Yes the stats above shows that

No the torps angles are great (7,5 range) and she is a premium do not need to be a OP premium.

If you are a collector (i.e. keeping all ships) it is not a problem to have large credit outlays, have had some tough 3 months where I bough 8 T10s 6 T9s 2 T8s and 2 T7s, it was a sum of 370 MKr. That means I have to pile up for my 2nd last T10 (apart from CVs) Moskva which are ready otherwise to buy. Sure I have a few days left of my vacation so a some days of play will make it. Just showing the massive sums that the higher tiers demands if you keep the ships.

Had xxNihilanxx just now in my team in his New Orleans on Shatter domination game. Solid win for us, most players performed good as far as I could see, pretty even game with us in slight lead all the game and we took early control of A and B and held that. Was a cyclone mid part of the game went together in a northern force with 2 BBs Mogami and myself in Hindenburg, managed to devstrike a Minotaur at 6 km range but he was unfortunately backed up by a yamato which sank me but not before I have sent off a few torps to kill him. Meanwhile xxNihilanxx asked us not to risk the game. Had counted on Mogami and Montana to join me and the other BB which helped to take down Yamato but they unfortunately did not follow for some odd reason, 4 ships together would have been very strong at that phase of the game to contest C from northwest and stop enemy ships from entering B. I should have communicated more to them but they followed so nice earlier. But we won anyway in the end without discussion. Am happy with my game at least, likes Hindenburg very much which I have bought a few days ago. Think she suits me very well, Roon was my best T9 cruiser so I have hopes for decent performance in Hindenburg, even though I was devstriked by a enemy BB yesterday with was pure catastrophic game.

Or maybe try save that Parks in Goliath who runs into the minefield - I have 5 stars but that one has eluded me - saw the trick expained after the victory. Or farm some freeXps, I think it is nicely done so a few games more is hurting noone. That there are hopeless players is present everywhere, it can be me also now and then.

I expect RN BBs at Gamescom, will be very surprised and disappointed otherwise Why can it be so hard?

Depends on where you start, after the gamemode zone disappeared, I have maybe 1 draw in 1000 games so it is rather 49.95 than 48%.

Well I voted all tiers, 50 battles, separated by Ship classes, nations and 50%. I am not sure of the exact meaning as I maybe do not think all should be applied at the same time. I think that one could look on the stats from several viewpoints, i.e. high tier cruisers, IJN DDs high tier T8-10 or so. I have a similar thing for myself but I accept one or a few missed ships. I have now over 12000 battles and are except on CVs reached at least T9 in every branch, most are T10 but just recently reached T10 in many so the overall statistics (at least 50 battles in a ship in my mind is required). My reasoning is like this: 1. All tiers should be included but divided into some suitable strata. I can think of T2-4, 5-7 and 8-10. and maybe 10 only (always top tier) I play all tiers and sure it may be called sealclubbing to play at lower tiers it is also a testimony that you are better. How else would you see your progression? If you advance to and only play high tiers and say reach 50% and you do not play lower tiers or free Xp new lines, but when you played them at the beginning you also had for the sake of reasoning 50%, you do not see your improvment. I as a collector have started on new captains every ship xcept for the last few months where I started to move or FreeXp the captains to 10 points on T9-10 ships. That might lead to see non-improvment as you with low tier captains regardless of skill are an underdog. Think of T8 DDs when you have CE vs not having CE. If you do not freexp modules and start with stock ships it is even worse. 2. Therefor a minimum of 50 battles/ship is also required before the stats are interesting, even if of course tendencies can be seen earlier. And also when you are studying your results in f.e. T9 cruisers and have 4 cruisers wirth 75, 30, 25, and 5 as a group. 3. Yes, your skill and playstyle are biased to one or several shipclasses. I had enormous problems with DDs in general and after half a year I am reaching at least an acceptable (average) standard, I am low on damage side but that is a common feature of my ships in higher tiers, I am better at WR than damage and survivabiliy which might indicate playing more for the objectives (cappping) in some ships. Or better tactical understanding due to experience rather than the actual multitasking in clicking etc ( Am 50 years old). So it is important for taking the right steps. 4. Nations, yes different nations/shipclasses demands different playstyles which indicate shortcomings in your play if ypu study them. Some nations f.e. RN cruisers I struggled with for a long time (smoke use for max benefit). 5.To have 50% in various natural stratas is the goal to start with, then aim higher. I also suggest that if you look on lower tiers your goal should be higher. Do not get concerned if a few ships struggle, you will always have haters. Let us say that you take T9 cruisers which I have 4 out of 6 above 50%. I think that is OK, I will not lie sleepless to better my Ibukis poor results once now I have now grinded it. Perhaps the goal should be to better all stats and improve but leave the dogs so to speak. If one could improve in them good, but with now 170 ships in port, I think also that one must leave individual poor ships. The game should be fun and I rather play ships that I perform decently or good in. Some of teh ships I also played long ago before I learned various aspects of the game or even know about stats, their stats are destroyed. Some do a restart, but I will not. Use the stats wisely, it is a good thing to have goals but do not let them take over your gameplay - it is a fine line. Flamu can certainly have the goals of high stats in every ship but I as an average player can not. I look for improvement but more in ship types, over all lines , tiers stratas , nations etc, just that every study should include several ships.

