serves zero purpose, and would encourage players to just stop playing the actual game and stop in the middle of the open ocean... what about this seems like a good idea to you again?

pure comedy gold!

it's called random. deal with it.

the funny thing is, these are sometimes just plain dead wrong. Like IFHE on an Alsace - that's what makes the 100mm secondaries shine, they're pretty worthless without it except as firestarters but with IFHE they shred DDs and actually do quite decent damage to BB superstructures...

T-61 or Shinonome are probably your best bets for premium torp boats if you dont want the Asashio. Blyska's a good ship, but not a torpedoboat. She can stealthtorp, sure, but it's not all that great...

Kamikaze/KamiR/Fujin

well there's your problem...

not gonna bother much with this event... I'll click the button if I remember to do so, but that's about all I'll invest... if I get something out of it by playing normally, okay, and if not then I wont lose any sleep. There are just way too many events these days to care about all, or any, of them (the hilariously overburdened mission UI that can't even display half of them aside)...

IF being the operational word here... currently at 418 I think, not been getting reported as much as I probably deserved lately, I suspect most people's reports are quickly depleted from Ranked so there arent as many left for me?

I suppose it would have felt really weird to have the radar range go up and then down again... maybe Seattle will eventually get some love in other forms though, who knows

omegalul

would be my guess too

...and this is in any way, shape or form gameplay relevant.... how, exactly? Well, except to calculate the size of the blast we deserve if we ever get proper a Detonation animation, I suppose...

indeed, and quite significantly so. We dont know any exact numbers of course (WG would be pretty dumb to tell us that, since it'd make sure many players would just try to min-max their income as opposed to playing the game), but it's definitely noticable.

got both, not using either all that much... Yamamoto is my backup AA spec Zao captain that I hardly ever use due to lack of CVs, and Halsey sits on the Monty which I rarely play these days...

someone hasn't been paying attention...

single tier matches? that would be boring as all hell

also exposure... I mean, who even reads Offtopic? might as well post it here, have more people see it, and then let the mods move it later

couldn't possibly be because you're straight up a massive burden and waste of a ship slot to any team you're on, right? Like hell are you regularly on top of your team, there's hardly a single not-lowtier ship that you're even average in. Git gud and your winrate will as well.

and now imagine if everyone agreed with you and nobody ever did anything in standard battles. sounds exciting, right?

Honestly, depends on your playstyle and map awareness, and on the ships and tiers you're talking about. I usually have at least a good idea where any potential torps may be coming from, and I maneuver constantly as well, so I dont get caught off guard by torps all that often. And when I eat the proverbial "one random torp", that's often just due to me plain ol' forking up on the Torpedobeat, as opposed to seeing the torps too late. And Vigilance is (obviously) not particularly useful on ships that dont tend to get torped all that often - mid tier BBs being an example, where torpedo ranges are often still quite limited and haven't caught up to the general engagement ranges on larger maps yet. Overall, decide for yourself, based on how often you tend to get torped on the ship in question. If the answer is "more than I'd like", then Vigilance is a solid pick, depending on what else you might want on a given captain.

both, or at least one of the two would be nice... so far, we've only got Battleships (and Battleships in weird disguises), with more of the same on the way (Jean Bart, Alaska, Bourgogne - at least one or two of these will be coal or freeXP I reckon)

no idea what your problem is with Izumo guns, they are as good as they look on paper. Among the best pen of all BBs, and IJN accuracy ain't bad at all (for BB standards, obviously). The combination of these two does mean that they need you to aim them well, but that's about all I can think of... And Musashis have exactly one thing going for them: their overmatch capacity. Flank them, and they die like flies (hooray for Yamato class being pretty much the only high tier BBs with an exposed citadel).

I guess "ohhh shiny new things!" will usually attract more attention from customers than "well this is different and slightly better now I guess"..
