Wow dunno how they manage to play it with only 13km odd range, cause I can't get it to function like Tashkent, maybe you have to play it in a Div with another DD then...

Are you sure that most of those games were not from before all the nerfs, cause I can get decent damage regularly in the Tashkent but Khaba I can do barely 9k as it is so easily spotted by other DDs and doesn't have the range to engage any of the targets behind them and ends up being just food for Halland and Shima torps... To give it any chance of being useful it needs to have at least the same range as Tashkent and be able to mount the range mod on it, but even then it will just be a bad Kleber.

That difference is because Austin had it's reload adjusted to fit the gimmick on the ship because you can't have a new ship without having a detrimental gimmick on it...

It took them awhile to find the napkins that were in the rubbish bin and fish them out

The ship is more squishy and clumsy than the Hipper with a worse concealment, in exchange it gets almost Des Moines levels of DPM, so yeah it is probably the best damage farmer of the tier, but requires islands until the late game.

Sad but true, buy massive bundle or get nothing.

I like the camo too, but I already have a Mainz TBH I'm more looking forward to the voice overs and if there will be an option just to buy the commander rather than an entire ship as the Chaos commander from last time has some of the best voice lines in the game, and I'm sure the Ork commander will be equally as good.

The drop rate is higher on camos for premium ships that you do not own and especially ones you don't want to own like Cheshire...

Kamchatka in the North Sea: Anyone see any Japanese Torpedo Boats? Admiral: Where are they coming from? Kamchatka: Every Direction!

Siegfried because they removed secondary skills for cruisers with the Commander F*** Up.

Tashkent still better than Khaba as you get much more range on the guns and 8km torps and cruiser AP arms less on you and much better rudder-shift, all for having 1 less gun...

Not a new ship it is Guilio Cesare again

But Soviet CVs first part of early access starts in a week wasn't it?

Ah but will this actually buff the GZ cause mine never has the bombs go in the middle of the drop circle... I'm convinced it isn't a circle but a donut instead... So it will still have the bombs drop from the aircraft at 45deg over the side of that BB.

They were recycled from operations.

Cause it is a fantasy Creation so that they can put in another T9 ship that they can sell for an extortionate price in lootboxes...

So it is the types of CV that are the issue not the fact that there are 2 of them

Remember when Kamikaze used to essentially be a Premium Minekaze... Back then BBs couldn't afford to sail broadside in a straight line, Nowadays most BBs at tier 10 do this. Clearly you don't need to learn this skill anymore... I wonder why?

So no chance of HMS Falklands?

Not popular enough clearly...

Yeah I suffered from it too, was playing Yukikaze was obviously T10 MM and the enemy CV was not a Direct threat as he couldn't drop to save his life, but all the spotting got me focused by 6 enemy ships for over 3 minutes, obviously it was impossible to survive that and with no counter play, but WG said in the recent Q&A that the effect of CV spotting is minimal... On another note can the RU CV release event be an RU Server only event we don't want this broken POS on this server.

"CV spotting has very little impact on the game and thus is not a concern for balancing" - WG

Didn't see anywhere mentioned about contacting Customer support and have done so as soon as I saw your reply, still haven't heard anything so I guess I am unable to complete it as the PTS finishes in the early hours of the morning and I doubt it will be looked at until after the PTS closes... I was in Gold league from the week prior, but hadn't ranked out and was unable to play on the PTS until the Saturday. So clearly the reset only applied to players that played on the Thursday and ranked out again, rather than those just in Gold league.

Ah k sorry that I over interpreted your comment, just you see so much uneducated bias towards things added to the game for a select part of the player base and they rage about it being added even though you can just hide it all. Don't know this particular franchise itself, but I am not against other colabs as long as it isn't as trash as the Kong one, which was a pure money grab.

Was hoping each sprint would only last a day so I could at least finish the 500 Community points mission but unfortunately it seems to be the same sprint for the whole weekend, so I am being penalised for completing the play 3 T10 sub games in ranked last weekend as it meant I was already in gold league for the second weekend of testing, and unfortunately me yolo charging in with a Zao wasn't enough for the enemy team to win, so I prioritised getting the 3 sub games in as it was worth more points, still means I miss out on the 500. Really badly thought out missions.
