Hmm i have 283 pearls, and so i'm looking forward to getting the Kamikaze R, but i was wondering when we have the 260 points for the ship, are we still in the drawing for 1 of the 2000 normal Kamikaze's or are we out of the raffle? The normal Kamikaze looks better than the R version imo.

Well played, the Nicholas is a fantastic little aggressive gunboat, it's good fun to play when high tier gets under your skin or the repair bill does... And the best thing is that most people seem to forget you have 6 more torps on the other side ;)

no clue i think it is World of Warships itself that is the problem, as the game had been running fine and just it crashed after the new update, and the crash would be fine, but the crashes i get cripples the system so you have wait 5 min before it goes away or you have to restart the system as the GPU stops working. This so frustrating, got sunk many times because of this issue and lost over 500k in repair bills for games i hardly played, tier 9 is brutal for repairs.

You already can, just click on it and hold the right mouse button down as you look at the ship in question.

3000 doubloons is simply to expensive, 500 gold would be acceptable, and to be honest they don't look 3000 gold at all, so back to the drawingboard. And the Tashkent looks awful in that light grey so damn boring... it should get a camo similar to the other Russian ships like the Gremyashchy. The Iowa and Lexington's camo looks awesome and might be worth 1000 gold, but then there is the New Orleans it just looks boring, it would look MUCH better if it got the same kind of (grey/blue/black) camo as the other USN ships did. As it is now then the New Orleans could be mistaken as a British ship as the Warspite has the same kind of grey and blue pattern. The Hippers camo looks fine, but needs more black, or a dark grey on the hull, it can look much better then that, just look at the Tirpitz that's how a German ship should look. I found this in under minute and it looks awesome why oh why didn't you make the Admiral Hipper look this, you would have sold it in record amounts. This should be the premium camo for all German ships! And btw please do tell the idiots at WoWs design team that the Ad. Hipper needs the REAL B HULL....! The Ad. Hipper got reworked and got a new bow, smokestack cap and bridge. http://forum.worldofwarships.eu/index.php?/topic/42027-admiral-hipper-visual-hull-b-upgrade/ If you are asking the insane price of 3000 gold then atleast make it look 3000 gold, and not like some of these camo's that doesn't do it at all for the ships.

WG really needs to get on top of this patch ASAP, as the World of Warships dev. team is steaming full ahead towards the same fate as World of Warplanes, so time to wake the helmsman up as he is drunk and high on drugs and then quickly change the course, before it is to late to resolve the game and the player base leave WoWs behind.

I like the captain perks, new maps are always nice, music is way more cinematic, also the AFT nerf is fair imo. But what i don't like and i'm really concerned about is the the massive buff's to AA and huge nerf to CV's, i don't see why any players would play their CV's anymore and then lose a most of a plane squad close to a cruiser now, and cruiser got better AA perks too, as so planes health needs a buff now, but i guess that is WG for ya, they nerf the problem and buff the thing to solve it... Also DD's will be free to roam and hunt BB's without ever getting spotted as there will be no CV's to keep them spotted, and DD's also got better torp options, so welcome to World of Destroyers. WG really needs to get on top of this ASAP, as World of Warships dev. team is steaming full ahead towards the same fate as World of Warplanes, so time to wake the helmsman up and change course, before it is to late to resolve without damaging the game for good.

Only reason why WoWs dev. team capped the game at tier 6 is that the new AA gun and torpedo mechanics completely ruined high tier play, as a ship like the Des Moines had 96 DPS and it has like 325 DPS with the AA guns that has 6-7 km range so no planes will ever get near this ship, the Hindenburg is just as scary for planes now too. WG at it's "best".

Yes big time, and AA guns buff beyond belief, this patch will be the killing blow to CV's RIP. I have watched iChase's Twitch stream tonight while playing it myself on/off and holy crap, patch 0.5.3 will be the end for this game, CV's will never be played again after this patch, AA guns get a gigantic buff so no planes can get close to you, and DD's get a faster torps = more deadly, so the BB's would be the next line to disappear due to nerf'ed rudder times and too many DD's torp spam making the game not worth playing. So i'm praying that the WoWs dev. team rethink this junk patch as it the same kind of crap that killed World of Warplanes. The WoWs dev. team is slowly killing the game with each patch they have released since OpenBeta, little be little, and now they are killing the CV's for good. As much as i hate CV's then they are a vital part of the WoWs ecosystem, without CV's DD's will never be seen by BB's and CA's as there are CV's to keep them spotted, and then the BB players will get so frustrated that they would leave and it will be World of Destroyers the end... WG really needs to get on top of this ASAP, as World of Warships dev. team is steaming full ahead towards the same fate as World of Warplanes, so time to wake the helmsman up and change course, before it is to late to go resolve.

Think he is as annoyed as the rest of us that the WoWs Dev. team more or less capped the public test at tier 6, as it makes no sense grinding higher tiers in that short time window. It used to be that when WoWs held public tests they had boosted the XP gain by 10x or so, as no human have time to grind for higher tier ships at the normal rate only for all progress to be reset... So why did you change it for the worse WG ??

Hmm the Hipper gets a buyable premium permanent "historical" camo in patch 0.5.3, but hopefully it also gets the hull modifications it should have. Hopefully it is on the publictest server too, which goes live tomorrow afternoon.

