Yes, it is.

I was missing 17 plane kills yesterday, and since i'm a bit impatient, i asked the the first enemy CV i encountered (Taiho) to send me some planes and explained in short why i put up such a request. Followed by "don't send them all tho..", but no reply from that player. I pushed the B cap and allowed him to spot me (Neptune) with fighters, shortly after a wing of Torpedo bombers came my way, he landed two hits on me. He kept sending fighter/ Bomberplanes my way, but kept them at max range, without going directly for me. It was a good trade i think, i got the plane kills, he got the damage and for me: mission accomplished, game won and i complimented the CV player for his cooperation. So yeah, don't be shy and just ask.

Two examples from my games yesterday. Game 1: 2,8k damage done, than sunk. Pure profit 130k credits. Game 2: 100k damge done, two kills, sunk early by a bunch of random torps (our DDs were hiding behind the other BBs of my team...), 1 cap assist. Pure Profit: 570k credits So yeah, she prints money, the XP gain is on par with the TX camos.

3.8million pure Profit in 7 games, of which 5 where desastrous. In one of them i only got 2k damage and still made 130k Profit... The additional armour isn't that noticeable, CVs didn't go for me so no idea how the AA compares to the Iowa. The Radar...a gimmick in most games and dangerous - for me - in others. Only once sofar, i could make good use of it and blast two DDs out of the water. The reload is a handicap on this ship (it's a BB after all), so unless you have team mates that are willing to shoot the spotted ships, don't bother using it, as it will get you killed.

As a RU DD you shouldn't be the first in the cap anyways, unless there are no other DDs in your team. Generally, let them take the lead and stay around 2km behind your friendly DD and support/defend the cap/DD. If you are the lone DD than ask for cruiser support, if they refuse stay away from caps until the fight commenses. The Tashkent is a small cruiser, play it as such.

After ~1k games i found out by accident, that WG has a dedicated site on the frontpage that tracks stats. After ~1.1k games, i found out that ships perform much better if you actually research AND buy the upgraded modules, hulls, guns, a.s.f., and actually put modules in the upgrade slots. Also, assigning captain skills does tend to help too... After ~1.1k games i realized, that i actually really like the game and i can do awesome if i actually give a $hit.

I enjoy the rush while playing the higher Tier RN CLs and liked every single ship in the RN line sofar - except TII, that one sucks hard, but so do all other TII cruisers in WoWS. Fiji is a Monster at TVII, Neptune is strong at TIX and Minotaur is downright OP. No other line requires me to have my guard up all the time (except maybe RU DDs) and starting with TVI, the games are - in most cases - not only fun, but effin hilarious.

A buff? No. I'd suggest to nerf the dispersion and sigma values across all BB lines to KM levels. No, i'm not trolling and yes, i love my BBs.

Yeah, they have them for ages now and dirt cheap at that. Of course EU doesn't get the same offer, because reasons. #Wgdoesn'tlikeEUverymuch #gettingshaftedistheonlyrightEUhas #allserversareequalexceptEU'causefuckthemsuckers #WGmommywhereismypapapapa?

In the Upgrade slots, select the Modules that improve your secondaries, same on the Captain (BFT, AFT, EM, and the secondary skill). EDIT: Ninja'd ^^

If the Mo is the only ship ever that gets Radar, i'm fine with it, not that i believe that it needs it. What bothers me is the reaction of a lot of players...p2w? OP? Really? The radar - as with all Radar equipped ships - has a cooldown and limited range. A bit of situational awareness can counter a Radar sweep quite easily, and it's not like Ocean is the only map in the game. Apart from that, as with all Radar and Hydro equipped ships, quite a number of players will rely too much on their gimmicks and get nuked.

They really did it... On the one hand, it's bad as a lot of folks have to convert lotsa coin to get it. On the other hand, it's good as casual players and players who shouldn't be anywhere near TIX and TX should have enough XP to be able to convert it. For me...well, i'm glad that i don't have to convert anything to get her.

So you want a sportive game yet you left a game because you were bottom tier? Something that is known for ages now, besides, what is more sporting and challenging than being bottom tier. I hope you got reported for it.

