You just gave me an idea, what if we sail out in triple full AA Orion divisions? I am sure most of us have spare 19pt cap somwhere to dedicate to the Orion and spread some so much needed love in T4 (and club seals while at it ofc)

Dude, while I agree that initial stats of the alternate KM DD line lookes iffy an they are still looking meh-ish as they stand we need to wait ans see what they end up looking like before condeming them...

On the other hand 1v1 is "how many games in Tirpitz can u stomach before puking" mode...

Lets wait for ARP Musashi?

Actually Sims has an XP modifier as a premium AND a base XP modifier as well

That bug is there for a while, sometimes nomogram just doesnt work restarting the game and/or turning the mod on and off usually helps, that said the normal dynamic crosshair is ok for aiming albeit a bit slower...

Borodino is still somewhere out there as well...

No, you actually cant the skills are set up in a wrong way for a real tank build, they should have made ALL major surv skills 3 or 4 pt and make them in a way that they actually provide a bonus when you build for them, having one exra cinsumable and 10% longer duration is usless in most cases as you will still burn or be pummeled to death, the way to go was to have skills cut the cooldown if the RP/DCP in half for say 4 pt (with some tradeoff say accuracy debuff or whatnot) this way most of the skills is token and meaningless, usual WG skill design...

The sadest thing is that while one might understand and applaude the "national flavour" concept and relative historical accuraccy of the fact RM ships of WW2 era had some issues with accuracy/conaistency it seems WG completely failed to understand WHY it was the case and just slapped it on as a "flavour" on the entire line instead of noting which ships actually had the issue and why, same thing is with the US standard BBs for instance that were notoriusly inconsistent with hitting untill USN finally figured out why that was the case and rectified it...

I vote for some harder stuff being in play...

Dude ranked was always a garb*ge mode and rework brought us the win x times for awards, now most people just farm the majority of the steel that is in the win bonuses and leave for their sanity, after that mostly only the utter potato farm remains there and few tryhards that go insane over it...

The good thing is the event utterly cured me from the "spend on WG" bug once and for all

True BUT those have other design aspects that make the RU bias less obvious unlike slapping something thats basically an Iowa at T7...

Well that kinda tend to happen when one puts a T9 BB in a T7 slot... I mean the (other) big gun BBs in T6-T7 are balanced by overmatchable plate so they can punish each other aaaand then along comes the Mother Russia and her armor sheme...I mean lets be honest here for most practical aspects of the design Sinop=Vladivostok=Soyuz and it shows... Oh and the " But, but its WW-ish design so its T7" is nonsense as KGV is at the same teier, also where is my Tillman 4-2 then?

Well tbh for some ships I dont intend playing thats exactly what I do, or more to the point I dont even buy the modules esp in higer tiers, dont know where the pasta fleet will be quite yet or more 2 the point if I ll play them or not...

Good point, alas they all existed at least to the level of being launched so for me it means keeping them as I decided to collect ships that were built or at least launched, still some exces modules are there as well...

Ditto

Oh I agree with you about the quality of play and the learning experience IMO CB should have been only techtree ships and max of 2 of the same unit per team from the getgo but they werent, ok i guess better late then never we might arrive there yet...

1. Alaska is allowed but we both know how that works out IRL - she is a meta ship and many that were on edge of getting her for money or not before she is gone might have been persuaded by the perspective of using her in the T9 CB or their clan mates to get her now are sitting there like well... 2. You may think of it like that, I see it as a marketing push, a typical one at that Its even worse as WG themselves NEVER before actually excluded the premiums, ffs there were community tournaments that got slapped for doing that and there we go WG all of the sudden realised some prems were an issue... IMHO its a disgusting business move and an ample indication where the game is heading to... Let me be clear about few things here - I am not salty for any personal reason, got both of those long ago and barely play them anyway as I dont really like them that much AND I wouldnt have batted an eyelash if WG said a month or so back - "Ok we are banning ALL premiums from the CB to keep it level and allow only one ship of each unit in the team because we want to diversify it" or even "We are banning ships xyz because thy are bad for the game" and added a list of said ships, but this that they did... I mean we are mostly experienced players here most of us knew which ships are likely to get the chop when the entire vague excluding and limiting news got out but for many that are not it wasnt so clear at all and I cannot condone this kind of thing easily... Yea clearly... Maybe they should play it better then... This was day or two after the rework hit with a 19pt Halsey sec spec...

Ok I give up... I mean if you people think what the fact they heavily pushed the sales of Georgia and Alaska right after it was cemented that that the next CB season is T9 esp with "ITS YOUR LAST CHANCE TO GET IT" and right BEFORE they excluded them from the said CB is a proper thing to do in any line of business I am really lost for words here... Oh and lets not forget, they casually slap in the Brawl, one mode in which Massa that "just happened to be" in the same Mega-Bundle with the said two excels at, well lets say I would REALLY like to know how much WG marketing dept raked in on this deal...

So what you are saying is basically say I am state run dealership and sell you a Mazda and then next week there is a traffic law put in place that states "All Japanese cars are banned from driving on all motorways and in cities" you would say "Hey its ok, i can still drive it on the B-roads and on a racing track"? Riiiht... There is no way to spin this other then what it is, I agree that Musashi is an issue BUT there is no way around the fact the Georgia and Alaska WERE and ARE a setup, period...

Sooo - vodka?

Well I just got the Mug-a-dor back should I need it BUT I keep my Benham handy as well...

Ban me from what? Game? Forum? Hardly as I didnt break rules of conduct and since I am not a CC or affiliated to WG in any way they cant kick me from that...

Yeah I bet 1xMogador and 2xTaskent with IFHE will have loads of issues wiping the floor with the wimpy T9 tecktree cruisers...
