    Pre-dreadnought battleship

    Some friends of mine were on the ship that discovered the wreck of Danton.

    CV rework failed every test it was set.

    I am getting to enjoy certain aspects of the new CVs but the thing that kills it dead it matchmaking. Get T6 up to T 8 ot T8 up to T10 and you may as well just AFK. Its useless trying to attack anything

    Exeter's Last Stand. Part 3

    Fun innit? Nelson does that on a few cruisers. You can almost hear the 'WTF?!?' even without Discord.

    Winning Battles in Random.

    Trying to do the various Fly Strike Win/Exeter and suchlike? I know I've been targeting getting the highest damage or whichever depending on which I am on. Today's trick is seeing how many ships I can have fires on at once....

    Exeter's Last Stand. Part 3

    Same with Warspite. Its a crime to use HE as AP demolishes anything Although a secondary build yields a fair amount of fires

    Your Favourite CV: tier for tier

    The low tier ones were pants but for now: 4. Hermes 6. Ranger 8. Lexi 10. Probbaly Midway if I ever get there. 6 and 8 are useless when uptiered. Especially Lexi at T10. May as well just AFK.

    Your favourite BB: tier for tier

    3. Dreadnought 4. Kaiser 5. Bretagne 6. Has to be Warspite but I have a soft spot for Normandie 7. Scharnhorst but I have high hopes for Lyon when I get her (15k XP away) and Nelson is a hoot in the right game 8. Big Mammy (dem secondaries!) 9. Only have Lion and I hardly play her. Fancy Jean Bart but a lot of money 10. Only have Conq and don’t play much. I think Republic looks a good option.

    HMS Exeter Tier V

    I’m thinking they probably won’t do a CA line as such, just Exeter at T5 and Australia at T6 commonwealth with maybe a parallel County. Could possibly be boosted to T7 on the basis London was upgraded and give it Belfast type consumables.

    HMS Exeter Tier V

    Been playing Exeter a lot more these past few days and I have to say she is not T5 material even with the loss of the smokescreen. She shits all over most other T5s. I deliberately look for Emeralds and Konigsbergs to wipe out quickly. Only reason I can think they didn’t put her at T6 is they want Australia there.

    I got Abruzzi in a Santa crate at Xmas and hated it but I’ve been playing it recently and it’s actually a bit of a hoot.

    Your favorite DD: Tier for tier

    I like Lightning best of the British DD's. I have Cossack and Jutland but they seem much harder work.

    Bye, Bye, Shokaku!

    Its no better with Lexi. If I get up-tiered I just use planes as spotters and don't bother trying to attack unless there is a T8 destroyer out on his own. Matchmaking is killing it. I did actually get a game where I was top tier on Tuesday and I can almost see the point of the new CV setup. Almost

    Playing WOWS on a iMac

    Its it a USB 3 or USB C drive? I cant get Windows to boot on a USB-C drive off my iMac. But running off built in drive, Bootcamped, WoWS is very fast (iMac 2107 i7, Radeon Pro 560) and looks lovely.

    How'd the game of Minesweeper go?

    Same. Exeter beating the sh*t out of a Konisberg, kicked out, relogged and was taking 8 torpedoes...

    Key Mapping

    Am I missing something or is ther no way of remapping keys in WOWS? Things that bug me: I know this one will be controversial but I much prefer using arrow key than WASD. Having different key do different things on different ship - sometime's Smoke is U, sometimes T. Sometimes Speed boost is Y buy sometime that is something elee. There are lots of keys, why not make them consistent? Lastly and only because it is new in the CV revamp - it is so easy to hit F instead of D and sedn your planes home instead of doing a bit of a turn Anybody else?

    HMS Agincourt

    Seized forcibly rather than requisitioned. Some see this as contributing to the Ottoman Empire joining the Central Powers but they were already going to which is why it was seized.

    HMS Agincourt

    Could do a Boise/Nuevo de Julio thing with Agincourt/Rio De Janiero ?

    Playing WOWS on a iMac

    Same here. Gave up and Bootcamped Windows.

    LWM Exeter review

    Yeah, I’d rather have her as she was but uptiered.
  25. Yeah, early US BBs are so slow you never ahead of your cruisers...
