Hm, scheint 'ne Iso/Minekaze zu sein, und es hilft beim Kapitänstraining.

This is something i really like to see ingame.

Well, from what i gathered sofar: US DDs - play them as small Cruisers, which use Maneuverability and stealth to pepper ships from afar with their mainguns and do the occasional Torprun on a unsupecting BB. Primary Purpose: Hunting other DDs and becoming a annoyence to other classes. IJN DDs - Ninjas! Use their stealth to Torp BBs. Avoid gunfights, the IJN DD guns suck, their Torps however are good. It's like playing Thief or Splinter Cell but with ships. Sneaking around and sinking ships from the shadows is where they excel. US Cruisers - AA Support platforms that should provide AA cover for the BBs, hunt DDs with their RoF and engage other Cruisers. They have, for the most part, excellent AA which allows them to shoot down planes faster and thus keep the teams BB alive. Machinegun guns and less precision. IJN Cruisers - Hunting DDs, providing AA cover and dealing with other Cruisers. Slow RoF but the guns are more precise. US BBs - Brawlers. Get close and personal at ~10-12km and put your opponents into a world of pain. Deals mostly with other BBs and CLs. The equivalent of a shotgun. Slow but maneuverable. IJN BBs - Less a Brawler, i found the best distance to engage the enemy is at 10-15km. They have a range advantage, however long range sniping never won a game. The equivalent of a precision rifle. A bit faster then their US counterparts but less maneuverable. Haven't had the chance to play with the new tech trees yet.

The outcome may have been an entirely different, if the CO wouldn't insist on going slow through that channel, despite the fact that the Fleet was discovered. I'm not saying that they wouldn't have been hit or damaged, just it may have been a different outcome.

Der Preis mag heftig sein, geholt hätte ich sie mir trotzdem.

It has been removed again, as the event starts tomorrow. And it seems it's NA only - in that case: thx WG.

Two Brothers is a nice map, so are the rest of 'em. Ocean is a bit bland and annoying if you get it 7 times in a row with 4 different ships ( you'll LOVE this map when sailing in an Atlanta ). Hotspot is fine though, it really depends on where you spawn and if the team that spawns near C gets butchered within 5 mins ^^

War auf dem NA Server, wurde wieder entfernt. Scheint 2 wochen zu früh aufgetaucht zu sein, da Halloween special. Edit1: Hab ich das irgendwie übersehen das es NUR auf NA erhältlich ist? Edit2: http://worldofwarships.com/en/news/common/phantom-fortress/ Es würde mich schon etwas ärgern wenn es nur für NA gelten würde...

Yes, it is pricey but at least they have something new to play with. I hope this gets to the EU shop too, maybe this week, as they switched the ships every Friday.

Yeah, but it is a new ship and it is not available at the EU shop (yet?).

It were the Torpedos that sank her, the shells did damage the ship but wouldn't have sunk her.

I wouldn't say fail launch, more like a missed opportunity. But then, those ships need to be balanced and chances are, the longer you wait, the more people are going to buy them when they get released.

While i for sure gonna buy the new Premium ships when they come out (assuming the pricing is halfway decent...), i only care for the Tirpitz and hope she gets back on sale soon. I even pay lots of cash for an overpriced Bundle... Wargaming, put her back in the shop and i'll be like "shut up and take my money!".

That's really weird, during the tryouts, i never managed to do AP damage to a Cruiser with the Königsberg unless it was a Tier below or same Tier. And even then the AP damage was rather low compared to other ships. AP bounced of the Cleveland and Aoba even though broadside on. HE did however damage all ships.

now that you mention it... Edited Post.

My first entry... Edit1: Nevermind, next time i shall double read the OP. Edit2: Now with the right class of ships!

Good girl, she can deal a punch - the ship not the girl. The cake is awesome and she's a keeper - the Girl not the ship. ^^ You should marry her asap! Also, check the WG shop now and then, chances are, that someone from WG is reading this and decide to put engagement rings in the shop in a nice Bundle.

