Returning player here, had a few months break. I'll hit you guys up

Legitimate play style. I once fitted a ram and speed flag to a Myogi and killed 4 Saint Louis's before succumbing to fire. I probably enjoyed it more than they did.

Had a really enjoyable game just now. Bought the Anshan in the sale, first game out in it and I'm at 4 kills and 103k damage. I'm going for the Kraken, there's two enemies left on the field, and about 3 mins left to go. Suddenly an allied Warspite deletes me and rages at me in chat about me 'stealing his kills'. Checked his stats and he's played less than a hundred games, obviously has zero idea about the work I just put in making peops blow damage con and stacking fires/floods. When I point out he's now at zero kills and is about to be docked XP & credits for the team kill he goes full capslock meltdown. Great game

I like them, I enjoyed Emerald and from my few games in Leander she seems really good. The fact you never seem to overpen adds a lot of damage you wouldn't usually get from AP salvos. I will say though, that it seems they become increasingly ineffective the longer the match progresses (and the lower the ship count) as consumables run out and enemies can concentrate more on mitigating your damage alone. They're definitely not new player friendly!

Straight up one-on-one the Bismark was a superior ship. It bloody well should be considering it was a much, much newer. In terms of it's actual design though the Bismark was quite conservative, if very well put together, but it was certainly not some kind of 'supership' as has been suggested. As a little story related to HMS Hood, one of my elderly clients in Brighton served on her, notably through her attachment to Force H. When she went in for a refit he was on shore leave and took part in a box barrage against incoming bombers during which he unluckily exposed to blast effects and rendered completely deaf for the rest of his life. He was judged unfit to serve on board the Hood and relegated to motor boat duties in port. If he hadn't lost his hearing that day I guess he would be long dead at the bottom of the Denmark Strait right now. One's luck can be quite subjective in the grand scheme of things...
