didnt we already have Ork skins ingame? oh no wait that was that post-apocalyptic battle royal schmoz... but they looked exactly the same xD

but yes of course the first thought is "the game must be bugged, cant possibly be me making a mistake, let's post that on the forums right away"...

the USN doesnt even HAVE a consistent concept for their line outside of "hey look we've got decent AA lol", the French concept is "EVERYTHING IS DIFFERENT EVERYWHERE (and also we sometimes like to go kinda fast)", the RN concept is... yeah... toasty shall we say?, the IJN concept is "we would like to be good at longer ranges but we're still BBs so that kinda stinks...". Meanwhile, granted, the RU BB's concept does appear to be "STALINIUM IS BALANS LOL", but still... when it comes to concepts, at least the Germans are consistent...

lemme guess, you've played Rogue Trader (the RPG), but never the actual granddaddy of 40k space combat, Battlefleet Gothic (the Tabletop)? Saying "controlling multiple ships doesnt work" is just plain ol' bollocks, whatever you may think of BFG:A and its AI... And I don't think we have to "fear" any 40k skins getting into Wows - their setup just does not match at all. For one, they dont have turreted main batteries - they're essentially broadside combatants (with the odd sprinkling of additional dorsal/ventral turrets, sure, but those tend to be supplementary weapons), which is where a lot of the tactics in BFG actually come from. Meanwhile, there are already two 40k tank skins in WoT (and they're quite decent imho), and at least some of the aerial designs would even fit into Wowp quite well (probably not a Thunderhawk, but even that could show up as an Attack Aircraft I suppose) if GW are interested in that zombie of a game xD which has... what exactly to do with their livery? Even the Imperial Navy can't match the Astartes when it comes to the size of the iconography on their ships...

it's called "Humanity, by and large, being a bunch of idiots with no clue how to interpret what's going on in the world around them"

skipping bad/boring ships in a line, unlocking modules... not really much interested in most of the FreeXP ships

another factor to consider is - in a traning room, your target sits completely still, while in battle it's (hopefully...^^) moving. That will cause it to roll, significantly so in a hard turn (which seems likely in a brawl) - radically changing which armour plates you'll hit and at what angle. Particularly noticable on german BBs that tend to negate their turtleback by showing that juicy weak red underside.

and you are also sure you havent gotten the rewards? because, you know, stronk wargaming interface - the chances of progress on missions apparently getting stuck has to be something like fifty fifty...

with only six barrels (image is clearly two triples), you'd have to expect a 24s reload, probably even shorter... that, or Slava dispersion because lol that got such good feedback from literally everyone...

I'm almost tempted to head on over to the NA forums and dig out a few posts from around when the NA LUL meme was born (first server clash I think it was, when we trounced them 8-1)... Was a very convincing win for NA yesterday, and GG WP to them, but spinning such minimal evidence into a "NA is better than EU, EU is too campy" narrative is... preeeeeeetty outlandish if you ask me

it is based on relative speeds - just weirdly...

I mean, if that happens as planned, you'd have to be quite the dolt to take it seriously at all... so why worry about balance? just play it for fun if its fun, or ignore it if it isnt (which would also show WG all they need to know^^)

slightly different on my end - the game window closes, but the process continues to run (at full ram usage)... so Sum Ting Wong, as they say in China (pleasedontbanmeforthat)

oh come off it and quit yer whinin'... the one time there is actually a little bit of challenge in one of these operations (and it's even bloody CALLED SUPER HARD FFS) and already the moaning begins

something that very few DDs have these days - but Kidd is among them. At least as long as you're not up against very good players (which are very rare) or T10 CVs (which are also not all that common these days)... I'd say Sims' XP modifier is good enough that it's at least on par with the two T8s (but I dont really have any data to "prove" this)

ordinarily, looking at your battle count, I would have said dont buy any of them for a long time yet - but you're doing very well in the Benson, so you'll be fine in other high tier DDs as well I guess :-) Problem is - none of these ships really play much like the Benson does, with its massive amount of flexibility. Sims might be the closest, and still has its ridiculous XP modifier so makes for a great trainer, but it's mediocre at best as a torpedoboat. And yes, credit earnings at T7 are a bit lower than at T8, so there's that too... Lo Yang gives up a lot of torpedo power as well as AA to get its (admittedly very powerful) Hydro, but with an 8pt captain you do not belong in high tier battles as a Destroyer one bit, so you'd either have to play the regular line a good chunk more, or use Lo Yang in coop (which it sucks at). Kidd gives up even more torpedo power (one of, if not the single worst torpedo DD at T8), but gets even better AA than the Benson for it as well as a ridiculous amount of staying power through its heal. Very very good boat, just a lot more specialised than the Benson - and can feel very powerless against some targets because of how much you suck at torping... Overall, I'd have to consider the Benson itself the best out of these ships for a relatively new player, just because of how flexible it is...

you sure? I can think of plenty of candidates...

okay... fair...

not sure how much sense any direct comparison (in the sense of "which is better") would make, considering one line is Heavy and the other are Light Cruisers, so they're drastically different in... well everything from rate of fire to ballistics to penetration to targets etcetera

it's all of two clicks to change it back... I think it's more than fair that they want to show off the new shinies that their art department has created (although I personally find the new Italian port quite disappointing, but that's just me), and can expect that minimal amount of effort from their players...

except that exists and is called Colbert, essentially... with the added benefit of actually having a highly amusing gimmick in the speedboost.

Roon in particular should be able to stand up to them pretty well - HE pen, good at kiting/angling, boatload of HP, decent armour and good citadel... meanwhile, what's a Buffalo supposed to do (unless it's lucky enough to get the flank)? Can't even claim its now niche because Alaska has the exact same radar...

offtopic, but... what in the actual name of... how do you even... post on a forum and get a bloody scroll bar lol

feels Path of Exile (steam version) man...

nine Smolensks rush B gogogo? But you can probably look at KotS and get a good enough idea - something like those lineups minus one cruiser or DD
