Ah, my bad, sorry.

She is a Beauty, I saw her on PTS too, took some snaps but was under a lot of fire at the same time. :) She is a Beauty, I saw her on PTS too, took some snaps but was under a lot of fire at the same time. :) In-game snap I also noticed that WG forgot to paint her Battleship grey, as she was on the evacuation missions.

I was on the Medway Queen paddle steamer picking up Tommys from Dunkirk when we was attacked by the whole German Luftwaffe and Hermann Göring was in the lead plane, all we had was some pebbles picked up from Dunkirk beach, we threw these pebbles and wiped out every plane, Göring was the only survivor we safely tied him to a sea mine, we got to Ramsgate and heard this almighty explosion about 20 miles in the English Channel.

Peanuts, one of my secondary shells from my Black Swan fired and killed the whole enemy fleet. EDIT: it's actually nice to have a bit of humour on here, instead of the Toxic chat we usually get.

I fired 1 salvo from my smith once and killed 5 BB's, Dammit!! I can fantasise too.

Did you know the Kongo class battle-cruiser was designed by a Brit? George Thurston

I read the first 10 lines of the article, and i'm hooked, I will read the rest tonight, "A Must Read" Thank You

I had a feeling that was the problem.

Very true, saturation damage will only cause a fraction of a clean hit.

You lost me with your joke, and I love Jokes and a giggle, you do know that season 6 rank battles was T7? kinda curious why you state that Belfast is a T7 ship, which is obvious to everyone.

The reward flags are the only reason I bother with PTS, and still no rewards yet, but I dare say they will be here soon.

agree with OP, also one of the problems with season 7 ranked battles are the maps.

My comment wasn't for you, unless you are the OP and you have 2 accounts and your name is bouncer8409, but, in reply to your comment, cant be bothered. :)

I am one of these people that listen to the likes of you and testers before i grind or pay for any ship, I will study your sheet tomorrow morning and try and give some feedback.

Great sheet, and dedication, well done. :)

Wargaming is a business to make money, and ranked battles is a chance to sell more premium ships, thus, in return Wargaming gives rewards to people that play, players that never spend a penny and the guys that pay subs and premium ship buyers, without the latter 2, you would not have ranked battles, operation battles, containers etc etc, in fact you wouldn't have a game. so please stop whining about BB's and premiums. EDIT:- Can you honestly say you never played your Belfast once in season 6 ranked?

Those goddamn unicom players know how to play, something i dare say we all strive to do, and it is not by luck they achieve Rank 1, you have to be disillusioned to think so, they use their skills to tank, angle their ship to take as little damage as possible but doing as much damage as possible. I would love to be as good as these guys one day. I watched a Flamu video this morning giving solid advice on how to be at your best in a ranked battle using the Arizona, he turned a losing game into a won game, you should watch it and then wonder if you think Unicom players are just lucky. Link is HERE -> Ranked Commentary #1 - Arizona

Surprised they didn't discount it this weekend for Independence Day 20% discount would have been nice, I would still need another 400k tho.

Surely both sides would have that same problem, which means your chances of winning are the same as they was early in ranked battles.

God dam it, I wet myself laughing.

