Met Aotearas and MrWastee on Islands of Ice recently. My team managed to win a solid win. The fun and engaging mechanic played a role as I managed to detonate Aotearas in his Khabarovsk sadly I was myself detonated in my Grozovoi later in the game, thought I would be able to double up on my Russian achievment but was denied, I am happy nevertheless with my play 87K which is not good for the unicums but for me, Strangely the right thing was to move to A and then down to take B. The spawn happened that way, otherwise I do not like A on this map, sadly some ships played a little passively and and some too aggresive and wasted themselves almost for nothing. But a win is a win.. Complimented Aotearas after battle for the greeting (Good manners)

I think this is an interesting question, I value your input as one experienced player, you are better than me so it is with some reluctance I put in this somewhat other view. I know Flamu takes CE also. But while I agree on higher tiers I do not agree on lower /lower mid tiers and there I have played a lot, probably more than many of the more gamer category of players as I am acollector and like the earlier ships and have lots of 10p captains and above. I also think that CE is more beneficial for the experienced player. For a newbie or average player I think with the new skill tree that survivabilty perks are more important than CE. I have CE on almost none lower tier ships, reasons the BBs are generally too slow and the maps too small. You have more difficulty to disengage and as a newbie you need these tiers to learn to angle and aim correctly not necessary play the optimal way that a above average /unicum player does. So as it is easy to get caught wrong I think it is better to use f.e. BoS, Fire prevention, High alert if you have the points not necessary on the expensive high tier perks. Lower tier BBs far more often dies because of fires compared with higher tier ones. (Tip play with Prem consumables, at least the DCP.) Once again please note that this is about lower/lower mid tiers say up to 3-6, I do not use CE even in my 19 p New Mexico captain, which I used on my Arizona in the last ranked with decent results. I do not use it for my 14 p Wyoming captain either. (Ships that I like to play that are slow and therefor hopeless to disengage from in general).

Gave the Akizuki a few tries before I gave in and respecc the skills and then made the last mission, now I have the goal to get all twice at least so it is easy to recognize in the achievements list. Sad to see the negative posts, this was very fun IMO. If you think this was boring @ASharpPencil what is fun? Can not agree with you at all. Fun sort of pixel sculptures with great looks, diversity from their history. I give you the verdict that you like nothing.

Powercreep exists but it is not the Kongo but the Kawachi and Myogi at tier 3 there is useless. South C have at least get its range clearly buffed.

The ship is strong but dependant on ammoswitching its AP is mediocre naturally when you have played QE/warspite earlier so it is lots of switching, uptiered she struggles a bit with 14-inch guns but overall very good

Yes thrown out after battle technical issues

Atlanta is a situational ship and dont need to be buffed, it is not a ship designed for ship vs ship apart from DDs and harassment. You get your WR by supporting and area denial for CVs

Thank you Sir!

I had during the two years (in one month) have the occasional crash, it was after the RN patch that there has been an increase, even though I had to do the integrity test tp get it work. I hav eread that Win10 that I have has been a reason for some problems. Mostly I think the game works alright. It is the only onlinegame I play atm so I have nothing to compare with, I do not use any mods to minimize problems after I have seen lots of reports that this is often a culprit, with the regular patches I just simply do not have the time to reconfigure and dribble.

If not players understand that with normalizing service cost it is no use to play passively how would these players understand the stick? I hope you do not mean normal defensive play as all ship types are not meant to go in and die the first minutes. And if you are ahead on points it is better to play defensively or you might have to if more than one half rushes on two brothers domination the other need to defend?

No they were not but on US they were quick to find the requirements. BTW have you never played any MMO games before. It is a example how to build a community when the players are required to do forum activity to learn the achievements it is the same every time and it is fun to find and search and experiment. Why does everything need to be served? It is a well proven tactic to do this in these kind of games.

That is right perhaps Wichita 9x8 or maybe at T7 Brooklyn 5x152 mm or a Cleveland (Fargo) with better gunarcs and not nerfed to T6. However the earlier US cruisers are a little underpowered for T8 and the Baltimore too strong.

If the WG makes an easy copy paste which is after all for the US market (she exists as a museum ship) and therefor have lots of US buyers to a cheap prize why not release f.e. Glowworm in Europe? There is afterall cheap ways to increase sales a little. While I do agree about the negativity of all BBs after all I doubt that the increase of a sistership will mean much. If you have Alabama , besides the earlier post how many will really buy her and increase the play with BBs. My own incitament to buy her or Albama is probably unchanged , it might happen or it might not but hardly both.