The only thing i want, and care about atm - apart from Grinding all Tech trees - is the Tirpitz. I want her back on sale, even if it means shelling out lots of coin for an overpriced Bundle. I hope WG puts her back on sale when the new Trees hit on 19th.

Well, that's how the game works. You unlock one ship, do battles in it until you have the required XP for the next ship. Rinse, lathe and repeat. You can skip ships by using free XP, but i wouldn't recommend it. The XP collected on an Elite ship can be changed to free XP with Dubloons which you can buy for real money in the shop. Do yourself AND your teammates the favour and don't skip ships, nothing will get you faster flamed in chat ( apart from teamkills) then a player that plays ships on a Tier he shouldn't be at.

Ich habe mir die Warspite kürzlich gekauft, der Preis von 50€ (mit Beilagen) war zwar heftig und ich habe zweimal darüber nachdenken müssen aber das Schiff ist es Wert. Neben der Murmansk das beste Premiuim Schiff - die anderen Schiffe im shop sind eher "Collectibles". Die Tirpitz würde ich mir auch sofort holen (mit Beilagen), wenn sie den erhältilich wäre, leider habe ich es verpasst sie mir zu kaufen als sie im Shop war. Aber laut Devs ist sie wie die Warspite als "rare" eingestuft und kommt - wenn überhaupt - erst zu Xmas. Enttäuschend was WG da treibt... Falls jemand noch einen funktionierenden Code für die Tirpitz hat und diesen noch nicht eingelöst, wäre ich bereit diesen zu kaufen. Über den Preis würden wir uns schnell einig werden, bei interesse bitte PM an mich.

While your point is valid to a degree*, i don't think one should blame the Devs because people can't be arsed to read patchnotes or even look up the basic game mechanics. *there could be a an accustic notification, however there's also situational awareness and the information displayed on the upper HUD and the minimap. This in combination with reading up gamemechanics and occasionally patchnotes...you catch my drift

Tirpitz for Xmas?? I missed the last sale and was hoping it would come back on sale when the German Crusier line gets released on 19th. In fact i didn't care that much about the new lines, all i wanted was the Tirpitz. That's actually disappointing. If anyone has working Tirpitz Code for EU Server and wants to sell it,please drop me a pm, we can negotiate the Price.

Poor patching? Nope. It's sad that no one bothers to read the patch notes, the link was in the launcher.

I'm playing every day at least 15 games, how comes that i never encountered someone who can shoot that good - with every salvo? If really that many players would use that tool, it would be noticeable stats-wise. Well, if i show my Broadside to one or more opponents, i do get Citadels, but that's why i avoid as much as possible showing my Broadside. What i however do see very often is, teammates doing the Lemming Trek to one side of the map instead of covering both flanks ( i call it the "butchers walk of shame" ^^ ). People who stay in Zoom view for ever and don't pay attention to what's happen around them (... all that matters is what i see...where the hell came the Torps from? Must be cheating). People that think capping is sooo yesteryear and leave the cap circle while the enemy team is capping ours. Borderhuggers and "Snipers", people who think one kill and a defeat yields more XP and Coin than tons of damage and a Victory. And people who think teamplay is sooo overrated, as everyone knows that in multiplayer games there's always ONE to rule them all - those folks are suffering heavily from the "Chosen One Syndrome" and are quite disappointed when they get one-shotted, destroyed by OP DDs/CLs/BBs/ CVs - either that or cheaters! And the only possible and logic explanation is: cheaters - all of 'em. I do agree that such tools need to be squished the moment they appear, or the modsupport disabled entirely. But running around and yelling "cheaters everywhere" isn't the right thing to do, 'cause in most cases the folks that got sunk screwed up or had bad luck.

I'm curious, what happens when you buy a Premium ship you already have?
