Hab nie 'Golden Age' geschaut so ich kann nicht vergleichen, aber die neue Serie fast komplett CGI und es schaut absolut GROTTIG aus. Lore bezüglich ... sagen wir mal die Serie hat mal so ein paar Kapitel übersprungen/übersehen. Als mehr oder weniger Purist ist das zumindest für mich ein Nagel im Sarg für die Show ... wenn ich noch mehr Gründe bräuchte als den überzogen schlechten CGI Fetisch der Produktion.

Weil wir gnädig sind. Du willst dir Berserk 2016 wirklich nicht antun. Ignorieren der Warnung auf eigene Gefahr!

Were you in smoke?

Hmm, not sure exactly how the tier IV cruiser MM looks like right now (since I don't exactly trust the messed up new chart put up so far), but afaik tier IV cruisers can still see tier VI MM as opposed to the tier V max MM for the Langley. Not too bad since mirror MM for CVs, but still Langley vs Cleveland isn't a thing I'd recommend

Feel free to chat me up ingame for divisions. I'll poi you all you want! In regards to RNG: Same here. I just gave a reason how game mechanics can be made to suit a more casual gameplay vs more skill-based gameplay. I'd personally prefer a bit less RNG, but that also mean that some ships would require a rebalancing in some ways (think how awfully OP BBs would be if their guns were considerably more accurate/less RNG dispersion).

When it comes to the extent of some game mechanics, yes. Randomisation like shell dispersion can be used to balance out the playing field so that people with good aim can't just wreck people with less good aim because they won't hit every salvo. But for competitive gameplay, too much RNG is a design that disincentivizes precision in favour for volume of fire. Likewise, random deaths, see the detonation mechanic. If a random HE shell can detonate you regardless of your health, that's bad game design if you intent to promote skill. And as I've recently seen a dev mention (forgot where exactly, so I can't quote), it's impossible to truly negate the chance of detonations. The Anti-Detonation flag is no guarantee, it just makes the odds very, very unlikely. I very much doubt Counter Strike would've become such a successful Esports title if you could kill a player by having a lucky RNG roll after grazing his toe with a pistol bullet. Now, that doesn't constitute a mutually exclusive relationship by definition of course. But the current way they look, I personally wouldn't see WoWs to be a game well designed to work as a succesfull Esports game. Exactly what would have to change how much would be open to debate.

I disagree that such manners are getting more rare. I'd rather say the vocal nature of such whiners just makes them seem more prominent. Though that would be hard to prove, so I'll just let this float in the room as my personal opinion.

Und ich hatte so 'ne nette Strähne ... aber auch ein netter Weg für einen ersten Post Dann gib uns mal ein nettes Rätsle das eines zweiten Post's würdig ist

WG is a bit two-faced then if they want to make their games into Esports. That or people are misinterpreting the game's target audience to fit the evidence, rather than the intent (which may or may not be properly realized within the games' current frameworks).

It would by hypocritical of me to say that I didn't have some experience with subpar player populations *cough*XPbonuseventsonweekends*cough*, but it would also be hypocritical if I claimed not to derp out spectacularily sometimes and people who'd be the witness of that would have every right to judge my behaviour as monumentally stupid given the situation. That said, everyone should be aware that any such judgements are biased perception. Players typically tend to overestimate their skills (yes, even humble players will do that, albeit typically to a lesser extent, but they are no exception!) and set the bar to evaluate others equally high. I haven't played many multiplayers with opposing teams larger than two players (basically only Battlefield and WoWs), but if I had to say anything based on that little experience, I'd say this playerbase is par for the course as you'd expect.

Korrekt:

Yun aus 'Only Sense Online'. Und dabei hatte ich den schon geistig abgehakt weil der Typ garnicht weiblich ist, bur halt einen extreme feminimen Avatar hat, aber der Tipp mit dem Sense System hat's dann doch gedreht. Derp, falsch erinnert ... Typ ist tatsächlich weiblich im Spiel.

(Tool-)Tip for the future: rightclick on an upgradable module and then check the ship stats in the drop menu. It will show the exact difference between the currently selected modules with the stats of the upgrade (say stock hull stats vs B hull stats).

Hab Hoppouchan in seiner/ihrer Krasny Krim im roten Team getroffen. Ich selbst hab aber MASSIV rumgederpt und mit 'ner gegnerischen Königsberg Deckungs-peak-a-boo gespielt. War zwar dumm wie Sau, aber extrem lustig. Hat auch geklappt (Königsberg with den 150ern gegen meine Furutaka 203er in einem Winkelduel, kein Wunder), hatte dann aber die Nachladezeit für seine Torpedos unterschätzt. Hab mich vor Lachen halb weggeschmissen. Und das ganze dann am Ende nochmal als ich gesehen hab dass diese miserable Show mit ~17k Schaden auch noch gereicht hat in der besseren Hälfte meines Teams zu landen War wohl auch nicht der einzige der Hoppouchan über den Weg gelaufen ist

