The problem with this is that this change depends on your teammates being able in any way or form, which they arent in ranked or random. Saving a star is probably the only reason there is still players playing ranked. If you dont have that then its a really bad lottery if you gonna have any chance in hell to progress thru the ranked. Just look at a great player like Flambass. If save a star wasent a thing he would probably have atleast 3 more weeks of playing to rank out. Since it is a thing it just took him a long long time to rank out. This chance would only work if they at the same time deployed s system that forced all the window lickers down and all the skillfull players up in some way. In the last match Flambass played to reach rank 1 there was also a guy playing the YouYang that didnt know his DWT couldnt hit a DD?! Get my drift? This is what we are dealing with! Should I loose a star because I end up with a handfull of these guys? If i do everything right, capped and killed and still lost because my YY captains tried to torp a Shima? At the same time, should that YY player progress just because he happened to be on Flambass team? I would actually want to see more of this system, why not let best 3 on loosing team keep star and the 2-3 worst on winning team just keep their star but not win a new one? What is wrong with a system like that? It would mean good players reach rank 1 and bad ones wont.

So im thinking about what I should run on my Mino and Woostercaptain. I was looking at old Flamu videos since he usually talks a bit about the pro´s and con´s of different builds. Im trying to choose between the Manual fire controll for AA or the AFT skill for my captains, and the thing is in one Minotaur video he recommends Manual fire control and in a more recent Wooster one he recommends AFT!? Wouldnt it be the other way around since Wooster has on more double AA turret with 152´s and should therefore benefit more from Manual? The thing is I know there i a great advantage to take manual since it boost you long range aura, but when I tried to run that on my Minotaur I thought it was annoying to always have to stop shooting at enemy ships (since CV drops always come right in mid-knifefight) to suddenly start looking up at the sky and click on squadrons to then try and re-engage the ship you are fighting. just to a couple of seconds later when your plane-shot-down counter reach 6-7, stop and look up again to manual click next squadron and so on and so on and so on. With AFT I just need to hit the consumable key and then it on (sure, if I want more effectiveness I still need to click on them) but its not mandatory? What are your take on this and what do you run?

I went for AFT, I think that one is more viable. Will try and dinengare my AA in cv matches until he flies his squadron right over me and the second he detects me i will pop my AA. Thanks for all advice guys! I think that manual will be to much to try and handle mid firefight. Better to just pop one button and be able to focus on shooting the ships.

Aah, ok. I actually only seen maybe 3 or 4 ingame total. Are there so few out and about? Because if many players own that ship they should play them a lot I think. Do we have a number on how many there is on the EU server?

Given up on this gamemode long time ago. Its just to many problems with this they should adress. I always play a couple of ranks for the gifts but usually stop at rank 8-10. I wouldnt have the stumach or the resilience to stay the course. Its just not worth burning you out on the game or end up in a insane asylum to reach rank 1. I look at all the video on Flambass channel and if a skilled guy like that need to work that hard at reaching rank 1, well then ....... I would love to some time in the future own Stalingrad, but to put myself thru this its just not worth it.

Do you thing its a special reason for this or why did you start to investigate this?

I really see no difference between armour nowdays and the Hindy armour from before. You will always be capable of eating citadells in Hindy from all ranges (freak cits included), its not a Conqueror?! But that said Hinden will always tank and survive more situations then any other T10 cruiser in the game. Its strong at long range and its unbelievable strong in CQB which I show in one of the bonus clips in this video and also in one of the earlier Hinden videos. This ship strives in Cyclones and such!

Pretty good game in the Hindenburg even tho it ended in a loss. Also 2 bonusclips on how devestating Hindenburg can be in CQB in a Cyclone and also why I run Radio Location on Hinden in Random, Ranked and Clanwars.

Another good game in Hindenburg, also part 2 of my T10 tank series.

Tanked about 2 million potential damage on round about 10k HP getting focused by 2 T10 BBa and a Akizuki at the same time......... so armour is fine if you learn how to kite and dodge.

