Hi all, During the weekend I had "pleasure" to have one Tier VIII USN CV in my team - almost 150 battles already played in new (post v0.8.x) CV but just 10K average damage, 0.1 kills per game and 30% WinRate... he died within first few minutes (to enemy "Asashio" - because he never ever spotted for us)... We, of course, lost expressly without spotting and against unicum enemy CV... Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, So why is it not working for me... strange indeed... Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, Sad... apsolutely sad... Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, Yep... I know how you feel... I posted this in thread "the "carry harder!" thread" the other day... Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, "Concealment Expert" (CE) captain skill in post v0.8.x world for BBs - YES or NO? I used this skill on all of my BBs as very 1st 4th row skill - because concealment was "additional armor" and it enabled engaging and disengaging with much greater flexibility for the player. But come the v0.8.x and there are suddenly CVs everywhere and airplanes are spotting everything almost from the start almost all the time (with quick airplane rotation and constant attacks this is the new way of life now)... So... "Concealment Expert" (CE) captain skill in post v0.8.x world for BBs - YES or NO? Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, Due to extremely busy time I managed to play just 7 TEST battles... I used my "Großer Kurfürst" and exchanged "Concealment Expert" captain skill for "IFHE" captain skill (19 point captain)... 7 battles 4 Victories and 3 Defeats 3 defeats were the usual ones - you all know how that goes - DDs die in first few minutes and/or friendly high tier CV has 30% WinRate / 0.1 Kill per game / 10K Average damage while enemy CV is unicum purple beast... In any case it was fun in all situations where secondaries were employed (in 2 defeats I was not even able to use them - this is how bad team lost due to reason described above) and were averaging 30k+ together with 10K+ fires (for total of average 40K+)! But... there were games where there were no CVs... and in those games the concealment was big big issue since I was focus fired due to high spotting range... I did well but it was not pleasant... Therefore I put everything back (i.e. "Concealment Expert" back instead of" IFHE" late last night because free changes ended this morning)... Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, If you "read between the lines" it sure looks like they (WG) are not very enthusiastic about player reception of Ranked season #11 (in new format)... Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, Aslain, I have it installed and I get the "flames" on the edge of my screen... strange... BTW, perhaps I shouldn't have checked "Reduced Fire Effect" in settings? Could that be it? Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, Guys, is "Dirt Repellent" removing the "Fire Effect" for you? For me it is not (and it was supposed to be replacement for "Fire alert frame -> Hide Fire Screen" ... Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, He didn't spot at all... he got killed by enemy "Asashio" just few minutes into the game (and he never moved)... you can imagine the chat in our team... Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, Yesterday I had Tier VIII USN CV in my team - almost 150 battles already played in new (post v0.8.x) CV but just 10K average damage, 0.1 kills per game and 30% WinRate... he died within first few minutes... We, of course, lost without spotting... Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, Was there any info from WG regarding different AA FLAK values for same guns but placed on different tier ships? For example: The "Bismarck" and the "Scharnhorst" in v0.8.0 had same values for FLAK: but in current v0.8.0.1 (i.e. "HotFix") FLAK values now show large difference (please note that the "WoWs Fitting Tool" still has data from v0.8.0 - I can't post picture from current v0.8.0.1 from it): "Bismarck" FLAK "Aura Far" = 1.700 (from 2.100) "Scharnhorst" FLAK "Aura Far" = 300 (from 2.100) Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, There is most excellent article from DevBlog I posted here yesterday: Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, To hear that new "Azuma" plays similar to my beloved "Dmitri Donskoi" is great news - thanks for info! BTW, I really don't know how this happened... she is one of my favorite cruisers... I kept her with her 19 points commander... P.S. Just started "Moskva"... building "Elite Captain XP" to bring her to 19 points (just have 10 at the moment)...

Hi all, Flamu's new "Montana" build... no AFT and no CE... Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, Very interesting... and he also dropped "Concealment Expert" (CE) as well... Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, Thanks for info - much appreciated! Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, Interesting... BTW, since I have 2.250.000+ FreeXP I think that should be enough for both "Alaska" and "Azuma".... Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, Both "Bismarck" and "Scharnhorst" can see CVs from Tier VI and Tier VIII? Right? But true... "Bismarck" can also see CVs from Tier X - but that is not issue here... Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, Lets have our collective fingers crossed because this looks totally illogical especially since both ships mentioned can see same enemy CV (Tier VI and Tier VIII)... Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, Lets hope that "Minimap Extended -> Display target direction lines" come back sometime... I really can't play stock MiniMap (I am so spoiled by color shaded circles)... Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, Last night I played rather late (past midnight) and while the quality of CV players was indicated as very low (10-20-30-40% WinRate) they actually did rather good in game on both sides (later I checked and they were mostly 50+% overall WinRate players)... it was enjoyable and not frustrating... Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, The Reddit also "exploded"... one example: Leo "Apollo11" P.S. I just checked the "old" v0.8.0 data - they were SAME !

Hi all, I know - so we can compare v0.8.0 and new v0.8.1 for same ship ("Flint") ! Leo "Apollo11"

Hi all, The most excellent "WoWs Fitting Tool" still has v0.8.0 data in! https://wowsft.com/WarshipStats?nation=usa&shipType=Premium&ship=Flint&moduleN=11111&commander=default&camo=true&s0=PCY001_CrashCrew_CV_CA_CL&s1=PCY003_AirDefenseDisp_US_Cruisers_Atlanta&s2=PCY006_SmokeGenerator_US_Lvl_7 Leo "Apolo11"
