Please people. Signals and relevant cammo for credits. I got it!!

Granted. Absolutely a point. I was stating an opinion as a fact. I stand corrected. Thank you.

Sigh. Indeed we've been over this a gazillion of times OP. Frankly I find it one of the worst bugs in this game. I get the shatters, bounces and misses doing no damage. And i get the overpens: just shoooting straight through a ship, and the AP won't fuse. But at least that's yielding some dmg... But come on a pen without dmg?! A shell the size of a small car just perfectly hitting a M60 kaliber AA machine gun, without doing a scatch of damage in it's surroundings? Or indeed the "spaced armor" mystery. Why don't I get at least a half overpen dmg? I did freaking pen the first layer of armor? Yes, penning a "non vital" part of the ship like the galley. Same goes for the half overpen dmg there. Oh, and the best explanation I ever read was a AP shell hit the armor belt! FFS: is there that much of a difference between a torp hitting the torpedo belt or a AP shell coming in with roughly 800 m/s?? So why does a torp give a lot of dmg to the belt and an AP shell isn't? Last but not least: keep in mind "dmg saturation" is a "red skill" only. When I'm having 3 fans on my *ss however in f.e. a Yama they can just add up the dmg fully all day on my rear section.

I must say. i'm very positively surprised by the larger clouds it's making... More room to maneuver in so I can anticipate smoke fillers easier...

I find the poll to be a bit biased Boris. I'm missing the "sometimes" option: it's either yes or no. In my feeling the game is in fact improving somewhat-ish lately. Also I'm seeing some sings of at least rudimentary trying to apply some tactics. and I picked CV's as the ruining class. That's exactly my beef against CV players. They have the most influential ships and yes I understand they can't be everywhere at the same time but if a CV players messes up, it's an almost guaranteed loss. A bad playing other class player can still be compensated. Heck it's almost always a upside trip if the CV has a slow starting PC...

Indeed I think there are more COOP fans than you imagine. I can't back that up with numbers but I often see players with more coops than PvE's. Personally I still like the random battles the best (overall). Not worried I'll lose my sanity. in my case, that's impossible. I did do some coop games a while ago. It was required for some part of a mission. Forgot which one TBH... And I had a blast in them. I think I'll play a match or two just for the sake of fun. The operationI find awesome. Our clan sometimes take out for an operation. Yesterday I actually played a CV (!!!!!). Oh boy! I downed 7 planes and had 2 bomb hits.... I know @xXx_Blogis_xXx.... That level of skill will make even you quiet....

Thanks, maths isn't my strongest point. So taking the cammo's/ flags does make a big difference. I thought I was doing something very wrong besides that.

I can't confirm that OP. The guns are not Moro or less trollish for me now as they were in the past. The satisfying 1080 shots or better: the pen with no dmg salvo's occur with any BB I play for that matter. my mystery with Mo is how the heck do all those players get that 1-2 M credit games all the times? Not complaining but it's 3-400 k for me in a decent match. 8 in an epic. Are you using the relevant cammo's/ signals to yield that result? Cause I'm not. Can't imagine it could make that much of a difference.

Thanks for the advice people. Z52 will play a major role in my port, like Yamato and HIV. Collecting dust, never ever to be touched again. I hqad good fun with the KM DD line until Z23. In this POS I'm radared/ hydroed in any position on any map. Bye bye and Danke schon. I really truly understand now how the course of history went in WW1 and 2.

Sorry, double post by accident

Just faced @Lord_Solidus We ROFL stomped his/ her team. But it was a great match. Lord was the top player on his team! Thanks bro. Remember: enemies for 20 minutes. Friends for life.

Lol, I finished this phase with BB's. Yes I had to wait some longer but all the "potatoe" BB's are out to hunt for the mission. It was a shameful formality to win the missions... For task 1 I used Monqueror. (got the high caliber (task 4 as well with it IIRC) and Dreadnought with Kurry. Also repeated task 1. Struggling with task 2 though. Somehow it just doesn't seem to happen when this task is open. Like meeting no CV's in a planekill mission.

Guys. I have the explanation... You'll see it at 1:12...

Can't say I agree. It seems and feels on par with the other T10 cruisers in the game. Perhaps tweak it's detection to 10km and make stealth Zao's strongest point. That's my thought.

I won a radar module and 50 I.X. signals (fire flags). So I'm very happy with that!