You have to know that the Budyonny is an exceptionally good ship for its tier to put things into perspective. Shchors is still a very potent ship, but the environment changes with it: it has less armour than the Budyonny and it will face opponents with bigger guns much more frequently, so not getting hit in the first place is much more important than in the Budyonny which can actually tank a lot. Shchors and Chapayev are better suited as escort ships rather than frontline fighters. You typically want to be the guy that everyone ignores in favour for a more juicy target and just put your DPM to work with your fastfiring 152mm guns. With Demolition Expert, a Shchors firing HE can rack up quite the number of fires and associated damage, plus anything that gets too close and is showing a nice flat side will take massive damage from AP volleys (don't hesitate to shoot even battleships with AP, hits into the superstructure or even into the hull (aim for the bow or aft ends) can net you 5k+ damage salvoes, even with just 152mm caliber shells!). Also, the fact the russian cruisers stick to the lower caliber guns has the advantage that they don't sacrifice rate of fire, which makes them incredibly potent against destroyers. I also typically recommend to play the destroyers rather early on to get a feel how they play. It's an invaluable experience, particularily helpful to use against other destroyers. Once you know how the DDs play and what their limitations are it's much easier to predict and counter them, making your life easier in every class of ship. I'd say play the IJN and US DD lines at least to tier V with the Minekaze and Nicholas to get a feel for the torpedo and gunboat/ambush DDs. Optimally you'd want to play every ship class/line, but knowing how to deal with destroyers is particularily important because those little buggers only need one good chance to mess you up something fierce.

Well, to be honest the Midway was kinda just derping around, but still 25 Midway planes shot down for a t8 ship (without Defensive Fire of course, but just to emphasize that) is pretty nifty. And yes, the guns are a pretty accurate now since the sigma buff. Your shells typically tend to go where you want them to, but of course there's always the couple oddshots where your shells just go places ... but that's counterbalanced by the fact that you also get salvoes where your shells fly so tightly packed together you'd think the second one would just fly straight through the hole the first one made and pass clean through the ship without actually touching it once ...

Ka-tching, das Mahl ist serviert. Meine Güte, dafür das 'Shokugeki no Souma' ein so exzellenter Manga/Anime ist und auf jedermanns Liste stehen sollte hat das aber lange gedauert Und für die Linguisten als ein bisschen Trivia: Der Spitzname ist "Hishoko", ein Wortspiel aus ihrem Vornamen (Hisako), ihrer Position (Sekretärin/Assistentin = Hisho) und dem japanischen Wort für junge weibliche Personen ("ko"), ergo wörtlich übersetzt bedeutet "Hishoko" "Assistenten Mädchen". ... da musste ich erstmal mein Hirn entknoten weil ich Anime nur auf Original mit englischen Untertiteln schau ("Secretary Girl" ist eine sehr schöne Übersetzung in's Englische, sowohl wörtlich als auch was die Bedeutung angeht).

Don't know how the NC was pre-buff, but right now she's a charm. Easily one of the most enjoyable BBs I've played with so far. Guns are good if you know how much you have to lead and the higher ballistic trajectory actually comes in handy to fire over obstacles. More than enough range so you actually don't really need the Artillery PLotting Room mod 1. Also she has an insane AA suite, with AA Guns mod 2 equipped and a captain trained in AFT and Manual AA Control, this ship swats planes out of the sky like a tailor, seven in one go (seriously lower tier airplanes pretty much die instantly as they get within your AA range, equal tier planes will lose a majority of their numbers when they try to attack and even a Midway/Hakuryu will lose a singificant chunk of planes if they try to strike you (or something near you)). Armour is very good and the gun layout is great for aggressive bow-on angling. The ship is reasonably manouvreable, though not quite as nimble as the Colorado. It's also one of the few higher tier ships where I never felt I had to free XP anything to make it work. I was consistently having blast games even in its stock configuration and with upgrades she only got better and better. As for free XPing your way to her, I honestly think you'd be doing yourself a disservice with skipping the Colorado. She apparently has a bit of a reputation (again from before she was buffed I presume) but it's a fun ship to use if you like playing a bit more aggressive in a BB.

So, nachdem es bisher keine weiteren Versuche ist wohl wieder ein Tipp an der Reihe: Sie ist eine gute Köchin.

Our division (DJ_Die, T0byJug and me) met AnotherDuck. Was a nice game and I actually ended up top despite being a bottom tier CV. That ram kill on the enemy Independence

Yes they have the right and they should in fact make use of it. If a MP game launches with a specific element being overpowered (a certain build-order being too effective, a unit/weapon/whatever, etc. pp.) things get nerfed too, irregardless of players having purchased a game for full price at launch. Players pay for specific premium ships, not for the concept of nerf-immunity or overperforming ships. Game elements being balanced in MP games is bread and butter for the genre.

Ouch.
