    Sunk Ships Spotter Planes

    Launching spotter a second before death is absolutely vital for cinematic escape moment.

    Playing for fun - a question of philosophy?

    Obviously there is no need to tryhard all the time. That said, if you are going to YOLO suicide into enemy at start of match, then you are about as good teammate as merry fellows AFKer and BOT whom everyone loves to have in their team.
  3. People are getting too obsessed with IJN vs US here. In game it can be just as easily US vs US or IJN vs IJN. The ones who get shafted hardest by this change are US strike setups that have no way to tie down enemy fighters unlike IJN setups that can still opt for sacrificable meatshield option.

    Prepare for Ranked Battles Season 5!

    Outrage! I can't farm T6 stuff with my Minekaze anymore!
  5. I would note that Russian ships have actually 3 flags. There is also 1924-1935 flag which you can see then you give Izyaslav hull upgrade (maybe on some cruiser hull upgrades too, haven't played that line). There really doesn't seem to be any limitations on adding different flags except WG not caring.
  6. It really just shows that devs have absolutely no idea how to improve US carrier gameplay in meaningful ways.
  7. I would have though that HMAS Sydney would be more famous.

    An idea to make fighters more relevant

    US AS loadouts are easy mode, it makes perfect sense that they are not particularly rewarding.

    T6 French Premium: Battleship Dunkerque Disappoints

    Its stats are good, even surprisingly good, for a ship that probably requires more adjusting then your average run of the mill BB.

    A Campbeltown for free?

    Last part should be absolutely easiest for anyone who is not a complete and total potato

    Patchnotes 0.5.11 from TAP

    Gotta hope it is fake because all of those are just stupid.
  12. Oyodo seems impossible to balance, its guns are tier 4-5 while its AA is tier 8-9. Also I seriously doubt that there would be another Japanese BB or CL line, probably just some premiums.

    Accused of Kill stealing

    There are a few specific situations where going for the kill on target that your teammates are already focused on is wrong, whether you call it "kill stealing" or simply "being stupid" does not really matter. But this really only applies to CVs and BBs that have massive damage with low rate of fire, and depends heavily on situation. Burning CV with no planes, or low health spotted DD that already used its torps, are not particularly dangerous, while even almost dead Yamato can delete a cruiser with one lucky salvo. Also I have few times gone for such relatively impractical kills with my CV, simply because enemy fighters were closing in and it was only target my bombers could hit before their arrival. Withholding fire just to get a kill second before your teammate is criminally stupid in every situation.

    Manga? Seriously?

    While not a terribly important issue, having a checkbox in options that blocks all the anime content would be nice to have. That stuff does look aesthetically out of place in my opinion.

    Ranked Season 5 when?

    With tiers 9 and 10 I would expect problems with getting sufficient population to keep game waiting times reasonable.

    Remove Strife and get Fighters ability to shoot at ships

    Strife is only real way to outplay enemy in air combat, removing would just dumb it down back to easy mode it once was.
  17. My opinion: 1. At least half of every line should be ships that were actually commissioned before the end of WW II. Imaginary upgrades for WW I ships are ok for balance reasons. 2. Any kind of designs, cancelled ships, and ships completed after WW II are okay to fill the caps. 3. No complete fantasy ships.

    Suggestion to set up your primary ammunition

    This is still somewhat clumsy solution, it would be better to have just a single button that switches between guns-torps.

    Carrier players - when do you prioritise cruisers?

    Sounds like it was just a bad play on their part. Only good reason focusing you would be if you were only cruiser covering all the BBs.
  20. Well, do you think that current double iron cross design cannot be improved? Not saying that it necessarily needs to be balkenkreuz, even imperial eagle would imo fit better there then current one. Or just remove circle completely and have full cross like here: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f3/Kriegsflagge_Entwurf_1867.svg/652px-Kriegsflagge_Entwurf_1867.svg.png
  21. Kaiserliche Marine ships, which form more than third of all German ships, should have different flags then Kriegsmarine ships regardless whether their historical flag is illegal or not. If it really is illegal then they should just do some minor modification to it like they did with nazi flag, for example remove iron cross from top left corner or something. Also on somewhat unrelated note, am I only one who finds double iron cross on current ingame flag somewhat silly? I think they should replace the one inside the circle with balkenkreuz.
  22. Obvious solution would be giving full respec for all captains that have SA, while not touching captains that don't have it. Shouldn't be excessively hard to implement either.
  23. I wish there was a way to view CV stats per loadout. CV is all about its planes so each loadout is practically a completely different ship, especially in US line.

    German BB line !

    Unlike most I actually like Großer Kurfürst name. Whole naming ship after historical persons nickname, just like HMS Iron Duke, is pretty cool imo. Also Frederick William was practically the first truly outstanding Hohenzollern leader, laying foundation for rise of Prussia-Germany, so in that sense it fits quite nicely too.

    How long until we get the British FLEET?

    Archives claim sounds extremely silly as this game is not so excessively historically accurate anyway. Pretty sure that there is plenty of good literature available on British ships even without visiting archives.
