How is it not possible to navigate through islands? It works just fine for me?

Probably no bug and implemented to avoid players from actually completing this.

Well, all people complain about is actually the GERMAN BB overpopulation, no? So WG is going to fix that

Got Emden last year, sold it. Got it again with the Chirstmas event, don't know if I still have it. So in the end, doesn't matter to me. But thx again WG for helping us get rid of the overpopulation of German BB at high tiers. You guys are amazing

Winter is coming...

9 mil BASE XP would be even better

As far as I read in the EULA, you get the right to use to program and are not buying it.

Depends on the time of day and the ships you're picking as well. I mean, if you bring tier X CV every time, the chances of meeting eachother will be substantially higher than if you'd bring a typical BB - CA - DD division.

Depends on the BB as well, some higher tier can get great concealement as well and if you mind your positining, you can go invisible any time you like, thus making for a very easy retreat

I know I'm an average Khaba player ( aka know my limitations ). You think you know what you're doing and are bullying people meanwhile ( whilst in reality you don't know your limitations with the ship aka ..... ). So keep on dreaming and saying Khaba can't do much with only guns.

I'm by no means anything more than an average Khaba player, but I'll confirm that this ship is still stronk. The changes in torps won't really change that much, cause the Khaba is all about the guns anyways. So OP, I don't know what you've been smoking, but it's some good s***, maybe you ought to share it with us?

waxx25, I didn't read that one into this and OP didn't intend for this, so can we get to commenting on the proposal itself now ? As for the proposal, it is potentially a way to (slightly) decrease the gap between the new players and the sealclubbers. However, I fear, the (lack of) knowledge of game mechanics still maintains this gap. So I doubt it's going to have a major effect because: - you'll give people a lot of choices early on ( more upgrades, some of which, like IFHE, require a thourough knowledge of armor on targets to see if it could be useful on your ship with your caliber guns ) and honestly, I fear most people who started will just get lost even more; - there is still the way to how you play your ship. You can give a player all the tools, but if his basic positioning is wrong, or he doesn't know about angling and thinks that firing broadside volley after volley in his BB is a good way to play then well... I understand that some ships are harder to play, but there we also enter WGs' business model. You can always use the free captain xp to add to your captains or better, buy a premium ship as a captain trainer. So I'm sorry, but I don't see the value of the proposal. ( probably because it lacks drawings )

Unfortunatly only a 1 star win ( yes the star for killing the German torpedo boats ). But I really don't know how else I could've achieved the other stars. With half your team leaving Dunkerque with half empty ships, going in all directions exempt Britain...

Very unlikely if said player is in Yamato. Cause Yamato S**** on angling. Any high tier BB for that matter. The fights in which I can pwn a tier X BB are those where at first they ignore me/I can ambush them with their turrets the other way around. Or where they are stupid enough to give a nice flat broadside. Otherwise my DM just gets wrecked. And killing BB with AP is the only way in my book that counts as killing them. Sure I can burn them down as well, but that takes too long for my taste.

That'll only happen with the tier X Russian CV. Because Russian bias. @Lord_WC If you want WG to balance a game around, and I quote you, complete idiots ( a less eloquent way of saying: people that: a) don't grasp the game mechanics, b) sail around because they adore sailing in a nice environment, c) play solo yolo / statpadding because f*** teamplay; d) are drunk ; e) any combination of the previous bullets ) then it would be a very boring game. Why? You'd need to make sure that even the biggest idiot could hit every ship he's shooting at ( note I dit not say: aiming at, aiming is l33t) whilst also being able to dodge or ricochet every incoming shell ( without actually using wasd hax for angling and suchn cause you know .... ). Is that really the game we both want?

The numbers in WG secret stats books show otherwise. So you are wrong sir. Well, thx for the update Kandly. I really hope you'll keep the community well informed on this because it is, as you said, one of the oldest mechanics in the game. Altering it has a lot of repercutions on other mechanics and they should all be adressed at the same time. Without doing so game balance will be ruined.

Can we get back to the real issue here? WG's great balancing ideas rather than derailing the topic. ( still need to sell pitchforks, just filled my store again :) )

What really baffles is why WG thought this to be necessary. The two tier X cruisers that were in game from the start were Zao and Des Moines. Hindenburg came in [a few ?] months later. For now, Zao still is the most played tier X cruiser, yet Hindenburg is making a run for this position. So clearly the community likes playing this ship a lot. And as we all know, people only like playing underpowered ships and tend to stay away from strong ships.

Sorry OP, you must be new here. But every CV topic where avenger makes an appearance ends up like this. And sad to say, but your propositions will be ignored from that point on.

Now flaming war pigs is something I'd go for in Wows

So when a cruiser does something a BB can: "2 volley another ship" you say: NO NO But I don't hear you complain about all the utilities a BB gets. Utilities that were once unique for cruisers. As for the kiting and running, you've got a few thousand cruiser games under your belt, how is that working for you?

Whilst new suggestions are always nice, maybe it's worth making them AND thinking about game balance consequences. As for historical accuray, I think we're a long way past a historically accurate game anyways, so no need to use that argument.

They sure did. Then again, I specifically bought the Kutuzov (when it came out) for its smoke. So if they nerf it, they nerf the sole reason for buying that ship.

Is this one mentionned on the BBingo? Or is it a new one? @OP: if you take the shortest route to the frontlines you'll get there in time to play and fight. If however you don't go full speed/wait till everyone else is moving/wait till cruisers are engaging the enemy then you'll have issues.

Very nice :) players trolling WG's attempt to troll players. Gotta love this community
