Ehm there is only a slight thing to note about those 2 other ships here: Burgogne is the most expensive steep ship in the game, going from the premise (bar some extremely dedicated steel hoarders wanting to get exactly her from minor drops they get over time) that you played some competitve to get that steel and fact that if you play competitive in the first place you likely fist went for the Grad means you are either regurarly playing (and winning) CB in a clan that regurarly reaches Storm or higer or you ranked out several times in a full season, both of which makes you, well shall we say being as far from a casual potato as its humanly possible to be... Ohio is a ship you get by regrinding (I know its possible to doubloon convert the elite xp to skip it but I am genuinley convinced few actually did that) a line from tier 1 to tier 10, at least 3 times (double bonuses) and likely (if you want it in a timely fashion) 5 times, regrinding 5 lines to T10 will also likely teach you a thing or two about gameplay even if you somehow missed it the first 5 times you ground them... What I mean these ships require true dedication and effort to get, far more then a single BB line and players driving them are probably able to play to their strengths...

Well I was and in fact am still considering the Silawangi, however what bugs me about pulling the trigger are two things... 1. Is the ship usable to get some extra stuff by playing it (missions extra loot boxes etc) and I dont mean the few directive tasks as the rewards as far as I see are miniscule 2. Is the ship in itself really worth it, it has Loyang hydro and Ognevoi hull with DWT meaning it will be underwhealming as a gunship and its basically the only DD vs DD weapon it has leawing the question what do you actually do to the.enemy DD once you catch him in the hydro, seems its primarily a team oriented dd idea but for randoms?

Becouse they have a thing called Ashashio in the game

Ahh when you just know someone will get the sack in the morning...

Just want to congratulate the sever maintenance team that managed to fix the servers, they are so well fixed that after I just got disconected (again) I wasnt able to login anymore even with ping going through, the server just does not let me in... Well done, top work, keep it up lads...

Lol you cant even select clan battles

Dude exposure to that much purified BS is bad for health...

Well I am a deputy department head of ICU and Anesthesia in a General hospital so alas I am all too familiar with the said credo, however after the application of the said and collection and compilation of some hard data to a financial spreadsheet format (only input the economists understand) it usually gets changed rather quickly as the cheaper option often if not always gets more expensive in the long run due to well shall we say "mishaps"

With all due respect to inter corporate relations and policies but maybe, just maybe its time for WG to consider some other company to host the EU servers because this is getting ridiculous...

I guess sending loads of angry mails to the Lux, alas they are likely all in the Pub downing their 3rd Stella by now so there is none to read them...

I am actually thinking about it as well

Naah guys, dont you know, its our crappy ISP-s that are at fault...

Well I guess BBs come in 2 basic flavors - tankers and flankers, soyuz being member of the former its credo is exactly what Bear wrote... Also since the 2 types are basically opposite in most aspects of play people liking one of those will most certainly hate the other moiety...

So what is your suggestion in fixing Smolensk then?

Only problem in your theory is that an angled BBs is basically immune to any non ovetmatchable AP (and SAP as witnessed by RM CA) after superstructure gets saturated and even saturating that is a problem with low dpm ships...

Well only if they would buff the win pot substantially

In all honesty all that Smolensk needs to have done to her is to have the range module for slot 6 disabled (same as khaba, also same should be done for some other ships such as kleber and ijn gunboats) deck armor cut down to 25-27mm and extra smoke and heal charge given as compensation

While I can sympathise with the notion of irritating spam what you are suggesting would essentially make BBs counterable only by other BBs and we really, like really dont need that in the.game...

Nope, as the random is the principal game mode WG wants us to play as it doesnt need extra "server ticks" and work PvE modes require (bot AI for ehatever it is and scripting for ops) making nearly half of random matches yield nought would mean the end of them, we would all just farm PvE endlessly and play CB/Ranked (assuming the rewards they stay same) and not even look at randoms...

@genosse I seriously doubt they will ever nerf any of the T10 steel monsters selectively, oh they might do some "systemic change" such as it was done with burn duration or CE changes but they need people to want those things so they play the competitive mods and nerfing them randomly will hardly achieve that...

Ahh yes, the interesting thing is - I dont know anyone that got one of those for ages, last one I got was last Christmas (2018)

Honestly IDR how much notice they gave for individual reward ships that were removed, i think it was something in the line of 6 or so months for Missouri and 3-4 for the Musashi and Kronstat, however some doubloon/premium shop premiums went away over night...

Yep, only solution use french or georgia and steam off so fast they cant possibly follow...

Lool... M8 mark my words - WG knows very well why they left the dockyard with unfinished PRs in them with a buyout option available to thousands of players that built enough of it to reach the buyout phase but not finish by playing the directives throughout the entire patch that will run a T10 CB season in it...
