Gimmicks .....Gimmicks .....Gimmicks .....Gimmicks .....Gimmicks .....Gimmicks .....Gimmicks .....Gimmicks .....Gimmicks ..... They have a spinning wheel at WG headquarters featuring DIFFERENT RADARS - SUBS - OP CVs - AIRSTRIKES - MINE FIELDS - DOLPHINS WITH BOMBS - CLUSTER BOMBS - FLYING CVs that they spin a couple of times for every new line. So if were unlucky we get a DD line with CVs on their backs with radar.

Effin finally! Will try out the new boosters on YY until Kunming releases.

Ive been a DD Main since 2015 and I haven't touched that line .... sooo .....

I dont understand the issue?! Superships are supposed to drain your credits.

Looked at a couple of Flambass videos on that DD and it seems like an almost perfect DD KIller. Having Radio Location, high speed, funny button and smoke to disengage seems quite powerful. Having relative short range guns is also good (just like the Swedes), menas you go dark quick and take less damage. Must grind Black first, but this is probably the next one for me.

Didnt you get a 10-point commander with her? Thats good for at least the basics like last stand and conceal. The next points you will earn quite fast and then later on it gets more grindy.

Why would they be hidden?! I think that was just one funny example of how the game could look in the near future. Im talking more of 3 very active Hybrid BBs or 2 BBs and a CV Div that sits on coms and say "Well lets focus all on that guy (guns and airstrikes)" and then the next and the next, which would mean a super tanky T10 BB going down extremely fast with no counterplay. And now im guessing you say that this could happen in any 3-man div focusing on one guy, and it can, to a certain extent, but not really the same as 3 ships with both guns and airstrikes focusing you down and you cant angle to both guns and their drops so they will score massive damage in their perfect drops. And even if you would manage to gamer turn in front of the 3 and even manage to go dark and try and run away .... you cant, because they will just keep striking and spotting you with their planes and follow up with guns. There is a lot of other types of cancer divs, but all of those depends totally on someone spotting targets for them, they cant shoot what they cant see. 3 hybrids can cycle the use of their planes so they always has a spotter that can cover the full map. Also there will never be a safe time to use damage con, because they can strike new damage and fires any time.

Pretty much my motivation ..... also CVs is the future according to WG .... so do want to be the puncher or the punching bag?

Yeah, I got all that I could except for the Free XP ones, saving that for Gron..

Im not much of an CV expert but even I have gathered that Immerman is something of a shitshow these days. Malta is great against other surface ships but im not sure if its OP in CV snipes, for that I have gathered Eagle to be King, to kill an enemy CV in 3 strikes pretty much. As far as I know Eagle is way more powerful in CV Vs. CV engagements than United States, while US will be good in one hit strikes against cruisers. That said, CV snipe is always a bad idea ... why poke the bear? You crap on anything else, why pick a somewhat fair fight with someone, if you instead can have a lot of unfair fights against surface ships? If you start provoking the enemy CV he will probably out skill you and kill you. Just because you play OP CV doesn't mean youre immune to enemy CV experience and skill. So play smart and just use the damage pinatas on the surface.

Yeah, wasent hard to predict .... unless youre WG.... It will be a shitshow for tyhe foreseeable future. Only solution is end the game and play another one that bring enjoyment. Im looking forward to 1 CV and 3-man Louisiana div on my flank.... it will be amazing (said no one) Yup, exit game and play something else WOW 2023 folks! You won't see any enemys ..... but they will strike you over and over .... have fun!

Im 4 short of the Legendary commander and I only have 14 duplicates, so 2 short of completing the mission. Is it only the final reward on the Battle pass left or can you earn some more from any missions I missed?!

Aaah.... Im just like Jingles ... old and crap ... tnx for the remiinder

Im childish but "Da Wrong" Captain will always crack me up......! Its like those two twins in Austin Powers ... "Foook mee" and "Soook mee". (I see myself out ......) Shits and giggles aside. For me Jinans been dead since YY got its TRB, there is literary no reason for grinding that line with new YY. You can pretty much do all the same but with better conceal, better impact, and more rewards. Jinan is only good in 10% of the games when enemy team pushes right into you without any DD screening or any BB hydro. For me, my Jinan sits and collects dust in port and I will retire my YY when the new Supership Kunming comes and then I will put legendary captain on that, because it seems like it will almost be as OP as Jerzy is on Halland/Dalarna.

This is pretty much how I always do it. Even tho most YT videos is from unicums and SU, its pretty easy to translate to my own experience and ability, if it will work for me or not. That said you dont see that many Ägir and Azuma vids around...

I would say if you don't have Groningen you should probably go for that unless its a RB ship you are close to getting and you had your eye on for a while. Myself im not bothering with Azuma or Ärir, they seem quite meeh, but Groningen has some potential being a strong T9 BB (which if played right will bring a crap-ton of credits and XP. Im grinding towards the Groningen myself right now and im almost at the half way mark, spamming my strong Free XP ships like Missouri and Asashio. After getting the Gron you can put all your focus and Free XP into RB with good conscience. I dont think there will be any more Free XP ships in the future since WG does RB now instead, so this is like last chance. And I think you will regret NOT getting Gron now.

If youre interested in BBs I can recommend Ohio. Never really loved playing BBs but after I got that one im actually enjoy playing it often. Other than that I would go for Vampire II next, seems like a good DD.

