It looks like a good ship and my div mates make it work very well. You know, having one of these behind you in a daring is kinda good. But you get the same results if you have a mino or smol behind you? I just havnt pressed that button for it yet, just like the FDR or the Austin. I'm not even sure what I'm waiting for but nothing really stands out. Maybe something complely different? When I think of some of the steel ships, I simply look at other ones I have and.. Well, know there better or have similar playstyles.. When we test the ships in training battles, many of them produce the same results as other like to like ones. And if your gonna spend that steel, XP or coal then, personally, I want something different?

And here is the problem. Called it 3-4 years ago and they still havnt destingusied between light, heavy and super in MM (which is stupid). @YabbaCoe so it's what? Heavy or Super? Now you creating micky mouse ships that is...

Now they can mess around with premiums at will? No. .. Thank....You Days of even thinking about buying premiums have long gone.

Oh I wish you could. "backhander" would also be another good option.

I have yet the meet a good player that has hidden their stats. Hidden stats = burden on your team. Sounds harsh but there it is.

Don't agree. There have been many ships that have been straight up broken/op/unbalanced from the very start, even before they have been released. Belfast, Kamikaze, Giulio Cesare, Grad, Kaga, Enterprise, Saipan to name a few. All called by LWM, testers, streamers as being too strong or game changing. WG always have and always will know what they are doing before they release ships. There is a reason why they release a ship in it's given state and it's £££££. Human begins are naturally selfish and our natural instincts is to look after number one. It's our basic survival mechanism. The vast majority of players don't give a stuff about the state of the game or WG in general. They will always buy gambleboxes, ships, premium time ect and dribble their way to tier 10. The other half will buy anything that gives them an edge, no matter the cost. An open wallet. Those players feed WG greed and they couldn't care less about it. Might as well be blood diamonds. WG have got away with it for the past 6 years, and they will the next 6 years doing the same thing. So 9 out of 10 people with be sad about their toy being nerfed, not the fact that nerfing the F*&^^&% broken thing is the best thing for the game in general. Most don't care about balance, only nice pixel ships going "pow pow" at each other, blissfully unaware about anything whilst throwing money at WG thinking they will get ahead. *sigh* You open up WG to messing around with premium ships then you give them an open ticket to do what they want, when they want to any ship for whatever bullS&^% reason they give. WG "we have decided to give the Austin normal AP instead of SAP because of "reasons". WG "we have decided to takeaway Salam heal because of "reasons". The list goes on. Do we think they are gonna show us actual game evidence as to "why" they changed it? No.. Because the only spreadsheet they care about id the one we will never see and that's the ones keeping the coffers coming in. Letting them change premiums simply does more harm than good in the long run IMHO. It's best to take the lesser of the 2 evils.

Yes... Because before every battle I know who is going to win (Match Monitor). The match is already decided before it begins and it's to do with WR and stats. You have more red on your team, you are going to lose. They have more red, they are going to lose. It's the team with the least amount of red/hidden stat players that win. Get MM, it will open your eyes to the sheer amount of bad players this game has to offer and you can come of peace with the lose before the battle begins. Also helps in ranked when you need to go into save a star mode right from the start of the battle. P.S, average frags sums most players up, shows if they can pull their weight or not. Anything under 0.5 then their dead weight in that ship.

And whilst i'm on the subject and after the last 2 battles I have just had the mis pleasure to watch after doing over 200,000 damage and coming top twice whilst bottom tier... GET GUD! Because I am getting sick and tired dragging players like you to wins when you simply and utterly don't deserve it...I/We cant kill the ships fast enough for you lemmings to sail in a straight line and die. Sorry and rant over..

With the greatest respect, you don't have a clue...At all. That is a simple rant about nothing in no particular direction. 8154 battles and you can only manage 13,000 avg damage in your Yosh? Dear god in haven. I actually wanna rip my eyes balls out.. I do nearly as much damage damage in my tier 5 BB than you do in your tier 10 Thunderer and that is crazy avg damage strong! Just to put that into perspective a little. This is a simple "get gud" response mate. However, if you haven't leant the game after 8000+ battles and got even slightly "good" you never will. That ship sailed long ago for you.

Interesting, bumped into one tonight on my team. He/she got a kraken. Might have a further look at it. As for Premium ship nerfs/buffs? If they change premium ships then they completely take away any consumer confidence they have left, which is shocking bad right now. I completely agree they should be able to balance any ship, premium or not, like they should have done to Sooooo many ships in the past. But they haven't so far for a reason. It's all money...Bringing out broken ships makes money, screwing around with them and cheesing off the customers won't. So I hope they do it and start changing premium ships because then they can watch the pennies disappear as no one will wanna buy something they know could change at any moment.

