Though of course you can get a 19 point captain by just converting XP - not looked to see what sort of ridiculous price that would be, and you will have to have played a bit, but money can buy you almost anything - but not JD!

To be fair, the French have little reason to love the Hood.

Thought mine would be the Belfast or Fiji = both have just over 2.5Million However the largest was Atlanta with nearly 3.2 million - clearly a pleasure seeker! Or masochist!

I really like the Hood. One of the most beautiful ships built, the biggest ship in the RN for many years and a tragic and likely preventable end, but brave to the end. I don't really play BBs, as they are on the whole too slow and i get bored! But Hood can shift a bit and the AA was hilarious at first!

I have had 53 detonations - and mainly DDs if recollection is correct. Just part of life's rich tapestry!

It always strikes me as illogical to give blatantly OP 'reward' ships - the Flint and Black for example. It would be far more logical to give a hard to play but interesting ship which no-one else gets as this would be a challenge and also not be game breaking.

Just met Eliastion - very frustrating game - a Fubuki and I went to C on Trident, met a good part of the opposition team but with aid from a couple of the team, chased them off. Meanwhile, Eliastion had found and killed the enemy Hiryu, though must have died in the process. Unfortunately our CV seemed to have an AS set up (he had killed 30 planes whilst the Hiryu was alive) and did very little following this. I supported B, so we had two caps and then had to hunt down the enemy DD who had snuck up North clearly ambitious to try the CV killing tactics. Got him eventually but my Fiji then became embroiled against three battleships and the support seemed to evaporate - finished as last to die with 111k damage but rather a surprising defeat after a rather encouraging start. My fellow forumite was relatively vocal in his disdain for the CV driver so I hope my compliment will balance any reports he got!!

Have sent application - really only play solo though always help - mainly Tiier 7

Hilarious to play - have some of my best and some of my worst games in her. Used to be appalling in her but improved - much more fun when CVs around - had a Hiryu target me a week ago - Clear Sky with 73 planes shot down! However if seen, you are instantly targeted and you are made of paper. Guns are also small and the arcs appalling so longer range would be pointless. Always makes me smile - but not an OP premium.

Not as challenging or as much fun as the other collections but happy to have the Monarch camo. Confess to just using duplicates for many of the items - the 2 for 1 swap made this very easy. So thank you to WG and Happy Birthday.

I think it fair to say unlucky - but fair as you shold have seen him approaching on the mini map. However you would normally find that he could put the fire out, so unlucky. Hit a Yorck today who rammed me as we both went through a narrow channel and accidentally hit him with my rear guns as we both fired at the enemy we were chasing - luckily for me, he could repair and an apology from me was all that was required.

Yes - even if no damage, full cost plus price of shells. This means running away when battle lost is a waste of time - a brave pointless sortie shooting anything in sight will get you more XP and credits which will compensate your demise rather better - and is more fun!

Of course Emerald is OP - I have a 100% w/r in her - now you might point out that I have only fought one random battle in her, but this was clearly as I felt any more would simply be seal clubbing on the rest of the community so desisted. ( just so we are all clear, British humour alert)

I would! Earsdon calling!

The original Britons were probably Iberian and were a small dark haired race - they were pushed North and west by the Celts.

I would suggest bot submarines hanging around the edges of the map!

Royal Sovereign would be Tier 6 at very best - very slow and quite small so low hit points. The problem is that the Russians didn't really have many battleships and bringing out a whole line of fantasy ships will be changing the balance of the game as no doubt they will be staggeringly strong to cater to the home market. I would suggest a few well chosen premiums as are present at the moment would be best so that we don't get a flood of ships that ruin the game - but I do realise this is a forlorn hope. Please can we have some French and Italian ships first though.

I have a Fujin - hilariously OP so even an idiot like me can do OK in it. Just look for radar cruisers and avoid them - never go closer than 5.8 km and spam torps - especially good at present!

Play some Tier 7 - it is the most fun tier - less camping and more forgiving so less likely to be instant deleted if you make a mistake. On the DD front, I like the Japanese DDs as they are very stealthy and devastating especially if BBs sail in straight lines - which they still do a lot! Division up with someone as well - your tactics and stats will both benefit. But have fun - it is only a game!

Fought a KGV last night in my Fiji - any angling by him resulted in all my shells just bouncing - in total had 240 hits in game and 100 bounced. HE obviously not an option. Tried plunging fire, no use.

Actually the main problem for DDs is that the CV sharks are also circling - and some of them are actually quite good and stick a fighter squad over my Fujin.

You are a very bad person!

Of course we do pay for ammo already - something that some people seem to forget about when they shoot islands at the start. However paying doubloons for special ammunition would be a step too far and would certainly stop me playing. Shame as I have just bought a new computer specifically for this game as my iMac simply won't work anymore, but paying for every shot or being destroyed simply because someone has more money that sense would ruin the game. I do pay for Premium time as I never have to worry about consumables or silver and quite frankly can afford it, but that does not materially affect anyone else's game. Shooting with gold ammo definitely does

If radar really worked like it did in real life, it would be on all the time. Even with blind areas, this would be much more powerful. There would also be far more ships with radar. The present arrangement with very limited time on radar and a long cool down seems reasonable for what is an arcade game. I do agree however that radar equipped ships should be present on either both sides or neither. We had a battle a week or two back with two Belfasts against no radar cruisers at tier 8 and it was a roflstomp. I was in one of the Belfasts and it just seemed unfair. I know that sometimes this can be countered but it requires a good brave player, and these are at times a bit rare!!

Go and play low tier co-op for a few games and de-pink yourself. Good necro though!