Another little gem I haven't mentioned yet, thats just some extra gravy for the hybrids, you all know that fun and engaging game mechanic, Cyclone? You know .... when you sail around the map for 15 min and no enemy in sight? Doesn't effect hybrids as much tho..... because just like CVs they can launch planes every 90 to 120 seconds depending on the build and damage etc and just go and damage ships with those, so not even as effected by weather as the rest. They can also in Cyclone, just like in regular weather use the planes to engage a ship, quick switch back to guns and get a spotted well aimed salvo of on the ship even tho he is beyond 8 km away from you. So just like a radar in Cyclone .... only like a 22 km radar.

Might be totally true, but I think a lot of CCs say in their videos on the Kearsarge that its Montana guns. PQ maybe?! Probably someone else as well. Looked at a lot of videos before pulling the trigger on the ship.

So barrel length is an important stat now also? I swear to god, this game and all the BS numbers and spreadsheets. Probably the short barrel length that makes AA useless as well....

They say Kearsarge have the same guns as Montana. Now, I haven't played Montana myself but definitely been wrecked by Montana salvos in my days. So going by that I feel Kearsarge is a bit less. But at the same time I also wrecked ships in my Kearsarge from time to time, so maybe its just a US BB consistency thing?! I do decent but not Conqueror level of game in K, but as I said, its the battle impact with planespotting I think is most broken. I cant wait to get my hands on the T9 and 10 hybrids to see what I can make out of them. Harass enemy DDs and enemy CV? YES PLEASE!

Exactly! No ship move at any point in the game and no guns get fired. Its just amazing! Just a sky filled with planes. Thank god my prediction seems to be right. Seems their OP:ness will get balanced by lack of skill. Just met a really crappy Nebraska - Congress - Benson Div ingame and Nebraska sat behind an island all game and just flew his planes around and tried to strike me in my Asashio, kept on trying for 15 min with zero hits, think he might have damaged a module at one time, but of course since he was flying over me entire match keeping me spotted he didnt just ruin his own game but also mine. He ended up with 800 XP on the winning team...... And his div mate in benson lost a 1 vs 1 gunfight with my Asashio ..... great stuff. So, Nebraska-guy had an insane strong ship, a combination of both a CVs strike possibilities and a BB with its armamments and he didn't use either..... he was like a support CV I guess, just flew around and spotted all game. Still don't fancy meeting a player with skill in these ships tho. Looking forward to getting MY hands on one of these. Meanwhile I just play my Kearsarge.

Yes, because thats what every person that play this game will jump right in on, a contributor program. Like reading a 400-page manual before loading up a game. Im talking more like ingame mechanics that could force players to actual getting some skill (because that would be only way to make them do it). For instance nor letting players up to T10 or Superships or even playing broken class like CVs until they earned a certain amount of average base XP. Or not being able to play competitive like ranked until they actually know how to play game. But we all know there is no interest or money in that for WG so they throw out a program on the website and then its fixed. I have also tried to contribute by doing a lot of "how to play DDs" tutorials on my YT-channel, and there is a lot of other content on YT to let players know how to play but that doesn't stop them from "Just PUSH W" and suicide in the first 3 min ..... so of course the playerbase whine, its the only thing we can do to let WG know, not like they care. Go to any Rock star game forum and the only Whining you see there is pretty much when they will release the new GTA 6 game, wonder why that is?! Could it be a difference between the gaming companys? Every experience differs, also much to do with experience in playing CVs. I have minimal experience in playing CV but can still get a 15 000 + salvo into a broadsiding BB with my Kearsarge rockets. I know there is a difference between those and the new hybrids bombs but there is a extremely tight aiming retical on the new one that almost makes all bombs fit inside the hull of a DD almost, and there is videos out there already showing how devastating they can be. But my point isn't so much the Alpha damage on these bombs, but more the ability to spot any ship or dd anywhere, get a decent strike in with bombs (like Malta did even sideways on at a HALLAND) and then just follow up with guns while the planes still spot the DD. Its just broken A-F! You get the best features of a CV AND a BB in one ship. And since DDs are the biggest threat to BBs anyone with 2 braincells know what to do with their "airstrike gimmick"

Problem is its not much to give up, at least not in the Kearsarge. BB reload is usually around 30 sec and in that time you can fly pretty far and strike, and the second you start the attack with the planes you can switch back to ship and fire youre reloaded guns. And I can tell you that first game I get with a CV and a 3 man hybrid div against me on my flank, im just sailing as fast as I can over to the other flank, even tho im missing half the game because those guys with just crap on everyone. And its not gonna be hard to create those divs since its tech tree ships, no hard to get premiums. Also loosing out some damage output doesn't do jack sheeeit if you instead spot and kill the enemy DD which in most cases will turn into a victory. And of course damaging/killing a DD gets you WAY more rewards the nchipping of some damage ona 100 K BB. Same here, have zero interests in stats, they dont tell the full story. Im only talking about my own experience playing Kearsarge. Problem is they can tho. You use you planes to spot, start the attack run with the planes on whatever ship and the quick switch to guns and shoot a well aimed salvo while youre planes still spot the DD. So you are really a CV AND a BB baked into one. Portabel radar wherever on the map and the ability to strike it twice in one go, first bombs then guns. Look at the Malta video above, that is how I play my Kearsarge.

This is pretty much what im talking about, video starts at the airstrike. And by the way, shitty sideways on drop on a Halland ..... a Halland, the most powerful AA ship in the game and then quick-switch to guns and BOOM, Halland dead. How much chance do you think other, less AA DDs will have? As I said, not really hard to pin point a enemy DDs position in super fast planes in a game with no AA. At start of the game you KNOW where they are heading and late game you use experience and last spotted location on minimap, then when you just close to him you know because your planes get spotted and then you just do a quick circle search. Load the HE and and launch your planes. And of course late game all DDs has ran out of smokes....
