Not only you. On certain maps are spots with reflections where you don't even see the torps in the water even with hydro active. I don't like them at all, especially CV drops are worse than deepwater torps now. Not a fan.

127% not interested, like pretty much every event of this kind. It's just not my cup of tea.

I can not tell you exactly where it was and when it was, but i'm almost certain that there is a video about how they create new ships based on blueprints and test them, how they go into supertest and then on PTS for a public test. Maybe someone else remembers this video, i don't, but i'm 99.9% sure that i've seen this before. Update It's somewhere in this playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVmXzlhZvJVRF1k1CD98EmOXQYaVhLVUN

Ah okay, so the player has to set this manually first. I looked at my own profile as well and didn't see any "clan mates are allowed" option, because i didn't click on hide/link which apparently reveals the new option. I thought this new option allow clan mates to see stats no matter what, in clan members tab ingame. Bad wording of the new feature i guess. Thanks for the clarification.

Yeah i used to use them a while ago, before the shells and tracers got a new design (not this one but the new design before, like 2-3 years ago). I've just installed this mod again and it is so much better to see incoming shells - though i don't like the light green for SAP. I really hope WG brings back the old design and colors.

I like this word, i think i'll adopt this.

Some strategies depend on the map, the side of the map the team spawned, what ship composition the enemy team is and so on. Sometimes middle push right off the bat are good, sometimes flanking is better. Certain ships often have prefered positions, because it's the only position where it makes sense, so playing around this from the start is often a good idea. Example are radar cruisers usually always go to the same islands near caps. You don't have to see them, you just know they will go there in 99% of the cases. Flanking as a DD and pre-torping this position can yield an early advantage. Same as certain DDs, like IJN torp boats, they love to flank and this is where you usually find them and get a free kill as DD hunter. and so on and on. No need to be a unicum, just have some game knowledge and common sense.

And the water splash animation looks like it's in slow motion with initial delay. Already reported this in the current update forum, along the exactly same issue with shells, tracers and torps visuals.

Well, as the op is registered less than 2 months ago, someone should tell hit that it's like this since 5+ years and i doubt that WG gives a flying f...art about if he has to work at that time or not.

Stop bringing logic into the issue, this destroys the drama.

Where do i find this? It doesn't work with accessing the player profile directly ingame or via the website, it also doesn't show stats for a hidden account on the clan member page. Everything looks exactly as before. @YabbaCoeany idea about this? Is this feature related to the clan member rank? Is there an option to enable first? Is the new feature bugged or am i just blind?

Yeah it's sad. But there was also a market for the other way, mercenaries. Today this is a game feature, but back then there were unicum mercenaries on NA and EU (probably all servers) who sold their service to clans for real cash. They made a pretty penny and pushed clans into the high ranks where they didn't belong. A couple of them even streamed this and bragged about it on stream. A popular one of this species got banned because he was smart enough to stream with active aimbot on the screen - pretty sure quite a few here remember this guy and what clan he was from. Certain clans also had alt clans to farm steel and joined them with a group of the same players, jumping from one alt clan to the next, like locusts. This eventually led to player bans, several clan disband and the 3-day wait time between leaving a clan and joining another one. Back then there was no downtime or maybe an hour, i can't remember. You could leave a clan and just join the next one without waiting.

Did the other "farm model" that existed on NA in the past die down? You know, certain unicum clans selling single temporary spots in their clan for real cash (a lot of it from what i've heard) to carry said "new member" through CBs until their steel farming was complete, then kicked out the "new member" and everyone was happy. This was when CBs had bigger teams and pre-free steel for everything though.

Totally what you should do in a team game, never communicate. A game that is a MMO, which revolve around to socialize and interact with other players - yep, just never do it. Even IF you only say Hello in chat this is enough to can get you chat banned. Why? Because the system is horsecrap. Everyone knows by now that reports do jack, other than chat reports - that result in a chat ban eventually. So what you see on a daily basis on streams, even by the most popular CCs who stream, report people who play bad or not to their liking, as chat misbehavior. THIS behavior should be sanctioned, because it exploits and abuses the system, which is clearly against the "rules", but WG being WG, they don't care.

