Hype me, hype me!

Maybe. ^^ I want those and i'm willing to pay more to get them. It's not like we get the same option as NA, where you have a chance to get the Gremy by writing an article for the wiki. I actually have hopes for the Gremy to pop up at some point, considering WG sells lower Tier OP tanks for 100€ bundles and gives away the Type 59 on a lot of streaming events like its candy. Besides, WG said the Tirpitz will be a rare ship only sold once or twice a year and now it's permanently in the shop. The best thing that could happen is, when the player count on EU would drop.

Wait what? I assume you mean 10 different Ribbons, not 10 of the same kind ( as in 10 hits)? Well, this should quite drastically reduce the amount of players who get the mission then. WP WG, WP!

Display bug. The detection bonus gets added to the Bonus you already have on your Prem camo. It's like this for ages.

Wrong. That is not pay to win. That pay to save a years worth of grind. I train a captain for each ship which is quite timeconsuming considering i have 122 ships in my port. But my TX ships have captains that have been retrained with dubloons. No way in hell i spend a years worth of grind on one Captain, not to mention 6 of them.

Yes, and that's truly sad. Can we get a Gremy by contributing to the wiki project? Or is this NA only? Actually, i'd be willing to pay up to 200€ for the Gremy and the E25. Not so much for Type 59, my limit there is 100 bucks.

I bought the Arizona in the small bundle as i needed the Dubloons anyway. Putting those flags in the most expensive bundle is rather unfortunate - for me as a collector, and for WG, because i'm not gonna buy a bloated package for one flag. I don't have anything against bundles per se, as long they are resonably priced (Texas, Arizona,...), and i sure as hell would have no problems shelling out 100€ for a premium vehicle that's rare or valueable ( to me for whatever reaseon) like the Gremy, the E25 and the Type 59. But for a standard ship and a flag? Sorry WG, no deal. Pls put those flags in each package, folks would be much more inclined to buy them and you WG, wouldn't get torched each time you put something new in the shop. My very first game was a Tier VIII match, and i did very well. While it is way too early for a final verdict, the Arizona made a very good first impression and it could become one of my favorite BBs.

It's the current meta throughout Tiers from IV and above. It seems that the chicken playstyle is the chic atm. While in Random Mode it's annoying, in Ranked it's retarded. Maybe WG can patch in some balls and/ or brains with the next update? That'd be awesome! This would solve 99% of the issues this games suffers from atm. ^^

I'm following the news and i'm shocked that the EU decided to exile Millions of People to a cold island in the North Atlantic, because they voted to leave EU. On a more serious note, pls no serious politic discussion, this never ends well.

Well, the fact that this thread gets derailed constantly to discuss topics that deserve their own thread. Mods have issued multiple warnings to keep it ontopic or this thread gets locked, and i rather not see the most informative thread gets locked.

It's kinda 4th of July here too...maybe only Americans in America celebrate this day. That could explain the lack of Arizona in EU shop...or maybe it's just the usual Bullfrak policy of WG in regards to different Servers.

The amount of off topicness is disturbing.

Know that feeling...if it's a help, you can't drop lower then Rank 12. ^^ On second thought, it's not funny at all. When i started today, i went from 8.2 to 7.2 and then dropped down, then up again, then down. And in that particular game i screwed up badly...

I met quite a few forumites in ranked today. Ghostbuster_ in my team, game won Lemasive in my team, defeat but no star lost due to being top of the team Ictogan in enemy team, defeat Shaka_D in enemy team, defeat Despite having quite a number of losses, i managed to get back to 7.3 only to drop back to 7.1. Time to stop for today and vent my frustration in WoT. ^^

1. ugh, yes...obviously, as folks want their Yamatos, Montanas and Shimas 2. Made up? Nope.gif. Call it educated guess. ^^ Right, the third party website. The world will end soon. TM Bold claim? Made up? HA! I have pic of a dude with the truth written on a piece of cardboard to back up my claim! Seriously though, pls don't rely too much on stats from a third party website. Whatever you see there, is at best an indicator. 4. Not sure what you are trying to tell with that 41% WR BB driver. Can you elaborate? 6. Yes, WG has access to ALL the data as they are running the servers, they don't have to rely on small sample sizes. How they interpret that data is an entirely different matter. But when it comes to WoWS, they did a fine job sofar - maybe with the exception of US Cvs from Tier 5-7, but the CV thing is just my personal opinion. I can't really comment on WoT, as i don't play it as much as i play WoWS. Personally, i don't like Arty much in WoT, but i consider it a necessary evil. Is it balanced? No idea, i lack the experience to comment on that.

This "bug" is for quite some time now in the game. It seems, when you have a camo applied to your ship that gives a bonus to detection, it adds the bonus of another camo to your detection range. Might be confusing, but nothing really gamebreaking.

My replies in blue, because red is OP, pls nerf red. You really do like to saturate your posts with pics, do you? ^^

Can't speak for thers, but i initially don't rage. I tell folks to not lemming train, and ask the CV to spot the caps we agreed initially to spot and support our DDs during the cap, or to keep DDs spotted when the enemy team was faster. While it works - for the most part - there are always those douchebags that don't give a crap or just pursue their own goals, i.e. damage. I don't like that in Random, but i usually remain silent when the target of my request denies or simply comments "stfu" or similar. In Ranked however, i effin hate it when a CV goes for damage, starts a pointless attempt at CV or CL sniping and loses most of his planes instead of covering our DDs or spotting enemy ones. Even a sinmple reminder that when we lose our only DD we basically lose the game get's ignored or with stupid remarks bashed and i end up neg-repped. Not that i care that much...that would change though, if one day you can exchange Karma points for rare Premium ships. ^^ Until then, no need to be a nice guy if someone [edited]up games. ^^ Asking nicely can yield different results, but in some cases - especially in Ranked - you just get ignored.

