and I'm sure you have a replay for that? I'd love to see it

if we go by "was meant to", the RU BB line is actually kinda fine... I can't very well tell you whether you find that playstyle fun, can I? I do like it, but it does at times run into the problem of not necessarily influencing the match all that much becaues while you do a decent chunk of HE damage to BBs, you're rather poor at killing DDs (especially on your own). They're pretty similar to the Germans - they lack the improved HE pen, very high HP and special Hydro, but gain a lot of speed in return as well as MBRB which can be quite useful at times. Armour wise they're pretty comparable overall I'd say, both can be quite trolly when angled. Until T7 the Russkies do also have that longer-range spammy playstyle, just with 6" guns and worse protection. Chappy and Donskoi have their radar to think of, so not necessarily that similar in playstyle, and Moskva's a supercruiser anyway...

my money would be on visual/interface bug to be honest, just based on how crap the interface in its entirety is, especially when it has to deal with multiple things happening quickly in a live server environment (hello two overpens for 10k damage and the like...). Plus, those damage number popups never seemed to even remotely coincide with the "Plane Damage Counter" in the top right anyway... might be interesting to do the same sort of testing but pay attention to what happens on that counter?

the same as they've already done in Belgium, one presumes... just make all purchasable containers unavailable there

simple answer - none.

still sad for my poor Yugumo - stealthfiring from within 9.5km if memory serves, so also comfortably within torpedo range... kinda the only claim to fame that ship ever had^^

weeeeeell, not in the period the game is supposed to be about (shove off Sverdlovs, Friesland etc lol)... fair enough And you're at the perfect starting point - the low tier ones are pretty dreadful, but the line starts to get good with Normandie at T6. So you may as well keep that in the back of your mind and come back to it in a month or three They're kind of the masters of long-range HE kiting gameplay - dont have the concealment and torpedo power of the IJN cruisers, but get speedboost and pretty trolly spaced armour to compensate. And triple sets of 9km torpedoes that can be fun occasionally. And the Main Battery Reload Booster that you're familiar with from the JB, with some tweaks on the numbers, starting at T6. Pretty strong line overall, very consistent in the gameplay they're good at - so if you like that gameplay, you'll do okay with every ship in there.

just going by the evidence we have, i.e. this thread, I'd say it's probably an immense help to the team to mute you...

of course it is a worse JB - it's three tiers lower... Its the preceding class, and JB itself is pretty much a fantasy upgrade of the Richelieu class anyway. It's unique in the context of its tier, which translates into vastly different matches (and maps, for that matter... and opponents...) i cant honestly recommend the PA DDs as a line to go up these days... there are some good ships, and there are some stinkers, but overall they're not terribly competitive these days. Have you tried some of the French lines? Those have some really fun and interesting ships, epsecially the BB line. Or RU DDs.

having now checked, the shipcomrade one hasnt been updated at least since the rework hit so that may not be such a great ressource anymore... Dunkerque is not one of the strongest T6s, that's probably true... but there's nothing quite like her at T6 either (Nelson at 7 also gets the all-forward turret layout albeit cant fire everything straight ahead, and then there's of course the literal successors to the Dunkerque class with Richelieu and Jean Bart. So small wonder those two are just straight up better...^^ eh... who knows, maybe @El2aZeR is willing to give it a go? one of the absolute top guys in that regard... €dit: ah, guess I'm a slowpoke with that idea well, you couldnt be in better hands! the T4 is pretty darn good, the T7 looks strong but I somehow failed hard in it, and the T9 is a slightly different Fletcher (differences as mentioned above) so that can't help but be a really really good boat.

BURN HIM!!! seeing? not that I know of... but you could always ask them... and even if you're not on voice (which I assume you're not, otherwise the question would be quite pointless^^), you should be able to just agree to say "going to port" or "I wanna watch this" when you're both dead... you know, basic human communications^^ huh? Not sure what you're asking here? I seem to recall shipcomrade had a collection of popular builds or some such, no idea whether that still exists and is up to date how should we tell you? How would we know whether you enjoy mid or high tier gameplay more? Operations are a thing at T6 though... Des Memes all day every day. Both EL and EM are quite useful on that. forum search? might have to combine a few threads, but... these here forums... varies from ship to ship, like with any other line I guess. The T10 is trash though. Generally somewhat similar to the USN DDs, just with much less AA but deepwater torps, and a different style of smoke. dunno... take a peek at the premiums available in the armoury, something might tickle your fancy... and you probably want to keep some on hand in case WG decides to revamp captain skills or the game again without a free respec (or if you miss said free respec) depends on who you ask - some say it'll kill the game outright, so that'd probably count as something to be afraid of... On a more serious note - pointless speculating about that at this early stage since we know jack squat about the balancing (and even what we know about the mechanics may well change completely at any time)

yup, been that way for quite some time now, including an average of at least one forum thread complaining about it per day, and WG doesnt care (or at least they havent given the slightest indication that they care so far afaik)...

uh... there are a bunch of longer-term goals and grinds... have you for example taken a look at the Campaigns interface? that's just bollocks, no they dont. Premium makes a couple of objectives ("farm XP/credits") slightly easier, but thats about it.

admit it, the topmost one on that list is an alt account of yours that you created specifically for this purpose... those numbers (especially the exactly 100 battles) are just waaaay too convenient

sounds perfectly normal to me...

while I would kinda like that as well, the port is already so incredibly abysmal performance wise (single most hardware intensive part of the game for some bloody reason) that I dont want to imagine what a sheetshow that would be...

nice an' all, but... doesnt beat Portsmouth with Victory and Warrior on one side and the modern dock on the other...

uh... yes... ships are different? and? would be a tad boring if they were all the same wouldnt it? And you dont hear the RU ships complain how all the Muricans and Japs have such overpowered concealment and torpedoes...

any chance you've selected the current Operation as your battle type, which iirc allows only T6 ships?

ah, pretty sure which Kagero you were - saw two memorable ones today, you and one that went on a little pleasure cruise around the extreme edges of the map, still somehow managed to die to an enemy cruiser and then called me useless... so yeah, just normal Ranked things I guess

hey, to each their own weird phantasies I guess...

had that once something like a year ago, but not recently... but it does exist

no, for people with your attitude they dont - you've made it quite clear you do not want (or deserve, for that matter) any help. For evidence to the contrary, that if the person in question actually has the right attitude they will actually find a lot of help, just ask @Saltface...

honestly, the "best coin maker" is, has always been and will always be just getting better at the game. If you can't sustain yourself in a T8 silver ship with premium time, then maybe you should take that as a hint to drop down a few tiers until you've picked up the necessary skills for proper high tier gameplay. Which is no shame whatsoever at just 750 battles, and you do a half decent job in your mid tier battleships already - but I'd suggest you branch out a bit, grind a few other lines up to T7-8 (ideally non-BBs so you get more of an idea of what it's like for the other classes - that'll also really help you countering them!) and only then revisit T8. You dont really want to be facing T10s already.... better to be ready for them a bit later

are you sure about that? Because I can't see it... ...oh wait...