This mission, exactly how drunk was the person who added this one? I think in my nearly 12.000 battles have i never had a game with 15 flood/fire. I also just checked Flamu's Halland game on YT with 26 torp hit plus HE spam and he only got 9 ribbons. I also watch a lot of streams and can not remember a single time where the streamer (usually unicums/superunicums) had 15+ flood/fire in a single game. I'm curious who here has ever had 15 flood/fire ribbons in one game? Also, how about the Dev who thought this mission is a good idea get his/her salary suspended until this person complete this very mission? I wanna know if this person will starve to death or if they can redeem themself.

Wait for this announcement for Mikasa. The highest T2 WR and the UNDISPUTED strongest T2 BB ()

Yoshino is … well, there are many better cruiser options in the game Salem is a worse Des Moines which you can get for free. Radar is much worse, the heal i overrated because you can not heal nearly as much back as you wish or the "superheal" make you believe. No legendary upgrade force you to play it old style DM, which is island hugger. With CVs in the game you can not island hug or you are dead in no time. Marceau is mega fun, extremely strong ship but not easy (read hard) to play for several reasons. Shell arks are really bad (doesn't bother me as a US DD main), you have no smoke and no heal, so you rely solely on your ship speed, dodging shells and french saturation - not everyone like this (i used to hate open water gunboats too with RU DDs, but get used to it with the French DDs). Arguably the 2nd best DD at TX after Smaland. It's also a very nice commander trainer / commander XP farmer, because you hunt, fight and kill a lot of enemy DDs. I don't have Slava or Ohio, but from many streamer (usually unicums) it seems that Slava is not a good ship. It's a one-trick pony, long range broadside sniper. As soon as targets angle or get into medium to close range, the Slava deals no damage and is just an XP pinata. Ohio seem to be a very well rounded ship that can handle any situation and has improved heal. m2pc (my two pleb cents )

For a while they gave out FTW camos for positive karma and no chat bans on NA. I think it was every 3 months where you got like 25 of them. Back then these camos were really good with 333% commander XP and +20% credits. This "good behavior program" never made it to EU and was dumped again after about a year on NA. Anyway, the only stupid thing about karma is, that reports are bound to it. Like how many times you can report players. At least chat reports should be unlimited, because what does WG think? That people suddenly stop their racist and other [edited] in chat after you used your 7 to 11 reports over the course of maybe 20 games?

Well, i tried …

WG should rename the USS Flint to USS Norange - problem solve, you're welcome.

So i ranked out in Silver, with a horrible WR because i don't really care that much about ranked anymore and i'm only interested in the Steel and Doubloons. Maybe it was because i played Ranked kinda late in the Sprint or maybe it's a general thing, but i was genuinely surprised about how few CV games i had. I would estimate that i had maybe 1 out of 15 games with CV. As a DD main this is a nice thing. Let's hope that next Sprint all CV players are in Gold and i can farm my stuff in Silver without being harassed by edited. Edit: language please

Oh don't worry, they will come with something to ruin this for us too.

Previously it was garbage. But in the current meta everyone sits back and camps. DDs and Cruiser spec, for the most part, for range and dakka and so does the Harugumo. The biggest weakness is, that it can't open water gunboat so its best friend is smoke and this is where the LU comes in. Not only does the LU grant a +1 to all consumables (free SI, no need to spec into it for an additional smoke), it also turns the short duration IJN DD smoke pretty much into a US DD smoke. For a damage machine like the Harugumo, this is living the dream.

Co-op is only good for quick mission completion, like x amount of shell/torp hits or x amount of kills. For anything that is eco farming (XP, FXP, Credits, …) T9 is the sweet spot. Shooting higher tier ships net you more income in general, but T8 uptiered against TX can suck. T9 does pretty well against TX though. Also premium ships are your best bet, Friesland, Alaska, Jean Bart, Georgia are all good for farming. Out of them is Friesland the best, from my own experience, because you get to shred very often enemy DDs. Other than that, stack as many signals with bonuses as possible and of course a proper camo. The premium camo that comes with premium ships are often inferior for farming. The lower the tier the less base XP you get. Base XP is the base for everything else, so you want to stay away from anything below T8 for farming.

Exactly and his highest DD is a T8, Kagero and Cossack B. Both ships are very stealthy and nimble and vastly different from Harugumo. He has no idea about Harugumo first hand, doesn't know how it handles more like a Cruiser rather than a DD, yet he is discussing in a thread about this very ship and the role of a DD in high tiers. Yes, one can get some hints about how certain ships are played, but some ships have to be played to understand them - Harugumo is one of them, because as i already said, this thing is more like a clumsy cruiser and not comparable to the vast majority of other DDs in the game.
