I like it...

@OP In general I would say save steel, HOWEVER I suggest you get Thunderer before she is removed, she is a surprisingly flexible ship and quite accurate guns for a BB

Marceau

The modified QE class project for the HMCS Canada - 5x2 15" guns, probs a T7 although with some "fantasy refits" might even make it to T8 (bear in mind this is a commonwealth ship so not in RN tree) Another one would be (the original HMS Agincourt I think ?) plan of modified QE design making her essentially a battle cruiser thing meaning - less armor and more speed with same guns...

He does have a point though, yesterday I played a ranked game in Somers (one of several) and I went on the lateral outlying cap, fought the DD there supported by a cruiser against enemy DD, BB and a Cruiser, we won and low and behold while we won the 2 vs 3 and took the cap which took like 7-8 minutes almost the entire rest of the team died at the other side and it was game over...

m8 I didnt realise it was you, my bad...

As I said IMHO none at this time, now as to why... Ohio - has largely lost its allure of US super heavy 18" guns now that we have Vermont for free, yes she has secs and a bit more speed but it remains to be seen how much of that actually survives the rework and while better then average US BB survival wise due to fast heal she is still far to sensitive for true brawl to the max situation and she is vulnerable to spam from many CAs, might be still worth it after rework with the new skills and might not but I wouldnt buy her now if I didnt already have her... Colbert - since the AFT is going away she will have to be played either with the range module or danger close, either way it will be much more difficult to perform the same feat you can get with much less fuss in a Wooster or even Nevsky, besides Austin might be coming soon as well and she will likely end up much more versatile and prob even stronger with MBRB and SAP, Colbert is just not worth buying now IMHO Paolo Emilio - while kinda unique and gimmicky as she stands she is not really something all that practical for anything more then some casual and occasional fun, her concealment is poor for spotting, short torp range and slow gun reload make her a poor in attack as well, she is a one trick pony - yolo, you either yolo or you end up largely useless esp if you are the only DD as pretty much every other DD is better at doing DD stuff Siegfried - while an excellent T9 supercruiser in her own right skill rework if it goes live as it stands is hitting the supercruisers hard, buying any of them at this time is not a good investment and its double the truth for the brawl and secondary oriented Siegfried... Slava - while she is admittedly a strong pick for sniping and will likely get even stronger with the skill rework making her a possible first and only choice actually worth it if one likes the sniping game I wouldnt spend my points on her just now, not until I see how the skills work out IRL, besides not like a Yamato, Monty or Republic will become bad at sniping of all of the sudden, not to mention Vermont... Additionally some new ships are likely to come in the RB soon if I am not mistaken, now which ones remains to be seen but I would bet on that German CV (Immelman?) for instance and Austin making it there (she might end up Coal as well though) as well as some other stuff we might not have seen yet (RM T9 BB for instance)

None, wait for cap rework and new additions that will come in few weeks/months

@OP My advice is this... First a side not - you can play a bit of Ops to get a feel for handling of a T6/7 ship you intend to use for learning (I suggest T7) practice some angling (it can be done in ops to a degree) as well as precision aiming to take out targets (ie how to devstrike a broadsiding enemy or punish a bowtanker by overmatch) then you can go back to randoms and start there... Now Ncal prob isnt the best option to learn play due to the MM issues although she isnt a bad ship as such, I would suggest you grind IJN BBs by using basic camos and no flags (ok you can use money gain flags) up to the Nagato and then stay with her for a while say maybe 2-300 games in her or so, she is kinda the prototype BB, then you should grind the Russian cruiser line up to Schors and for DDs you might want to grind RN line up to the Jervis and do the same there, yes the T7 gets shafted by the T9 MM quite a lot but still its not really different then T6/8 situation... After that is done you can decide which class you want to further first, in said class you should either continue the line you started or grind some other nation up to the T10 (dont use free XP unless its to unlock the upgraded modules on the ship) and then repeat with cruisers and DDs, after you have at least 3 T10s you can go up the CV line, german is as good as any only you will stay at T8 for longer instead of T7 as there is no T7 cv, after all this is done you should sit at about 3k matches or so and you can take it from there...

Its meant to make you play all the time, luckily most of the prizes can be had by just having some wins and not ranking out so you can do it at a more relaxed pace and just stay at the league you like best...

We have enough lines in low tiers, might have few more that end mid tier or so but its doubtful WG will invest their man hours in that, we need ops and missions for low tiers and T4 cvs need to go, just start the cv stuff at T6...

I just bounced a full salvo from a Georgia in her?

They prob arent, that said I did get myself the Kuznetsov after all because the reworked skills make my Znamensky brothers pretty much useless and the perks and not improved skills are the important part now anyway...

Ok, I ll bite - why would you give a F* about all that?

I am going with Hindi

Germans are ok, Hindi and Roon are ok as keepers, if you want some silver ships lower you can get a T7 or 8 ship quite quickly, now of those... T4 - french dugay truin and ijn kuma T5 - ijn furutaka and konigsberg T6 - german nurn is not a bad ship, leander and la galusoniere are even better, pepsi is ok if you are carefoul T7 - ijn myoko and rn fiji are excellent, surrey is ok as well as new orleans T8 - balti is excellent as well as chapa and tallin in respective roles Also Drake in T9 is magnificent

I have better part of a year remaining, not buying prem time, i dont even remember when i last bought some directly...

Basic problem is that there are loads of utter potatoes that need to be carried by their teams but they are convinced they are good and basically the most important member of team that should have the right to order everybody around...

Well they could add weather front that appears in say 50% of battles and slowly moves across the map making cv planes spot at 3 km range and take atrition damage of say 1% of squad hp per second...

So I noticed now there is only 100 steel for 3 and 6 wins in Bronze respectively and the final 100/200/1000 for R1 Now question for guys that are in Silver - what do you get for the wins at which numbers and did you get the bronze prize upon the first win in Silver?

I suspect Kuznetzov I got today will be schooled on Gremyashi...

Thats why I asked the guys in silver, did they get anything as bronze compensation or not...

M8 all good suggestions, now I would interest you in an experiment, make your stats hidden for couple of weeks and play your normal flanking positions and tell me what you observe about the CV pestering you...

@OP Play T8 cruisers what have heal or smoke, or both

Well if they put the bronze rewards like that then I will qualify higher, I got 2 stars in qualifiers easy enough...
