Don't worry, I was just trolling you a bit, everything counts ofc But actually (I MIGHT be mistaken here, but I'm pretty damn sure) Sims has one of the best, if not the best XP gain in the game, so he will get higher BASE XP then some other ships for the same things done in the game. Thats why a lot of people were pissed about Sims in last ranked season (was played at tier7), because topping the score with Sims in team was quite hard. But, enough of offtopic, don't want to spam this topic too much

Sims has higher XP gain, so it doesn't count

Not a competitive player, but Atago is simply the most versatile cruiser that fits into every matchup quite easily. Great concealment, can stealth torp (great torps), can stay undetected for a long time, has great guns that pack a lot of punch, can burn down targets... While I don't see what would Edinburgh bring to the table instead of Atago (maybe one day someone will use her, but not for now I guess)

What do we learn? That WG EU cannot make a proper missions even if their life depends on it, so we have same annoying missions for past 6 months.

Pensacola, New Orleans and Baltimore are perfectly fine. At least someone said that to me... (but I still don't trust them) The only thing I can say is, go full concealment build, and don't use your guns untill you sneak up to 10km away from enemy cruiser (if you manage to find one in nowadays games) and unload your freedom shells into their broadside...

Since cruisers are still my main, I guess I don't count into this

Thats cute http://wowreplays.com/Replay/23111-cro_pwr-Hotspot

Btw people, don't forget upgrades are at 50% of the price, so if you have some unapgraded ships, this is the time to save yourself a nice amount of creds.

I have elited Benson with 100k extra XP on it, and Ognevoi in my port, so that playstyle is nothing new to me As I said, my biggest drawback was captain training on Blyska, but got her anyway. Played 1 game, and gotta say, I'm impressed (even with fresh capt, she is one goddamn strong ship, and the guns HURT, while she actually has usable torps unlike the RU counterparts) edit: my first game

AAAAAAAAAAAA MY FINGERS ITCH SO MUCH!!! But , its Polish DD and not as good captain trainer as it is, so I'm really on the edge now lol.

thats cute btw regarding CV economy: its broken as hell atm. credit / xp gain is nerfed so much, that anything you do will net you pitiful amount of creds / xp. Check the Zuiho game I've posted here. 6 kills, 110/120k whatever damage done on t5 AND 33 planes shot down. And the amount of creds / XP I gained is the same as I would get from scoring 2 kills with lets say Minekaze...

Nice gesture guys ID: cro_pwr Ship: Graf Spee if released, otherwise Molotov.

NO YOU DID NOT! Have you played against bots? wtf? 4 devastating strikes? Btw, they might be strong at t10, but on t5 they are almost unplayable...

But the game was (more or less) the same for a long time when it comes to BB:CA balance... And most people thought its a good balance. And it probably still is, if you are going directly BB:CA. Once again, the main problem is that they went for Rock Paper Scissors concept, where BB counters CA (and still does), CA counters DD (still does), DD counters BB (eh. yeah. maybe. sometimes. oh well.) BBs are simply getting too much tools to play with. Good (great) AA, good manevuerability, hydro and what not. And even with all of that, game would be quite balanced if we had normal (old) team compositions with 3 BBs 6 CAs 3 DDs and 2 random classes (CV/DD/BB), where cruisers can utilise their speed to hunt down BBs in a wolf pack while protecting their BBs from planes and DDs. Now you can do that, you can still hurt BBs, you can still keep DDs and planes away, but doing that alone while having 5 BB guns pointed at you can be tiresome.

Chapayev is ready! But be warned, that guy is pretty sneaky, and likes to fight back

I've managed to eat 2-3 20 km shima torps just for the sake of them being 20 km torps. Like... who the hell uses that... I litterary saw them from 5-6 km away, maybe even more, who knows, and was sailing away from them full speed. So I was like, OK, they will run out now. NOPE. OK, they are 10km torps, they will run out now. NOPE. OK, I miscalculated, they will run out now. NOPE. Wtf is happening? OH S**T, OH S**T, OH S**T, OH S**T THOSE ARE 20 KM TORPS. *BLURP* So I wrote in chate "WTF, who the hell still uses 20km torps", and the guy answered "Why not, I got 3 hits with them..." Felt so freaking bad

I'm TRYING not to focus everything I have when I see RU ship, although sometimes I just say f*** it and go after him... Since the mission introduction, I dare to say I've sank over 200 ships, yet I'm still on "only" 14 Russians.

Oh man, too bad this isn't on EU. I have spare 500 $ that I'd like to throw out to WG. On a more serious notice, 400 $ for all that ships is a good deal (whoever wants to give that much in a one go...) PS: and 4 mil creds worth of missions is something EU can honestly just dream of... Especially considering numbers aint that big, and you can do the in co-op...

Honestly, I'd rather bring t10 cruiser in a fight, then t5 one.At least on T10 you have concealment + range to play around, and heal to recover after a mistake you have done. on t5 you are spotted as soon as you are in your shooting range (and that range is usually too close to BB then you would like to be), while having low hp and no armor + no heal...

They have been given too many tools to survive on their own, not having to rely on teamplay / help from other classes. Thats the main issue. Before, you had to have DD scouting for you, CA to give you AA support / keep DDs away etc. Now, you jump into BB and can do all of that on your own. edit: and what Icey said: you just need a bit of luck, and you will take out CA no matter where you shoot at.

Yeah, with Minekaze being the gem of the gun focused line of boats

I've let out USN BBs since they were ment to be brawlers, and German BBs are simply better in brawling then the original brawlers...And considering AA, I still don't understand why people are saying germans have bad AA. Ofc, USN BB AA is monstrous, but German works just fine (even too "fine" if you ask me).

Well, that happens 1/10 times in normal domination, and 3/4 times in bastion...Thats the main issue...
