There would be no problems excuses whatsoever if all of them were fictional... I don't like mixed approach WG took, but heh, it is what it is...

Absolutely ridiculous marketing decision. People have just spent lot of money during Black Friday and Christmas sales. WG should wait longer and let them recover wallets before going out with this decision (pre summer period would be the best)

Just to add different point of view. Problem with your approach emerges the very moment you get shot at. 55mm don't stay alive for long on Hindenburg, while 105mm are much more resistant to enemy fire. Early in battle 55s have some potential, but longer the battle lasts they become more and more irrelevant, thus focusing on 105mm makes more sense, from self defense perspective. Range is important only if you intend of covering allies with your bubble, which in randoms have problems of its own. And in any case if CV focuses you only escape from certain death can be made with DF help. Just my 2 Eurocents.

I hope it is small so battleships cannot run away... Oh wait... They still can hide behind islands... On contrary. Every battleship is going to head there. Look how cosy it is! Islands all around! P.S. MOAR new maps WG, MOAR!!!! New maps are way overdue!

Yap. And very fast. German panzers where not able to catch up!

Would you be kind and show us on the map where to find it? Nah. We have something much, much better. Your relentless campaigning and lobbying for the matter at hand. You can do it! You can do it! You can do it!

He said 'without spending any money'. My suggestion - if above ones are not good enough - is to find sponsor.

Well, typical outcome when MM decides to put superunicorns only on one team and couple of 'I'm new to the game and I just bought Tirpitz!' on other... And your battle is perfect example of just that. It's fine. Ships happen. What is abysmal is what happens in each battle... People AFK'ing, suiciding, humptydumpting happily in their ships asking "What is Hydro" (I had a Bismarck captain I had to explain how manual secondaries work...), u-turning moment they see the enemy, ignoring caps (like entire teams herding themselves to one spot in front of the cap and sitting there for the rest of the game), second line torping ships outside their torpedo range and HE'ing the s*** out of enemy broadsides... You know. Daily bread stuff. That's terrifying....

Even better. Necrodrama! Blame WG. Their rules.

Next patch I hope.

Like designing good mendatory tutorial... Although if WG hasn't come up with it for the last 2 years, I have doubts they ever will. I'm afraid for as long as they have influx of new players, they don't have much incentive to do much about it. Laggy UI, buggy chat, DD pens, CVs, do I need to carry on? But hey! Let's introduce... Emblems...

There's achievement you get for opening 1000 containers. It tells you your current progress - it will answer your question precisely. Have to admit, had a bit of drought myself, but finaly got one after getting 92 TYL. There's also thread covering ST:

Nothing surprising. It simply sits in the que unfil WG employee clicks confirmation button.

Better late then never... In the meantime WG could just use random map generator as the replacement for the current ToD. Blimey, replacing it even with Ocean Map would do the job...

As soon as WG finds politically correct candidate... They feel people might be a little bit touchy when it comes to Kriegsmarine commanders under Nazi Regime. Although I have no clue why they cannot go with Hans von Wilhelmshaven or some other ficional name. WWI also has a lot of great names to chose from.

Missouri is more versatile BB then Musashi. If you are not a collector, get Missouri - you might not have a chance in the future and Musashi is here to stay for some (I presume rather long) time. Missouri plays differently (Radar!) and is fun little monster.

+1 for this very refreshing topic!

On contrary! It is always best to be slapped by someone you know!

Mogami is not an easy ship to play. It requires constant attention to your surroundings. Positioning is everything with it, because you don't want to be flanked. BBs are mortal threat but 203mm volleys will wreck it as well. You basically don't want to be shot at. I play it with speed flag, that makes it insanely fast and concealment mod of course. I found DF to be more usefull though. With no AA only way to survive CV strike is to panic the aircrafts and since you stay at the back most of the time, you can also help other ships with it as well. At the start of the game I always support destroyers and try to ambush them whenever I can, but with no islands as cover it is risky. It took me quite some games to figure out how to play Mogami and recently I have success in it more often then before. Unfortunately grinded it right after it got nerfed to bits and can hardly say that I had lot of fun in it. It got restored bits of its former glory with turret rotation buff, but it could still use little bit of love.

Glad you asked. 30s rotation on turrets would be nice.

That's actually smart. That way they can blame immigrants. I'm surprised this thread hasn't been locked yet. Guess mods are heaving a day off.

Way I'm reading this is that fixes for MM to ballance radars on both teams are long overdue. It is not only Ranked but also Random battles problem, where instances of heaving multiple radars on 1 team and only 1 on the other are not uncommon. Throw in dds imballance (where on 1 team you have only russian ones and on other non-russian) and match is almost decided before it starts. Almost, because obviously anything can happen, but it would be nice not having to rely on MM to put unicums on limping team and total potatoes on other.

For once I feel the need of defending WG. I love when battleships shoot only at each other, completely ignoring everything around them...

Shiver me timbers... Those are the only ones that I get...

I mean, like seriously, what would be fun in that? Challenge accepted.