I must say, this link on Reddit was a huge help for me OP. https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfWarships/comments/5ordcb/datamined_list_of_ifhe_penetration_changes/

Then I am about 100% sure I never met you in a RN cruiser Forlorn... Now I really love to meet you in battle while you're playing one of those. (checking to make sure I was not on that battle you were portraying). Regarding the ammo: I don't mind playing a ship with just enough armor to fuse any AP shell, I also highly like the fact the RN cruisers don't or hardly lose speed in turning, the AA can be awesome (when properly specced) and the "1 line torpedo spread option" is something which I highly find interesting. It's purely the lack of HE what's bothering me. To zoom it out a little bit of topic: the "main focus on HE" on the BB line I find ridiculous as well. Was quite surprised the BB's got AP in the first place. Elsewhere I sincerely asked the question (really 100% serious about that matter, no joke) if the upcoming RN DD line will be able to shoot torpedo's....

I just don't believe the 9. 1 strike should yield 6 pinks. Anyway; don't worry about being banned. After enough time the strike will "wear off." Thus wiping your slate clean. I have given up my resistance to the current punishment system cause it actually makes sense. 1 dumb, honest and rare mistake will be punished but you won't get banned. I've never heard of anyone getting banned by TK-ing but the more you offense, the more severe the punishments will become and IIRC if a player is really being a rat he/ she'll get eventually banned. Also IIRC you get pink when: either actually sinking a friendly (whether he's on 1 hp and you accidentally ram him or giving a full torpedo volley from second line) or do 10.000 team dmg out of a million. The latter will also eventually "wear off." I don't know the time frame for that but if you (accidentally) set a fire on a friendly and somehow cause 9999 dmg you won't have to be afraid you'll get pink for 1 hp of ramming damage in 2021...

Now I'm curious... I've never ever had this. Was that a draw???

Oh yeah. Those 18 matches I did. That's giving a clear and very viable insight in my performance, now doesn't it? All I'm saying is my opnion from the POV playing against a RN pingpongballpewpewer. And I am not impressed at all. Yes I did get sunk by a awesome torpedo ambush and by a very lucky closeby broadside citadel from them. Or that once in 10000 matches I get caught with my pants down in a T8 DD, being obliterated by a Half-cow, from his smoke of course, me thinking it was a DD from which I should be able to take a punch or 2, when all the planets where aligned and their CV somehow facerolled his planes straight toward me. I'm not saying I'm invincible against them. Sadly there are no stats to see (as far as I know) where you can see what ship sank you, how many times and how. My gut feeling those occasions are a very overwhelming minority due to RN cruisers. Those 18 matches in Belfast, no by far any good results, granted (was almost always in a T9 match) are more than the other matches combined in that POS line. And what is my beef with them? That insane idea not to give them HE. Who on Earth, heaven or hell could have thought that is a good idea? Edit: I gladly take up that glove @ForlornSailor In fact I'm sincerely hoping you'll prove me wrong...

Thanks for the advice. I decided to take smoke cloud expert... Tried it a couple of matches and I must admit I like it.. the more room to maneuver I find very nice. Of course I'll keep it on close watch.

Good idea. And there are more CV's which might go while you're at it. in fact: remove them all and make this a much more fun game to play!

Lol. Saying things like that about the RN cruiser line is a taboo here on the Forum. You are supposed to say those sods are the absolute best there is. Well, from one POV I temp to agree they are the best ships.... To shoot at. I can't stress enough it's my absolute biggest hobby to one shot a whiner just a millisecond after he disappears in his pathetic smoke cloud. Or even better: spotter plane, well aimed shot and blind fire him from there. A good second best is to keep a BB in range of that island he's hiding behind the whole time and make sure it's under shot from both directions all the time, so it must stay behind his rock the entire game. No, they are hilariously fun to counter them. A good runner up is I'd rather, no extremely much rather give full broadside to a Yamato and turn my rear towards the pingpongballpewpewing shooting cloud, cause I know that guy has been sitting behind his rock the whole time and was waiting for that opportunity to finally start to smoke fire me. It's giving me a huge thrill he (she) has been useless the entire game to his team and continue to do so for that 1000 dmg out of 75 shots.... I love to troll those sorry sods....

oooh!! Yeah!! That rat somehow manages to nail me nearly every time!!! So glad I'm not the only one with that problem! Also the left mountain on 2 brothers is a sneaky bastard!

Awww Darnit! Are you telling me I made 75 posts to enter the raffle for nothing?! Thanks for the initiative and congrats to the winners.
