Welcome to the world of commercial product and marketing. But can you be more specific about what ships you have in mind?

Hello fellow captains. Here is a good game with Jean Bart showcasing how to take advantage of the undefended flank of the enemy fleet. Subtitles with some explanations are available, or you can just enjoy the battle.

I find London to be very strong and fun to play in contrast to the last "free" Italian cruiser that was bundled with the PR directives. The guns are punchy, it has heal, hydro, torpedoes and a long smoke. Nothing particularly strong, but also nothing is weak on this ship.

If only there was some website where you can check other player's statistics including that one.

Your target for auto-pilot is too far to the side of the ship, it is not possible to make this tight turn in reverse. If you want to go backwards, choose a straighter path. I think the auto-pilot works well in this regard.

I enjoy Ranked more then Random battle, I prefer games with smaller teams. I don't mind the potatoes in Ranked, and it baffles me why some people expect the same players they see in Random battle to suddenly become progamers in Ranked. Too bad you can't play Ranked after you rank 1, I would continue to play it over Randoms.

Secondary build will bring you more troubles than fun in tier 10 with GK in Random battles, but in other formats it can be competitive. With regular survivability build GK is decent in randoms - fire prevention, concealment, superintendent and 15% less fire duration skills.

I had very good games in Thunderer and Des Moines (legendary upgrade farming). I would pick Smolensk, Stalingrad, Des Moines and Venezia as competitive cruisers, and pretty much every t10 BB is playble, with Grosser Kurfurst, Conqueror and Republique being my least favorite because of their poor accuracy.

I have him specced for BBs and currently on Conqueror/Thunderer. Reason - I like the blue shell tracer. The talents are OK and trigger often in Random and Ranked battles. I don't think he brings anything particularly useful to the table, and I would have liked the turret traverse skill to be the improved version.

The experience reward is heavily weighed towards doing damage and sinking enemy ships. Then the DD stuff (cap and spot) gives some reward, but in general anyone that did reasonable damage to the enemy team will be ahead in score. The combination of DD stuff and doing some damage to enemies will result in you being n1. Same for potential damage and BBs, it doesn't mean anything to the score.

Next on list: RU Battleship Smirnoff

AP rockets sounds like an attempt to address DD vs CV issues. AP would overall do less damage and not cause fires and splash damage. What's up with the all the reaction threads.

Not worth 1000 doubloons or 175k coal. I would spend the tokens the other items.

Has t10 battleship but doesn't know he can overmatch cruisers, doesn't surprise me. Try putting some passive bots in training room and see where you can get good damage on target ships.

My legendary upgrades farming is going fine in ranked battles so far. What I don't like is the amount of flaming in the game chat, sometimes well exceeding the regular banter.

Maybe you removed some key bind - "h" key or "tab" key?

Send a ticket when possible describing your issue. If you are not cheating, there may be a way to find the reason behind this. If you are, well, I'm happy the system works.

Fire chance in port is "base" chance, which is reduced by a percent based on target ship tier. I recall something around 50% reduction for t10 ships, and less reduction for lower tier ships on stock hulls. Shell shatter has 50% fire chance reduction, so expect less fires on BBs except the superstructure. And, if something is already on fire, you have 0% chance to set it on fire, so you can get 100 shell hits with 0 fires. Your 2-3% fire chance results sound about right.

Taken from one of my daily games with Albemarle - the safe way to kill a bbaby, and the not so safe one.

I think the 12km vision reduction changes things a bit. DDs are not so favorable, also Smolensk suffers a little in 12km range because she in every radar range.

"Heavy" cruisers refers to main battery caliber, not the armor or displacement. In my experience they are just as easy to citadel as the average cruiser by a battleship, but a little more sturdy against cruiser caliber shells.

The salty price of 175K coal demands a coupon.

To earn credits, you need a combination of good base credit bonus and ship strength. My recommendation is Jean Bart for BB, Smolensk for CA. Ka-Ching!

For credits look at tier 7 and tier 9 premiums/special ships. Premium time and 20% credits flag make things better.
