as for today I've got two dreadnoughts on arp takao... in row second ne though was slightly more spectacular: thats for the moment being my lifetime record with takao in case of performance for those without mods achievements are: dreadnought, devastating strike dev strike was achieved by torp ambushing dunkerque aka smart use of island when runnign away to make sure that at least one of those BBs won't follow

I'm just as much software developper as you do, and it seems you greatly underestimate amounts of shells being thrown and how it added operations per shell would affect game servers.... remember these very same devs at one point have actually considered AA batteries using ballistic trajectory simulations [just as main/secondary batteries] for combatting the planes and have got to conclusion that this would put too much strain on the servers with no real gameplay benefit

your pic seems to not work ;-;

and 4% of dispersion of shells tossed in your direction well asking as in some competetive regions people were discarding things for much smaller differences than this....

THIS. WE NEED THIS xD

sure ^ she for example ^

btw how ARP takao fares in competitive when compared to prem atago? I mean - does the inability to equip camos affects her usefullness much?

not sure if genious troll or just embarassingly ignorant >.<

being all wiped out in one battle by japanese battleships of course [bringing suprising end to russo-japanese war.....] one could say these are...... ships that end the wars > [sry I couldn't resist temptation]

haven't played udaloi, but for me Błyski is crapalot of fun tha may change with release of IJN DD split line, as akizuki has same base concealment [with t8 so access to concealment module] better guns, similar maneuverability less speed and less torps [but faster with more damage and longer range]

just play what you like, no progress will be lost at worst case you may just like the split line more and then you'd need to grind back up the split line as progress now will go to main line progress after the patch..... you may want to keep that hatsuharu

he also said in same thread that if you have fubuki and want to buy kagero, the better option would be buying kagero without selling fubuki PS. ARP ships are anomalious witin themselves, I've got 1mill silver for doubled kongo [and port slot] and only port slot for doubled hiei xD

so like just from the start?

one of latest Tuccy's hints, when asked about doubling kagero from his explanation to how compensations are handled, he responded with a hint to look how in the past ships doubling was handled with bearing in mind on arp ships being anomalious because of them being neither premium nor tech tree ships. recent campbeltown mission was awarding port slot and full credit "worth" of a ship to people who completed it while having already purchased the ship herself as for other precedence..... anyone here remembering myoko-mogami swap? myoko owners iirc receiving for free both ships in mention, so what were happening back then to those who had both anyway?

where did you got that infor from? O.o

welp since the kongo and hiei are only arp ships that I got prior to this rotation I'll be cloesly monitoring and screenshottign the case of hiei when gettign close to gettign the "double" I'm 100% sure that I have received port slot and 1 mill silver for doubled kongou, I have not recorded evidence of that thought EDIT: whatever MrConway said there was no other mission completed in the battle that have elevated me from nearly broke to above 1mill on account, so it must have been for that kongo - whichever behaviour was actually intended and whichever was actually a bug, Tuccy have pointed arp ships out as anomalious precedence due to ships being neither tech tree nor premiums EDIT: onething I can say for sure arp ships are inconsistent as crap - got 1mil lsilver +port slot for doubled kongo, only port slot for doubled hiei.......

they may be, they may be not, none of these I was checking on what they say about their methodology of calculating things have got that deep into explanation to say which "average" stats per ship they are using I'd rather say here "someone who created simplified slightly exaggerated example to show that your statement from definitions point of view is false" thing is "average player" from it's very definition does not assumes this player having average stats which if I understood you correctly is what you have claimed fair point, but depending on a ship class in mention "average skill" does not warrant it to fit into "average stats" [for example for difficult to play, where with high skill performance skyrockets <CVs anyone? > a player of "average skill" will fall below average performance of the ship because of non-linear scaling of peformance in relation to skill [btw statistics is THE most trollish branch of mathematics imo xD] [PS. with that last example - I actually remember a guy who tried to proof that CVs average [on high tiers] performances are upped in comparision to other ships, because of CV population [the talk was about t9-t10 so ofc he meant population of this tier of CVs] consist mostly of highly skilled players while for other classes every averagely skilled player eventually gets to T10 lowering averages for them, but thats not really related to the thread, just slightly conencted case to the example above]

or maybe you could just pay attention if there is an ally in possible line of fire?

