Thank you WG for the shitty useless "Spotting Aircraft Modification 1" of which I now have 3 pieces which I will NEVER use.

I thought this thing was supposed to be released in August and they still have no clue which loadout it will have?

Planning to do the same, I am still waiting to see their AA ratings in order to determine whether CVs might also be an option. Also Zeppelin is going to be released, so will see how that one does against RN BB.

It is WG-EU, they don't want to spoil us too much. Probably completion ratios in the last few weeks were too high so they had to let the WG-EU mission monkey get back to work.

To be honest I also hopped into a scenario with my gallant not realising it isn't Dunkirk anymore. But did 150k damage, so that was ok.

Ok, I admit I am stupid, can somebody help me to understand the WG announcement regarding RN BBs. It basically says that TVII+ are all HE snipers because they have no armor, so in closer combat i.e. below 16km any BB currently in game will snack them easily. On the other hand they always say they want to fight against the camper sniper reverse meta and make people engage more at a closer range. How does this fit with releasing a line of HE sniper BBs?

The weekend warriors are out in full force again.

What I see very often is 5 ships chasing one enemy to the edge of the map while the rest of the team gets slaughtered. Or people just being miles away from the objective.

They will have to massively buff these ships, otherwise they will not be played anymore. Minotaur has around the same number of games played as any other TX cruiser. If they nerf smoke that much it will need to changed for that. They need to redesign the whole British CA line, hence I don't see this being introduced any earlier than 3 months. Maybe I am wrong here, any other news / views on the timing?

Yeah they should just grey out the "Battle" button when that happens.

Or it will have only 50% engine power on any map with ice or snow.... Or they could just make a solide line of Battleships, maybe a bit on the faster side with good guns and agility but a bit lacking on the armor part? But you are right they will come up with something gimmicky. I think it will be speedboost for the Italian battleships.

Please ignore.

Yep and I intend to keep going until WG-EU gets their sh*** together.

Even with Gallant, WG has implemented its finest farm mechanic they had in store. Have 5 items collected and 5 duplicates now i.e. 50% duplicates. Now you need 5 duplicates to buy one item, during the Bismarck campaign it was two.

I just realised my Belfast will be so fu****. Well it was while it lasted.

This has been discussed in what feels like twenty threads already: WG-EU does not want to spoil us too much, therefore we have the privilege of buying it in the premium shop rather than a chance to get it for free! Please feel spoiled now and spend more time with your family! Maybe we will have a fun & engaging summer convoy?

The operation itself is not really hard. It is just if the average reverse parking BB coward sniper tries to play this, it is obviously going to end in desaster, unfortunately this is about 40% of the playerbase.

That is what everyone said during the super test, the public test and after the official patch notes came out. WG won't listen to player feedback period when it hurts the BB babies.

This is WG-EU, they don't want to spoil us too much. You should spend more time with your family!

WG-EU please don't spoil us so much. Like copy / pasting processes and procedures from another server. That would really be too much effort for your paying customers.

Do I understand this correctly the TVIIII RN BB gets only AA consumable but not radar? The AA consumable makes them completely immune to Enterprise and other US CVs. Not a good move. But I guess most people will pick the radar consumable anyway due to the fun & engaging smoke heavy meta.

So the whole "we promise we will improve" following the Christmas convoy desaster shitstorm was all just [edited]. So sad.

Welcome to WG's fun and engaging CV gameplay. I think the removal of manual drop from TIV & V is actually the big CV fix that was supposed to come this year. They just haven't told us yet.

After the upcoming buff this ship will be even more awesome than it already is. I am still not convinced they will implement the buff as planned.

Not so far, have a few mothballed though.