PS/HMS Medway Queen J48 "Heroine of Dunkirk" 1st to arrive, last to leave. I am very much into local naval history, living just a mile away from Chatham Dockyard in Chatham/Gillingham, Kent. The PS/HMS Medway Queen played a vital role during the war, evacuating troops from Dunkirk, minesweeper on the Dover straight, and also playing the part as a warship by shooting down enemy aircraft. Minesweeper: 1939. In the autumn of 1939 the Medway Queen was in the shipyard of the General Steam Navigation Company (Deptford Creek) where she was transformed from her black, white and cream peacetime livery to battleship grey. The refit included some modification to her aft end where part of her aft was cut away to accommodate the mine sweeping gear. Additional items were fitted such as anti-aircraft machine guns and an enclosed bridge cabin. She went into the yard as a pleasure steamer but came out as the HMS Medway Queen.During the winter of 1939 parts of the Medway and Thames estuaries were frozen over but the 10th Paddle Minesweeping Flotilla continued their daily sweeps for mines with the assistance of a tug to break any patches of ice that lay ahead of them. The harshness of the cold winters took their toll on the Medway Queen with faults appearing in the ship's structure. This lead to her being ordered into Chatham dockyard during December 1939 for repairs. When the work was finished in January 1940 the Medway Queen joined the 10th Paddle Minesweeping Flotilla with her pennant number N48 which later became J48. The flotilla was commanded by Commander Greig R.N. of HMS Sandown (another paddle steamer, originally from the Isle of Wight). Rescue Ship & Warship: 1940. HMS Medway Queen spent the early part of the 1940s patrolling the Straits of Dover acting as sub-divisional leader, often the paddle steamer would anchor in pre-arranged locations in order to act as lookout. It was when the Medway Queen was fulfilling this duty on 27th May 1940 that she received orders to head to the beaches of Dunkirk to embark some troops that would be waiting there. Even then the crew of HMS Medway Queen had no idea of the enormous operation that became known as "Operation Dynamo".From her anchorage the Medway Queen departed for Dunkirk along with the PS Sandown, PS Thames Queen, PS Gracie Fields, PS Queen of Thanet, PS Princess Elizabeth, PS Laguna Belle and PS Brighton Belle. As they approached the beaches they could see the lines of soldiers in the water, some of which were up to their necks. Using the lifeboats the crew of the Medway Queen ferried the soldiers from the beaches to the paddle steamer and all the while this was happening the cruiser "Calcutta" gave covering fire. By 8am the Medway Queen was fully loaded and headed back to Dover unscathed. This was the first of seven crossings that the Medway Queen was to make throughout the entire operation.As the Medway Queen approached Dover Harbour an air-raid developed and the little paddle steamer claimed her first kill in shooting down one of the enemy aircraft. But while all those onboard celebrated the near-by Brighton Belle tore out her bottom as she drifted over a submerged wreck. As she began to sink the Medway Queen went alongside and took off all her soldiers and crew resulting in no loss of life. The Medway Queen, so heavily overloaded, managed to return to Dover and moored alongside.That evening the Medway Queen rejoined the flotilla and head back to the Dunkirk beaches. It was at this point that the Captain of Medway Queen decided to go to and from the beaches as much as they could, realizing that the entire British Expeditionary Force was to be evacuated. During the second night the Straits of Dover were particularly calm and the double wake from the paddle steamers were easily spotted from enemy aircraft. Therefore to prevent detection the Medway Queen's crew devised a system of oily bags lowered over the side to break up the waves.The Medway Queen and other ships managed to reach the actual harbour and use the strip of concrete reaching out from the heavily damaged harbour. the strip of concrete was known as the outer mole and allowed in excess of 200,000 soldiers to be saved throughout the 9 days of the evacuation. The Medway Queen made several crossings to this location because soldiers could be loaded directly onboard and much quicker to than at the beaches. She also changed from disembarking troops in Dover to disembarking them in Ramsgate instead. Each trip included the loading of provisions and oil fuel before departing in darkness.The crew of Medway Queen were kept occupied throughout with the Petty Officer's mess being used as sick bay. The galley was a hub of food production with a big pot of stew and never-ending line of soldiers with their mess tins. It was said that every man who boarded the Medway Queen was fed and given a cup of Navy cocoa or tea. For seven crossings Thomas Russell, Chief Cook and his assistant worked continuously with very little sleep.The chief engineer, who was also one of the Medway Queens peacetime officers, had the enormous strain of having to control the vessels engines throughout this time. He had to act quickly to every command given mainly because of the high risk of collision with other vessels sailing closely together.On the open decks of the Medway Queen her 12-pounder and lewis gun were in constant use, defending the ship and those onboard with additional fire power being provided by the ever willing soldiers and their rifles. Other soldiers also helped load the ships bren guns which had been recovered from the beaches. So the Medway Queen had a good array of fire power which gave her a confirmed record of having shot down three enemy aircraft during the evacuation.By Monday 3rd June the German army was finally closing in and Vice Admiral Ramsey gave orders that all ships were to leave Dunkirk by 2.30 the following morning. The Medway Queen was alongside the mole at midnight loading soldiers before her final return crossing back to England. heavy shelling in the area caused a ship astern of the Medway Queen to be hit and she subsequently moved forward against the Medway Queen's starboard paddle box causing extensive damage. The captain had a difficult time maneuvering her clear of the berth but he managed it and the Medway Queen slowly returned to England. Despite being one of the first vessels to reach the beaches she was one of the last to leave on June 4th 1940. She limped into Dover Harbour and Vice Admiral Ramsey signaled "Well Done Medway Queen" accompanied by the sound of the sirens from all the ships in Dover Harbour.Overall the Medway Queen rescued over 7,000 men with several of her crew being decorated for bravery. Nicknamed "The Heroine of Dunkirk" a small ship that helped to save 1000's of lives, the lives of military men that would later go on to conquer the Nazi's and win World War 2. Now recognised by World of Warships Update 6.8 for her role in the evacuation of Dunkirk, she will be a part of the "DUNKIRK EVENT COLLECTABLES" in update 6.8. Today the PS Medway Queen after a massive £1,8 million refit/rebuild is proudly situated at her home at Gillingham Pier on the River Medway.

Oh yes, what a camo, uses the same guns as the Hood?

So looking forward to playing HMS Iron Duke with those guns.
