Regardless of tier, you'll likely need the same amount of games to hit R1. There's no sense of entitlement, obviously you're fine with getting less of a reward for the same accomplishment and that's your opinion.

He's probably right there. No one brawled last season too early as you'd just be slain by torps. I really couldn't make the Bismarck work for me but I still hit R1 regardless. I want to try in the Nagato this time if CVs don't work out.

The rewards aren't exactly huge even without the nerfs It's about £9 in doubloons for R1 which is hundreds of games worth of time.

Container Nerf too. WG don't want you to farm flags. Spend moar money mindless potatoes!!

I love being slapped with the Nerf bat. WG hit me again!

True, it's just so under armoured though. Will be fun to shoot... I'll still likely buy it in time, just won't be waiting on the release date.

I think it might have the Iowa raised citadel but that can be checked via mods in port. Essentially though yes, I'm not really paying attention to this ship now. I may get it if it's priced ok and I've got spare money. Already got too many ships.

At least pro gamer wannabes can all buy a Missouri, with Black any half decent team needs to find a Unicum 5 times Ranked winner. WG don't want this to be pro anyway, it's clear to see from the direction the game is taking.

My abuse of Nikolai and Gremy has led me to think in Random Battles this ship won't be an issue since there will be so few of them. Will mess up competitive gaming and gift automatic wins to teams that play folk without one.

Personally I've seen a lot of bad Gremy players. The ship itself has no weaknesses other than bad turrets, even the HE on it is insane. Considering Anshan is a nerfed version and sits a tier higher!

I actually haven't used her since the new captain skills and my Nikolai acquisition.

Convoy got fixed but only after much rage, I see it as an overall win for the players even it was totally unnecessary in a perfect world. Maybe I'd rage about Scharn if I was German! I've wondered about the EU PR/Community staff sometimes and their purpose too

Personally I think NA missions are easier because they're got a smaller population. Small enough to put more care into their game as too many $hitstorms might empty them out. I think I'd rather rewards just popped up after battle than just chasing after silly missions. I've thrown games and upset folk by openly saying I was chasing missions, personal gain and a lot of annoyed people lol. Just make them easier with similar rewards. As if the rewards were good and I had to ram ships or farm 160k of varied damage I'm still not going to bother.

You act surprised WG don't marry up with historic real life events?

It's been that way for a good few months now. Higher tier ships are good and often have few or no weaknesses but the gameplay is either boring (call it tactical if you like but First Blood after 10 mins doesn't excite me) or has awful players that drag down teams. Potatoes seem to cause less damage at the mid levels.

It's not bad but it's also quirky, can't really play her as a trainer the same way as an Arizona or Missouri.

I'm half wondering if AA buffing Naga is even worth it. Simply equipping Manual AA on Gnesi does more than a Naga can dream of. I have taken CE on Naga but she's still seen from miles away, 14.5 or so km. True what you say about FP, I haven't taken it on any BB and rarely burn down. I'd consider taking Vigilance and Adrenaline Rush. Torp spotting would help and a 32s reload is slow and in a clutch situation you may need that extra few seconds reload speed.

Doubt WG will release any new CVs until they bring the promised changes to CV play. I think it's mostly fine, just needs some interface tweaks

Prior to the Hull A's being removed they screamed SHOOT AT ME!! The amount of Hull A Amagi's I've farmed Just give us Haruna, charge some money and a lot of us would be happy...

lel your signature, clearly an Axis fan... Just an IJN BB that's painless to play. Mutsu is going to be a challenge and unique. All the USN Prem BB are easy and need no adapting or special play style. I'm not saying release more Prinz Eugen type ships, just one decent trainer.

T6 Ranked to the top would be very interesting. The meta could be totally different as DDs wouldn't be that strong and the only fast BB is the Dunker.

Can't be far off. Could even be tomorrow morning or the weekend! Still, when the USN have all those decent BB trainers all the IJN gets is this. New pics of the Alabama recently...

It's a totally different ship class but essentially yes... Is meant to have an amazing torp belt as it's been data mined i think.

I'd totally do that and taste the salt. Then taste it again when they complain to the forum. If it's being given out as a reward then use it to it's fullest!

Hiryu is strong yes but we'll see how the AA buffs have affected her. I'm going with Strike Saipan. I feel less but better squadrons will help me keep a lid on controlling them. AS one is fail imo as the single DB isn't actually going to be striking many targets and you're screwed if you miss even once.
