Well the Austria-Hungary CA line could go a few tiers and Chinese T1 BB

I respect your opinion but you will probably need to do serious research on all servers to verify that. I play to win the game at the same time as I want to have fun. With short games I can not spend too much time being angry at lost opportunities by teammates as they happen a lot and will continue to do so. If I do that I will perform worse myself. It is better to take a break if you have a few "angry" losses or play a low tier ship that you like for sealclubbing, like Bogatyr ( or Nikolai).

Managed to kill the 20th Russian yesterday. Best ship to use. Chapayev, good for killing both DDs and cruisers with fast reload and fires.

Finally in the eleventh hour managed to kill the 20th Russian ship. But then I have played far more than a normal player can expect to have time for. Best Russian ship killer? Chapayev. It is the kill that matters and she is good both vs cruisers and DDs. The fast reload and fires helped me. That I probably helped some others along the way by playing in a Russian ship can be seen as a sign of solidarity, but it was the most efficient killer that I had in port.

Well I try always to follow chat. It is no idea to whine over the language situation, nothing can be done about it. As I play to enjoy the game I try to be active, some times it gives result. Please not ignore chat on the basis that it is meaningless in some games..Remember also that it is easier to react to your suggestions than to answer them. If English is your 2nd/3rd language you have players that are willing to follow instructions but does not write a response. I have no problems to chat in English, it is not much slower than Swedish (my first language), as most Scandinavian players we are versed i English (no dubbing of films etc), speed of course takes priority over grammar/spelling. If somebody writes in German I may respond in German, but more likely in English as it goes much faster. Or simply OK if its an acceptable solution. My theory is that a coordinated average idea done quickly is better than a good idea that the team are slow to respond to. So if someone suggests A+B on a map instead of B+C even if I thought that is better I follow the A+B if the team seems to go in that direction. In games there might be hectic situations where you just could not find room for answers. But I try to follow chat. So you think they are more generous, My impression from some videos was that their numbers of camos/flags were lower in the boxes. Comparing 1$ w 1€ etc.. But I might remember wrong.

Have both, I Think both ships are fun if you are a premium ship buyer/collector in general. They offer different playstyles that the normal ones. I love to have a RN with HE

I always play solo (playing for fun), I made the post to inform about a lenghty discussion in a podcast which gives some input. I value a players opinion who has played to rank 1 on all servers. It was not my opinion because I play only on EU-server. You noticed my ironic remark of the chat?

I go for the IJN line but I would have chosen no special favourite if that was included. Up at T8 in German, T9 in US and T10 in IJN, I have favourites in all trees, IJN Ishizuchi, Kongo, Fuso USN, Wyoming, NM/Az; NC German Nassau, König, Scharnhorst to take out 3 in each tree. So I play them all. One disadvantage for the German is the fiction/design based T9 and 10 which does not appeal to me, I am not sure I will get to T10 there.

A plausible guess + some premiums maybe even from odd countries, like a Italian BB Littorio or something, French large destroyer Le Fantasque or similar, T3 Viribus Unitis, T5/6 De Ruyter. Russian Borodino not all of course maybe 1 of these 1 plausible special line would be US cruisers split in light/Heavy with f..e. Omaha/Brooklyn/Cleveland/Worcester + design intermediates to fill it to T10 in the light line. You can have preliminary designs of Heavy cruisers from c:a 1920 at lower tiers as USN had similar designs as later build as Furutaka (with twin turrets 3x2). It is reasonable to assume that with revamped and fixed Carriers a few premiums (Enterprise, Ark Royal?) and British Carriers as a tree is in the planning also. New CVs together with renewed handling might increase interest in that department. My suggestion as British tree: T4-10 Hermes/Furious/Glorius/Ark Royal/Indefatigable/Eagle/Malta. To balance Ark Royal in T6 one way is to fiddle a little with the Aircraft, more but less performing than IJN/US, that can be said for the other tiers as well in different ways.

So that you get the camo and slot has been confirmed? To optimize seems to play one game to get rid of the attached camos which I use today then (and untick the restock)? I have the techtree ships already. Do we know if they are useful camos? No captain attached?

Noobstomper thats interesting Word. Well sealclubber is many low tier ships when equipped with good enough captains like Bogatyr. However no ship not even Nikolai is a sure win, but are almost by itself a ship that automatically gives that team an advantage. Especially if the CV player is a newbie. But I was placed in a Nikolai with if I remember correctly 7-8 DDs on each side and then I ran into difficulties, and was a victim of determined massattack from DDs, which was aggravated by some mistakes from my own teams DDs. However all T4 battleships would have suffered that fate. The thing is also how "easy" it is to be a real killer. If I remembered correctly I have reached 100 K+ in Wyoming maybe 2 times in 167 games, Ishizuchi maybe 5-6 times in 419 games, Myogi, Kaiser never above 100 (90+ best result) but fewer games, Nikolai twice in 18 games. Sure one has poor games with all, but the chances of good and above all great games are far greater in "OP ships". But of course there are ships which are considered OP which are not suited both to playing style and skill level of all players. Some ships take a big jump in results when certain captain skills are reached. I know that I fight with an disadvantage on higher tiers in my DDs as I do not have CE on any ships. Many of the DDs I face have that. As I am less skilled also in higher tier play I expect better results later after more experience. In Bogatyr my favourite ship on the other hand I have the advantage in skill and captain skills. But few seems to play that ship to a high level. If I am top tier in Bogatyr I know that we have a good chance to win if my team are not much weaker and gets stomped early. Its good also if they understand what I am good at in such a ship. But I suppose that is what you elastion mean by Noobstomper. I prefer the word sealclubber as Noob for me is a player that never learns.

