it should be still a gutboat for a couple () of weeks...

Not my fault you fell for bourgeois lies about earnings and effort and took out dirty tiny capitalist boat. You seem to be perfect candidate for reeducation, da?

NOOOOOOO Is that sure and verified? Cause 2 was the only reason I'd stay, to have glorious CV div with @El2aZeR to enhance WG's intended rebalancing. I have literally no other reason to stay cause 1.

I won 30 days premium in a SC both in november and december. Ending in a few weeks. Perfect timing. At least sometimes WG does smt right.

You surely keep your dreams for reality imho.

Let's say I'd use more colourful terms to describe it.

lol Also, don't misunderstand me. There's enough situations where reversing in a BB is useful, at least for a while or under specific circumstances. I had a "friendly" GK rushing a cap in the first minute without a DD a few days ago and dying faster then you can say "one potato, two pota-". Not advocating for that. Thing is, other players see it happen and just start doing it too, but without realizing if it is effective. The same goes for all those BBs spewing HE non stop. They've been hit by British HE, were "impressed", and started doing it as well, regardless of context. It's just monkey see, monkey do. I bought Yamato not that long ago, and that's a ship where bow on (forward or reverse) is almost a must. I remember having warrior's path, spawning south near C multiple times in a row, where I would go to the ten line, where I can shoot to the opposite kiddy corner (the island corner near C, where a lot of ships tend to "strategically deploy" for 20 minutes) and have a minimal crossfire with one of my BBs who goes to the kiddy corner at my side. What happens? Other BBs just come towards me. Other time I went for the kiddy corner myself, hoping that the two other BBs would go wide flank (cause that's new braindead meta too), and guess what? They too just came towards me, which for me was sign to f off before a red dd would get an mo-mo-monsterkill. I mean, the vast majority of this playerbase is a combination of cowardice, sheep mentality and utter unawareness of (very, very) basic play, which is a perfect recipy for the passive borefest with expected roflstomps as result we have been seeing for so long now.

Neither does most movement at high tiers. Do you think the average reverser has any idea what he is doing, as in what you refer to, namely strategically? Of course not. Only thing he has learned, or only reason he does that, cause he has seen other people do it and noticed he couldn't kill them easily. That's it. Easy giveaways for that: when bloody inept cruisers do it: a salem trying to bowtank a 406+ BB in the open and not holding fire after his first cit(s), a chapayev bowcamping, a roon (!), etc Or for BBs. A repu bowtanking for ten minutes. Or any BB, and when they see their DD dying in front of them and take over that DDs RPF, panic so hard and try to get out anyway, give full broadside and eat multiple cits. Or, they keep reversing even when they get flanked by another BB, and don't angle against it. It's like a bear "dancing". He's not dancing, he doesn't even know what that is. His drillmaster just tought him to move uncomfortably on the music (probably by hurting his feet when he was young). Or when a monkey rams a typewriter. (even though he will write shakespeare in a few million years). In Dutch we have a nice saying that expresses that. "He has heard the bell ring, but does not know where the clapper hangs."

You did see he asked it regarding nurnberg? My last advice ever would be to "get closer"

Really? "Things not getting old" at tier ten? What I see is 75% of BBs reverse bowcamping, cruisers being forced to play safe because almost all games have 5 bbs. Not stale at all... And I'm just going to ignore you bringing up "skill" as being related to tiers. That might have once been true, but that's now legends and folklore. I sometimes go to the really low tiers (ie 2/3/4) to escape the braindead infested bore-and-campfest high tiers . I agree with AO they are somewhat fun, and have nice matchmaking. Purely theoretical though I'd prefer to play some midtiers I like (marblehead, nurnberg, chappy, hipper, etc) but being effed hard by the matchmaker gets really old really fast, where you would still have to carry your two tier higher bbs, not to mention midtiers have a lot higher chance of camping standard mode.

@El2aZeR and I met @lup3s two times in his z23 this evening, which I suspect he is grinding. The first game he easily carried our sorry tier 10 asses with excellent play and a kraken. edit: In that second game, we also met @IceyJones who was his old jolly self

mint is a distribution. A desktop environment is smt like gnome, kde, budgie etc.

ok. I was too fast and mistook your "virtual desktop" for virtual machine. Though it doesn't make much sense. You're saying you need a separate virtual desktop for the game? Or is that some wine setting? Still, I would be curious if there would be any difference for you if you tried the steamplay option. And what kind of desktop environment are you using? If the reason is the window manager, you could try a DE that uses another WM.

see my post in the tech corner subforum.

Hello darkness my old friend I've come to talk with you again, Because the planes are softly creeping, Left its bombs - and I went weeping, And the vision that was planted in my brain Still remains Within the sound of balans

Well, Hinden didn't need a nerf a few months before that, right before buffing Zao and Moskva, either.

I rebought nurnberg just to give von Jutland a place somewhere ;) (and I don't play graf Bleh)

With soviet CVs coming in let's say spring and having battlestar galactica at t9 & battlestar pegasus at t10, I'd say why not. I complain. Granted not on forums anymore, cause WG doesn't give a flying kcuf. It is broken, and even more so since "we will fix matchmaking for tier 8 da da" turned out to be "fix matchmaker for tier 9 and make premium bbs top tier xa xa" In general I hate all tier 9 bbs. Not only because of the BS it provides when you meet that idiocy with a t7, but also because it breaks "normal" matchmaking. Recently I've seen games where all or close to all T9 bbs were JB, misery or yammie-light.

The moment there are free respecs I'll probably try that out.

Added an update, mainly in regards to troubles concerning linux and arsenal and inventory. Problems there are caused by WoWs using an internal browser ingame (chrome clone?) Interestingly enough I discovered that you can go into your arsenal from any external browser through http://arsenal.worldofwarships.com/. You might need to login into your account first through e.g. the shop.

The remastered series did a very nice job imho. Also Kharak is burning I remember getting such goosebumps from the original game.

Happy year of the carrier to everyone
