Oh dear, collected my Allowance till i had enough for the Lazo last night, I have bought 2 containers for 30 allowance tokens each, got a mission for a T5 ne, not even played it yet though as only completed the mission this morning.

OGHF are still looking for players to help us into Clan Battles.

Hi Sariour21, We are a medium sized clan in World of Warships, but we are part of a larger multi national Old Gits Having Fun clan that has it’s own World at War, Cod4 servers etc. So as you can guess we are a more laid back and mature bunch. We are looking for players for our World of Warships clan and you could fit right in, we play all tiers, play scenario and Naval Battles, Randoms etc, we are recruiting more captains so we can advance into Clan Wars, we use TS3 rather than Discord for comms and are a fairly happy bunch, like a bit of light hearted banter etc. Please check our main Clan out and see what you think.  https://www.oghf.org.uk   Regards, Chris (AKA Cyclops)

Also using the 20k torps, tend to flank if safe and torp the radar ships hiding behind islands

Thanks for the write up @Taschkent_ can you do one for the Khaba please as I suck BIG time in her.

Mino, shima, harugumo for me.

I voted for 40 secs as it is mainly DD that have to cap and with the present meta of CV it has become a game of extreme cat and mouse, a good CV can now flush out or kill a DD even in smoke with one squad of TB doing 2 cross dropped runs. If no CV in game then normal 60 secs applies.

You have taken what I said out of Context, it was an answer to someone's post on how gash was ditched, not an answer of what the chute was for. But to answer your question, no, I do not know what it was for, a bit before my time.

Afraid not, the “Special Shells” would come under the Chemical Warfare umbrella, so are banned

Gash is (was) always ditched over the stern, not the side. Normally Gash could not be ditched till permission was granted from the bridge “Gash may now be ditched”. In todays modern ships all gash is compressed and stored till the ship gets alongside.

Actualy Russia was part of a coalition of 3 main countries that jointly won the war, the main and longest contribution came from the UK although with help from the Russians and Americans.

As ex Royal Navy I can assure you that there are sea water intakes below the waterline ( water cooling for the engines, sea water also used for flushing toilets etc ) engine cooling water exits along with bilge pump water, water from showers, toilets and from the galley etc all exit through the side of the ship just above the water line.

Bilge pumps exit just above the water line through the side of the ship, saves pumping it up to deck height.

Unfortunately the Italian Navy did not really survive the 2nd WW, firstly the Royal Navy did for a good part of them at the beginning of the War with the Battle of Taranto, then there navy was split up by Germany. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Taranto

Back up and running again

Manual AA is no more or I thought it was????

And that is where it all went wrong

Now I am a pretty crap CV player, but I got the Graff in a Container, think I have played 2-3 games, and this is the result, so if I am rubbish with a CV what is a GOOD CV Skipper like??

Oh dear, you MISSED the point entirely the topic is regarding low AA DD needing a bit of a buff on It’s AA as it is a Gallant and other low AA are a sitting duck. Regarding smoking up and waiting for CV. To go away, what about RN DD?? with it’s short duration smoke and Very slow speed??

I don’t disagree with a lot you have said, but one thing you don't take into account is the fact that if you come up against another ship in your ship you can manoeuvre behind an island and make an escape, turn away and escape or kill him. As a DD once a CV has you in his sights you can do nothing against him except shoot his planes, you cant shoot the CV as he is the other side of the map and with out AA like in a Gallant etc you are unable to defend yourself and you are dead, yes the DD can stay with a CA/BB but he is of no use to the team as his gun range will keep him out of a gun fight, all he can then do is spot and smoke his team mates, which leaves him in a position of losing credits etc as he has not contributed to the game.

They are considered op when used alongside other team mates to burn down a BB, but they are easily killed when out of smoke, a CV on the other hand can not be spotted or fired on when it's planes attack you, yes if you have good AA you can destroy his planes after 1-2 passes, but he is back with more planes in less than 1 minute and he starts again, so rinse repeat etc, THAT is the problem.

Same thing happened to 3 of us last night at around 11.30 (UK time).????

Thanks WG ( @MrConway )after losing 4 games on the trot I went out with my clan mate in my Neptune, sank 4, 90k + Done, we killed last ship, screen froze back to port after 30 seconds +and it did not register game, so thanks WG, thanks a bunch
