The "Giulio Cesare" is in "Premium" shop!
pzkpfwv1d replied to Leo_Apollo11's topic in General Discussion
October Revolution is not that good, very slow and sluggish turret rotation, poor armour but in the right circumstances can be very effective if you are very very very very lucky Guilio Cesare - far better, more speed and turning circle, better turret rotation and a lot better all round. 2 battles, first against T7 not very good in this match but against T5 a lot better performance -
The Kamikazi R and the Fujin were originally introduced as premium ship prizes in competitions and were supposed to be better than there standard counter parts otherwise why would players have played the requisite number of battles necessary to acquire the premium ship in the first case. Therefore, lets us have no more talk about altering the stats on these ships

Clanwar excluding 90%+ of players from competitive

CW is not possible in smaller clans where nobody is communicating despite being online so I left the clan I was in - was 4th highest oil contributor but commander and deputy commanders would not even answer clan chat messages, now I am hoping to get into a more active clan so that I can participate in Clan Wars but because my stats are low all I am getting is nothing -

The 'unanswered questions about Clan Battles' thread
pzkpfwv1d replied to Bellegar's topic in General Discussion
I have a question - why has prime time been set at CEST 21:00, this seems to penalise players who live in counties that are operating in time zones out side of Central Europe and European Russia 21:00 CEST is currently 22:00 UK time (due to Summertime), however, this will change to 23:00 at the end of the month. In places like the Eastern USA and Canada, Mexico, Brazil etc, prime time will fall after midnight but before the start of the normal next day I have a second question - will there be an opportunity to join an existing clan battle as a mercenary player if there are no members of your clan who can be online during the unreasonable prime time slot -
Play the same ship in a new battle, before the battle ends, after you are sunk?
pzkpfwv1d replied to Hawg's topic in General Discussion
I generally requeue straight away but sometimes if the battle is close I will watch and offer advice or suggestions as the case may be -
What appears to have happened hear is an over penetration and then splash damage from the shell actually hitting the water very close to target This is actually something that was recorded during both world wars when heavy shells hit or come very close to hitting lighter ships such as light cruisers and destroyers. A - after the shell has passed through the ship, it hits the water at such an angle that the shell shatters in to fragments and multiple fragments hit the original target hence more damage B - the shell missed but is very large and throws a column of water into the air which can be up to 200 ft tall which then crashes down onto the deck of the target ship causing damage (it was noted that at long range the plunging fire from 14" and above rifled guns could produce very large water columns which could do nearly as much damage to lighter ships as if the shell had actually hit the ship)

OKTYABRSKAYA REVOLUTSIYA in the shop & mission
pzkpfwv1d replied to SteDorff's topic in General Discussion
I bought the standard bundle because I wanted a Russian battleship in my inventory - first battle with the stock commander issued with ship was not brilliant, then I decided to change commander for a level 12 and the second battle was much better -
Well, I think it is about time I threw my hat in the ring Currently including premium ships I have 166 in port (yes that does include ships that players were able to win such as Emden and the ARP ships plus Kamikazi R and Fujin) of which 55 are premium ships Just added a new premium today (could not resist my first Russian Battleship) Missing some because I did not manage all the tasks for them or did not get far enough on the Ranked Battles Did not buy GZ as it did not look that good from what other players were saying about it. Have not bought Alabama yet either I like my Dunkerque, and her captain is well on the way to being elite I have played every ship in port at least once and some a lot more than that

rant ( my first ever tier10 ) what the ... is this ?
pzkpfwv1d replied to wot_chikor's topic in General Discussion
Never sell ships, always wait until you have enough credits to get the ship you want -
This thread is a nice comedy turn, I forget when I last played my Myogi, probably on one of the missions where you have to score X damage with T4 plus ships what would you comedy turns for the following battleships and battlecruisers be HMS Hood HMS Nelson IJN Kii Let us see if you can give us some more laughs

What the hell is a "BBaby" and why is it so popular ?!
pzkpfwv1d replied to Lieutenant_Hubert_Gruber's topic in General Discussion
Well, I still play other ships but at the moment trying to grind BB's for those elusive T10 ships, as you can see from the attached image, despite lots of shells fired I only got 9 hits with main armament but travelled quite a distance. Despite the team losing I still got more than 2k experience -

If WG would allow some real ship nerfing and you could build you own ships then I think I would come up with the meanest battleship every devised (and yes I did build a 1/72nd scale model of it which was more than 22 foot long, nearly 4ft wide and 42 inches from waterline to fighting tops (no chance of stealth as everyone would see it but who could damage it)) Main armament 24 80cm canone in quadruple turrets (one huge quantity of damage to any ship hit) Secondary armament - 48 381mm guns in triple turrets - 8 turrets per side Tertiary armament - 84 155mm guns in triple turrets and 64 203mm sponson mounted guns Total displacement more than 6.5 million imperial tons Speed 37.5 knots Armour - up to 37.5" AA - 128 twin 105mm, 512 40mm in twin or quadruple mounts plus more than 1000 smaller AA Flight deck and hangar for 48 fighter aircraft This would be able to stand off most enemy teams But it would not be allowed -

