I would just like to add that from tier 5 on the battleships get a lot better compared to cruisers for example. Ships like the Kongo, Bayern and Fuso become a serious threat for cruisers. The horrible dispersion from the lowest tiers is manageable now and battleships are able to delete broadsiding cruisers in one volley if rng is on their side. The safest "training wheels" you can use to get familiar with all the enemy ships are the IJN destroyers. There will be lots and lots of battleships in every game due to the recently launched german battleship line. As you noticed though, plane spotting can be very annoying if you end up in a game with 2 carriers. Just remember that planes also spot your torpedoes, so if a plane is hovering over you its pretty much pointless to fire torpedoes as they will be insta spotted for the entire enemy team.

Rather have more flags available like on other servers.

Pepsi: Cut down concealment, all she needs. New Orleans: Increase range and HP, Restore AA to 5km default range, maybe even slight RoF increase. Baltimore: Decrease turret traverse, increase RoF a bit Des Moin: ? (don't have it yet)

And insane seconday range when specced for it. Hydro is anoying but you can still burn them to a crisp with invisi fire. Not having any troubles with Benson and Fletcher (retraining Gearing captain so haven't played it yet vs german bb's)

Farming the fire starting mission thinghy in my Kuma, getting between 15 fires per game is no exception. Considering its tier 4, the majority is on german battleboats. Don't have any trouble with the MK or the USN dd's either. (Haven't played other cruisers again since german bb launch, as its world of battleboats out there)

Don't really care myself, but having more options is always good. If they can draw in more new players or keep existing ones while getting more revenue out of it I'm all for it. Some of the missions are fun to work on and give a sense of accomplishment, even if you don't care at all about the rewards.

Tier 10 is a range game, which the atago doesn't have.

The MK. I don't play battlesheep so derpitz is not an option. Between atago and MK I prefer the playstyle of the MK by a wide margin. Added bonus is that MK doesn't care which tiers it has to shoot, it is very competitive even against tier 10's. Am grinding both russian lines as well, having a premium for training / retraining purposes smoothens out the ride.

Got update with 16MB/sec. Tha'ts MB, not Mbits. Wouldn't call that slow at all, the problem is most likely on your end. My computer is 5 years old and certainly not the best or the fastest. Most people complaining about update times are trying to run the game on computers which were obsolete a decade ago. Can't blame wargaming for that :S

World of Battleboats. Guess I'll hop on the farm train and stop playing cruisers for a couple weeks. Need more torpedoes are OP threads anyway, it's been a while

Is this a fake video?

Gimme moar cruisers! Rawr!

Buff players, not battleboats.

Why wargaming ban uncle Jingles?? They should give him a medal!

Even if it did, concealment is more useful on pretty much every cruiser (save for weird ducks like the moskva).

Hope they price it exactly the same as the derpitz on release. Lots easy moneyz for wargaming.

Drop last stand for expert marksman thinghy. Myoko turrets are sloooooow, you will need the extra traverse speed to keep guns on target while maneuvering. It's a heavy cruiser, you shouldn't get your engine and or rudder knocked out frequently to warrant the use of last stand. That's more a destroyer thing. Would also reconsider getting concealment expert. Concealment is good and allows you to creep up on stuff or to escape non favored engagements. While myoko's HE is strong, never shooting AP is a mistake. The guns are pretty accurate, broadsiding stuff deserves a load of AP in their citadel.

Assuming it has the benson torps, the longer range ones are better in most cases. Some people prefer the faster ones to use in knife fights, but I think you will lose to much utility when focusing so much on anti dd. The slow ones are a bit tricky to guestimate the lead due to the long travcel time, but the detection range and reaction time on em is fairly low, which is good.

Not true for all other cruisers. The Kutuzov for example doesn't care which tier it fights, it does very well vs everything. New Orleans, not so much . Difference between New Orleans and Kutuzov is night and day.

AA works like an aura surrounding your ship. Stuff is either in it or not, regardless of angle or location. Hope this helps.

Islands are OP no question. Need to nerf their hp by at least 50% and drop their max speed by 10 knots!

The ARP missions might have something to do with it as someone already mentioned. For the 2000 hits mission I like to play my gunboats and the MK, which is a giant flamethrower. Not to mention all the atlanta's that go spam happy with these kinds of missions.

Play tier 8. /thread