Had to work so the answer have taken a while. Well I think they are at higher tiers a nice middle of the road mixture, you have on T8 (and T6) the option for heavier guns with slower RoF bir far better firechance. i have used the heavier (which on T8 gives more guns too , do not be fooled here. You have decent torps with good range which have low damage but reloads fast, the gun arcs are far better than the US but still good RoF. So when you hit a ship with torp and he blows the damage repair you have a good chance to set him on fire. They tend to be easily damaged if you overcommit (large and wide) but I tell you when you see that unescorted non-German DD that comes to a cap and thinks that he is safe in smoke or you smoke up and launches that hydro for (which I use the upgrade on , you know the SC upgrades) and you know that he is doomed (the unexperienced)................. that is wonderful, that you can not do in another DD must add the smiley twice so fun it is! My stats tell me that I succeed better in these among the various DDs, though I have rather poor dmg stats compare to win stats in all DDs, but the Germans suits me best. I tend to play too hard for the caps and objectives in the DDs and the Germans are best equipped for this. My survival ratein DDs are abysmal, but I contribute at least decent , but in a well regarded DD as Fletcher I have useless 44% (potato level) but in Z46 60 % and Z23 58% Solo play even if I reached Fletcher earlier that is shameful but the Germans are pretty decent.

you can post the WTR / Wows number stats, fine results btw

Personally I have föund the German DDs one of the most fun to play DDs especially as the torp reloads at higher tiers are really good. I stopped when they were released at T5 as it was useless and you have the bloom issue but some months later when these issues was fixed I must say that I am pleased that I carried on later Maass is alright and Z23 and up I like a lot.

I know but I levelled up a Grozovoi 10 pt + some others earlier so I am nearly down pn less than 50000 wth only 2 19 p it is slow to rebuild, I use AP a lot-had suddenly 29000 in artillery damage but then the torps failed

well I have elite commander XP but i have too little to waste it on just 1 ship

Hello again, so you could not bear to cheat Well I will see if I have to I have played some Akizuki games now very frustrating as I have not the captain skills for IFHE yet and I have hundreds of hits with almost zero damage even if I get the torp damage. I have too much left to grind for that skill. I need som top tier games but I have almost always had T10 games ...... While you normally can handle that it is frustrating when you must have artillery damage. Have been 1300 damage short once where the game ended because we won , great!

I think the event is great with lots of diversity. We have had events/campaigns where it is rather free choice of ship if not shiptypes and this was imagination and fun to have something different. Sure it has it drawbacks but I applaud the effort, and it shows some creativity which I liked. Otherwise it would be similar to other events. This was new and I like the forum activity which solves and discuss the event. Overall I am very happy , I have still the IJN DD to solve , have plenty of duplicates but I will hang on it is at least something I want to fix the real way.

As others have remarked you have an Atago T8 Cruiser. I have now 13000+ battles. I bought the same ship as you early (my first premium) with poor results even if they were better than yours. It is of course your money but your remarks are typical of the frustration when you are at a tier you are not ready for. Yes DDs can stealth torp, the key is to learn how to avoid at least being dev striked and only take 1, it can happen some times for all, but there are ways map awareness, experience from where the attacks are likely to come, keeping an eye on minimap, learning torp ranges and concealment values for the enemy destroyers etc. Stealtfiring is removed but it might come when a ship is driving away from you just outside visibilty and you follow and so to speak drive into the shells otherwise it does not happen after the first salvo. The dispersion and visibilty decrease is there for all with silver credits (in game money), it is your choice to use them. My advice is to try learn and understand the game mechanics, there are plenty of youtube guides, Ichase f.e. for basic mechanics just check that it is produced this year , even though some things have not changed dramatically some mechanics like stealth fire removal, captain skills have. If it is guides on specific ship types you may find older guides alright but look for 2017 at least in general.

It is the flags you get per 1000 games not the camos.

I managed Biz after 2 games, but the problem is that you need to be damaged and survive, I had the fortune to be focused fired a lot so I had tanked other damage also and then ran into torps, managed to survive the flooding and recover, but you either are lucky or deliberately get fires burning.

Well the 2 DD requirements are left, RU and IJN. I have good faith in that I would get them but you have only so much time and I wanted also to get full use of the 200% wins in the captain grind etc. and Yamamoto missions.

It is sad thet they never publish roughly figures of what to expect.
