do less damage per torpedo. All this tuning has just broken the planes and they don't do what you tell them, and THAT is why I don't play carriers anymore, because they behave so stupid.
