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

Playing for fun - a question of philosophy?
olmedreca replied to Procrastes's topic in General Discussion
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.- 51 replies

New improvements to USA fighters. Terrible idea or benifit?
olmedreca replied to Tigdam's topic in General Discussion
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. -
Outrage! I can't farm T6 stuff with my Minekaze anymore!

The Imperial German naval flag, does it have a place in WoWS?
olmedreca replied to MrFingers's topic in General Discussion
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.- 288 replies

olmedreca replied to Tigdam's topic in General Discussion
It really just shows that devs have absolutely no idea how to improve US carrier gameplay in meaningful ways. -
Apart from Belfast, there seems to be another upcoming RN Premium: HMAS Perth
olmedreca replied to MrFingers's topic in General Discussion
I would have though that HMAS Sydney would be more famous. -
US AS loadouts are easy mode, it makes perfect sense that they are not particularly rewarding.

T6 French Premium: Battleship Dunkerque Disappoints
olmedreca replied to Pupu_prpr's topic in Battleships
Its stats are good, even surprisingly good, for a ship that probably requires more adjusting then your average run of the mill BB.- 241 replies

Japanese "special/hybrid" carrier line speculation
olmedreca replied to Affeks's topic in Aircraft Carriers
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. -
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.

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.

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
olmedreca replied to lord_darth_vader_bg's topic in Aircraft Carriers
Strife is only real way to outplay enemy in air combat, removing would just dumb it down back to easy mode it once was. -
Real ships, blueprints and upgrades, what kind of ships you would like to have in game?
olmedreca replied to Gnomus's topic in General Discussion
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
olmedreca replied to TheBigLanowski's topic in General Discussion
This is still somewhat clumsy solution, it would be better to have just a single button that switches between guns-torps.- 46 replies

Carrier players - when do you prioritise cruisers?
olmedreca replied to StringWitch's topic in Aircraft Carriers
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. -
The Imperial German naval flag, does it have a place in WoWS?
olmedreca replied to MrFingers's topic in General Discussion
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- 288 replies

olmedreca replied to MrFingers's topic in General Discussion
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.- 288 replies

PT 0.5.9 announced - starting on 19.7 18:30 CEST
olmedreca replied to daki's topic in General Discussion
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. -
US CV is impractical, any suggestions for improvement?
olmedreca replied to dillydoe's topic in Aircraft Carriers
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. -
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?
olmedreca replied to artistar's topic in General Discussion
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.
