Only up to 3 so far, Cunningham, Yamamoto and Kuznetzov. Are grinding some coal but right now, im not sure to use it to buy Gunter Luchenz or Pommern?

This! I'm for one would love to see an indicator for when some of the new skills are active mostly because im curious if WG has implemented this correct. There are many things that are so unclear even before this patch (like spotting in general ... if I see a radar icon is it only radar or radar and hydro or radar and hydro and hard spotting..?). Look at Dazzle for DDs, it would be nice if I actually get something for those 4 captain points, for instance do they effect CV rockets and bombs as well or only HE/AP/ZAP? Because a Carriers blasting me for 50% of my HP in one rocket strike is kind of an issue. I would love to see an indicator that the game itself actually reacts to something should be different even for a short duration because otherwise I wouldn't really rely on this working as intended .... considering WGs track record

Im sorry but I dont understand your question? How much XP for a "full" captain back in CBT? Im not sure actually.... and they werent even 19 points back then, right? Like 15?!

Yeah I know, but it was the second part I ment. Before I had to decide between having Cunningham on Thunderer for the extra heal and for the faster reload OR on the Daring for the extra consumables and extra speed (2 floods). now I can just Zip him between 5-6 different stron Premiums and Daring and have special build on them all. British is specially good for this I think with Thunderer, Nelson, Belfast, Cossack etc etc. Altho Russia is quite good as well but there im missing a couple of Premiums like Gremmy and Stalingrad. I will probablu use Kuznetzov on Petro, Moskva, Smolensk, Kutuzov and the trollboat at T5 Yamamoto is probably my second pick. I was first considering the Swedish bloke since I play Halland most due to CV Meta. But Yamamoto I can actually play on all my Kraken mosters like Shimakaze, Asashio, Kamikaze R and then also on Atago.

Your in the wrong game. Where have you ever seen evidence that WG wants to promote teamplay? Dead eye skill sniping from 10 line. If you do that you wont find any skilled player playing in ranked, its the only redeeming quality for all the Potato teammates you end up with. If you still play good and actually try to win instead of suiciding while sniffing glue then you will atleast save a star when you loose. And if there is actually 3 semi-decent players on the same team then those 3 will compete to play better then the other to get to save their star, which is great for the team and good for Ranked in general. Loose save a star then you have nothing to play for, unless you win the gene pool lottery and get the team that wins. I save a star in the majority of the losses I get in Ranked, if I didnt I wouldnt even touch that gamemode. I would actually like to take it even further. Let the top 3 on both winning/loosing team get/keep their stars and get the bottom 3-4 players to loose theirs. In this way you would force players to play better (according to WGs XP calculating) and we wont see Glue eaters make it to rank 1 just because they invested 600 games to get there carried by stronger players. But I guess this wouldnt be so popular.

They havent dont it in 5 years since they introduced Carriers so I wouldnt hold my breath..........

Yeah, I used the credits option to get a lot of Elite Cap XP for credits. Had a lot of 10-12-14 pointers that I havent used in over 2 years and also more then 100 M credits. Also having a bit OCD im just happy to clean out my reserve a bit. Love the Recall button to just Swish my Cunningham between 5-6 different ships.

This is how I went and since I am a IJN DD Main and get a lot of Krakens and First bloods in my IJN DDs I have Yamamoto as captain shared between Shimakaze, Asashio and Kamikaze R. If you want any tips on playstyles of these 3 ships I have a sheiiit-ton of videos on my channel.

Also things like BBs secondarys even tho that might not be a huge problem after this rework ... My guess is NO! I dont think WG has been able to fix so every ammunition that can be fired at a spotted DD will have this effect for the first 15 seconds. I would be beffled if that was the case. So still no guarantee to get less damage and for 4 points?

Since I want to controll any possible engagements in my IJN torp boats I think RPF/RL has a great value since stealth and concealment is my bread and butter and being able to stay away from enemy gunboat DDs is golden. Other then that I always go for SE on my DDs, some extra HP can be a game changer in the late game.

I was wondering about this since AA been pretty dead for a while and then I saw Potato Qualitys video where he said the AA build might be viable for som US ships with good AA like Montana, Ohio, Vermont etc. I wonder if it might be viable to take AA build on Des Moines again or if AA is still broken.

I would never regard a purchase I done for lets say 60 dollars/Euros (T9) Premium store Premium equal to a T9 Jean Bart, Georgia, Alaska etc etc that I gotten for free by just playing a game I enjoy. But there we may differ. If thats the case then we should value all our grinded tech tree silver ships the same then? It is also a sort of ingame currency (XP that you gind just as Coal, Steel, Free XP etc etc), so then we should treat every change to every ship the same? If someone just changed a produkt I bought for 60 dollars/Euros I would be pissed, thats my point.

Im a DD main and its not worth it imho. To situational. It may help you at 2 max 3 times in a game but no guarantees? For 4 points? Better to take RL.