Maybe Zao is the greatest firespammer and kite:er? WFH happened to that Worschester?! Isnt that ship supposed to be OP? Have a great friday guys! //The drunk Swedish Viking

I cant really agree to that, sure Rep is the most feared Blapper in the Hinden, but you get one chance, and then you got a pissed of Hinden player that will focusfire you til you burn down. I would take a 1 vs 1 against a Rep in my Hinden any day of the week and 2 on sunday. There is no way a Rep wins over a kite:ing Hinden in my experience. You are actually right, they did "nerf" the reload for 1 sec, the reason i totally forgot about that is I consider that "nerf" the same I considered them "nerfing" the Khaba when they gave it 6 km torps, and I was like "Khaba has torps?! Haa, never knew that...." And thats the thing. I play really reckless in the Hinden, at many times in those vids I pull of maneuvers that would have been a insta kill in any other cruiser, but in Hinden you may take 50% damage, and then you heal 20-25% back and then you turn around and burn that poor soul down. I will show my captain skills below on both my Hinden and DM, and I use Demo expert on my DM, best choice in my book.

Many thanks brother!

Sorry for double post but I can agree to this one. Only BB ingame that seems to get those freaky Cits from all angles on a Hinden is Rep, not even Yamato comes close. Then again you can punish Rep back a whole lot in Hinden.

I would have to say its the few games you have in Hinden that is your problem. Hinden is OP A-F when you learn how to play the ship. And there has been no nerfs only buffs to Hinden (counting the improved HE pen and also the chance to unlock the legendary module) that pretty much gives Hinden the tank ability of the Kurfurst. I think you just need to give it a few battles. What I usually do is to play semi-aggressive in the start with a lot of long range fire spam and kite:ing. And when you get to mid-game you can usually go in and play super-aggressive and just blap BB left and right with fire and torps (since BBs has hard time citting you at close range). I have no ploblem kite:ing 2 T9-10 BBS and burning them down myself without them killing me. I can also chase a BB and burn him down but then you need to see the possibilitys for cross-fire situations. Hinden is the only cruiser I fear when I sail a T9-10 BB, Because I know that if im over-extended, and he is good player, then im dead if I dont get help from my team. I you feel like it I have a Hinden-playlist on my channel with a lot of around 200k damage/Kraken games where I take on a lot of enemy ships at all ranges and survive where you can see how I set up my strategy in this ship. There will be more "Hindenburg the tier 10 Tank"- videos uploaded soon on the channel.

I dont get players that never uses guns on IJN DDs? I use them all the time. In my experience they are perfect to set a perma fire on a BB that just used damage con on one of your torps. 1 or 2 salvos and you have a fire and then you go dark and kite away before he manage to get his guns on you. I do this with Shima, Yugumo and Asashio with great effect.

Started the grind today .....

151.000 Damage seems to be the magic number for the stock Kitakaze.

Had a less then Stellar game against a SCRUB division the other night in my Z-52. Thay had a great CV player and our CV player..... well.....was lacking..... 4 minutes into the game our CV had his squadrons still hovering over his carrier. At that point the red team had capped B point on Okinawa and had chased me of C point with thier squadrons. After 6 min our CV started to move his planes.......towards tha map border.....he was going.........going for the old CV snipe!!? After flying his planes half way around the map half our team finally convinced him to abort.... After finally capping C point I pushed into the B point and capped that as well with no support from either ships or planes. Directly after I capped i get pushed by a Des Moines on 4000 HP with radar running. While trying to dodge his and a Groz salvos i spammed my team in chat to just blapp the DM (at this point my entira team was in C with clear shot at the DM at 10-11k range and it took them 1 min to do so?!?! Im just wondering if you should give up the whole team games and winning games idea and justvtry and play solo every round and just farm damage at this point. Its just not worth it to give a damn.

I feel like a clubber those random times i play T5? Tier 1?! Why would one?

Was watching Flamus video on the new upcoming Kitakaze, which promped me to go into the game to see what amount of XP i had on my Akizuki (so i could research it the second it drops) and what my captainbuild is on the Aki. So i went into a match and got another First Blood and Kraken Unleashed with my Yamamoto captain. In this I show my build and captainskills for all these Yamamoto Kraken games. Directly after this one I managed to get Solo Warrior in the Asashio.

Lets just meet in the middle and say....nope! Its borderline broken OP with the new torps.

Yes this happens. I got also 2 duplicates in one crate and I also think one or more is missing. Have no proof of this tho. Next time I will take screenshots.

Just bought it with the missions and the flags since that bundle was on sale on not that much expensive then the single ship. Will be really fun to try it out in the weekend. Since players are performiong as they are currently in T9-10, it will be refreashing to play with atleast semi-skilled players at T5-6.
