This is simply false. Prices range from a standard price of eu4.11 (Tachibana) to eu64.14 (Jean Bart). Anything above 65eu is a bundle, not just a ship, or a converted price (such as the Friesland for Free XP conversion, the Benham for containers in the Rogue wave event etc). Direct ship sales have up until now not exceeded 65eu, and thats for tier 9 ships even. Tier 8 ships stay below 50. Obviously, yet i thought it was good to clarify within the systematic for anyone who might miss that part. Comparing a tier 8 DD to a tier 8 CV leaves you wondering whats so special about the CVs if you leave the class aspect out.

Tier 9 free XP/ Coal ships standard cost around 63-65eu, period. Class independent.

Not necessarily. There is sort of a system in it. 1. Tier and class. 2. Specialty (if its a battlecruiser- that adds to pricing, if it has unique traits such as consumables or torpedos that are unusual for the line that adds too). 3. Customizability. Having options such as a different hull (Monaghan, Harekaze) or torpedo loadout options (Sims) adds to pricing. 4. Performance. The better a ships characteristics are, the higher its price would be- generally. This also means that generally an (in tier, in class) expensive ship leans towards being OP, though not necessarily. Note that the Sims seems to be relatively cheap considering this, but the Sims was actually buffed significantly since introduction meaning its a tad "underpriced". Current pricing estimate from me would be at least on par with Haida or even Z39. Z-39 is so expensive because it has the tier 8 module access, among others. Leningrad doesnt have too much going for it, but its a solid all rounder. Haida is a specialty ship due to its guns, smoke generator and special torpedos- even though it might not be the best, it sure is a peculiarity. Blyskawica is lowly priced because the Polish nature made it very unatrractive, and it doesnt have anything special going for it either. The one ship that i've lately been somewhat surprised by in how high its priced is the Le Terrible (i know frenchies, thats a double "the"). While it seems a good ship, 9500 doubloons makes it a very expensive tier 8, especially considering that it actually is worse in many ascpects that the Le Fantasque- for instance it has slower torpedos. For the Roma i'd say the reasoning is: - They simply screwed up. Roma is overpriced XD For the Cossack, one must consider that its pricing was set during an event (you could get it with those token thingies, i think Sourvereigns were the currency for it). That means it currency wasnt set fully independent, but the Cossack has great guns and stealth, and is a RN DD crewtrainer. Back when it was released, Lo Yang was NOT a crew trainer (no pan Asains yet other than Lo Yang and Anshan). Also, Lo Yang is both benefitted and hindered at the same time by uniqueness. On one hand it has hydro, then again- its a Benson with Hydro, thats all there is to it. A Cossack is vastly different from the Lightning.

Nearly a coherent story. Try again please.

IMO the research center should allow for accumulated XP on a ship to be used to re-research the next ship in line again. For instance i have around 1M Xp accumulated on Fletcher, so if i'd reset the Gearing line 4 times i shouldnt have to grind the Gearing, only the other ships of the line.

So i know WG has done a fundraiser for this particular ship before- quite succesfully if i recall correctly. Perhaps WG could assist that foundation in getting the ship to a dry dock, even if its just by loaning them money or something. Can make a huge advertisement of it in the US. On the other hand, 104 years is a respectable age, perhaps its just done for. Cant tell.

I can tell you that Wiki maintenance is not exactly a priority. An easy example can be found in the fact that both the AA system and the aircraft stats in the Wiki are not displayed in post-rework format. In fact, for as far as i can find. Now, i would like to tackle that issue but i might screw up half the WoWS wiki with that, so instead i think i'll start on a test page for it

IFHE penetration value should definitely NOT be changed. four points is a whole lot, so it must be a significant boost. The fire chance reduction can be bigger IMO, but doesnt need to be. The proposed changes for IFHE are very, very bad and should not happen

Press ~/ O (although i redirected O to be an additional mouse button, i think its mouse button 6 officially, but one of the things on the side). Thats all you need against most CVs.

Try doing that on an AA ship where you already have an inherent AA captain, such as a Cleveland/ Seattle/ Worcester captain. I use those with BFT+AFT on my Atlanta & Flint. Can do the same with a IJN gunboat DD, if you have BFT and AFT. IJN gunboat DDs are great plane hunters by themselves, but stick that captain on an Azuma or Yoshino and you'll be eating planes like crazy. or of course the US battleship line in the Missouri/ Georgia/ Alabama/ massachussets

Now this is interesting, cause i love the Kaga and think its very powerful, but ive always felt that that is heavily depending on the player. I currently average 111k dmg over 24 games, making it roughly my #1 ship damagewise. Why do you think its a POS though? Do you struggle to do damage? Lose aircraft too quick?