I might have that many battles but they are spread across all ship types as I am working my way up to having a complete set of T10 ships (only have GK so far but 3 T9's also (Iowa, Taiho and Ibuki) My Battleships tend to die somewhere around rows 5 to 3 generally (starting from row 8) CV's are hard to use but they can cause a lot of damage, like Russian cruisers, if a scenario calls for lots of fires you can not go far wrong with them or the Atlanta Destroyers are hard to use as well And do not even ask how many ships I have in port -

Oh, that is what you meant, thought you were referring to some modpack (I do not use them). I use rudder and speed keys all the time. Can be difficult to avoid torpedoes, especially if there are a lot of them, can also be rather difficult if you find that your team mates have left you out on a limb and you are facing 3 or more battleships plus destroyers and torpedo bombers, if you turn to avoid the torps, you get critical damage from the battleships -

I was giving this as a rule of thumb, I actually tend to play far more aggressively with any battleship What do you mean by WASD -

pzkpfwv1d replied to Lieutenant_Hubert_Gruber's topic in General Discussion
A battleship is designed to take and give heavy punishment, in some situations it might be advisable to hang back and shoot from long range, in other situations it might be advisable to close to medium range and deal damage from there, and in other situations it might be advisable to move to close range for maximum effect. The choice of engagement range is dictated to by your p[lay style and the type of battleship that you are using for the particular engagement. However, remember, battleships are vulnerable to torpedoes as they have a large turning circle in most cases (this is a fact of the game and of real life as well). Furthermore, certain cruisers have high rates of fire and a battleship is a large target and can receive a lot of damage from fire (fire actually killed more ships that any other cause during both world wars) -

My problem is the fact that you seem unable to make a comments without throwing out insults, innuendo and derogatory comments. I have been observing the posts in various categories and virtually every post you have made has had either innuendo, derogatory comments or insults - I seem to recall that even the term that is used as a heading for this thread was coined by you. If you were able to make your point without the use of the above, maybe other players would take more notice of what you are trying to say -

Does this person honestly think that he can get away with constantly throwing out innuendo, insults and derogatory comments -

Judging by the general attitude, a lot of players just seem to whine away on the from and actually produce any viable input whatsoever. There, please less derogatory comments from multi post players and more actual consistent and helpful input -

So that is where it is, however, there is a roadblock - get 200 main gun rounds with a T8 or higher ship, not managed that yet despite trying numerous times -
I beg to differ and correct you, ob your third point regarding what is now known as chaff, the RAF did use chaff on one notable occasion - 617 squadron was used to drop chaff to spoof the german radar into thinking that there was a massive invasion fleet heading towards the Pas de Calais on 6th June, the aircraft had to fly at a set speed and drop window (yes it was called window then) at time intervals so that it appeared that there were columns of ships heading towards the french coat. The Germans were mystified as to why the invasion did not come when they had located what they thought was the invasion fleet. this along with other deception's was part of the reason that the 7th Army was retained in that area until well after the actual invasion had succeeded in Normandy

The idea is to never discard a ship once you have researched and built it The only one that I can see of the missions is the one that requires the Shinonome, I do not have one, it is not in the tech tree and also not in the shop, therefore WG are asking the impossible here I will probably struggle on some of the others but they are possible with the ships I have in port Japan - CV to T9, BB to T8, CR to T9, DD1 to T7 and DD2 to T7 plus premium ships (all currently in tech tree plus ARP and S Dragon ships and 2 special DD's) 8CV, 14 BB, 17 CR and 11 DD USA - CV T8, BB T9, CR T7 and DD T6 - plus premium ships (all in tech tree except Alabama and Enterprise) 6CV, 10 BB, 10 CR and 5 DD Germany - BB T10, CR T7, DD T6 - plus premium ships (all in tech tree (not Graf Zepplin) plus HSF Graf Spee) 10 BB, 11 CR and 4 DD UK - BB T5, CR T8 - plus premium ships (all in tech tree) 6BB, 9CR and 2 DD France - CR T7 - plus premium ships (Dunkerque and De Grasse) 8CR and 1BB USSR - CR T8 DD T6 plus premium ships (all in tech tree) 15 CR and 7DD Miscellaneous - Duca D'Aosta, Perth, Blyskawica, Anshan and Lo Yang Total - 14 Aircraft carrier, 41 battleships, 72 cruisers and 32 destroyers. Given this spread and the fact that I also use all types of ships the precis that there is a preponderence of BB's in the game is proven to be a fallicy
