Imagine Art department running everything over at WG. Imagine the balancing. Imagine the events. Imagine the ships.

I think I may switch and try this out. Just wish there was a bit more viable and good options in the cruiserbuilds.

Aaah, that makes sense.

Dumb question (drinking a barrel of wine......) BC? I just feel its just such a waste of point to use for SE? Its like a BB half pen and you lost 3500 HP. But as I said, most cruiser skills just feels like waste of points. WG, is it possible to transfer unused cruiser points to my DD build ......? Yeah, so much THIS!!! Is it viable? Ran it back in the day but cant really remember the pros and cons about it? Guessing you get immune against Dead Eye Thunderer HE spam?

This is from my Hindenburg game yesterday. This is from my Smolensk game yesterday. Of course you can always go for Conqueror or Thunderer. Or you can always NUKE a full HP Atlanta in a half dead Akizuki with 15 Citadels in 7 seconds. Guess Atlanta didnt get the memo that he was a DD Killer.......

Considering this claim comes from No Zoup I wouldnt make much fuss about it. He says his Discord so im guessing its like 3-4 guys that said they will leave and now its just a fact for him.

I actually feel like I loose knowledge about the game when watching his content. He makes Jingles seem like an expert on the game mechanics and how to play. His channel should have a Warning sign for new players.

On low caliber cruisers like Smolensk, Atlanta, Colbert and the other Atlanta clone (cant remember the name...)? I mean they should synergize somewhat, right? Better pen and higher alpha? That said you kill of your fire chance a whole lot. Or is it more viable to just go for Heavy HE/SAP and maybe Pyrotech to build for more fires?

Im running range build +20 km on my Hinden and I take Top gunner (I think), the one that gives you improved reload when spotted. So it should be better to go for Heavy HE and Pyro then? Cruiser skills are the ones I struggle most with. There are not so mandatory builds as in BBs and DDs. In some cases, I feel I just take something even tho I don't really care that much for it, just to use up the points on something?! I think the old cruiser skills was SOOOOO much better than the new ones. I guess Kutuzov can be counter with these ships as well.

What I mean is if WG would make the first 3 visable and then random one by one they would probably get a whole lot of ore customers/money. But as the "lottery" is now I think about 95 % of the playerbase see the first crappy box and just go "Naaah ....scrreeeew it!" which means WG uses time and money to create a thing that probably not gonna net them much money. If you saw that the second or third box actually had some great gods in it players would probably buy the first 2-3 to get it (which means WG gets their investment back and more) and probably even gamble some more because they feel good about actually gotten 1 decent box. See what I mean?

I just starting to play Italian cruisers and started with Venezia and I usually get 6-8000 salvos at bow in or aft in BBs, if they open up broadside i can get 10-12000 salvos if my aim is correct and that is before the latest patch. They are pretty strong.

That could be a good deal. I got the shitty first one with 5-600 tokens and some flags. If I were WG I would at least make the first 3 visible just to tempt more into buying, but that said I guess it would only shine a light on the shitty chances you have to actually get something of value.

Well, there is one HUGE counter, which is also the HUGE counter to everything in WoWs and thats that Carrier. A carrier can kill any remaining DDs on the other side if he feels like it. If there is no carrier the DD team can still loose if they are complete potatoes and just suicides. No DD, no matter how superunicum can defeat 4-5 ships alone. Keeping your DDs alive wins games and that why its baffling to me that you still see no one protecting their DDs or even trying to shoot spotted DDs or radarcruisers.

Yeah, I often wonder about this model WG is spinning these days? Maybe im just to smart with my money but I wouldn't try any combos either if the first one wasn't any good. And if the first one was good and second one meeh I would probably not buy that either. It seems like this model is really the Peak of WG RNG lottery.

I also learned the same way, by watching the better players YouTube. The ones I often view is Flamu, Flambass and Potato Quality. If you are trying to learn I would stay away from No Zoup.

I want some buffs for Smolensk, it is really starting to underperform. So can we get 23 km range and 2 sec reload, and maybe radar??

