The only "problem" a bad DD player can cause is being detected, but usually that's solved quite fast as bad DD players usually tend to die quite fast. A bad CV player poses (mainly) the same problem; and while he/she may not be able to do much damage to you, other enemy ships certainly can.

My point was about the lower tiers, because that's where new players (usually) start. I would assume new players would leave the game more quickly since the rework; but I don't have any numbers to back this up. I am interested to see new players' activity 2 months / 4 months / 6 months after they started playing - to see if the CV rework had any effect on that.

Imagine a new player - sailing his T1/T2 ships happily. Then gets to T3 and gets smacked by triple T4 CVs. No fun, the player leaves. CVs (at the moment) are cancer and imo the game is (a lot) better off without the current implementation of CVs.

But you're putting yourself at a disadvantage ? As you show, you got into a T9 battle with a T6 ship.

Sims is T7 though ?

I am very sorry. It's exactly the reason I want to check all pages again.

UPDATE Apparently the Holiday period doesn't like me very much. Hence I'll post the winners tomorrow instead of today (still have to double check all participants). Kind regards, lup3s

Will try to do it this evening!

I find the turret rotation doable with the turret rotation captain skill (Expert Marksman?). I also have Yamamoto on my Yamato, I think he has improved EM? Anyway, with LM and this captain skill, it's not often I find myself in moments where I really felt disadvantageous due to decreased turret rotation speed.

Can't remember when it happened exactly (and I don't have a screenshot of it), but I remember a game where a player managed to get 1 base XP (1 = one)

Just an FYI that I'll update the OP and answer people's PM every evening after work - so don't panick if I don't respond immediately during the day

Hi, Like previous years, I'd like to organize a lottery as a token of "good will" to and from the community.

Hence I would like to ask everyone who participates to be reachable (via PM) during the month of January. Players who have not responded by the 31st of January will lose their prize, and a new winner will be drawn. ------ Good Luck & Happy Holidays! The prizes : Prize #1 : any Premium ship (available in shop, basic ship) Prize #2 : any Premium ship up to T7 (available in shop, basic ship) Prize #3-5 : 30 days Premium account or 2500 doubloons (3 players will be drawn) Prize #6-7 : 30 days Premium account or 2500 doubloons (2 players will be drawn) DONATED BY rnat Prize #8 : T6 Premium ship DONATED BY Smeggo Prize #9-18 : prize to be discussed with donator (10 players will be drawn) Prize #19-21 : 3 CC containers (3 players will be drawn) DONATED BY AtotheK101 Prize #22 : Warspite or 5500 doubloons DONATED BY Major_Damage225 Prize #23-24 : 3000 doubloons (2 players will be drawn) DONATED BY K82J Prize #25 : T6 Premium ship (available in shop, basic ship) Prize #26 : T8 Premium ship (available in shop, basic ship) Prize #27-30 : 5500 doubloons (4 players will be drawn) Prize #31 : T6 Premium ship DONATED BY Exocet6951 Prize #32 : HMS Dreadnought DONATED BY Aragathor Prize #33 : 2020 doubloons DONATED BY CptMinia UPDATE Added prizes from other donators, thank you for your generousity ! -- apparently I missed another topic by 22cm, so I remove it here ------

I have Zao LM and Repu. I can really recommend the Zao's LM; the Repu's is a matter of taste / playstyle imo (the shorter reload suits me better, even though the longer range could sometimes be more useful). I'm close to a lot of other LM's (Shima, Gearing, Des Moines, Mino, Montana), but I've been told only the Yamato's is a must-have (of those mentioned)

What about Colbert?
