Google said its 150 000 $, so I guess that wasn't enough for them.

From what I've seen, I'd dare to say that at least 4,500 are...

If you went from 0 to 270,000 Free XP, it was thanks to 200% bonus, Papa Flags, Bonus XP flags, Premium account, Premium ships, A lot of ships in port and A lot of games played (150-200). So yea...

You can never be too old to be stupid!

To be honest, I might not even hate that fact. Give her radar, put more premiums with retarded OP abilities, give allready strong ships even stronger tools, so I can finally say goodbye and go spend my time on something more productive then pixel ships edit: Btw, if they give her Balti radar, it will be useless. Why would anyone want a radar that can't cover 20km radius while playing BB...

Yes, DD is in a cap, but where? Left side, right side? Where can you expect torps from? Where do you want to send your torps to (general direction)? Where do you want your guns to be turned to when you finally spot him? Where to go to spot him?You don't know the answer to this questions? No problem, get the skill ;)

And CVs / DDs still counter BBs. Most of them... Sadly every day less and less because of whiners, but still do. And I don't even want to argue with you about balance / are BBs Op, whatever. Don't even want to argue about you about skill or whatever, since I consider you even better cruiser player then I am. But as I said in my last post, I just hate people going left and right and saying that cruisers are useless. Should they get a buff, or more specific role, or should BBs get nerfes / cap on numbers in games available... Probably yes, something between that lines, thats completely different topic. Are they useless at the moment? Nope.

Where did I say cruisers are easy to play and will carry games easily... I know thats not the thing. They were never carries, they were always supports, jack of all trades, name it however you want. But to say that they are unplayable / unusable / whatever, thats actually exaggerating. They are hard to play, yes. But when played properly, they can heavily alter the outcome of the game... Which team will get a cap? The one that have cruisers supporting DDs... Which team will bring down that bow on BB? The one that will HE spam him to death. Etc etc etc. And to be honest, at the current game, the only ships that I consider are able to carry games (domination based games, not standard battles ofc) are Des Moines, Moskva, good gunboat DDs, some IJN DDs, Belfast, and thats pretty much it. The rest of ships can pew pew eachother with more or less success, but in a normal game, and normal enviroment cannot really solo carry the game... Even if you are in a Yamato, or whatever you still need some way to deal with DDs, with planes, with caps, and you simply are not equipped for all that. The rest is just how good the whole team is, and how good the teamplay is. Thats just my 2 cents, but yea, I'm probably overreacting because I'm annoyed with all the cruisers are unplayeable c**p

Burned the Tirpitz that was solo rushing in the middle of my team, then saw that B is open and went to cap it. Imagine my face when I saw that Tirpitz is still alive, and my team was dumb enough not to focus him down. Went for CV, got tilted because I couldn't get another fire on him even if my life depended on it, saw that we are gonna loose anyway and didn't care about the game anymore, just wanted to kill him. So basicly, I did nothing that game, but if I did that in BB, then it would be fine? Idk, I guess... But yea, my point still stands too. Cruisers are useless, and totaly unplayable. Want to dissect few more games (gotta admit it, you are good at it)? as you can see, both are from today, and both are in that useless class. PS. Just got Takao today. God damn that thing is bad... I don't know how people can play Atago... Played 6 games today with her, and never felt more useless in my life.

WG really likes to give out Speed flags...

Oh well, there goes my 12-13 million credits, or whatever the sum should be... Who needs that anyway

Namolis you managed to miss half of the points... Bogue (1/1/0): 19 - 3 = 16 (why would you ever...) Bogue (0/1/2): 14 New York: 12 Texas: 20 Omaha: 21 Marblehead: 17 Nicholas: 18 Zuiho (1/1/2): 14 Zuiho (1/2/1): 20 Kongo:24 Furutaka: 18Minekaze/Kamikaze/Fujin: 29 + 1 = 30 (best DD on its tier hands down) Gnevny: 14 Gremy: 24 Kirov: 19 Murmansk: 22 König: 19 Königsberg: 25

You know what else is THE BEST? The fact that I played with a team that was alergic to caps, and only 2 caps in this game were capped by me. You know what else is THE BEST? the fact that I didn't shoot at DDs, cause there was only 1 DD in the game. You know what else is THE BEST? The fact that I've got: 2 caps. 7 defends. High caliber. 215k damage. 14 planes shot down. Only 1 kill. Survived the battle with 1.3 million potential damage. And all of that in an USELESS and UNPLAYABLE class. You know, that class that can't deal damage, that dies as soon as BB turns guns towards you etc.

I agree with you. Cruisers are completely unplayable.

