Will start of with the Horst, since I feel comfortable in her. And also to check out how this ranked meta will be in regards to RPF. Depending on that I'll spec my Sims for either RPF (too) or for max. DMG output. And a IFHE Belfast for the occasional HE-lol-pen battle. Greetings

Thanks to the three of you. Could be right to divide the shown DMG by the numbers of torps in each launcher to get the DMG per torp. Greetings

Quick question while I digest those numbers: Am I reading the 40+k alpha DMG on those torpedos right? That sounds pretty darn evil to me. Or am I missing something. Greetings

Simple: Even a BB that is bad at aiming and angling is supporting a cruiser or DD inside the cap, just by its presence close to the cap. Either it scares some incoming enemies or it gives the enemz someone else to shoot at. And even if this BB gets focused down, the time it takes to delete that BB (roughly 3 to 6 salvos from enemy BBs), is enough time for a DD to cap, or a cruiser to attack an enemy DD. Nope. While it would help some BBs that currrently learning (as in: are willing to learn how to propper BB), the majority of camping BB players that I've met did this whilst accepting that they'll loose money with their playstyle. They simply don't want to learn or change their trained playstyle. Nothing you can do about it. Greetings

Just today I had the pleasure of meeting a quite relaxed player in his Nagato cruising on the 10 line on Shards. While the battle chat was quite heated up, because I didn't like what he was doing (he brought the usual points, like 'what do I have 23km range for, if I don't use it' or 'I am effective, see I battle this Gneisenau, that's equally far from the cap'). We lost because the enemy BBs pushed with all their might into each cap. After the battle I wrote him, apologized for the iffy talk in battle, but I don't like being left out hanging in a cruisers, supporting the DDs, when the BB is way back. He responds, that BBs shouldn't cap, that's a job for cruisers and DDs. And the way he told me that, assured me, that he was perfectly fine with loosing, so any credit or XP punishments would be pointless. By now I'm quite certain that even if Wargaming put in tons of tutorials for the different roles a certain type of ship needs to fullfill, you'd still have BBs camping and sniping in the back. If one player refuses to learn, you can't to anything. The only way (and that's a way I'm equally certain WG will never go) I see would be to implement skill walls for all classes. As in: "You unlocked a T7 ship. Prove in these three practical scenarios (with your current T6 ship) and a written test, that you understood what you have to do in your ship." Greetings

I'd say, that for every Flint you'll face in this upcoming ranked season, you'll face at least 2 Scharnhorsts and 2 Belfasts per match! Greetings

I listened to it, and it was Sub_Octavian's colleague (Andre?? the one missing yesterday) that thinks the Balti is ok. Sub_Octavian has indeed problems with Pensa and Balti. Greetings

Not really 'News from RU' but anyone following the current stream on twitch with Quema and Sub_Octavian? Greetings

Currently set up IFHE on the 155 Mogami (with DE) and on my beloved Königsberg (without DE). Still too few games to give a sound conclusion, but it feels right. And the Mogami is still an evil firestarter! Will give the RU DDs a try though... Greetings

Hey there just checked: NO specific order of nations required. Do whichever nation you wan't first/last! Also, I assume that the Dragon will be a seperate nation? Just like ARP? Greetings

Yeah, I know it's only one day after patch day, but got it updated already? Greetings

First of: Very well put! Sound and reasonable! Kudos to that! Second: "The PRO aspect..." was the answer to my question and I asked what positive aspects the devs see in this skill. Because everytime someone brought a negative point on the devs/CMs responded with 'there are good things about it'. Since those points were never adressed, I tried to pinpoint Sub_Octavian on the positive things. And while I did understand his points, I'm not good with them. In retrospect, I maybe should've worded my question a bit less confusing. On the other hand, it wouldn't have had that much impact on clearing up this situation. Greetings

Nope not in it. Just checked my NA account... Greetings

Nope! Ich geh mal noch kurz die Quelle suchen, aber es ist sichergestellt, dass dein Kapitän genau so viele Punkte hat wie vorher (selbst wenn das bedeutet, dass er dann mehr XP aufm Konto hat) Beispiel: 0.5.16.1: 15 Punkte bei 1,2 Mio XP 0.6.0: 15 Punkte bei 1,3 Mio XP Greetings

In regards to AGM2 ammo buff: Q: I understand this, as you (the devs) see/think that the current CV game play is too strongly balanced around high skill players? *Those who didn't follow the 060 QnA. the previous answer in regards to the AMG2 ammo buff was, that the goal is to buff USN CVs mostly with the focus on less skillfull players. A: Greetings

On a sidenote: It still baffles me that information regarding upcoming things flows from a third party plattform back to the official forums (and not the other way round...) Greetings

Answer in regards to what PRO arguments exist for RDF: Greetings

So basically the assumption for the 19th/20th this week holds true... ok Greetings

Done and promoted (where I got a few "Done" from some fellow div mates). Greetings

@Zenturio: Es war einfach Pech und ja light, medium, heavy DMG läuft prozentual ab. Wenn du auf einen Schlag 17k von deinen 20k (oder wieviel hat die Fletcher) verloren hast, sind das 85%. Ist nur logisch, dass das Spiel dir dann 'zu hören gibt', dass du kräftig Schaden genommen hast. Ich hatte solche Geräusche schon des öfteren in DDs (z.B. erst neulich als meine Kiev mit 12k HP auf einen Schlag 6k kassiert hat) @Drake: Nochmal: DDs haben keine Zitadelle! Es ist am wahrscheinlichsten, dass die AP Geschosse der Iowa die Fletcher der Länge nach durchschlagen haben und dadurch der Zünder ausreichend Zeit hatte das Geschoss zur Detonation zu bringen. Greetings

1. DDs haben keine Zitadelle (folglich kannst du auch keine Delle kassiert haben) 2. Im englischen Client steht nicht "Citadel Damage" sondern "Critical Damage" (Quelle: Ich spiele auch auf englisch). Ist ja auch logisch da du auf einen Schlag (also mit einer Salve) 17k DMG zu erhalten, sorgt auch bei DDs für den wummernden Ton, den man sonst nur beim Einschlag in die Zitadelle hört. Woher die 17k genau kommen hat Meltion schon treffend erklärt. Also: Kein Bug, einfach nur Pech! Greeting

Sorry didn't mean to attack you or anything Good for him and maybe it's just tied to the amount of gold (20k is a tiny bit more than 2k ) Greetings

Interesting (not that I have any Gold in WoT) but the sub on reddit gives quite a few negative responses from support though... Greetings

In regards to the transfer, reddit brought this up: https://i.gyazo.com/833b749bdf3a6814470dc97929166b21.png reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfWarships/comments/5o42d8/psa_apparently_if_you_have_2000_gold_in_wot_or/ So apparently it is limited to the RU server only! Greetings

Not only WG but also quite a bunch of YouTubers and Streamers as well. There are already videos out there regarding all (new system of gaining XP and the new skills) Greetings