As a wannabe rework CV pro (wannabe, read that part pls), i havent played a single tier 4 battle yet. I got the Midway, Shokaku and Furious without playing tier 4s, and i wouldnt see the point in sealclubbing. I like high tier CVs, but honestly i understand why ppl play low tiers. I think its simply because AA can be frustrating at high tiers, and at tier 4 theres (nearly) nothing to worry about. However, the problem is only tier 4, and mainly because standar tier 3-5 ships are impopular. Tier 6cvs dont even see double CV battles often, and there are plenty no-CV games at tier 6. 8 and above have no 2-CV games and even have far more 0-CV than 1-CV games

Only possibility is a detonation. Youll have a devastating strike, hed have Detonation. Can be seen in team results and replay. This means your torpedos didnt do more than 17k damage also, since detonation is just added damage- instakill.

Thats a matter of perspective though. A CV is basically already sort of deplaned if it cant deploy a squad (of prefered choice) at full strength anymore. Also, originally rework CVs were meant to have fully unlimited aircraft, keep that in mind

Kaga is fine against tier 10, though tier 9 battles are a lot more comfortable. Really gotta stay away from clusters. Saipan however is pretty terrible agsinst tier X. Not even per se in damage numbers, but youll always be deplaned around the 10min mark, even if you switch squadrons well and have additional reserve upgrade. Still, i think thats part of the game. If you play aggressively you may run out of aircraft obvs. Real problem with Saipan imo is that even tier 6 battles can be harsh, so it uptiers pretty okay, its aiecraft just cant deal with AA to begin with

Currently CVs are in a fine spot. They are a strong class for good CV players, but a weak class for bad CV players- some exceptions there, but that goes for any class. For a strong counterplayer it generally still isnt too much of a problem if they run into a strong CV as they'll know how to use their AA, how to position etc. For weak & dumb players, you'll end up with destroyers that have their AA permanently enabled and that don't dodge CV torpedos. And in my opinion that is perfectly fine. Such players won't do good against any other class either anyway. The class is strong damgewise, though not quite as strong as before the rework, and their battle influence greatly depends on the CV commander- it is not inherent to the CV class itself. So IMO the current status of CVs is pretty good for both CVs and non-CVs, the only possible problem remaining being the spotting potential against in particular DDs. And that is mainly an issue because- believe me or not- the detectability of aircraft is so high.

I can teach you its secrets..... Although i still have to get a bit better at it myself

Nah mate, thats just the first couple of letters of the urssian alphabet

So one of the 3-pieces is in C-6-7-8. Assuming C=1, thats 1678. The other is E567, being 1567. Either should be the submarine.Problem is, i'd link this to a year, but neither years have anything to do with submarines (or with faberge for that matter). Next possibility for a year would be a two piece in the format a1a1, which are a2-a3 (becomes 1213) and i4i5. We don't know what the i stands for. Then there are four single-block pieces, which are out of place to begin with, so they deserve special attention maybe. i1 c3 j8 b10 i1 was a submarine (japanese), c3 was a submarine (RN) j8 could refer to an australian sub though it would be a terribly long shot IMO b10 was a RN submarine. Then we also have the red marked "A" and "8". Guess what, theres a submarine a8. Now to make any sense of that.

Hm, i received the 1,2, and 3 year patches- but not the 4 year. I'm a 4 year player though. Also, no discount coupon

I'd actually like if the effects of the AA boost (sector prioritizing) would be smaller, but only in a 1/8th circle for instance. In return the cooldown could be much smaller, such that you have to press ~/ O every 2-5 seconds if you want to make full use of your AA potential, AND aim that AA for each boost separately. The overall efficiency definitely shouldnt go up though. I do think the current system is a lot better than static AA sector prioritizing though. Also, DDs IMO have very significant AA since if you play a DD right you'll beat 80% of CV players easily

I own the Kaga, and the Kaga is a strong ship. It is relatively forgiving and has good damage potential- but thats the gimmick of the Kaga. However, it certainly is not OP. The Kaga actually has a lower damage number than the Saipan and only slightly higher than Enterprise, while both those CVs are more balanced towards gameplay influencing. The thing with Kaga is that it is more polarized. Poor players hardly do anything, good players do a whole lot in it.

Well i've been around since open beta, but i havent seen any bonus. Yet to come perhaps?

So, a mate of mine came accross this: https://worldofwarships.eu/join/5017_EN1?utm_source=email&utm_medium=loyalty&utm_campaign=anniversary Could someone tell me whether this is legit (it looks 100% fishy to me as it does not have the standard WoWS pages layout, clicking WoWS in the top left corner doesnt work etc) and how i can redeem these bonusses if it is legit? I shouldnt have to download anything right?

This is true though. CVs do NOT face off with eachother in general, and moreover the scenario that we'd be sketching here is a particular tier 6 facing off with a particular tier 8 carrier. Out of all carrier battles, generally no double-CV battles should happen, and spread tier battels are even rarer. Meaning maybe one in 10.000 battles we'll have a tier 6 AND a tier 8 in the same battle now.