Happens from time to time but if you check in game results on last page after the game you will see the bonus.

1% extra firechance without detonation increase may be very useful on HE spamming cruisers, or DDs. 1 % may not sound much but on Akizuki f.e. it is substantial increase. I use that flag alot.

No but is useful flags a least. I got Juliet Charlie 100 a few days ago also useful .

Moneymaker- if I consider number of games played and the total overall profit I would say Arizona. But I have several premiums including Missouri and the summer sale (50% doubloon refund) I have now used to buy several T10 premium camos also on Hindenburg, Zao , Minotaur, Henri IV, Gearing, all these ships have I have just bought and equipped during this weekend (50% off upgrades) so I would say there are several fine future moneymakers in my port. I have concluded that around 50% of my T10 should have prem camos to offset tha other half. With only Moskva left which I could not afford after spending over 300 MKr the last months on ships, I after a few more days will have barely any credit needs, the RN BB line will easily be afforded then. Ishizuchi is a low tier premium but I have so many games in her so she is a fine moneymaker too. Tirpitz I have but I do not like her at all, hate ships with wonky guns, if a ship is fragile is one thing but bad guns no. Fortunately I got her in the Santas presents. I have most of the premiums so there are many potential moneymakers.

I have taken AFT as the skill with 14 p on the captain. High Alert on 2 points might be considered or BoS , it will reduce the impact of unlucky fires. I assue that you run prem consumables however. Maybe EM but French cruisers tend to be used at long range, last stand is not worthless, I think there are several OK skills but no outstanding.

Thx for the guide

Impressive work, but the about the T6 Eendracht. Are you sure of the 6 RPM figure? As the turrets were confiscated by the Swedish state and then used in Tre Kronor class with high RPM, or were they modified? Did not know that the stats were that slow RPM wise.

Just played a battle with Gallant on Hotspot standard battle that I was very happy over , not that I personally made a great battle, well it was decent (top 3), but a good display of teamwork and tactical understanding not so often seen without divisions. Hotspot is a map when the bases are opposite (excuse my futile attempts on the map. but it was the empty map that I found. We had a slight advantage when the cyclone appeared, after a while it became appearent that the enemys had split while we were in control of the center. Groups 1(green) (me in Gallant, a Belfast , North Carolina) and 2 Akizuki and Yorck were more or less together. Behind trailed Colorado 3 (and leander which I do not recall he exact location). One enemy DD were heading for base (red) 3. 1 were Fubuki and Yorck upper right and 2 Scharnhorst New Mexico somewhere south. Often you see cap contests end in failure but this time it was bulletproof: Why? Simply because when we headed for the cap, Yorck and Aki blocked the enemy reinforcement group but without any word departing to north thus denying any luck ambushes (it was in cyclone so anything can happen). I like that unselfish teamplay , not seeking cappoints but ensure victory! It looks simple but how often do you see capgroups split like that without divisioning or teamspeak?

Well after the Missouri grind I have used the freeXPs normally, i.e.. high tier ship upgrades B-hull etc so it is first now after I freexped the modules on Z-46 that I can collect FreeXPs again for a future ship.

Missouri (Iowa) is much faster but so it is different one thing is also your future strategic use of FreeXP, and the money you wish to invest in WOWs.

I have her too, but converted only 5000 doubloons on a sale, so most of the boat is grinded, but used up nearly all papa papa flags and other camos with freexp, the new year camo etc. If you got more money then time yes buy and convert, if you got more time than money, wait as the 35:1 FreeXPs comes from time to time. If you have summer sale doubloons (from buying Premiums that you had at 50/30% off with full doubloon refund) over this is psychologically cheaper, then you may have a go

True on EU server only EU ships counts, just like the US World series in Baseball.....

Still on 14/16 now with 32 duplicates, I know that I can trade them, but it is interesting too see if I can get them without using duplicates, yesterday I had four containers (Gallant No 1) 7 new duplicates. Now two further 3 container days. Edit now 14/16 + 38 duplicates I am getting tired of this....

Well I play Arizona, and I agree with you its speed stops you from influencing if the game is going in the wrong direction, but you can tank and do your damage. Besides I play with the ship I feel best in so I would not change for a DD yet. But if the META dictates that I might change.

Finally 5 Star victory. Have to thank foremost Kekspirat and Subotay, but in fact all of the team survived and performed, which gave us a little achievement also (no losses). I do not recall any losses of even the civilian ships. We had two Cyclones on the team myself and one other and we alternated smoking the team, at least I tried to run fwd when it was my turn etc. But it seemed that he did also. I have only played Cyclone once before (Then 2 star) so I was not succesful against the Schnellboote. But I am happy anyway. I am also happy with my new French captain for future use.

Probably have in reserve before taking him to a high tier RN Battleship. I have already captains for all cruisers and do not think that it is worth respeccing so far in the grind. At least I will wait to see the RN BB specs before I make a move. Considering I have both a Warspite and Hood captain on 12 points + a 8 pointer in works (will produce 10 pointers for the RN ships in advance), so the RN captain situation suddenly looks good, but as RN trees are growing RN and French captains are needed, other nations not so much.
