Just had a couple of goes in it - ridiculously OP. The secondaries melt anything within 10 km. Amusing to play - took out a Bismark who cannot have had the secondary build - and finished him with torps. Felt dirty afterwards! Practiced in PvE first and got 132k credits!!!

My Belfast but normal Belfast camo. Have raised a ticket. Does it with all my ships - can only see flags, ships boats and propellers!! the armour viewer works!! I use a Mac so guess that is the issue.

Doesn't work for me! Ships are invisible!!

I had not realised that you had been playing at Tier X. Very unforgiving at that level. I have played 4 games and am waiting till I get better. I tend to play 3 or 4 ships only, all around the same tier - 7 - as this is a particularly pleasant level with favourable match making and much more forgiving. I run at a W/R of about 60% at that level which has brought my awful total rate (low because I played a lot at low levels without doing anything than having fun!) to about 54%. My graphs continue to slowly go up and I think I am now a relatively useful member of a team. I am too impetuous at times and my survival rate poor because of this but I try to keep myself in check a little more. Hope you can do something similar!

Unlucky - I certainly have had not dissimilar situations when in an RN cruiser and someone has pushed in front of me when I was in smoke and I fired before I realised he had blocked my line of sight. Luckily just AP and little damage done and apologies all round sorted it, but I do think you were a bit unfortunate - he must have used his repair before you hit him and so he burned to death - therefore you are a team killer and hence go pink. Go play 5 games in co-op and it will go.

One could argue that Scharnhorst is a battle cruiser - but I do take your point. The higher tier are more speedy on the whole but above tier 7-8, most seem to camp and the game is a bit, dare I say, boring.

Just had my first super container for some time and got 30 days of Premium - so thank you WG for a generous present. I enjoy playing this game, the only video game I have ever played for more than a desultory time and the odd goody like this makes it even more pleasurable. A really rather good Easter Egg - makes up for running into strangers 123 and friends a little earlier! LOL

I think you will find that what you meant is 'was'- 300 years ago! However De Ruyter was a great admiral and his namesake should be in the game. I am also aware that the Dutch Navy was based in Britain for part of the second world war and served bravely and very successfully, particularly in the Far East.

I love cruisers - battleships are on the whole great lumbering slow things with long reloads and destroyers are now easy prey as, as soon as they fire, they are then visible for 20 seconds and they have no armour. Cruisers are a happy medium - fast firing guns, quick and either reasonably tough or if RN, have a great heal. They will die in one shot if you show a broadside to a competent battleship but luckily, there are not that many of those around! I love the Fiji in particular - agile, quick, good smoke, nice torps, good hydro and great heal. Massively over powered even in the hands of a potato like me.

The only time I have seen a zero is when the server crashed and the game was null. Had some pretty miserable scores and the screen telling me I had not proved myself - the eternal shame of it! Usually when detonated when playing a DD!

Doesn't affect my play but makes the poster simply look like a pathetic bad loser. If I get killed by some good play, I will say so and congratulate my opponent and if has been fun, will compliment him. I don't bother replying to people swearing or using racist language but will simply report them for misbehaviour in chat. I then forget them. Very rarely have had anyone being salty with me - if I do something stupid, I always apologise immediately, which probably helps. I think the majority of people who dislike foul and racist language should just report and move on.

We are still charged for ammunition though so if the campers stay at the back and don't shoot at all, it will be cheaper!

Seriously? Above Tier 6 you see lots of RN cruisers - and because they are probably the strongest as they can fight BBs when in a decent team as they are harder to one shot due to the ability to deploy smoke. Which would you rather sail? A Pepsicola, Yorck or a Fiji? Even the Myoko melts against a Fiji.

Why is this ship so significant? - it looks as if it was not actually commissioned till 1956 which puts it very late for this game. I know it was started early and the Germans captured it and were planning to make it into a light carrier, but I would have thought it more useful as a premium captain trainer for the French cruisers in the form shown. The dazzle paint is actually rather good as it is historically accurate rather than many of the decidedly odd camos around at present!

I find cruisers more fun to play than the other classes. Battleships are too slow and destroyers too low in HP. Carriers are a different game and one I don't really enjoy. Of course cruisers are fragile compared to battleships but that was how it was. You have to think more and hopefully work as a team. Giving cruisers all heal merely makes to heavy cruisers small battleships. The RN cruisers are unique because they are so lightly armoured and the heal is a replacement for the lack of armour. Surely the real answer is to give back each class its original role - cruisers are DD hunters and anti-aircraft ships. To give BBs this skill has reduced teamwork and this is what should be addressed. By all means let BBs have point defence but not the umbrella AA that the higher tiers now seem to have. It may well be historical but this is a game and if you want balance, you have to instill it. In real life, countries could not afford to build multiple battleships and the cheaper destroyers and cruisers were in the ascendancy.

Just met Corvi in his Lexington - he topped his team score, but I am afraid they were rubbish. Just kept dying despite his best efforts. Not sure if it was this game or a previous one, but I got 7 reports ! Must be contagious!

Agree with you but if your opponent knows what to do and angles against the Fiji, your damage starts to radically reduce. Against IFHE on the Belfast, he will still suffer. However I think the Fiji is more fun to play - the heal allows a far more adventurous style. I am gradually improving with the Belfast but still have a better win rate in the Fiji.

Not very worried about this - free stuff for playing so not bad . Doubt I will get 800 coins but have 120 so far and just playing normally. Joined the Fire team because I guessed Flamu and probably Omni would be on that side!! I am clearly unusual in that I play this game because I enjoy it - if someone wants to give me stuff for playing it, great! I pay for Premium because it means I don't have to ever worry about silver - have 236 million at present and just bought Minotaur - lost first 3 battles though was top in one of the battles - really like the dynamic at Tier 7 - fast and on the whole friendly but great ships - the Fiji is everything I want in a ship - RN, fast, great guns, interesting torps, forgiving and lets me top the board if playing well. So getting more stuff for playing something I like is fine - if it were possible, I would even donate my coins so someone else can get what they want - I have a Fujin already - but I don't think there is an ability to do this.

Of course it is OP - I keep a 19 point captain just for her as IFHE makes a big difference to BBs trying to charge you. I am not great in her because I get bored sitting in smoke and have to move - Fiji is far better for that. But it is difficult to be really bad because you have so many cards. So low detection that you can play like a big destroyer - no torps but with smoke, radar and 12x6" guns firing rapid IFHE, you can melt other DDs in two salvos.

Detonated for the first time in months yesterday and also detonated two opponents , which is also rare. Maybe just thrown a lot of double sixes.

I usually compliment someone who plays well and carries the team and also for amusing chat. I also compliment forum users if I notice them. If the positive karma is disturbing you, I am sure we can all arrange to multi report you when ever seen!

Almost always use all 7 compliments each day I play - hardly ever report except bots and offensive chat - or people torping from second line.

Thanks to the containers, I have plenty of reserve spots so don't really care - on a Mac so it is too much hassle to go to the inventory but is it possible to sell reserve spots?

Seems to be if you are obscured by smoke in between you and the spotting ship or by an island. Not spotted in a Fiji a couple of times today when in relatively open water.

I saw a Fiji is the St Patrick's Day camo - very easy to see and kill. Looked appalling so I agree with your thoughts - Ocean Soul is also awful.
