It's a CV.... Your title is like saying "snow is white" "charcoal" is black. Duh... Except for that 0.001% players who know how to CV with all its handicaps, nerfs and uselesness, your title is like saying: the RN line is a powerful shipline, you won't get citadelled at all regardless of what ship or ammo type used. Ridiculous!!!

I 100% agree with you on this one Aotearas! +1 for your input. Edit: and fix the "save key" settings while you're at it WG. It's only been, 10 or 15 patches ago since this was broken? So the red tape should by now be finished....

Kutfroat. I understand your problem perfectly! Thanks for sharing this! I have THE absolute 100% working cheat so you will never EVER have to face the Ocean map again. Go to your main screen on your computer. Right click "my computer" and click "properties" then go to "configuration screen" Double click it, and go to "programs" Double click that and you'll see a list of programs: double click "world or warships" and confirm with "yes!!!!" 100% guarantee you will never ever face the ocean map again! Edit: seriously. I'm getting a bit tired of this whining. Of course there are maps which I don't like (Islands of ice f.e.). But what I noticed the maps are thus designed both sides have 99,9% equal circumstances. That .1% is some maps seem to have a very slightly advantage over the apporoach vectors of caps. Can't honoustly recall the name of the map (after 4k of battles I can't still remember the map names) but I mean the map in which the circle caps came in first. Spawning in the south has the slight disadvantage of the island before the B cap IMO. But that's, again in my opinion, a very slight disadvantage. But speaking of which: I ALWAS seem to spawn at the south end of that map. As well on 2 brothers (I can recall 1 or 2 times I did spawn in the north). Islands of ice: west in the vast majority, Solomon islands: 90% in the south, Estuary: south (99% from my feeling, no hard numbers) etc. Is that me or is anyone else experiencing the same thing?

All my games this evening. Defeats that is. Absolutely no clue whatsoever what's going wrong or that I'm doing wrong. But it seems that as soon as someone hits the A key from spawn, that'll cost us 4 ships in the blink of an eye. Nothing I try seems to work, which did seem very recently. I actually feel totally embarresed. overnight i've turned from a mediocre player to the lousiest perfrorming noob!! Getting 5 salvo's of HE on my @[edited], from behind an island @ extreme range, while changing speed/ course with 5 fires in a row (1 double in 1 salvo). man, that's a total score i can only dream of when playing Ibuki with all the relevant flags and capt skills (yes aiming at superstructures for that matter). Wanting to torp BB's: not spamming them right away, they go in straight lines for seconds, making nice spreads (not fire them all at once in the same direction) and the instant moment I launch the last spread they make a "anchor "Battleships" handbreakturn" away!! Guess it's "1 of those nights again." I'm afraid I sacrificed the wrong goat to RNG-us (it IS white goat Thursday, isn't it?!?!). anyway: I call it a day. Used the Alt-F4 cheat and BLUNT! (better luck next time)

I had to start over after the paragraph OP before I saw your sublime irony with good sense of humor! I can perfectly understand how you feel. Though I only agree on the BaBy whining part. As much as I like playing BB's myself I never participated in those whining threads. But I like cruiserplay as well and IMO it's not that bad as you describe for non-RN cruisers. Yeah, IMO for those your statement is pretty much accurate. I rarely see RN cruisers in battle: very stealthy ships. They either hide behind a rock, in their smoke or on the bottom for 99% of the game time (that 1% is occupied by sailing to the rock/ bottom). Yes a BB shot can hurt. A lot indeed: a salvo can 1 shoot you in fact. My big "but" however: 1 shot is not that common for the "secret mystified high society clan aware of the "A" and "D" keys. Furthermore: besides that even not so common lucky shot from BaBy snipers the hardest shots are in mid/ close range. Yeah, you can take a -50% hit on that range, but you can fire back 2 or 3 salvo's in the time he's reloading or send out the fish. My point: plenty opportunity to retaliate. As far of the DD's... I'm not having much problems with them. Biggest threat are the ships you fondly are saying farwell to now... meaning the non-RN line again of course (from now on I mean all non-RN cruisers so not to repeat myself): I'm not going to run away from such a cruiser in my DD. Some HE citadels and he's in cover the rest of the match again. This being said from my part I must admit: those cruisers that I see get smashed away pretty soon and easily are those moron-players running off alone to some point in nowhere, as far from the fleet as possible only to be outfocussed 1 minute later. Of course I know better than to think you are such a player OP....

