Just very unlucky... I lost one of my Sims launchers in 200 odd Ranked battles.

Was a little hidden but I knew it started today from notes yes...

The news link isn't usually until the afternoon, they release stuff early in the morning but their writers clearly start work after their web monkeys.

Very limited edition last year I think. Literally sold for days... You might want to send Support a ticket but most Prem ships are rewarded with doubloons for duplicates. I bought a WoT duplicate recently and got gold back.. I remember top Hood bundle being £99. Guess I was wrong

I imagine you'll get a doubloon refund, I paid 1k doubloons for my Mercia camo. Was well worth it

Kaga isn't that strong. Imo it's a Random Battle potato farmer, comes stuck vs good CVs

Amusingly Big E Wallet Warrior bundle is less than the Hood top package was however...

Texas Merica camp is amazing, it's there to troll people when you farm them. I just wish my Missouri had it too... The Big E price

I am going Warspite too... It's turning circle, it's guns, it's secondaries and it's lel heal (I got a game where I took 93k effective damage but didn't sink) all these add up to make her the best suited BB. Mutsu and Arizona run close, Mutsu because of powerful guns but she's big and fat. Arizona is tanky but maybe a bit on the slow side. Also Arizona can do fine vs T6 CVs if you spec her for AA range and have a high tier USN BB captain in her, no more Pearl Harbour jokes

Gun range and detection being tied together is utterly mind bending too. Like how it makes sense to deliberately have your DD keep stock FCS just to get detection edge...

Yes, basically if more Cruisers had the sort of stealth the Atago has then they'd be far more effective. You'll still get potato whine but they'd deserve it as they would likely have no gun discipline. I only got the idea of Cruisers being given stealth always below BB from using the aforementioned Atago to devastating effect in Ranked...

Little reason to use it now that Pepsi got buffed... Although T7 USN Cruisers function like poor man's BB the way their 203mm performs vs other Cruisers. Slapping your competition for 10k salvos can be fun. As with all cruisers get priority targeting and engage brain before firing. E.g let BBs and non thinking Cruisers fire and get focused first then open fire, stop when your targeted use rudder and slip into stealth. Repeat until a lucky citadel blows you up or you run out of things to shoot...

USN BB are lulz with CE. NC falls to something insane like 11.9km detection and Iowa to something like 12.3km. Largest US BB ever made and Merica even had a stealth paint job too I feel slightly bad Tirp got given 10km seconds as I used to use her as a Ninja mid range finger of death. Deleting cruisers who have no idea you are there doesn't get old. Problem is some BBs need stealth to win vs even bigger BBs. I don't mind being in T10 games in my Alabama but I'd certainly have issues if my lul detection was taken away. Maybe give every cruiser better concealment than even the most stealthy BB of their tier? Not much you can do when your T6 Cleveland is stealth deleted by an NC but that's just tough as tier to tier balancing is always going to be difficult

I've seen a fair few land slides like that with no losses.... All time lol is losing a Standard map in about 3 mins where 40k damage got highest XP on the losing team. I kept screenshots as it was that bad.

T10 is a punishment not a reward imo. I'm fairly disappointed that I've hit T10 in all 3 current BB lines as I barely play any these days. They're just big fat XP bubbles waiting to be popped/farmed. Monty is my chosen ship out the 3 but I've used her once since the citadel got sunk. The Perm camp is insanely priced and you'd do better to just spend it on Prem time as any XP you gain needs to be paid again to convert and you best hope you've got a Prem ship matching the skill set. I actually quite like Missouri/Iowa and Fat Freddy (FDG) as those ships are the largest you'll get without feeling like you're steering a complete brick. Besides at T8 and T9 your BB is still a monster that can delete anything under another fatty in 1 strike and packs 70k odd hp with multiple heals. A T8 BB can and will put the hurt on top tier BB (might have issues 1v1 against T10 cruisers if they're good at HE spamming but all BBs have that problem). Just my take on BBs and I've played quite a bit of them...

Thing is these RNG super salvos will slice through BBs too and take 25% or more HP... It's RNG and what happens when stuff starts flying through the air. If this happened every game it would be an issue.

Being deleted from long range is using no rudder and coming out of concealment by shooting... I don't see how it can be without your knowledge, no big ! on your screen?

As a BB I tend to leave stuff under 5k or so if there is lots of HE flying towards them. If someone is asking for the kill I might be half tempted to troll but I'd prob ignore it and do whatever I was going to do anyway.

It's a weird one as I don't think a "normal" QE without any of Warspite's traits other than accuracy would be very well received. Maybe give it a fighter float plane and a bit more HP to make up for the rudder/DCP/heal? Or maybe it'll be something totally different as it's the only ship WG haven't revealed yet. Hope so...

It's going to be weird having QE class ships that don't have op rudders, fast DCP cooldown and zombie flesh regeneration

Lel stages 4 and 5, basically only possible in high tier DD gunboats. Think I'll carry on preparing for Ranked instead...

Maybe for a HT and SPG but everyone else could really do with 6th Sense, which means you'll have to take BiA as the 2nd skill. Whilst it's 3 seconds late, I find it utterly invaluable to staying alive.

Some folk think the original hulls of Kongo and Fuso look awesome but I disagree too. Much prefer their modernized look.

Also Eugen is a Hipper clone. You could get Scharn, grind to Hipper and use Scharn to fund you in case you yolo lose credits...

I have both, please listen to the others. It's not even a choice, go Scharn or go Home. Eugen is pointless when Atago and Kutuzov exist. It has no perks that make it anything but a mediocre/masochist pick at T8. Yeah it's armour and HE got buffed but it's very meh.
