This sounds just like a lame excuse to grief people with CVs in order to fix your overall stats. Why don't you play Fiji or Edinburgh until you get 1500 kills in them? Cuz they require more skill than playing a CV and you can't grief people with them.

Not a problem. Black crocodile camo gives 150% Free XP at Tier 9. Its original camo doesn't give almost anything. But Anshan original perma camo and Lunar camos both give 100% Free XP at Tier 6 and Anshan is for free (through campaign or coal).

The only funny part of playing Black now is if u see an enemy ship taking a torp hit.

This; But i think Somer's Predator or Flint's Ultimate Wolf skins would look better on it.

Does feeling young count? I doubt Disney would go to franchising with weeegee anyway.

Only for good DD players. I have seen many Blacks in Ranked "Sprint" that used the radar incorrectly, that smoked incorrectly, died to radars, hydro, CVs. If you are not a good DD player, Black will be a disadvantageous ship for you to play. Because that radar can make you feel over confident and cause you make mistakes that you wouldn't normally do. Because tier 10 ships are better than rest of the tiers in almost every way. In addition, being the top tier all the time is not a bad thing.

Including CVs in CBs and ranked is one of the most absurd things WG's been doing for years. Unfortunately.

I hope you meant Star Wars...

Oh, right could be. I've been so away from CBs , didn't even think of that. Then, of course "is Black the right ship for CBs?" would be another Q. There are many contenders.

I was speaking in general and don't know your case. I'm just trying to inform people who think Black has a huge advantage over other DDs, that it doesn't. Saying that would be wrong, without knowing and evaluating the ship's overall characteristics and how game evolution in last years impacted Black game play negatively (hence, i wrote only good players can take advantage out of its radar today). I really prefer, Benham, Jutland, Fletcher and some other tier 9 DDs over Black whenever i want to have a fun game with better odds of winning.

1) It's something only good players can take advantage out of it. 2) I don't know how many hundreds of times it's been stated in this forum that Black is not the old Black that was three years ago. Right now, there is no point of getting this ship. But i guess it seems like a "wow" ship to those who don't have it. It's not wow at all.

yes it does, and?

1. Why do you wait for Black? Is there a special reason or you saw it in the game and just want it? 2. Do you think it will bring you more wins (because it won't)? 3. You only have tried 2 tier 9 DDs so far with poor pr and dmg values. Meaning, you will most prolly won't do good in Black if you get it right now. 4. Why don't you try other tier 9 DDs while awaiting for Black? This way you can improve your DD play and have more experience in up tiers. 5. Better, go for tier 10 DDs.

WG does not care what you think and you should know this by now.

No. It is a meaningless and useless report option as well as the rest of the options. Except, misbehavior in chat. Reporting is totally a hypocritical system with the purpose of entertaining snowflakes by giving them the comfort of reporting anyone to get chat banned and making them feel important when they get +1.

They Don't Care. They never cared and will never care about our opinions. WG does whatever suits their business interest. You, I and others don't mean anything to WG other than keeping the servers populated. If you stop playing, there will be other "new comers <--That's what they care".

"Can we expect good play from Cruisers/DD players?" -No. - Because, most players of this game don't care about the win ^^ They play as if they are playing a fishing game while drooling at the screen. Hopeless. Thanks WG for making the player base quality worse and worse each year....

+1 for NASA’s Perseverance.

I had to...

AFKs are not the problem. In all my games, i have hardly seen good players being AFK anyway (Pls look below for an **example). It is almost always the bad to very bad players. So, even if they play, they wouldn't make any difference in game. The bigger problem is Ranked Sprint is full of bad players. Mostly below 45-50% wr. What happened to our regular rank? Why did WG take it from us? Why all the mods in the game is like a torture to play? Why does WG want a dumber player base? No, i'm trying to insult anyone but asking straight forward. Still didn't get any answer from WG regarding how this new rank system eliminates bad players from reaching upper leagues? If it doesn't, why do they call it ranked? **example:

I think that link expired.

Bro, it's not about getting convinced or not :) I already knew the ship before it came out. Just by simply checking its ship specs in detail, i had the idea about its pros and cons. So, it was clear to me how it would perform in a random battle more or less depending on the enemy skills, existence of CVs, number and type of DDs, etc.

Is it for sure Austin will be for steel? I must have missed it. I may get FDR just to grief people. Except that, i don't like griefing much. Even if i get it, i would play her numerous times and she'd be a port queen, so i'm not sure about FDR. Shiki i have, is okay for randoms. You can get good games in it due to higher number of tatos in randoms. In ranked, i'd prefer Yamato over Shiki. Austin, won't get it if it is coming out for steel. I'm sure you are better than most of them.

Just saying it again here, think twice before you get Austin. This is what i wrote about Austin in December; "Austin has almost double the reload time of shells, weaker HE but SAP, 75% RB, Fletcher torps and 30K HP pool with standard heal in comparison to Worcester's 45.5K HP and radar. Sounds like a mutated higher tier Anchorage with different gimmicks (and ofc without the smoke or radar)." So, no radar, no smoke and 30K hp with standard heal sounds too squishy for a T10 cruiser, imo. There are some people who apparently handle her quite well. Source; wowsnumbers.
