WG doesn't know how to make premium IJN BBs that aren't downgrades if you didn't notice (or are Ishizuchi at T4 which is a tier you can't really care about ships not being that good anyways).

Would be nice to see. Not expecting much out of it though. In five years maybe at best considering how long it takes for WG to change mechanics about team damage in case they do.

Ok.

Works for me too, thanks. Off-topic: Am I the only one that finds this new emoticon kinda creepy? I look at those eyes and face and almost can imagine it like "I'm gonna kill you while you sleep...." or something. Not sure if I like these new reaction emoticons, or at least this one in particular.

It was bound to happen.

Tell me your secrets!!!!!1!1!! I really miss that map too.

Don't worry, just working as intended. Pretty sure at WG they'll be congratulationg themselves for their excellent work if they read this.

Yes, even Prinz Eugen with all the complaints that we had the changes were so minimal that at least is an equal ship to the Hipper. Duke of York it's just a nerfed silver ship and not even a really good one.

And let's not talk about the people that will recognize the camo and focus you because... well, reasons. Using those camos tend to be a "look at me, I was stupid enough to pay for this match" and the enemy team will be like "ok, too bad lol". I still remember using the +100% XP I got for free from ranked and it was like I had a target painted over my ship or something. Good thing I was grinding the Gnesenau.

Yes, I know he was refering to that but hey, lucky you if your wallet or common sense doesn't cry and you think it's a good idea or your wallet can keep up with the cost of the doubloons of those camos for a single battle each. I know I'll never ever touch them but hey, WG decisions, not mine. People should be buying them though if they keep pushing up more of those so good for WG at least I guess.

Why do you want the permanent camo for XP anyways? You buy that camo for ships you really like and keep (most probably after actually unlocked the next ship anyways) and for tier 10 the camo is more about the reduced repair cost than about the XP anyways, so what's the problem?

Massachussets would be a nice reward for free like OP says for people that has been playing for quite some time now and maybe has purchased a decent amount of things for WG. I mean, I understand how something like that would encourage said people and it's a nice reward. However, that Salem is one of those ships, I doubt it very much. I even hope it isn't. T10s for free without a grind that makes you play at that tier yourself (not counting the free T10 ships for clan wars either) is a really bad idea.

You sound like you want to avoid how fun and engaging this game is or something.

Yes. We need more zombi BBs. We need a zombi camo for Nelson and Conqueror next Halloween. On a serious note, I still don't understand WG decisions, or maybe I should say anymore. At this point, Duke of York being a blatant copy paste of KGV with a hydro slapped on it would be fine. We had Prinz Eugen after all. But while removing AA defensive fire, and giving it heal to cater to the common BB player that coudn't deal with that (and also nice not seeing BBs jumping further in cruiser roles, much appreciated in that sense) and the according changes in fire duration and DCP reload times... why the nerf to maneurability and reload? Especially reload, it just doesn't make sense that with those guns at T7 you nerf the reload, not even for balancing purposes. Duke of York is now a turd people would want even less than when people was crying because OMG no heal.

Maybe the day I die I'll have not enough life to work my entrance to the club.

There's nothing preventing you from exploding at any moment you're hit, if RNG decides to send the shell to the right spot and that you're gonna die you just do so. There, have ten useful flags that may prevent you from exploding again for no reason the next ten battles... or not and you just wasted a flag for nothing, who knows? That's as fun and engaging as it gets after all.

I'd like to see that implemented to secondary guns in general at tier 8 and above, would give something to do with secondaries at high tiers for a change, because right now even with German BBs that can provide the range a secondary build is useless because at high tiers ships are armored enough to only get shatters all day long for 0 damage. I still remember my full secondary build Bismarck being ignored by a Montana and ended in a score of 300+ secondary hits on that Montana for a grand total of 3k damage by raw secondary hits damage and two fires he just healed up. It's still sad that after seeing that I removed the build and went full AA just in case because there's no point in investing in secondaries and brawling at all. But it would be crazy to give incentives to go in a brawling distance at high tiers, right?

Yeah, I admit I missunderstood that one too and said Marblehead (basically because I have Tachibana already but well, a few doubloons will still be nice). Thanks a lot to everyone else that joined in giving extra prizes. Very generous of you. Good luck everyone!

The hype train has no brakes.

Yes, DoY without heal with that armor would be torched in any part of the ship by any cruiser with IFHE so no heal was bad. Def. AA wasn't needed at all so it's nice to see they decided to remove it. What I don't understand is the sudden 29'5 seconds reload for 356 mm guns at T7. AP pen isn't that great with those guns when uptiered and it has worse dispersion now which just punish the use of AP even more. It's like WG encourages the HE spam of those BBs...

Still better than those green camos for IJN ships in general if you ask me.

Visual weather effects like at the start of the battle would be fine during the battle. Other than that cyclones are annoying enough already to add more limiting effects like that. I'd be glad if cyclones were reworked first of all if WG plans on adding more weather effects that change how you play. Those magic cyclones that make that BB dissapear from vision at 8 km but you can still see that island past the border of the opposite side of the map is just absurd. They're bad implemented af.

You can't buy any ship that's not in the regular tech tree without the extended tech tree mod. There are some ships available from purchase and they sometimes change from time to time. Belfast and Kutuzov will never be put on sale again though.