personally I had no idea that F-16 had actuall name [the "(fighting) falcon" you menton? ] but then I do not claim to have anythign to do with any IRL air-force because we are supposed to totally believes that in regular quick talks in US Navy when refering to class of ships [not any specific ship] or taskforces of specific class they'd be either going with full sometimes long class type name or even worse full list of ships names in said taskforce? [srsly dude if you want to be trolling here you need to at least try >.>] that reminded me the movie "Battleship: Battle of Earth" [or something like that] where main character while being in command of aegis destroyer didn't really know much about ships beyond his beloved aegis destroyer, in one scene telling a kid how battleships are lame good only in taking beating, while missile destroyers being awesome for ability to destroy things seemsl ike that dude in that movie still had better knowledge on things than OP....

Błyskawica is very good moneymaker as for her gunboating duties - yesterday I thought that 2 tiers of advantage was enoght to risk engaging błyskawica as kagero.... I was wrong xD even with survivability expert bringing up my kagero to similar hp levels, those 7 barrels are putting out shells too fast for those 6 guns of kagero to even hope to keep up >.> personally I'd recommend the ship hard to find something to say that was covered by FireflyActual

maybe my opinion is somewhat twisted on cruisers, at least japanese ones as these I have actually played in the past [as oposed to other cruiser branhces] but I think it is still worthy sharing I must say I liked furutaka, I loved it after a rework that has given her hull C 3 dual mounts for main artillery instead of 6 single mounts, unfortunately her moneymaking career has ended with new MM putting her exclusively into T7 matches - in which case I could just as well grab my handy destroyer and have it easier [still under constant fire from everyone in range but only when spotted, with a tools to prevent being spotted] I kinda liked aoba,the only thing I didn't like in this ship was torpedo arcs [commonly reffered in matches by people as "butt-torps"] and it was quite funny on ocasions to go bow in and bounce battleship ap shells with a bow xD unfortunately one of ranked season in which I've decided to grab aoba to get throught lower tiers bracket [t5-t6] have basically killed my leveling of that branch at the time. I think that I have never felt influenceless in this game as at this few matches in rankeds as Aoba. ended up with using kongo for that bracket so after that I had a long break with cruiser gameplay, I tried at some point german cruisers, but never got beyond T4 on them, with recent comeback in form of arp takao cruiser. and this is pretty funny ship, especially with my ridiculously derpy build on her, and as I believe my stats on her are terrible, I am somewhat able to make her sorta work as long as I kill my urge to go to the frontline and just keep shelling things from 12+km [and I'm ok as long as I can keep keeping distance to enemies without having to turn broadside to anything] but then for quite a long time her premium sistership was considered - as too my knowledge - one of only viable cruisers in competitive gameplay...... I had though a friend that has effectively quitted WoWs as he was leveling up russian cruisers and really disliked that fact that random battleships from the other end of the map are erasing him with little to no effort well saying that cruisers are dead is imo lil bit premature, although they could have use some adds to help people in handling them, as for the moment being the class seems be very not forgiving [with often error sending you back to port before you even realise what the error was]

aren't this connected though? I mean your irl tastes in regard of real girls will influence which fictional girls you will like and which you will not <3

I... kindal like your attitude

yeah I'd prefer my hatsu cap to move with hatsu to new line :/ that's wrong ARP ship gave 1 mil lsilver and port slot on doubles, and I am exacly sure about it because that's my only profit from nearly a half of current set of arp missions we do >.> I'm 100% sure I have got 1mill creds from arp kongou double, there is no other explanation how in single match I jumped from borderline of being broke to 1mill+ silver with only arp kongo missio nbeing completed

T6 fubuki from mutsuki [+t5 mutsuki] automatically owned and maybe researched gunboat mine from mine xD
