Hello, I assume you are new here CV popularity is rock bottom here

Fact: I am the emperor Napoleon

OK thanks for checking it out!

Well, maybe you can check again. It would not be the first time a change slipped below the radar

I have T61 and like her, Haida is next.

Which btw is a hilarious feature, as damage history of CVs in WWII amply shows. So one more set of trainer wheels to prop up the speshul class of ships

I kinda like that we can now earn gold in the game more easily. It brings premium ships and perma camo in reach of F2P players. I don't need all the premiums or perma camo on all my ships, but having some that used to be behind a pay wall is nice.

Well, anyone relying on any semblance with reality is surprised that AP does more damage to a soft skin target than HE. That makes WoWs damage mechanics at least confusing to anyone with historical or physical knowledge. You have to forget any knowledge of naval history and physics and start from scratch with make believe behaviour of shells that defy logic. Oc you would be surprised if shells would suddenly turn in mid flight and go in 90 degree angles from where you had aimed. Oh, yeah that's WG ballistics for you. Nothing to do with normal world physics, but WG thought this would be better

Thanks, worked.

Ai, good luck m8

My biggest hobby is naval history. Playing WoWs is part of that hobby.

Wut? AP doing more damage to a thin skin target like a DD? O boy. I already hated the stupid pen mechanics but this is hilariously stupid. Why isn't the guy that dreams this up not quietly escorted out of Lesta offices? Sorry Piotr, we all like the Vodka here, but now it has really eaten away your brain. HE typically has 3-4 times the explosive filler than AP. AP in real life takes a significant drop in explosive effect for improved penetration. But this is oc only relevant for protected areas, not for thin skin targets like a DD. Against DD HE should outperform AP by quite a margin if WoWs tries to emulate real world in any way. Really, any kind of historical knowledge or understanding of real life physics is a big disadvantage in this silly game. Ships look historical, but behave like flying pigs.

Detonations happen only about 1%. There are many variables that have a stronger impact on battle results.

Not really. I was building on your argument rather than furiously trying to argue against it. A rare occurrence on this forum I admit, so I understand your confusion

Positioning is using the minimap to build a mental picture of the relative position of the red and the green team and their firing lines, and making sure you and your team can bring superior fire onto the reds that can fire at you. Interestingly, camping is a bad way to position as though you do reduce the enemy fire at you, you do not maximise your firepower on the most dangerous opponents. Thus the enemy can use their superior firepower to defeat your team in detail.

It should mostly not be a problem but you need to adjust your play style. You need to know the weaknesses of your ship and take that into account.

I don't normally hoist the deto signal and do seem to have suffered more detonations last 1-2 weeks in my DDs than I used to have previously. This is just n=1, so don't know if anything changed.

There is just 1 problem with this. It will give WG perfect insight in price elasticity. You have 1 guess how they will use this. And no, for the benefit of the players is not the correct answer

Their greeting is "live long and pay us"

Of course there are bad DD players. There are also bad CV, BB and cruiser players. The bad DD players die in a few minutes meme always amuses me. DDs make first contact with the enemy. They have low health pools and every ship (with a brain) focuses on them. So 1 of the DDs making first contact is likely to die. What is so surprising about that?? It is the logical consequence of the game mechanics. Do you expect me to talk now? No Mr. DD, I expect you to die.

Sure

You are a bit full of yourself?
