I have toyed with the thoughts of IJN gunboat-style gameplay and you can certainly outfit some IJN DDs to say invisifire, but ultimately they won't be good at the job since they simply lack the gun dpm. Good alpha damage is neat when you can surprise another DD (or get surprised by one), but as a primary damage deal it lacks in punch. Also, even if an invisifiring IJN DD technically won't be spotted, if it wanted to kill something in a timely fashion, the torpedoes are the thing you need and even an unspotted DD will have a hard time getting a solid torpedo spread into a target if the latter has been knowing where you roughly are by virtue of having been shot at.

Well, looks like sumwun got dun goofed regarding the new matchmaking chart. On the other hand that might just be the devil's luck since it opens the possibility that the balancing team isn't totally high on discarded steroids, just the one dude who made the MM chart

Kannst gerne machen. Und hab Spaß auf der Animagic. Ich würde da ja auch gerne hingehen, muss aber arbeiten weil es an dem Wochenende voll wird

Yet again the Shchors: Personal Score Base XP could've been higher still since I had the choice of ignoring the Ryuujou in favour for solo-capping a point, but ultimately I wanted the Kraken more.

Indirect buff to Imperator Nikolai I. ... It's already admitted the Nikolai is so overperforming even with seeing t6 max games that you can't sell it anymore, and now you give it better matchmaking? Did Russia dump all its illegal doping stuff onto Lesta and the balancing team is helping in destroying evidence by way of smoking that crap or something?

You did well with ignoring the patchnotes and the plethora of forum discussions about this.

Hmm, will try it out. I typically try to force a DD to evade with a drop and then manualdrop into their course with mixed success (I get the ones that don't evade smart, I rarely get the ones that do evade smart). Another question would be why you eschew 'Advanced Firing Training' on all your cruisers. Is it due to the rarity of CVs in hightier games (though I do imagine you might division up with CV playing pals/clanmates so you'd arguably see CVs more often than others), or is it because 'Defensive AA Fire' already does everything you need? Right now I have my US CAs (New Orleans as highest tier ship in the line) set up with AFT (and AA Guns mod 2) to play to their AA strengths and was considering going AFT on the german cruisers too.

As a novice CV player, can you please explain why 'Torpedo Acceleration' is a must-have? To me it seems that 'High Alert' is a solid choice and the afaik the former also increases the torpedo arming time, meaning you can't manualdrop as close to targets as compared to without the skill. Does the +5 knots in torpedo speed really make up for that?

Then maybe OP just happened to have played a game already and didn't notice the resupply was disabled. Would be an easy explanation and patches are known for reverting settings to default (that reminds me to check my settings/keybinds/etc. when I'll log in later today ...).

Haven't checked into the game after updating yet, but if they removed all applied camouflages, etc. ... were you reimbursed for any credit/doubloon costs or do you have spare stuff sitting around? That isn't the potential issue. If applied camouflages/premium consumables were removed for good, you lost ingame money since you are charged for it the moment you apply it to your ship. As such, any applied stuff getting removed without it staying in inventory is a loss.

Looks quite similar to what I've had happen some time ago: http://forum.worldofwarships.eu/index.php?/topic/53449-hud-disappeared-then-game-crash-and-system-freeze-up/

Global hitregistration issue, not just BBs and not just AP, had several no damage HE penetrations. It's just easies to notice on a BB since the damage model is more recognizable and the lower rate of fire makes it easier to pinpoint which salvo/shot that supposendly penetrated didn't cause any damage.

And again the Shchors strikes: Personal Score First look at the MM and had a sad, cuz tier IX max ... then I saw the Izumo divisioned up with an Orlan and I started laughing (my usual madman laughter that is). Also had a nice moment when I straight up charged the Izumo who was still mostly health started three fires on my way there, then got into torpedo range and fired them off but since the Izumo was apparently not quite as stupid as its division might imply it had already started turning, no doubt anticipating my intent. Well ... the Shchors might only have 152mm shells, but at 3km and aiming for the nice flat, unangled ship bow and aft ends it's plenty enough (first salvo into the bow tip was ~8k damage!). Got a bit greedy trying to take on an Amagi and Tirpitz at the same time shortly thereafter (and I almost would've gotten away with it where it not for that one pesky AP shell that clipped my bow as I turned to evade). Sadly didn't get to send Orlan traitor to Gulag. Again an underwhelming game in regards to fires set. This is with a captain trained with the Demolition Expert skill, yet only four fires with 100 HE shell hits.