In one of the Shootered Ships Pods there was an interview with a player that had gone to Ranked 1 on all servers, he stated that the EU players were better in teamplay and US players were better in individual skill. Interesting at least as a discussion point of view. I wonder how many outcries of bad team, noob team, it would be on their matches in chat...... On the other hand it was in ranked so he might have stated otherwise if he had played random. Language barriers are not an advantage for EU even if most have English as second language. The other servers I do not recall at the moment.

It is also important to see how much damage per hit, if you like to fire on hopeless targets or as soon you are in range it may disturb the figures. If you have a too good figure you may withold your fire to much. Some fights with very good results due f.e. to short distance can skew the results a lot if the sample size is small. It is also important if you have range range upgrade as you probably will fire more with it. And when it is upgraded wait a little so the stats have improved with the better hull etc. My Wyoming performances also went up a lot after I returned to the ship when I reached US tier 7-8 something. Suddenly your skill was far better so if you have bad or good results compared to serveraverage is also dependent if this is you first BB line or if you are a veteran. The German BB line when it was realesed were filled with a large portion of veterans that has long before grinded the UD/IJN trees, so its stats were maybe too good from start , now these factors are gone..

I would say König is the easiest ship to get solid results from of the T5 Battleships, The fact that she can brawl good is to your advantage if you have no DD Close. With AFT and flag her secondaries is of good support. Her speed is at least decent compared with the US ships even if you are uptiered so she can perform at T7 and she is very fun when top tier. Despite MM for T5 today I play König a lot.

Well most of the weekly missions has been regardless of the new or old (Krakentype) something that you do not concentrate on, if you get a kraken in the tight moment that is fine if not...well I play normal , mission fulfilment is bonus. The first stages go fine, rest is having a great game at the right moment.

But Grem and Nikolai you can get in the Santas presents

Port slotsx10 (which I bought) , premium time a few times and maybe 2 ships (Blys+ maybe one other). If you have a lot of gold chances increases it seems at least for me. Premium time offers have come when I have run out of Premium time.

I bought 19 presents to get the Nikolai, do not really know how much I was prepared to spend. Fortunately for my credit card account 19 was enough, but that has not stopped me from buying a few more, as it is fun to gamble a little. But Nikolai was the ship that I aimed for above all others, so I am superpleased. Seems like many familiar names have recieved her during the presents event.

I really screamed in agony realizing my bad luck when I got the Nikolai instead of Emden in the 5 EUR Package

Maybe not according to yourself, but if we talking about acceptable results the latest week results show between 26K (Lo Yang) and 40 K (Z-23) in damage average for T8 destroyers. If you reach near serveraverage that is definately acceptable. Besides these figures in Warship today does not show if I understand it correctly capping, scouting etc so performance for a DD it is always complex. If you kill 1,2 ships per game you are contributing positively to your team. If we discussing performance IMO we must have the serveraverage as a baseline. Besides we do not know how the ship and its captain is grinded for OP. Freexped or grinded? Captain from scratch? All these must be taken into account. 17 games are on the low side, can be skewed a lot by only a few top performances and a few rubbish. I see that a lot for myself - sleeping BB Yes 30000-60000 dmg........

Well I see valid Points from 2 sides , the L2P is of course valid in some instances but I can see a Point on T4`CVs(the sealclubbers), when they facing very slow BB/CAs from T3 with no/almost none AA at all. One problem is the skill difference in CV which perhaps is the greatest. If you have a sealclubber vs a newbie it will decide the match. On higher tiers when 3 squadrons attack w crisscross patterns there is nothing much to do but to sink or at least be heavy damaged. You are to admire the skill of course but if you have a poor Cv on your team it cost him nothing. If you have a CV that tries to defend his teammmates it at least cost the attacking CVs a lot of planes. On mid tiers this effects more seldom happen. The really outstanding CV players that can pull off this are not so many IMO that it causes a major problem.

100 Zulu Hotel for cpt traing for 1 EUR is good value IMO

yes I have recieved it by opening presents, would have been impossible otherwise, guess they count both normal containers and presents

Now you are a little hard the doubloon value if you win Emden and Ishi are better than if you have bought doubloons directly, at least you do not suffer with zero. If you win a lot of doubloons you can at least buy the premiums you want, perhaps when is sale on the tier. Maybe tier 8 will be in sale next period? One can see it like a lottery where you have some good things, some acceptable and some more mediocre but I think it is reasonable to say that it stated in the ad so you know what you are buying.

CV also
