I love it. The night battle with those flares?! Awesome! First defend an attack force and after an assault. Really WG outdid themselves with this mission.

I think Asashio will come back OP. Granted I didn't buy the DD so I might be incorrect but I'm not impressed by it at all. Yes: I've seen Flolo's vid about it. But IMO it's a Trojan Horse: you only fall once for that trick. After even have seen that vid I already knew the trick. To err on the safe side: assume the loading time of those torps is 1.5 minute, spread them at long distance and they will take another minute to arrive. So after 2 minutes my second neuron starts to fire and I roll my face over the keyboard and somehow change my speed and course in my BB and I'll be perfectly fine. In other words: I haven't been nailed by one ever so far.

Sometimes it gets a bit longer to have progress come through. And like Crysantos said; it's being checked out.

It was Y'day to be honest. My clan mate and I decided to go seal clubbing and both took our Impregnator in division. I added the Halloween cammo to look even more horrible! And I made a very fresh famous last word moment! Oh: It's a Myogi, against the two of us. What could he possibly do to us....? I complimented the player for totally going beyond the realm of humiliating me. He shot the living daylights out of my sight! "Hah! Angling! Against THAT ship!?" To add insult to injury: it was in a 2 CV per side match. Granted: no manual drops but still. Impregnator's AA consists of sailors throwing pistols to the planes, hoping to jam their propellors. And the enemy CV's didn't even touch me. So there I was, nearly full health, being shot to sh*t by a Myogi..... That +1 was from the bottom of my heart, soul and some other dark place....

I'm overexcited. Not by the MM issue. But so good to see an "old veteran friend" reappear on the Forum! On Topic: that Yueyang player was only doing a, in essence brilliant, tactic to assure him/ her a solo warrior. And hey: all tactics need improvement and practice! I'm feeling a bit disappointed you, like I said being a battle hardened veteran, don't see that, 22!

Besides. I still think the number is an evergreen!

Around 14k-ish coal. Thanks a lot WG. Really a good job. Now my wife is filing for divorce after the last truck left and completely filled up our home with charcoal. And my plea; "but sweetheart, St Louis' (US) citadel was protected by coal as well, so I'm only trying to mimic the game experience!" ended up with me communicating with her by her lawyer....

Sorry if this has been brought up. Didn't see anything with a shallow search. Please correct me here because surely I must be overlooking something. From my POV it almost seems like I'm able to buy Flint and Black with steel alone. Not that I'm anyway near the reqs but still. Again: I know I'm overlooking something. But how can it be that those ships are available for just grinding?! I thought they were meant for the Ace Stamina players who risked (and probably have received) forced administration to the psych ward for reaching R1 in Rank battles a few times?! It surely can't be the case those reward ships for such extraordinary gamers are now available to peasants like me?!

You did switch it on, did you?

OK, I didn't mean to mock anyone. My whole point is the exclusivity of earning those ships by rank battles. The last season I got to R10. And I was satisfied with it. Tried it in the T10 boats but I saw the mapborder huggers and I couldn't stand it after 1 or 2 battles anymore. I highly respect the players who did manage to get to Flint and Black in this insane noob centered chaos. So my point is: I think it's unfair to be able to earn those ships by normally grinding. Even if I'd win them in 2030. But IIRC I'm already over halfway to Flint and at 1/3 of Black already. With coupon and so called "earned" charcoal. Really?! Coal is the main armament on my beloved St Louis cruiser, protecting my citadel! Again: like I said: what am I missing here? And explain, like I'm a 6 year old, why "deemed OP ships" like Impregnator, Kamikaze (clones), Granny etc aren't available to grind in 2030?

My problem is being to be able to grind those ships, yes, with much effort but still, without meeting the formerly Ranked criteria.

Parallel on topic: am I the only one thinking Shards is by definition a steamroll map? Either on the receiving or delivering side?

I'd take the 10 million steel anytime.... The Nachi mission was a complete disaster IMO. A tough mission? OK. But not destroying 20 Russian cruisers. Hardly anybody played said cruiser at that time. Granted: WG has improved their missions since then. But I feel so sorry for the true fans who didn't make that. But the ARP Nachi mission is beside my point: I find it ridiculous to be able to grind Flint and Black without grinding to R1 several times. OK. Point taken. Still I think said ships should be exclusively to Ranked veterans.

I'm so sorry Butterdoll but I still don't have a clue what you're talking about. Not to mock you, please: don't get me wrong. I simply don't understand what's your point.

John (Steven) will stuck at Missouri. Jack on Monqueror, JJ Honore is traveling through my French BB line. Iso Yama is rotting in the baracks ( don't care for the fireworks, the once in a million first blood/ Kraken). Just as the special German captain is (didn't remember his name TBH, because he has the worst skills for me in this game).

Am I the only one not making anything about OP's post? If not: what's your point OP?

IMO: that SUCKS. Really! I always respect the players playing those ships. Because they had the stamina to grind through the ranks. And I think this is a slap in their face. Again: I lack the stamina to even bother to grind to R1 ever. So I don't deserve those ships. And what's next? Getting ARP Nachi with 10 million steel? I did suffer through that mission, though I heavily complained about it on the forum. Still I made it. I'd be pi**ed off if WG would add this ship to the Arsenal as well. Really: is there any exclusivity in this game?! I think Flint and Black should be rewarded only to the Ranked veterans. And to nobody else.

Lol! The "no camp" is steamrolling the "yes." I also belong to the former... Bought 5 containers just for the sake of fun but no joy. Not complaining though. Just an observation.

From what I've seen on YT and in combat, this ship is extremely situational. Even more so than Atlanta is. So my preliminary advice is not to nerf it at all.

Err usually I get back in time when restarting in that case. Missing the first minute or two. Never had any warnings for that. Also never any reports. Just chatted: sorry, I crashed.

Perhaps not on topic. But am I the only one having this nagging feeling OP is actually POTUS on his EU account?

I can't believe it's every first game. However no direct advice. My "rule of thumb" is I don't play when there are less than 10 k players on the server. Too big a chance I'm being thrown in the lousy team. (Summing a base chance of 75% for that anyhow.) Also maybe starting with a co-op match to "warm up" might do the trick.

Go get your tooth prothesis please!

Can't say I have OP. I might see stathiders to be taken less serious on the Forum though.

Yes!! I did find them!
