  1. High School fleet? New Anime collab? Via campaign system? Sounds like fun...Maybe we can get an Anime Kongo or Myoko, that'd be something new and refreshing. ^^ Seriously tho, sounds interessting.

    Remember those personal offers?

    Never had an (ship) offer myself...WG, you might want to offer me the Kamikaze.

    Shimakaze - 8KM Torpeedos

    Radar cruisers are only dangerous when you're in a bad position and get caught pants down. When the Radar runs out, they are as blind as everyone else. What's far more annoying are spotter planes, it's rather tricky timing the attack when the plane circles around a ship while other hostiles are nearby. So i consider Radar cruisers to be a smaller threat then a simple spotter plane. That being said, not going to switchg to longer range tosps on my Shima/ Kagerou anytime soon, the damage output is much higher than with the 12km ones.

    Managed to get reported three times in one game, appearantly sinking three ships warrants reports - it's kinda an achievement. Triggered a DD player who was desparetly trying to sink my BB and spammed torps for 16minutes, of which only one hit when a friendly BB rammed me and pushed me into that one torp. WASD hax are OP.

    captain of U 96 Das Boot

    True, however having Prochnow for the KM, E.J. Olmos for the USN and Sean Connery for the RU/ RN...that'd be awesome and it would help ignore the request storms for any Persona folks seem to like these days.

    As soon Subs get introduced. Tho i like the idea, so have a +1.
  9. Met Robber_Baron, map Okinawa and he was in my team, it was a nice match and we won in the end.

    Put the dolls at the top of the ships!

    Well, on the standard ships? No. On the ARP ships...the mental model somewhere on the bridge could work - in port.

    My contribution to this event is, that i stopped killing RU ships unless absolutely necessary. Damage them to either scare them away or allow someone else to get the kill. Works quite well sofar, but for the greater good, i'm gonna play a few games in a RU cruiser.
  12. Met Dropsiq two days ago in his Neptune on the enemy team. Had a short chat, and a funny moment, when i tried to contest the A cap in my Fletcher, relentlessly pinging the enemy Moskva, while trying to stay outside his Radar range. One of our BBs was pushing in, despite being outnumbered ( the rest of our team on that side was already bugging out ), and got focused hard. Than he started complaining about me not giving him support, cause he ate a few torps from an angry smoke screen. BB (sinking, all chat): why didn't you support? Dropsiq: yes Jethro, why didn't you support him? *my torps kill the DD in the smoke me: i just did ^^ Later that game, shortly before we won, i literally set his (ships) [edited]on fire.^^ Met an Omni Division (_FTD_, potent_ and a guy whos name i forgot...) on the Ice map in a standard battle. I pushed the center in my Shima, layed a smokescreen for them and headed straight to the enemy cap, where i was able to sink a Hipper and harass a Yamato with HE spam. My plan was never to cap or win by capping, but to put pressure on the enemy team - which succeeded i guess. Tho, in the end not sure how much help it was overall to the team. I could have taken the Yamato, but he was sailing with a Udaloi as Baybysitter...which i've could have seen if i'd had payed more attention to the minimap. Both of them started chasing me, and with no escape i popped smoke and tried to ambush the Uda, which actually works quite well usually. Once they are close, just drop torps in theier way, but this Uda got lucky and destroyed my Launcher, so he escaped his doom. The Omni guys came top of our team, my game was ok-ish with more damage from guns than from torps.

    ARP Takao? nah, prepare for the ARP Nachi pain

    I have, except for the TIX and X RN cruisers and the CVs of US and IJN, all ships in the port.

    Finished the last ARP mission (Kirishima) just now. Set complete.

    Damage based ship service costs

    Yeah, CVs suffer in high tiers and this should be a adressed at some point. A good thing they took the old system for a walk in the woods and shot it in the face behind the first tree.^^

    Did not receive Jolly Roger II

    So am i, don't want to use the Operation Rheinübung Flag on all my KM ships. Still waiting for the JRs from seasons 1-4... Now, some of you may say, "dude, shouldn't you be like playing ranked (s1) or maybe reaching rank 1 to get a JR?" To which i'd reply: considering how this mode works, they should start handing out JRs as compensation for the pain and suffering in ranked. ^^

    ARP Takao? nah, prepare for the ARP Nachi pain

    I needed 34 games to complete the Nachi mission and only once went "ham" to get a RU cruiser (see post somewhere above) and killed other ships in the process. There's a difference pushing in hard, enabling my team to cap and/ or deal damage while i tank a damage, killing ships left and right while chasing one specific ship and ignoring everything else, withholding fire and being a douchebag in general. The former is my usual playstyle, very aggressive and close up, tanking damage so my teams cruisers don't have to, always focusing one target but not hesitating to shoot targets of opportunity. The latter is just douchebaggery in it's highest form and downright despicable behaviour. Thx for providing a how-to NOT play this game, the siztuation with RU cruisers isn't ideal as it is, no need to encourage despicable behaviour by giving detailed instructions on how to screw over your own team.

    ARP Takao? nah, prepare for the ARP Nachi pain

    It's intriguing, how many have trouble with that part of the mission. I finished that mission last weekend and during the mission i rushed a RU ship only once, but killed 3 other ships in the process*. *I guess the Chapayev was scared shitless, when he saw my Kurfurst was heading straight for him, nuking the Iowa, ramming the Hipper, sinking a low HP DD with secondaries all while focusing him with the frontguns. Added Bonus, was the Udaloi, who managed to sink me with torps, but got deleted with my final salvo. While this was quite a successful "suicide run", i see a lot of ships ignore closer ships and throw away the game just to get that one ship kill and get killed in the process without actually doing anything usefull.

    Mixed firing of HE and AP.

    Ugh no. Knowing when to shoot which shell type is an important part of the game. Let's take this idea for a walk, go behind the house and put it to rest with a shotgun.

    Most likely forever. WG wont remove them anytime soon.

    Arp haguro

    It's a Tier VII ship. Switch the port to Yokozuka, and look in the IJN section of your ships.

    Why teamkilling is beautifull.

    Sometimes, i wish WoWS had the same Teamkilling system WoT has. Once they turn blue/pink, it's open season on them.

    Japanese DD tech tree changes

    I was about to write a lengthy post about the subject, but it seems argueing is rather pointless as people have already passed judgement before the line was officially introduced. And while you badmouth something that hasn't seen the light of day and endulge yourself in pitty about the poor DDs, i'm gonna sit here and enjoy the show. #IJNDDsAreDead #WallOfSkill #IHaveNoSkillAndCrapMyPantsSoINeedLongRangeTorps #MadeIJNDDsPointAndClickAgainForGreatJustice

    Cruisers without HE - some Thoughts

    German Ap is very potent against broadsides, but pales in comparison to RN and US AP. Which is a bit disappointing, considering that - when the CL line was introduced - the strong AP was the selling point. Personally, i don't think the RN needs any adjustmenst at all. But if WG would change them, i'd prefer German CLs with RN properties, add HE with a low fire chance (<1%) to the RN, change the awesomesauce AP to standard AP, reduce the rate of fire on the high tier ships and remove the smoke on ALL RN CLs, let them keep the heal. Give german CLs the RN AP, increase the RoF on the higher tier ships, remove HE and add either heal or smoke. Everybody would be happy!
