Aah good tip! Thanks! I will buy the "Premium" camo for Des Moines with my maxed out Shark tokens and then i can just buy all containers with my maxed out Eagle tokens when i get them.

I seem to get Kraken game after Kraken game in my newly bought Yugomo. I wish i could buy a second Yamamoto captain to put on this ship, its just to much fun!

.....and Musashi, Kronstadt and Alsace. I much rather see a ranked season at T5 or 6. So fed up with all this focus on T10! Ranked - T10 Clanwars - T10 Wanna grind any legendary modules? - T10!!! Shark Vs. Eagles event - Best value for your battles? T10!!! I love my Hinden to death but even that ships is getting boring when thats that only tier you play....

Great thread and post by OP. Im a DD Main and i also of course dislike all the current radar meta with all the new US cruisers, but its like all the other changes to this game, there are players who adapt and there are players who choose to continue to slam their heads against the wall. First of look at the team lineup. How many radars do the enemy team have? What map is it? How many caps are surrounded by islands where enemy radars can park? Usually enemy radarship captains go directly to a island near a cap to try and catch a capping enemy DD, so dont play into his trap. Wait a while, if you have long range torps try and find a angle on his position and see if you cant catch him of guard? Or just wait until he gets tired of guarding that cap and then you move in and take it. The "Rushing for the caps directly at the start" meta for DDs are pretty much dead these days. Either you adapt to the game how it is today or you will struggle.

You can!!!! Believe me you can! It is the last line you will ever grind. If you want a preview of what Hinden is capable of feel free to check out my playlist on Youtube @ Oldschool Gaming. That ship is a beast at long-mid and close range. only T10 cruiser i rush 2 T10 BBs in and blapp them while surviving.

Damn! I would pay lots of cash for another Yamamoto.

Then we need to adjust the quick messege system so you can choose..... 1. "PAPIIIIIIIREEEEN"!!! 2. "NO PAPIIREN?!" 3. "FLAMMENWAFFE"!! 4. "All go mid!!" (If you play 2 brothers)

Anyone heard why Yamamoto dont have a "twin"? Is it because hes considered to be a bit OP or is it just an oversight?

Eagles symbols USA, Trumph etc (probably popular on NA server ...) Sharks symbols oceans, vacation, movies and bad [edited]killers!

Is it the Weekend? Yamato going D on North and park there for 10 min? Check!! IOWA trying to sail out of the map all game? Check!! 2 Tirpitz suiziding into a cap first 3 min? Check!!

Had another nice Kraken game in Shimakaze where i had to carry a couple of BB players that proved to be "Minimap challenged"! A nice follow up game from my last game in the Shima where i got 3 kills, 134k damage, First blood, Witherer and Liquidator in the first 5 min!!! Finishing the game with 5 kill, 170k Damage, Kraken Unleashed, First Blood, Devestating strike, Witherer and Liquidator.

Omfg the playerbase i going to new low´s skillwise. Game after game after game there is T10 players that havent picked up one ..... ONE!! Piece of information or skill in all their games. We actually had 3 BBs circuling the D cap on North map where D cap is on C cap, and they where there for 10 minutes?!?! They didnt see a enemy ship or shoot at one?! Im trying to carry them in my Zao, but come on!!!

I totally agree. I never have the stumach to read up on all the intricate details in these events. I usually just wait for the local CC to make a video to explain how you should do. Its like the times they split up ship lines inte sublines. What ship should you own before the split and what ship will you get for it and what happens to camos, captains etc etc. Its a jungle to try and figure all that out....

I was just wondering if i somehow can up my game even further just by changing to a better sight? I watch a lot of YT videos from CC´s and streams where they almost seem to hit perfect every time and the sights seem to be on point at all times. Now i changes up the sights ive used a couple of times because i dont want to have to take a monster lead to hit my targets and i want as accurate information in my sights as possible. What i can tell, it looks like a lot of players use a sight where the gradient bar stops at 15, and what i can tell that is the normal sight nr.2 but i seem to get a whole other experience using it compared to what i have seen others having. I even tried the other option of sights (the ones that are supposed to change to your zoom?) My problems is that shooting at targets at range i usually have to zoom out a click or two to even see the target in the sight, and also i feel like i dont have any help at all frm the sight gradient (?) bars to the point that i almost only use my gut feelings to know where to shoot. I guess i just wanna know your thought about this and if someone else feel the same? And what sights are you guys using and why?

Had the chance to play the T9 Yugomo for the very first time, it quite a nice ship!

I agree! WG really need to put in pop ups with info for the different choices explaining what they do. I havent gotten a clue what half the stuff under the settings effect.

A question to you guys that has progressed quite far in this, am i right in thinking that the first stage is the hardest considering you have all the required flags, camos and Premium time?

Damn, i guess i will need to give Dynamic another try then. Of course its always better to just be able to shoot based on gut feeling and skill but at the same time i always like to use the aim bar as a reference then i aim Btw @El2aZeR , that small b/w animation you have down to the right in your posts, did you do that? Its pretty epic!