Scored a 215 000 damage (3rd highest damage in Chapayev on Europe, I think its 5th world wide, something like that) yesterday... The ship is a monster when shooting things, but fragile piece of cardboard enveloped in paper armor when taking hits. Few days ago, I've citadeled enemy Chapayev trough the bow with my Chappy (that shows how weak the armor is), just to recieve double citadel trough the bow from enemy Iowa, deleting me in an instant... But shes definitly a bully, and works pretty well with good positioning to burn down those pesky BBs that are infesting the games ;)

215 000 damage in Chapayev, huge 1 kill and a loss Some games... Oh, and its #3 EU highest damage in Chapayev.

And why do you think German BBs are brawling while IJN are not? Let me give you a hint: Its not because German BBs have weak armor that will eat huge damage no matter the angle. (ps. it might start with C and end with L)

Well, as I said before, games like this were common. Its not like you had 1/10 games with so much torp spammers. So people allready got accustomed to that, and knew that there are torp walls incoming as soon as the game started... and IIRC at that time, all DDs started the game with their Torps allready loaded, so you could expect first torp wall like 2 minutes into the game

to make it short:You couldn't do nothing against it, even in a cruiser that is supposed to be a counter to that DDs.

What tone O.oIf I sounded IDK, frustrated, its not because of you, its because of frustration games like that would bring with them.

Just don't... You have experience in low tiers. And a limited experience to add to it. I have more games in my Fubuki then you in all your IJN DDs together. But once again, do tell me about the gameplay on t8-10. Or how did the games look before the shima nerf, before the radar came into the game etc. Please do tell me, since obviously you know a lot more then I do. And congrats on your mad torpedo dodging skills. I guess that dodging 2 wakatake torps is on the same level as dodging 50 shimakaze torps. Maybe even harder.

highest tier played: 6Teaching people how to play at tier 10. Games in CV : 9 in total Teaching people how to play CVs. Thanks for your lesson mate ;)

Let me explain what happened there. There was a 15 km wide wall of torpedoes. End of story.

You simply don't get the point of that video / gameplay. That video is showing Des Moines. A tier 10 cruiser that should be bane and doom of all DDs in game. NOT BEING ABLE TO DO A S***T in that game. Why? because of wall of torps. Because of inability to spot DDs, because if he moved from the spawn he will get spotted and targeted by enemy BBs, WHILE having to dodge 50 torps at all time. Simply impossible task. As you could see in that game, IChase managed to do what, 20k damage? In a t10 cruiser. Thats pathetic. And watch their DDs. All of them except for benson (t8 gunboat) full hp, not even spotted till the end of the video. 0 risk. ZERO. You say he is clumped up with rest of the BBs, and eating torps because of that. Well, thats true. But why? Because he is A cruiser, and hes job IS to be in front of BBs, scouting for torps / DDs. A task that he simply wasn't equipped for. What can you do in such a game? Hide behind the island and be useless. Stay at base and be useless. Try to chase enemy DDs around the map and fail to do so... Those are pretty much your options. They are faster, they have lower concealment, they can send walls of torps your way... You have nothing to fight them back with. And cruisers are supposed to be counters to DDs... Now look it from BBs perspective. What can they do? Push? Nope... as soon as you start moving from the base, you will have 50 torps going your way, since you are closest to their DDs and all will focus you... Tank? Nope, there is no such thing as tanking torps... They will deal damage no matter the angle they hit, speed, weather, time of the day. They will deal damage, they will kill you. Kill DDs? Nope, you can't see them... Do anything but stay at max range hoping you will get few shots on their ships before you get torped to death? Yup, pretty much the only option... Why are all the ships clustered together? Because thats what torps do. They are area denial weapon. Pack of DDs are just like shepherd dogs... The only difference is they are doing it with torp walls instead of with barking... You want to go that way? nope, torps incoming. You want to go that way? Nope, torps incoming... What way can you go? well, you know, there is that 100 m gap in between 5 waves of torps, so yea, you better go that way, or you are dead... And the saddest thing is, this wasn't 1/100 games. It was basicly every high tier game that looked like this. Why? Because no other ship bar DD and CV had an answer to DD torp spamming problem, so everyone just switched to DDs, and spammed their own torps hoping to actually score some kills in the game. Or went for gunboat DDs to go and hunt all those pesky shimas... And you don't even have to look at it from the "skilled or unskilled" perspective... Yea, maybe he should have dropped his torps more to the left, or to the right, or whatever. But it doesn't even matter in the end. They will hit something. Eventually. What? Who knows, who cares. Drop 100 of them in a game and you are bound to hit something (and think that you are such a good player since you did 50k damage without any effort )
