  1. A cheeky game in the Marblehead: A ship I hadn't enjoyed much and sat unloved in port collecting rust for the longest time ever since I got her in crate, but lately I seem to get the hang of it (and the IFHE captain certainly helps considering tier V still gets uptiered so regularily). Not sure if that thing about the supposed secret fire chance bonus is a thing, but I do get decent luck with fires in her (considering it's specced into IFHE and not high eenough captain level to compensate with Demolition Expert yet). And then there was this Minotaur game: Special shout-out for the allied Gearing that put up a selfless smokescreen line when we asked for it and then DIDN'T just sit in smoke but actually went ahead and spotted. Shame he got jumped on by three DD (including a Khaba), plus a Zao and Moskva. He survived with barely some HP left (though thanks to the smoke allowing my Minotaur and Morten's Zao to get close we could provide support and the enemy team traded two DDs and the Moskva, the only radar ship in the match, for mauling our Gearing). A good trade, though naturally sucked for the Gearing. We made sure to compliment him for his teamwork!

    I somehow doubt they're going to give me enough bonus codes to supply the entire clan(s) with, though if WG decides to shower me with stuff, I won't say no and naturally share. Would be neat if any other Scrubs are going to Gamescom on the wednesday so we can meet up, maybe lick a window or two.

    I am officially recognized by the WG mods to be a WTF-poster! Not sure if I should be proud or scared (they be watching me, I can feel it!).

    What's going on with Khabarovsk.

    With 9,7km detectability he has neither, but his statement regarding Bensons wrecking him from smokes implies he's still trying to contest hot caps. Maybe an outlier of the Tirpitz syndrome: have torps, must use them even if it doen't make sense! -> Rushes into the enemy to get within 6km and dies. Because a properly kiting Khaba is still just as nasty (if not more thanks to the heal) than before a couple nerfs and the only chance another DD has is to outspot it and then have the trigger discipline to NOT start a bloody gunfight with a Khaba, then have his team shoot it up or bail if the team is a bunch of potatoes who won't try to nuke an enemy Khaba at the earliest possible moment.

    What's going on with Khabarovsk.

    Well, if you insist the Khaba not being a light cruiser, then by all means continue trying to play her like a DD and attempt to capture domination points with your 9,7km detectability and get wrecked by Bensons in their smokes. We can't help you if you don't want to hear you might be doing something wrong.

    Don't sail close to angry smokes? Particularily US DDs with their freedom mortars will have a hard time hitting you even if all you do buzz at fullspeed in a straight line. If you're getting chewed up by a US DD, you were at the wrong place at the wrong time. Don't fight on their turf on their terms. He's not wrong. And no, the Khaba wasn't balanced. This is a classic PEBCAK error code, to fix this try to git gud.

    You're assuming all those Shimakaze's are actually using their guns. That's cute!

    Khabarovsk unplayable. You heard it WG. Where's muh bussian rias? Khaba not blyatiful enough! Gib 2 second rudder shift, additional tier IX/X upgrade slot with Aiming Systems Mod.2 and RN CL heal, xaxaxaxa. But seriously now, Khaba is broken. I still keep getting DD MM in this ship. Khaba is a light cruiser, not a DD, WG plz fix!

    Khabarovsk must've had a raging murderboner the entire game. And whilst I don't have a Harekaze myself, I have an Akizuki and those guns will melt DDs like going through butter with a hot knife so if those Harekaze's were running the 100mm gun hulls, I'd stick close with my division mate and go hunting! Plus the Harekaze is a good bit more manouverable than the Akizuki from what I see so less chance of sliding into a skill wall whilst you're about teaching DDs what happens if you don't angle against low-caliber AP.
  13. And here we have rare live-footage of Morten and his Zao:

    My forum avatar wouldn't fit well with the white base colour of the shirt. Tag and nickname will suffice. I'll see if I can get the image dimensions tomorrow, then we can finalize concept for the big image if possible. Anyone here good with crayons?

    Color is probaby best to do for a yellow/gold tone (similar to the colour you see yourself on the teamlist and if you're in divisions). Also, what Avatar?

    Don't have the exact image dimensions yet, hadn't had time to go to the store so far. Also, on the backside, clantag+nickname would be better to keep in line with how clantags are currently positioned (also looks better imho). Absolute deadline would be the 22nd.

    @Seaman80 grad im roten Team gehabt als ich in meiner Kamikaze R schnell die Dunkirk Kontainer gesammelt hab (mal wieder natürlich nur Duplikate ...).

    Reaper, where do you live again? Was it New Hampshire? Please say it is New Hampshire!
  23. Met @Deckeru_Maiku in his Dunkek on the red team as I was doing a quickie to get the Dunkirk containers for today in my Kamikaze R. Sadly the match development didn't let us try to hunt another.