Just out of curiosity, why dont you play Republique? Im grinding Alsace right now and im under the impression that Rep is so much better ship? I have since the start pretty much grinded captains that has 2 ships each, 1 silver and 1 premium so it looks like this. 1 Cap for my Shima - Kamikaze R 1 Cap for my Kurfurst - Tirpitz - Sharnhorst 1 Cap for Asashio - Yugomo 1 Cap for Zao - Atago 1 Cap for Lo Yang - Youyang etc etc. My only issue right now is that i have my Yamamoto on my Akizuki (because thats OP A-F) but i still need a highpoint Cap to stick on the new T9 and 10 when they get released (because i will need both CE and IFHE to get them to work), so i think i need to start grinding.

Holy crap! You give me inferior complex!! I must play more. My feelings on the Hinden upgrade is that since the ship is so nimble and easy to dodge torps and BB shells the only fear i feel in that ship (if i can even call it fear) is to get firespammed by other ships like Conquerors, Zao´s and other Hindens while im spamming my fires, so for me this LU took away pretty much the only little weakpoint this ship had. And regarding the consealment, im already used to having the most shittiest consealment of all so i adjusted my playstyle to this a long time ago. So i almost only need to use my repair when i eat a torp in the future and never for fires! And with German hydro that doesnt happen that often, so for me this feels quite OP. The other LU that im interested in is the Zao one, since that ship has gotten so much more interesting to play nowdays with its 12k torps. Apparently you loose a bit of range, but since i almost always go with spotterplane for both my Zao and Hinden thats not that big of an issue. The Mino one looks pretty hilarius as well.

I tried the dynamic ones but either i dont understand how they are supposed to work or im just doing it wrong but i dont really like those. The thing is that i see a whole lot of Youtubers and streamers use the sight that goes up to 15 on the horisontal scale and they seem to be able to almost aim in the bow or the aft and land their shots while i need to zoom out 2 clicks from maxed zoomed in and still aim so i hadly even see the target in the shot to land my shots. So im also at the point where i pretty much guess-timate my shots.

Are you kidding me? are you already one with that grind? Damn, i play my Hinden every day but not even done with the first stage yet. Well, it sucks to get a bad upgrade after all that grind, but a tip is to watch Flamus video on the upgrades where he describes the pros/cons of them and i think he says that the Shima one is crap (and apparently Hinden is OP A-F). I know a lot of players have a problem with Flamus attitude ingame, but its hard to argue that he doesnt know what he is talking about. His reviews and recommendations for captainbuilds are usually spot on.

Unless i missread you post i have to disagree. Im a DD main and my issue is that when im radared, hydrod, plane spotted which happens quite a lot when you try and go for the objectives im not that interested in when im hardspotted because that i can usually tell with concealment values and if i fired or not, no, i much rather now exactly when im radared/hydrod (and which one of them it is, because its a bit of a different between being spotted by russion radar for 20-30 sec or Hinden german hydro for a couple of minutes) and i need to know the exact secont the consumable runs out and when im just hardspotted so i know if its safe to pop smoke to go dark again. Because usually when i get radared/hydrod i usually open up with my guns while kite-ing away because why not? If the enemy team are gonna dump all their ammo into me i might as well get some damage in as well. The problem is that after doing this for 10-20-30 seconds trying to get out of radar range with a slither of health left i try and pop smoke to disengage just to get the spotted icon to change to radar icon because i apparently are still inside retard-OP radar and i just burned my smoke to no use and are probably die. And i know many will probably say "Youre a DD, deal with it", but my problem is that in this game their is pretty much only 1 ship that HAS to do something ..... the DD! Because most games are domination sp DDs must go into caps and with all the hydro, radars, dds, cvs and BB/CA planes that can spot you trying to cap i just feel considering DDs already has least amount of HP and only ship pretty much without heal (mostly), its not to much to ask for to just know what is spotting you and for how long. Are you fucked or can you disengage with smoke. Can you hold out behind this tiny island for 30-40 seconds or is this gonna be 3 minutes? So WG gives all other ships a crap ton HP, heals, hydro, radars and planes, atleast they can give the DD players this!

I had a special case of this after the new US CA line came out. I was trying to get my newly purchased Dallas into a game and the game just kicked me out of 2 consecetive matches earning me mutliple afk punishes and banning me to Co-Op only for 15 matches, when i brought this up to support with error reports and asked if they could lift my ban they just gave me a "We havent heard anything about these issues so the ban stays"?! Because usually a player that plays the game almost every day and just spent a whole lot of credits and XP to buy a ship usually just go into battles to be afk in them ..... because reasons.......

I always do the same thing, re-do alot of the easy 1 stars task until you reach the end and get the special price and then you cant try all the rest to the end of time. Usually its much faster to re-do all the 1 stars then try and get a couple of 2-3 star tasks, specially in the latest editions. I managed to get a 2 star yesterday, something "Killing a german ship and end up top 3 i think in a winning game" but that was just dumb luck, the only ship i killed happened to be a really salty Hinden. So i dont even bother with all those tasks.
