doesnt work because on some ships, there's hardly any relevant difference between stock and fully upgraded while on others it's a whole world between them. Plus, unnecessarily complicated.

somewhat unlikely to happen promptly during gamescom, they're sorta busy... but doesnt hurt to try^^ @MrConway @Crysantos

okay, now I'm curious... dont have that camo myself, can anyone verify whether that happens everywhere? seems unlikely that noone ever noticed it before...

ah, back in the good ol' days of Umikazes sealclubbing Yamatos!

who the what now?

there's this thing called Operations you know...

yeah avoid the T-22 (Tier V) at all costs, good lord is that thing pathetic... I can very much recommend the Tier II though if you're up for some hilarity... very hard hitting torps for the tier on a stupidly stealthy boat, and as Procrastes said the forward launchers are something of a novelty. I wouldn't bother with the Tier III and IV though, they're pretty much the exact same ship except they're up against stronger opponents...

and outrage so small you'd have to look for it with a microscope... I mean, these amounts at low tiers are so insignificant, it's not even worth opening a forum thread about imho

yeah i noticed that too, with no small degree of amusement... and at the same time they "suggest" skills that actively hurt your performance like... oh I dont know... half the CV specific ones...

argh... and here I was looking forward to taking out my T8s in a not-completely-bullshirt environment at least for a short time...

for that kind of public whiny behaviour? why shouldn't I? if he had just posted a "can't sustain the costs anymore, shutting down" message, that would've been totally fine... but this rubbish? yeah no

yup, liked it. The rewards were good enough to be interesting but not too large and distributed in a way that helped avoid some frustration (I was mainly after an Eagles permacamo, so I didnt mind missing one daily container by joining the "losing" team every time. If the containers had been "better", I might have been annoyed^^). One nitpick: I didnt like the RNG involved in when one got the team switch offer - tying a significant part of the rewards (in the form of loyalty) to a combination of randomness and sheer time spent is not great.

don't be fooled - you have pretty much exactly the same HE DPM with both sets of guns, you just trade rate of fire for alpha strikes. And if your aim is good, I personally consider the latter more valuable in a DD vs DD engagement. The 128mm guns do have a decent chunk of extra DPM on the AP rounds, but that'll pretty much be limited to nailing a broadsiding cruiser/BB from smoke, and the 150s do that decently as well due to their massively higher pen. One little note, if you've been active in Clan Battles at all don't forget there will likely be a free captain reset soontm since Season 3 just ended. If you want to save a few hundred dubloons, you can wait for that - it's not like your current build made the ship completely unplayable...

well then get on with it, now that you've survived the TTT invasion! No excuses anymore! (what? Gamescom? naaahhhh that doesnt count...)

Gaede is a bit of an odd duck among her (or his, since it's german and named after a guy) peers. On the one hand, you have hydro and a lot of HP, which makes you think you should rush caps early on. On the other hand, you concealment and DPM are rather mediocre and you're a very large target, so you're relatively easy to punish for a mistake. Gaede doesnt like focusfire... I like to, as you said you try to do, play a supporting role on a cap early on - your high alpha damage volleys are very helpful in that if your aim is good. Later on, when things have thinned out a bit, you can still use your plentiful HP pool to go hunt down DDs that then hopefully won't have their entire fleet behind them. As for the build, a few thoughts. Dont take these as gospel, just my perspective and maybe food for thought. Priority Target, a.k.a. Tingling Spideysenses, is veeeeery helpful to judge how much trouble you're really in right now - are the cruisers and BBs back there aiming at you? Does that enemy have support nearby that you can't see? Etcetera. Preventative Maintenance is by no means a bad choice, but... well, for me, information above everything! Error 404 Last Stand not found? What? You're a DD.... I personally don't value Smoke Screen Expert in the slightest, especially in the german DD line that already has very poor smokes to begin with. Take Adrenaline Rush instead - again, lots of HP to play with! Whether you need Expert Marksman comes down to personal preference... Demo Expert on the 150mm Guns doesnt really do all that much since you already have a 12% base fire chance and very low rate of fire. I'd consider taking Torp Armament Expertise or Supernintendo instead...

with those as his last words, I am having a really hard time feeling any kind of sadness or compassion...

you do realize that the entire point of a Citadel is that it is inside the ship?

except Alsace was, and still is (with a few weeks of nerfed stats to influence the total), significantly ahead of all the other silver T9 BBs...

this. there's not a single T7 BB that gets a 32mm bow.

tinfoil hat on head doesnt help against great big void inside head last I checked... although that might admittedly fall under "outside his control"

know? nobody except WG. suspect? probably when the CB season ends or shortly thereafter, so in a week or a couple.

yeah one would assume they'll warn us before removing something from the shop, even if you're a cynic you'll have to admit they should do it out of sheer self-interest (last-minute sales and that)... Other than that, we can't really tell you what you might enjoy... a T10, especially one as demanding as a Des Memes class, might be a bit much of a step up for you right now, but looks like you're doing very much okay in your mid-high tier BBs so a T9 BB would probably not be horrible... whether you want a Musashi or wait for something else is up to you, but if i were you I'd probably at least wait until WG announce their plans for Alaska and Jean Bart (I know I'm waiting for that^^)

that would probably be the problem here...

you keep posting these same links over and over... how about you actually tell us what you think they mean? Since according to you we are too stupid to get it, why not enlighten us, oh Great One?

EHRMAHGERD secondary buff for Jean Bart? WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANT!!!!!!!