Actually, the Kagero is awesome, and when used with the second Torp option with the Captain skill that increases speed in exchange for range, it's easier to play then any other higher tier IJN DD.

I lost nearly 20 Karmapoints in Ranked in 8 games and am now at 1 Karma points. I did get three KPs in a game where i managed to secure the victory by carrying hard, but lost those in the last few games i played on Sunday. I guess folks don't like being told what to do to win, and when i do anyway they get salty and then i get sarcastic, then they get all cry baby or keyboard warrior on me and then i make fun of them. In any of those cases, i get reported and they sure do like to report. The feeling of absolute power tm they seem to have must make them happy in their pants. To bad you can't get neg-repped (with negative values), that's a stat i'd be pedding like it's WN8 in WoT. ^^ And all i have to do is telling them things like: "CV, pls keep the DD spotted, we can kill him faster..." "...CV, don't waste your DBs on a CL, he has AA active...nevermind, would have been smarter to spot that DD and nuke him...". And things like that me get neg-reps like crazy it seems, at least judging by the messages in the report window.

Well, i see. You never said anything about damage ever. ^^ Whatever. Anyways, yes i posted just damage in the first line, as i was assuming more damge equals more XP, so ididn't feel the need to explicitly state it. And if you use your readingskills, assimung you have any, you would have seen that i wrote in my second line that my tier IV and V DDs do more damge and more XP then the Tier VI one. But let me rephrase my question: Can you please point me to where it is written that a Tier X ships has to do more damage and/ or more XP then a Tier IX?? Please? It has to be written somewhere. And i repeat, that stats are indicators and not gods written truth. Plus all the all the reasons i stated in regards to the formely OP ship Shimakze and the plaayers that played her in other posts in this very thread. I'm off to enjoy a Kebap, which is statistically the most eaten fast food around here and has put the Pizza on the undeserved second place. Kebap is OP, pls nerf. ^^

Nice, i don't like what you posted, so lets post a stupid picture to show you that i don't like what you posted. Sweet. Can you please point me to where it is written that a Tier X ships has to do more damge then a Tier IX?? Please? It has to be written somewhere. Cause my Isokaze, Minkaze class DDs, do a lot more damage then my Mutsuki. And gain more XP. And have overall better stats. WG, i want my moneys back, you selling a broken game!

Nice chart there. How many of those Shima players free XP ed there way to the "best of all DDs"? How many of them played in a way that employed the skill of "spam torps in ...ugh...lets say....oh, right, that direction..."? How many of them gain much less XP because this kind of playstyle isn't possible anymore? And shouldn't have been possible in the first place. How many of the better players haven't adjusted yet? Those numbers may be an indicator, but not the whole picture, and i consider them to be an indicator that people need to adjust. I also noticed that quite a number of players still play her as long range torp spammer, while other don't seem to realize the threat of Radar equipped CAs and are just sitting in the smoke and dying. Give it more time, people may need more time to adjust to a more aggressive playstyle.

Well, i consider Minekaze, Kamikaze R, Fujin, Fubuki and Kagero to be the Shimakazes of their respective tier. ^^ While they are not as fear inducing as the Shima, they are as dangerous. Shima has the Nimbus of being the Nemesis of the high Tiers, even more dangerous then the Yamato. After the recent adjustments, a lot of folks consider her rather weak, yet she is still as powerfull as she was - just at shorter ranges. And this is a good thing. And you don't have to watch Flamu, to realize what amazing guns those IJN Dds have. The may not turn as fast as the US ones, but they pack a punch and they have way better arcs.

IJN DDs are fine. They don't need any buffs in the lower tiers and sure as hell they don't need buffs in the high tiers. Shimakaze is after the recent adjustments still a beast and people should stop asking for buffs. Insert obvious <learn2play> meme here. ^^ Nerfing the long range torps and introducing Radar was a pretty good move to discourage lazy players to spam Torps and made the high tier games way more enjoyable. It makes the IJN DD gameplay more attractive as it requires the player to be more cautious and aware. It's a thrilling experience, riding on the edge of the detection range and hoping the CA doesn't pop Radar or have it on cooldown. It's so much more rewarding then spamming torps from safety and hoping that a few hit. I honestly can't imagine why anyone would consider this kind of chicken playstyle to be fun. I for one, have fun with my IJN DDs ( Minekaze, Fubuki, Kagero and Shima), so yeah, those ships weren't nerfed, they finally balanced them. Now they need to fix the chicken playstyle lots of BBs drivers employ and high tier battles will become as fun as lower tiers are. Basically removing standard battle was one step in the right direction, 'cause now a lot more player need to go for the cap if they want to win. So if a BB chicken decides to stay at long range, he exposes himself to smart DD drivers and makes himself an easy kill. Imma gonna have a lots of funs in my Shimas after ranked is over.