Seems like Smol out damage every T10 Dead Eye BB after patch. Havent seen T10 BBs being this useless, even damage wise in a long time. Shikishima ?? Vermont ....? NO? .... Yamato....? No.... Thunderer atleast .....? .... CV?!?!

Heres another one from 2 min ago. unfortunatly I had to carry 4-5 Dead Eye T10 BBs that wasent able to out damage my poor Smol. So still very much alive. And this is me havint to re-adjust to playing 16 km Smol after playing 19 km successfully for ages. 19 Km was way more powerful, but 16 km is still very strong.

This is a game from 5 min ago and I wasn't playing as effective as I could have done (many min with no damage), so its far from dead, will still be able to rock 250 K games in her.

Purchasing what? Wasn't Smol a coal ship?

One redeeming quality of the Captain skill rework...... I now have Legendary Halsey on my Des Moines, Alaska, Massachusetts, Missouri, Georgia and Somers with his special triggers I Have Yamamoto on my Atago, Shimakaze, Kamikaze R and Asashio with his special triggers I have Cunningham on Thunderer, Nelson, Belfast and Daring with his special triggers etc etc etc One thing I cant figure out tho, If I want to dismiss a 10 point comander that is just laying around for credits to gain some extra Free Captain XP to put towards my 21 pointers, how do I do that, and how much could you gain from credits on a 10 pointer??

What are your builds for Smol after update? Change reload mod for range mod for 16 km range (but I were already running range build so not much change there) T1: Last stand I guess... T2: Pyrotechnician for sure.... maybe drop Priority target? T3: Heavy HE and Superintendent for sure T4: IFHE, is that still mandatory? Im actually considering not going with concealment since I didnt run that on my 19.2 km range Smol. But with these new skille and the fact that im running legendary (Kutznezov?) on Smol since I never play my Petro or Kremlin, I could actually go Concealment and RL to bve more of a DD hunter and maybe proc extra consumables by getting first blood on their DDs (with our DDs support). Im not sure. Dont really consider 10% more duration for you smoke and hydro being that good, what does it give you 9 sec more? Also considering droping Priority target since everyone is shooting at a Lit up Smol anyways. So what are you guys running?

Conq and Thunderer both and as extra cream on top, if you use Cunninham you dont need to waste 4 point to get superintendent for an extra heal because you get one for free after gaining Witherer after 4 min of gameplay.

Thanks for that, I needed a good laugh today.

I know im not that active lately but is this time limit for campaigns a new thing? All the rest we have had all the time in the world to finish, right? All the ones from earlier years you can still grind and finish?

Its a good question and one that is pretty hard to answer, since they both are really strong and good ships. Whichever you choose you probably wont be disappointed. I have them both and I play them both a lot. First of, 2 completely different playstyles. Georgia is good at all ranges but she shines at close brawling/flanking. Thunderer is a backline sniper. Georgia is harder to master so if you are not very good at BBs and analyzing the situations, knowing when to push and when to hold back, I would say Georgia gonna be harder for you. Thunderer is easy peasy. You can stay at the back lines and nuke cruisers with your AP or just burn down bow in BBs with you HE. That said, im a pretty decent player and I have a lot of great and fun games of Georgia on my channel with lots of fun DD secondary kills, Krakens, medals, damage etc etc. Thunderer I have NONE!! I dont know if that boils down to me fitting better with the Georgia aggressive playstyle or what. Still I would say that Thunderer is the most powerfull and forgiving one, best stats on paper, and a sure place in everyone's port, but Georgia is just sooooo much fun. If you want to get inspired, here are some examples. Thunderer is also Broken A-F with Cunningham as commander since you get Witherers every game which gives you an extra heal. Also the most consistent and accurate BB, so if you are good at aiming.....

So the most boring and most underplayed DD line in the game gets a split and more boring DDs?! Good job there WG! Exactly what no one asked for ...... Ever! Why not release som more Krasny Krim clones as well? Targets "Light cruisers"......? So WG wants these shitty [edited]DDs to take on Woosters, Minotaurs and Smolensks in a gunfight? Shitty torp range Shitty torp damage Shitty HE Shitty concealment Shitty AA No Smoke And Shikishima turning circle .................. in a DD!!! GJ there WG! Why would anyone ..... EVER .... play this over Halland?? I really wanna know.

@TheWarJaC Do I understand the video correct that if you have a Legendary captain like Yamamoto you can switch him for free between Premium ships of all types and he will have special designated skills for each? So for instance, I can have him on that T9 Yamato clone with special BB skills then next game move him to Asuma with special cruiser skill, then next game move him to Kamikaze R and then he will have DDs kills? Same for Doe, Halsey, Gunther, Kuznetsov and the rest? Was it also talk about you could offer up some half skilled captains (like 10-12 pointers) and drain their cap XP to put it on lets say you Yamamoto to faster boost him to 21 points, or did I just dream that?