I don't mind. Indeed: this all for free and an wonderful mission. We've been through this: but I still hope the "redundant captains" will be dismissable some day though. Free portslots are always welcome for OCD collector idiots like me! Thanks MrC! Edit: that's why I'm not keeping a list of "ships in port" in my signature. Want to spare you a wall of text every time I'm spamming the Forum!

V-class ships... That means they must certainly will be eqcuiped with V1 and V2 rockets!!

Lol. Nice to see the insights are changing during the game evolution. IMO it depends how you look at it: worst/ best ship. I actually quite like Mogami. When played optimal it's a beast of a DD hunter/ BB BBQ-er. Having done great matches playing it. I'm only hardly ever allowed to win using the ship. But winning is only 1/12th infuluence on my part. The ship which I play with the most aversion is still the Baltiless. Only excells in AA (IMO) and eating citadels. Which is "great" since I only seem to encounter CV's when playing DD's.... I'm not even curious to the DM anymore.

Nah. From my professional POV (physician): that's hardly 1 drop of blood. To make a good sacrifice I'd say 8.10exp9. That would eq about 1 liter...

Could be RNG-us' wrath foo. I'm 'suffering' it as well. One moment you're deleting everything in your path, the next you are amazed to hit the water. My solution: take your BB's out for a good overhaul, bring out the other boats and try again later. Sooner or later you'll have RNG-us 'grace' again when you've repent for your 'sins.'

Like I posted in the other thread. Fact is we don't know anything. I'll just wait and see.

Wouldn't have a clue. I don't play CV's very often. I can see the charm in them though. But for me it's too simplistic, I don't like you have to chose a setup beforehand (because I always chose the wrong one). Few weeks ago I thought: heck, let's give it a try once more. 1 or 2 CV games per session. I managed a TK. Stupid accident. But I got punished double for 1 error: it sunk myself as well. Got 16 pink games penalty and it took me 18 flawless games to get rid of it. Also I'm not planning to get bankrupt because the CV economy isn't fixed yet. So thanks but no thanks. I'll stick to sailing, pointing and shooting. Only when there are events like the diamonds where I 'must' play CV's. Bogue fighter setup, spam games and back to port till the next event.

OK give him a break. He has become a member in september (oh HOW poetic!!!). So I can understand this 1. (-;

Though quite off Forum (we have floating tanks). It is recognisable. But not to be overcome for me. I just accepted the fact there are "those periods" in which nothing seems to succeed, not enough sacrifices made to RNG: so RNG works against you in both ways: your ships suddenly seems to be made of a extreme flammable citadel equiped with a torpedo catcher and airplane becon. While your ship has the "secret third ammo" which, as far as rumors go, consists of very soft and pfluffy Pikachoo fur and your torpedo's instantly seem to have been equiped with a rudder, in order to avoid the enemy ships as much as possible: you don't want to get your torpedo's getting damaged!! And all those periods will end sooner or later and you'll find your ships have been downgraded to normal ammo, fire prevention and armor. AKA: it sucks sometimes and it's glorious most of the times! I find the alt-F4 hack come in handy very much when I get infuriated...

My god. I thought you were given a bad diagnosis. But you're whining about a game?!

Well I like the economy changes and do enjoy the premcams as well. I'm not in that 0.001% of outstanding players who claims to have had a bad match if they only make 0.5 M profit. As far as my understanding about stats is going I'm very mediocre skilled. This is confirmed by my results after battle. Usually in the middle range. sometimes chamo, sometimes biggest loser. (my Karma score of 95 is saying I'm doing something right. (OK, lets make that 75% net because of the Forum compliments (-;)) Always doing my utmost best to play my role to my best abilities. Before the, in my case, eco buff my T9 and 10's were rusting away in port. Now I start to feel comfortable in the t9's. Finally I'm no longer guaranteed punished for doing my best. Yeah, still losing here and there but those were major screw ups from my part in most of the cases. So together with the premcams I really like the higher tiers now. And nobody's forcing you to take them?