In two games now, i missed it by ~2k and 6k damage...it's quite annoying.

I'm currently at 770k free XP, and i'm confident enough that i can break 850k without the need for Dubloons before she hits the live server. I love the Breakdancing cook on the Port model, made me laugh. PLs WG, make something like that for all ships, while it doesn't add anything important gameplay wise, it does add a bit of "life" to the ships in port.

This might very well be a hickup, as it seems that there are some issues related with captains and camos. So in the end, they might be removed from accounts which didn't previously bought any. Lets wait and see if folks can keep their "free" camos.

Well, the more folks play this mission, the more Cruisers will be in line, so yeah.

RNG is annoying as f$ck. Had 4 games in my Tirpitz yesterday and all of them where shiet, BB at 8km broadside on: 3 hits, 1 bounce 2 overpens. Cruiser at 5km: of course only over pens, i had to torp him. Those bloody 1k damage hits...so fun. But than, there are also those shots that make you go wtf?...how did that even hit?...did the shell bend around the island? Like the a game in the Tirpitz shortly before Ranked ended, NoCar at 19km, barely visible behind a rock. I snapped a barely aimed shot at him, more to discurage him than anything else. A couple of seconds later i had 3 Citas and few normal and over pens and deleted him. So yeah, RNG screws you over (and over and over...), but also delivers. The former more than the latter tho. ^^

This Black Friday thing on the EU is a bit lackluster compared to NA. The ingame event is nice, but the Premium shop sales are a big disappointment. 50% off on Prem-time would have made me spend some coin, but the measly discount we got (which by itself is kinda fine - if all servers got the same discount)...nope, not while NA gets 50% off. I was expecting some actual deals and rare Premium ships (Kamikaze) in the store, which WG failed to deliver. Even worse, in WoT they put a Tank in the store that is more expensive than the already existing Premium: the T34 B. 60€ for a paintjob? Talk about discounts... As a collector it's nice to have and yes, i bought that bloody thing, which in retrospect was probably a mistake. When thinking about it, it's actually a shameless ripoff and could have been handled better, maybe as exclusive perma camo for Gold, like they do in WoWS. And other tanks would have been more suited for this kind of "deal": put in a variant of the Type 59 with adjusted stats and sell it as "Black" version, not only would folks buy it like crazy, the community wouldn't feel like they've been ripped off or fooled. Despite the rather nice ingame event, this is another of WGs f$ck-ups and a another b$tch-slap in the face of EU server and some more slaps in the faces of their entire playerbase with the sale of the T34 B.

They didn't. Well, he did say "it's not all", but he didn't specify what and when. Might as well be for the year 2525...

Had GeneralKrizmuz (Tashkent) in a game on the Ocean map. I pushed B, to help our DDs cap, but they failed hard, bugged out and left no smokescreen, so i got focused and ended up with barely 1k HP. The team decided that one cap is enough and pussied around C. This is sofar the worst weekend in a long time, no team play whatsoever, and every reta&d seems to waiting for a chance to report someone. Considering i'm chatbanned, i get reported quite often...not sure why tho. Met Dropsiq yesterday on Trap in a Tirpitzdivision, was my best Des Moines game sofar (190k out of the nearly 230k damage is AP) and he and his Div-buddy ended up on place two and three. Met Thor too, but that game ended quite fast for us. Edit2: what kind of ret$rded morons play this weekend? Another 5 reports from two games and i'm still chat banned until tomorrow. Appearantly not joining the lemming train is a offense that must be reported. Fu$king co%kgobbling ret$rds.

Yep. There is a threshold, i damaged a idiot in a Kagero today, the first two salvos gave me the warning, the third got me the into the pink faction. He survived (and got killed a feww seconds later by an enemy DD), but point is, you accumulate team damage like XP for the containers. Once you hit the threshold, you get a surprise. ^^ Same applies btw for chatbans, once you have accumuklated enough, you get silenced. And over time, the number of reports needed to silence you, drops as it seems.

You've done some deam damage before and in thatb game you hit the threshold.