Do you have to watch every EU stream to get the drops or is it limited?

Will never pay for anything regarding WG anymore but will take whatever I get for playing for free. Will the Italian BBs be OP with their SAP? Anyone knows?

Aah ok, im guessing its from NA then so maybe we should see the mission tomorrow after patch?! *Edit* "Gives 5 part Mission for 100 Tokens."

Thanks! Do you know what it gives? Didn't see anything ingame....

Here is my actual build and I use the same build on Asashio, Shimakaze, Yugumo and Kamikaze R As soon as I get my next point I will grab AR and the last 21 point will probably go into floodchance even tho its not as useful in IJN DDs as it is in Swedish DDs where its almost mandatory. Dazzle seems useless according to Little white mouse and SIS is very tough on your reload so then you must be able to disengage in another way, like smoke. SE and RL is mandatory on all torp based DDs imho. I want to control the engagement. I dont wanna get spotted ever unless I choose to (for some strange reason....). SE I use on every DD I have, its just to good to not take. Thought I also might ad my other builds (and PLS give me feedback if you think I had a brainfart here) Harugumo, which I use my Yamamoto on for those great benefits. And her sisters pretty much the same Daring Here I dont take SI (same as on my Thunderer build) because im cocky enough that I think I will get them for free after 2 kills.... Kleber (pretty much my "old Khaba"/Zero fooooks are given build) 9.1 concealment but if I see you. .... You Die!! Halland Here I take the flood skill since these have the worst floodchance in the game. Lo Yang

I have almost the same build on mine exept I choosed to take Survivability Expert over Superintendent for the extra HP and then im not sure I taken flood and the consumable ones at tier 1. Think I went w priority target instead since I use my guns quite often for setting fires in my Asashio and Shima. I would warn you about Dazzle. Seems Little White Mouse did some testing on that skill and made the concluetion it was worthless. *Edit* Not sure now because i just realized I also Always take RL on my IJN torp DDs. Will try and chack in the afternoon.

Well, I would say there is 2 different kinds of players in WoW. Those who has the time to sit 40-60 hours a week and grind every grindy event on WoWs for free, Puerto Rico and all the rest of the docks, Legendary modules, RB etc etc. And then I would say you have the majority of players, who has jobs, families, other things in life then playing WoWs and for those you do have to grind a lot and play a lot but also use flags, camos, doubloons etc etc to speed up WGs grindy progressions to be able to sometime in the future actually get said ship. And that is a lot of time And money invested in this game, money that also keep this game a float (phun intended). But even when you invest some money into a thing like a video game its not that fun if that said thing suddenly morphs into something else. And nothing is "now and fast" in WoW. You can ease the pain with some money, but then you actually want that thing you pay for to stay the same. Would you be ok with something you buy just change whenever the company that made the product justy "feel like it"?

Well, that's not entirely true. You had to purposely invest a boat load of you free time 8and probably in many cases real money) to play and grind for those to get them. Time playing and grinding you would probably haven't done if these upgrades wasn't the final price. And then WG change it up. I can see his point but then again this is WGs entire business model these days that you can buy a product from them and in 6 month time it can be something completely different, and you wont get any refunds. In no other business there is such a thing and no one would ever just accept this. Its like you buy a Porsche and 6 month later its a Fiat, and WG´s like "Well, we looked at you Porsche and even tho our whole selling pitch and advertisement for it was that it was broken/OP and overperforming now we have looked at some internal dodgy spreadsheets and decided to nerf you Porsch into a Fiat and you don't get any money back. have a good day now ...!" This is why I haven't given WG a dime since 2018.

I would say same as Gopher regarding Shimakaze. Not worth grinding if you dont already have it. And it requires extreme situational awareness since you loose the torps in brown trousers moments. But the faster reload is quite nice. But after getting Somers I play Shima less and less. Will try out trollish no concealment (18-19 km) and Full DPM build with Henri Legendary as well, not sure its viable tho. Would like to get these kind of games again.