Yes this a issue already debated. I don't understand why a captain can't get back to a previous ship for free. But the opinions on that 1 are divided. For now it's always training or paying up for switching between regular ships. You don't have that problem with regular to premium transfers though.

Sorry. Can't muster up a sensible answer. All my thoughts are only shouting: Tetris, Tetris, Tetris....

It seems ok to me too. Can't see if you're running premium or had the first win bonus. I assume you didn't have both those matches. And there are "those matches" in which you can hardly accomplish anything: you just picked the wrong side and have to sail back forever into the action, RNG-us is saying "nope" all the time. Had that yesterday. And looking to your stats I see you unlocked Konig already. Unasked word of advice for maybe preventing you to make the same mistake I made: don't rush the tiers. Please enjoy every ship touroughly before advancing. Things are not getting easier the higher the tier. On the contrary. I'm grinding the KM BB line now since about 2 months and I've the Konig as well. My captain must have at least 10 points before I even consider going over.

I'd say Hipper. But IMO also the most boring. It excells IMO in nearly nothing. Chapayev. 2 Hipper. It's more agile and have better chance of escaping hairy situations IMO. Citadel wise: I think Hipper has an extreme better chance of not getting a citadel. Give or take I'd say at least 0,00005% less chance. I'd say Hipper again.

Raziel puts it spot on. Adept your skills and be the annoyance in the match again. Remember the name "cruiser" The word is derived from the primary naval country in the world: "kruiser" Which means "to cross" The cruisers were designed to criss-cross around their fleets in order to detect pirates sooner. Together with some toughness they could start to engage the enemies while the heavy galleons could come sail to their aid. In game it means: wiggle, change speed contantly when detected in a unpredictable patern. Also consider well before you open fire: don't just start shooting at the first blip on your even horizon: you'll draw attention too early and get focussed down while your shot has a very good chance of missing. Start shooting once you're detected and before you open up: already begin to turn. That way you'll have a far better chance of dodging incoming. DD's are your main objectives. And especially in the IJN cruisers: don't forget your torps... Of course: be carefull for your teammates, but remember to leave a parting gift if you retreat: you'll never know what you might hit... I've sent dozens of players to the next game that way. Next opponents of importance are cruisers themselves: in this care bee keen of the situation in order to chose the right ammo type. Try to avoid direct confrontations with BB's. But if you're forced into that by the situation: keep as slim a profile as possible and for the love of Pete: change speeds!!! 0 shells hit is better than 1, 1 is better than 2 etc. And get into as close range as possible to a BB. Crazy as that might sound: their prim guns have a harder time keeping up with you and the chance of overpens to you is increased. And you might pull off a torpsuicide run. No guarantees in any of my suggetions but it'll keep you longer in the game I hope. You're not the only 1 OP. Aoba and Myoke may seem quite familiar on paper and by the looks but it's the increased player experience that you'll have to compensate. And don't rage: learn from better players.

Oh yeah I'm having a ball with the RN cruisers!! Hammering them into the floor over and over! Never got so many dev strikes since their release! I rarely see them in game though: either benath the waves or hiding behind a rock the entire match. Please: come into the battle RN cruisers! It's so fun to ram you to smitherenes!

MM is DD and CV wise very acceptable nowadays. 1 DD difference is totally to be overcome. It only needs the 1 main ever (ok almost..) recurring absent aspect: teamwork...

OK, but the 20 mil creds was after we divisioned. Now I don't want to brag as well but in all modesty I feel like my presence has been of profound influence on that matter...

Let's not get rattled up beforehand and wait untill we have more details. It does sound nice though and it immediately covers my why no tier 1, 9, 10 prem question as well.