Seems it was the Nvidia 361.75 driver that caused my unstability problems as i haven't had any issues since i rolled back to Nvidia's 361.43 driver. So i think this might actually be Nvidia's fault, as i also had problems in other games (The Crew). In Nvidia's patch notes they claimed they had fixed notebook performance, but they clearly changed more than that since my GTX 970 didn't opperate as it should with that driver. My systems is: i7 4790K, Z97 mobo, 16 GB ram, GTX 970 G1

I think this might be related, but i have been heaving a alot of game freezes where the screen locks up and only the mouse works - and it takes about 1-2 minutes before the Win10 or the game notices the problem and closes it. I caught it this time, i had GPU-Z running in the background and it shows were the GPU goes from normal gaming load and then just quits out of nowhere. Happened to me 6-7 times and properly cost me 500K in ship repair costs, so thx alot WG for your "quality game". Anyone else noticed similar problems? Edit. Could be the Nvidia 361.75 driver causing unstability for my system, testing with the old 361.43 driver now.

Hehe okay, guess i'm getting the range upgrade then And yes it does stand out abit, but not just in your stats but also on the global stats, it seems to be a ship that is under performing abit. At which range can you fire without being spotted in the Baltimore? I already have the concealment upgrade on the ship and the stealth camo, i only need to grind the captains concealment perk, 4 points from it. And i can't wait till i get the captain skill's working again i hate retaining, it is just a massive handicap when there is DD's around without you being aware of them.

True, Gun Fire Control System mod. 2 is an option, but wouldn't the gun arc become crap at that range? And wouldn't Main battery mod. 3 be better as you get the faster reload, which could be slightly better. But i haven't played the ship enough to know it's strengths and weakness's yet as i only just got it last night, so i need to grind the captain retraining and earn the money needed for the upgrades, so i have some time to figure out what it needs.

The stock Baltimore is rough, only 14,3 km firing range is just crazy at 9 tier, good thing you have concealment on your side. But i like it so far, as it is a very maneuverable ship for it's size and it has good shell groupings, but it needs the gun control system upgrade ASAP, 17K XP left before i can get that.

Just had a look at my Hipper and i still need 90K XP to before i have researched the Roon, so plenty of time to earn 14 million credits again, i'm sure my Atago is up for it. So i'll give the Baltimore a go now, but don't think i'll get the Des Moines, as the Hindenburg is the better ship, and by the time i have unlocked those ships the British cruiser "might" finally be ready. And i really enjoy my Hipper, but the lack amour and usesable AA is annoying, but the AP shells are great. And yes there is nothing my satisfying that hitting the valleys on BB and CA's and see the damage rise. And btw have met enough Essex and Midways's to know the insane damage they can do in the right hands, plus i like to play a more supportive role, while i don't like sitting at the edge of the map sniping, so i'm gambling on the Baltimore's amour being able to bounce shots like the New Orleans could, but i know that there is nothing to do but start dodging when a Yamato is throwing 9 compact cars at you, good thing you have a concealment benefit.

Did the recent amour and AP damage buff make the Baltimore better to play, and do you guys think it is worth getting versus the German Roon? I have played the New Orleans and fully researched the Baltimore, and now i'm grinding the last bit of money for the tier 9 cruiser, which is why i'm wondering if it actually would be worth while getting. I'm half way to researching the Roon in my Hipper, but i really don't like the Germans glass amour and complete lack of AA which is something that is stopping me from truly enjoying them, as i hate CV's, and tend to escort the heavy hitters into battle, which basically only leaves one tier 9 cruiser for the job, but is it worth it..? So Baltimore or Roon, which ship would you pick given the choice?

Just fire HE at them

OP why don't you crawl back under your rock and stay there, this is a game and not an education - and nor should it be. So get with the program or find something else to suit your needs for perfection. And you do know the game has a PEGI 7 rating, right..? Says so on the bottom of the http://worldofwarships.eu/ page and on PEGI's own site http://www.pegi.info/en/index/global_id/505/?searchString=world+of+warships So what exactly is your problem with kids playing the game, or did you think adults were the only ones rightfully allowed to play the game?! So good luck getting a the game blocked xD

If the guns should get a range buff then the shell speed needs a buff too, as the gun arc is fine, but the shell speed is to slow for long range shooting as chances are your target will avoid every salvo you fire at them, as you have 2-3 salvos in the air and making adjustments is super hard if the target turns just abit. So i think shell speed and fire chance would be the best area to buff the guns. But a smoke screen would allow you to be more aggressive in the Atlanta, and it is a stupid joke that the DD lead ship doesn't have smoke.

Well i really like the Nürnberg it is my favorite tier 6, as it have very effective AP shells and a good rate of fire, try shooting them at a Warspite and see him melt in front of your eyes The Yorck is terrible ship, it is a painful grind up to the awesome Hipper, Roon and Hindenburg. The high tier German ships have fantastic shell arc's and do tons of AP damage, while their HE sucks, so AP all the way. (it's even effective against DD's) And yes the big problem with German ships is that WG haven't figured out have to make the German slopped amour yet, as ships like the Hipper can take 30K damage in an unlucky showing of the broadside, so the 43K health melts fast when there is a BB shooting at it, so you want to play as a support ship to the battleships and let the battleships tank while you help them with your awesome long range AP which can even citadel BB's like the Amagi, but you have to been close to citadel a BB 8-10 km, but with the Germans tier 8-10 if it is in range then you can citadel it or do tons of damage to it.

Great something to look forward to, is there a general time frame for the release of patch 0.5.3 yet ?

Haha damn that's along time, they better be busy with the British ships ;-) But yeah i think they drink to much vodka at launch and can't do anything the rest of the day, that might explain why nothing gets done. But anyway the bigger problem is that the German slopped amour doesn't work, and the ship can lose 30K in by a BB salvo, so clearly WG should update the amour model, as it is to weak as it is now.