Nicht gänzlich inkorrekt, insbesondere wenn's wieder so schweineheiß wird wie die letzten Jahre, aber man kann sich auch alles schlecht reden was nicht nötig ist. Zwischen all den Nerds gibts auch etliche lustige Leute mit denen man ad hoc an einem Stand eine erstklassige Diskussion zu einem gemeinsamen Interesse (Spielserie zum Bleistift) anfangen kann. Plus natürlich das Cosplay Dorf wo jeder mal reinschauen sollte und wenn's einem auch nur im tiefe Ausschnitte geht ... Wenn Menschenmassen jemanden nicht sein Ding sind, ist klar dass die GamesCom als weltweit größte offentlich zugängliche Spiele Messe welche Jahr ums Jahr neue Besucherrekorde aufstellt nicht die beste Idee ist. Für alle anderen Leute ist es doch schonmal ein nettes Erlebnis, insbesondere wenn man dann auch Chancen kriegt mit den Community Teams und sogar Entwicklern von Lieblingsspielseries quatschen kann ( ... da muss ich jetzt dann aber auch sagen dass ich diesbezüglich die letzten Jahre priviligiert war und eben halt nicht mit den Massen stehen musste sondern zu den exklusiveren Vorstellungen/Meet'n'Greet und Parties gehen durfte). Nur mal so als extra Senf

The problem with Bastion is that it's basically just a race to capture the points the fastest. because with active fort and surveillance station in addition to the opposing team makes it ridiculously hard to recapture a point if they are even halfway competent in defending. After the initial push (which is usually decided by who has the better/more DDs), the gamemode just degenerates into a campfest where the team with the caps lead just hangs back to defend. Making the fort more powerful isn't going to improve anything. The surveillance stations that make it hard for DDs to try to recapture enemy caps is the aspect of the game mode that would require tweaking, not the forts. Thankfully getting that gamemode is relatively rare.

Ist ein bisschen länger als normal.

Nein, auch falsch. Tipp: Ihr Spitzname ist ein Wortspiel aus ihrem Vornamen und ihrer Position.

I'm in a Love/Hate relationship with the Shchors. On one hand, she's about as protected as a Sixties' Swinger party and you get citadeled if an AP shells as much as looks at you (203mm and up that is, you can angled somewhat reliably against 152/155mm Ap shells at least), plus the absolutely atrocious turning circle radius ... on the other hand its my highest average damage tier VII cruiser thanks to lots of performances like this: Personal Score And that was even a low fire chance game for my Shchors (captain trained in Demolition Expert) ...

A division placing spots #1-#3 (or just #1 and #2 for two player divisions) would seem a bit easy to achieve. Maybe that's just me having a bit biased experience, but that typically tends to happen when I division with other players. I like the idea for rewarding good division play (for equally biased reasons of course), but I think it should be a bit harder to achieve. Or have two medals, one normal and one heroic one. Normal one for having all division mates placing top of the team and heroic one for say having 50% (33% for two player division) of the entire team's total base XP between them (numbers subject to discussion, I just put them here more or less without doing any math about the feasability or propability). Anyway something like this would turn out, it would certainly be a small step to incentivice division play a bit more and more teamplay is something a teambased game can always need more of.

Nope.

Okay, mein Rätsel, sollte ziemlich einfach sein: Die gesuchte Dame ist eine Studentin einer sehr elitären Schuleinrichtung. Sie ist ausserdem als Assistentin/Aufpasserin einer anderen Studentin zugeteilt und extrem loyal zu dieser Person, ein Umstand mit dem sie selber ein wenig kämpfen muss nachdem ihre eigenen Ambitionen in einem Wettkampf geweckt wurden, bleibt aber zu jeder Zeit loyal und (zurecht) besorgt.