Austin is the ultimate "teamwork" ship and ultimate high skill ceiling. It lives off being within a good div and played by a good player. If both of those stars are aligned it's OP. It may not even live long, but in the short space of time is, it can cause huge amounts of damage! However, when it's sailed by a muppet then it's toast and when not in a div, struggles to work alone. That is what balances it out.. The stats are good at the moment because only good players have it. I expect those to drop like a lead balloon when more and more people get their hands on it. As for the Salva, meh. It's great at sniping but that doesn't win games. If it isn't tanking (which they can't do) then some poor Cruiser is and those kinda games normally go south very quickly. The Slava is a very selfish ship. There are better ships at tier 10 like the Ohio and Bourg to mention a few. I have enough steel and coal for anything in the game but I haven't fancied anything else yet. Gonna see what the vampire 2 goes for.

The best comment I have heard for a while.

Not one. Never felt like falling for WG scheme from day one.

WoT is plagued by premium ammo and all that jazz. Not to mention the huge difference in tiers where a light tank doesn't stand a chance against a heavy one, never mind at a differnet tier. In WOWS even a tier 2 DD can kill a tier 10 BB. In WoT your screwed. WoWP is seal clubbing 101 and the game is dead with no development. Seal clubbing is like a different level with fully upgraded pilots and planes at tier 3 for missions. Having played all 3 (WoT, WOWS and finally WOWP), WOWS is defently more of a thinking man's game and most importantly, the fairest would you believe. Like many have pointed out, 20 mins is invested time and you tend to take it twice as hard when you lose.

They will be coming. No doubt in my mind that more modern ships will be coming out. I would even wager that you will have more tiers or at least a game mode.

edited Pink player Shimmy, sailed in a straight line through the cap, didn't move or fire and died. I wonder how many tickets this guy has got and STILL players the game after edited . BOTS. Sort it out WG. Stat shaming can go to hell, this has to stop. Black list this muppet chaps.

With the general player base so shockingly bad. It's hard to know who is a bot and who isn't now-a-days.

You know what, maybe that was a little harsh and a massive generalisation. I really meant the Big streamers. Flambass is a nice guy and I enjoy his playstyle. Some of the comments he makes are mostly spot on and I like is mannerisms. He is both critical and praising. He has also managed to keep out of WG marketing department and they havnt got their hands on him. It's just that the rest seem to have some hidden agenda, Guys like zoup who is on the books and Flamu who wants to keep the coffers coming in.. I chase is now living in Flamu downfall. All this stuff isn't my thing, streaming, likes, subscriptions, Its a different world now. But be under no illusions, there are WG employees masquerading as streamers drip feeding bits here and there... Trust me on that.

I have never watched any streamers. Never mind subscribe to any. Most are doing it for one simple reason, money. The only person who I hold any regard for and take in what she says is Little White Mouse. Not only do her threads contain great objective information but it's also a good read. LWM everytime. The rest are 1) money grabbers 2) not got a clue what they are talking about 3) on WG payroll.

Get MM. Then you would have known that that player has over 14000 games and can't even brake 50%. He is shocking. He is one these people in life where his his own mind thinks one thing but his actual ability is something completely special. He blames others for his own faililures and doesn't take responsibly for his own short comings. I wouldnt listen to a single thing the kid says.

1) knowledge is power. Know your enemy ship inside out. 2) Know your own strenghts. 3) Never play to your enemy strengths Those have helped me play DDs.

Loved the Fuso (crusier killer 101) and Nag (accurate guns), hated the Amagi (tier 10 and dispersion) and Izumo (crap armour back then). The Yam is alright. But that was back in 2015-16 when there was only the US and IJN battleship line. Things have changed somewhat, lol. Havnt played 3/4 of those ships since. Only the yam simply to do with games that require heavy overmatch and LM. The whole IJN line is the standard of standard for BB lines. Even more so then the US line as that used to be your AA BBs with slightly worse accuracy. The IJN line were you snipers, the US line was your medium range workers, behind the crusiers. Heavy low Flying shells and mostly accurate guns that throw things from range. Over the many years they have been power crept and out gimmick but they still hold their own. They just need someone that can hit things reliably from range, a good dose of RNG and not burn to death by spam. The whole line is all about the guns and RNG regarding overpens or cits... IMHO I don't like ships where its a lotto if you get overpens or cits, even on targets you KNOW you should be cits on. Hence why I hate the Hood now when they nerf/changed the guns. And playing IJN ships doesn't help the team as much as you normally play further back. If your not taking the hits, your poor crusiers are which isn't good. OP, you have only played 6 games In it so give it a chance. 50% isnt bad and your damage and PR will improve. There are some ships in the game that you will simply not get on with, either your gut feeling or simply not your playstyle, but give them a bit more time. I am still getting a grip on non smoke DDs. Its at the moment, totally unnatural for me as I am so used to smoke. But maybe in time it will click and you might find that with the Nag. Every ship has its strenghts and its all about finding it. The question is, does that strengh play to your general playstyle and mind set. If it doesn't then you will always be ice skating up a hill. After playing this for so long with other Clan members that have been with me from the very start (those that are left), each one has their own ways of playing and that hasn't changed. Some have always been better playing aggressive and some have always been better passive. Different ships either enhance that strength or goes against it. That's not saying that they are not good at doing both, as we all learn how to improve our weaker side, but I know which player would risk a torp rush (and do well) to those that wouldn't and want to play it more safe.
