Typical Haku game nowadays: you get a below average red team, you work your [edited]off, and... You are only 4th of your team...

What would you rather test as a developer. A simple product with the core concepts working that can be easily modified, or an elaborate product where you thought out everything in advance, that might or might not work in actual gameplay?

This is an exploit of the current game mechanics. The submarine test mode was made to discover those exploits in order to rectify them. I understand that people here are hysterical, but try to see it from the developers viewpoint. Subs were brought to the live server because it was impossible to collect data on the test server. Now we have the same situation here with all the bots, but they've at least tried. Give the devs more time and less drama.

Flamu's review is out: He does not reccomend it. My observations: -She seems to. be more precise than Tirpitz/Bismarck, also the short fuse time AP is nice. -Flamu uses a fire prevention build, as always. I think that a good concealment manouverable ship does not need it at T8. You can do the full secondary build. -Flamu tried to brawl against three tier8 ships at the end and failed. You can brawl against three in a Tirpitz, but not against three tier8s, especially without a secondary build. -The low torpedo protection and low HP combo really hurts. Also, on the test server you can buy 8 construction phases out of the 20, for 8000 doubloons. That renders the grind doable with normal regular gameplay. I don't want to do an excessive grind + 3500 doubloon combo, the 8000 doubloons + normal play would be appealing, if the ship would be as much strong as Tirpitz. I don't know if that is the case. What do you think about the ship, and how much grind and doubloons are you willing to invest to get her? Here are the missions: https://www.wows-gamer-blog.com/2020/05/odin-dockyard-directives-1-6-missions.html The trick is that you have to do seven per directive, and while most of them seem to be easy, you always need one or two really grindy ones, especially for the last three directives.

Come to the surface and fight like a man, pesky little bastards: So close: Have to wait a month for the coupon.

OP complains about BBs being too vulnerable against HE spam. Then he complains about Kremlin being OP because of having too much armor. I get a "logical failure" error message when I try to make a sense of it.

Personally I don't spend coal on captains, except if I finish a collection. Even the 35000 coal captains are overpriced. Think like that: how much fun you can have with a new ship compared to how much fun you can have with a captain? The coal ships I like: October Revolution Aigle Georgia Thunderer Have Jean Bart, but no longer available. Will get the Marceau in a month.

These are his random stats. Can you check his coop stats? Maybe he's a coop player who rarely plays random and scks at it.

I freeXP -ed the Moskva when the legendary mission was still available. Having free permacamo (that comes with the coal ship) and the mission for the legendary upgrade seemed to be a really good deal. Do I enjoy playing the Moskva? Not really. I don't have much battles on it, so it can change, but I have more interesting ships to play.

Stressed at work? Hop into Zao and get a Sweeping Victory and +2 karma.

I don't understand this "no future" argument. Everybody dies eventually, so we have no future. Why are we posting here anyway?

Why the Smaland is better? A tier X TRB Yugumo with strong guns is appealing. As for Smaland, you also have Halland, which is tech tree and considered to be better.

The spotting can be nerfed, they don't spot for the team, when underwater. This is realistic because underwater you can't radio communicate: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communication_with_submarines "Because radio waves do not travel well through good electrical conductors like salt water, submerged submarines are cut off from radio communication with their command authorities at ordinary radio frequencies. Submarines can surface and raise an antenna above the sea level, then use ordinary radio transmissions, however this makes them vulnerable to detection by anti-submarine warfare forces."

I'd love to get a sub captain and move him to my ranked Scharnhorst

Prepare your wallet for Odin, obviously.

This is how it happens: Streamer makes noob mistakes with the new class that would be obvious for everyone in 3 months from now. Streamer calls the new class crap and WG incompetent. Crowd builds up hate for the new class. Total PR disaster for the new class.

Same here, had to log out and log in again to get the token this morning.

Subs are weak because people with 20 battles can also get them, while the other players reached at least tier 6.

Can you keep the 19 pointer captains after the rent expires?

Raked in enough dough to get her:

The ranked meta is very different from the random experience. The maps are very small, you get easily flanked by BBs, HE spammed from smoked up cruisers and torp spammed from DDs ruling the islands. In random you have much more space. Also, Sinop is better in the ranked meta for the same reasons. In random you can use Scharnhorst's speed an maneuverability. I played one game recently, where I turned back a lost match by torping two other T7 BBs within half of a minute (by driving into 3 red T7 BBs, and I had Poltava team mate supporting me from distance). They did not understood how it happened so suddenly.

Even a Scharnhorst can citadell a broadside Sinop (saw it yesterday on Mr. Gibbins' stream) and don't forget about the torps. A bow in Sinop is an issue for every ship.

When Flamu was using the Odin, like an NC, then he could actually hit and damage distant targets. You cannot do the same with Tirpitz/Bismarck. You gain sniping ability and lose HP, compared to Tirpitz. Also you have low reload to compensate for the low alpha damage, a trade-off already proven to work by Scharnhorst. And don't forget that you get hydro plus torps. With that you can push caps better when the HE spam was neutered, compared to Tirpitz, who cannot push because of the DD crowd, and Bismarck who does not have torpedos. And then there is the better concealment. You gain much more versatility compared to the Bismarck sisters at the cost of less HP. BTW, I agree that the HP needs to be buffed (as it;s 15000 less than Tirpitz/Bismarck), especially if WG wants the event to be successful.

I played two submarine battles so far. My experience is that half of the submarine drivers have 500- (18, 50, 200, 400) battles in total, while the other ships are driven by the usual crowd of 1000+ battle players. Also you see 2 subs, 4DD, 4CL, 1-2BB/CV per side. Feels like a big mess.
