Well this was the end... I tried to put some torps in those Tirpitzes, but alas that thing takes a lot to sink.

Awesome Ken! Makes me want to roll out my Izumo.

For one, they should stop selling premium ships to brainless plankton with 100/200 games, whos place is at tier 4 max.

Look at my stats. I sealclubbed a lot in Umikaze (the downside, low average damage, but who cares), and played many games both in the Fujin and Kamikaze, which are premium ships. http://worldofwarships.eu/en/community/accounts/516880561-Babykim/!/pvp/ships/?bestShip=umikaze

I have a 19 perk captain on Japanese destroyers

I use chat as a valve, can't do without.

Concerning the Kitakami, the game designers are still aganst its return, while everything else is ready.

Wow, nice Scotish seaside!

According to getfun, the developers on the RU forum: 1. argue that the premium cruiser USS Portland will likely be higher than tier 8 2. strongly hint at the premium cruiser USS Indianapolis, which is a was a Portland-class cruser, coming with the 2016 movie featuring Nicolas Cage: http://www.imdb.com/media/rm2491292160/tt2032572?ref_=tt_ov_i 3. about to announce a world-wide competition for the best reticle design. The winner's reticle will be included in the client, and the winner rewarded. Source:

Rather the absence of my favorite aiming reticle and a few Friday beers in blood.

I am crossing my fingers...

Yes please, I am using this one too. Is there a problem with crosshairs in general?

Tell us more about the Texas and the Molotov...

I was talking about the last micropatch 0.5.4.3 (cruiser games only, Campbelltown), not the forthcoming update. The RU, NA and Asian clusters had the info, only EU did not. These patch notes never appeared on the EU server: http://worldofwarships.asia/en/news/announcements/ver-0543-patchnotes/ It is no secret that WG does not take patch notes seriously, which nurtures conspiracy theories about secret nerfs and leaves people who want to learn the game wondering about game mechanics, vehicle parameters, etc. Well company, get your act together and rise to the next level of professionalism. You are becoming a laughing stock, at least in my eyes.

For all who care to see how professional patch notes look like? Here: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/blog/20057106/patch-241-ptr-patch-notes-4-12-2016#general

See how a timely bit of communication can go a long way in restoring trust. But what about the missing patch notes? It is standard in the gaming industry (at least for major titles) to accurately and timely inform the interested players about changes in the game content. Even if nothing has changed (like in 0.5.4), it is important to tell them that nothing did. I kindly ask you to step up the quality and the quantity of shared information.

Is Reddit an official communication channel?

This is very likely to be so. But FFS it is not how it should be. They could not even be arsed to post the patch notes for the latest update. Sometimes I feel they only delete from the forum instead of contributing to the community. Mostly hiding though. Lousy job.

This is how you communicate with a community. The EU community managers should learn from their American colleagues.

Ok, I will always add a link to the source in the future.

Yes

Same delay on RU...

I did not post the link because unfortunatelly there is nothing else to see in that video, just the guy playing a game while talking.

Here two new features spotted in a video from a recent studio visit: 1. New minimap with extended functionality 2. Landmarks to be shot (new pve gamemode?)

Do you know if the difference will be refunded by adding experience on the ship? I am asking because I happen to grind the Fubuki. Overall great news, thx!
