This, two weeks or so ago had a Solo warrior situation left alone against a pushing BB (monarch or alsace dont remember) and 3 cruisers, one cleveland that just went to cap b at two brothers and two of them in a thst just bagged our dd, i was parked behing that island northeast in E, was able to kill the cleve stopping it from caping and evade the bb for win...

Well US BBs might be split to a "sniper" and "shotgun" lines the former featuring fever and latter more main guns with added secondaries but bad dispersion and sigma at say T6 ie makiking new mex split off, continue with somw kind of new mex upgrade or something similar and then the Sodak at T8 but the question is what after that i guess move iowa and montana to "shotgun" side leaving the sniper side with some kind of Georgia and Ohio analogs? Meanwhile some Colorado A hull at T6, upgraded Colorado (as such) in T7 and T8 the Ncal... Without giving the ships clear distinct flavor would be bad i think... US could also field a DD split to a torp line and gun line starting somewhere at T5 or 6... RN should split in BBs (as such) and Battlecruisers, it can even happen at T3 and BC should be fast and manouverable (maybe even give them option to mount the rudder mod in slot 5) and to make them more interesting they could have AP only guns with short fuzes while the BB line all get normal AP and have their HE brought in line with the rest of lines... RM BBs are likely to inherit the SAP treatment, remains to be seen what they do with the DD line... Panasian could go with some kind of CL line even if there would be lots of clones there and the Paneuro is a "tabula rasa magna" that could field lots of ships with at least 2 dd lines (gun and torp) and 2 cruiser lines (light and heavy) splitting off maybe even at T3 only problem would be filling the BB line but its not an imperative to have one... As for Panamerican line, I dont know much about the possible ships there, guess most are US ships sold off as surplus and will hence be copy/paste thing but still it doesnt have to be bad if done properly (sensible "flavor") Edit: Just did some quick googling ans seems paneuro BB line might be doable with T3/4 beeing spain and/or austro hungary, T5 and T7 the duch designs and T8 the spanish Littorio clone the problem of T6 might be solved by a turkish design and T9/10 remains open as IDK if there are any post WW2 designs from any of smaller nationos

Massas thing was always - go in angeled and if possible press your guns on the enemy before firing them...

Im afraid this is a binary thing bro, either cv is op or gimped and either the cv driver is happy and all others miserable or vice versa

No we dont? Ok we did once upon a time but very long ago, nowadays the first stage pretty much always unlocks at the patch day runs for 5 days and then you have 7 days (usually) between steps and the last one ends (hall of fame closes) like a day or two before patch (Tuesdays I think?) but these current temp currency dates ate the Christmas patch dates (unless something pops up at the last moment) and the time to grind the PR is the Christmas patch as such...

Nope, you will then be reported for bringing the gimp in the match, if you are enough to do so in the first place that is...

Well SAP doesnt care abut distance it has set pen of 54mm (for the 8" guns) and thats that...

Yea I noticed same weird numbers yesterday, must be a bug of some kind...

I dont get what your angle is m8 but the temp currencies are usually around for one patch after they stopped being collected and that one patch only so you have time to spend them within that month, now since we are in fact collecting these right now they will be around for the Christmas patch and the Christmas patch only, IDK how directives will work out but the PR grind is time gated and not directive gated as far as I understand this concept so directives as such are irrelevant in this regard except as the source of the booster tokens...

Because out spotting half of the cruisers in your MM spread in a BB can be a very, well shall we say - interesting, feature...

Btw as for time available for grind... This would indicate the 0.8.11 goes live 12.12.2019 and lasts till 15.1.2020 or 5 full weeks so there is some extra time, IRC the same was true last year...

You forgot the Yoshino, Thunderer, Alaska and Friesland m8

I got the T8 one around 8-9 i think (cant remember), T9 one at last (was it 21?) and the T10 one at place 11

I did get them BUT the only way its likely you will get them in any kind of reasonable time frame - in coop and begging the rest of team not to get in the circle, its not the capping part as such its capping ALONE part that is the f* up, I d have easier time doing "collect 50 capped or assisted in cap ribbons" then "collect 5 capped ribbons" TBH

What I dont understand is how exactly you are supposed to "work towards" this camo as the solo capture stage is beyond retarded

Well it depends, you need something like 200 games to get to a T10 if you have plenty of camos and flags, however as a newcomer is not likely to have THAT many and is usally restricted to learning campaign prizes and similar sources I guess around 400 games for a line is more in line of realistic... So if you need 5 directives? and 2 of them are doable in ANY T10 means you need 3 lines or some 1200 battles

Well it will all depend of two things... 1. Does the directive stay open after it passes so you can circle back 2. Do you fall back behind with the PR build badly without those extra resources Because if the answer to first one is no and/or second one is is yes it pays off better to buy the Gorizia and take the gold as reparation when you get her through the directive... I am actually thinking in the lines of - buy Gorizia, take the doubloons and use them and the gold ship coupon to get something from armory

And if it fails i can give him a prescription for that...

Ok I got all ship types of all nations so i guess it wont be an issue, now seems we get Gorizia and Puerto Rico as final prize that aint bad at all

@OP Probably Jean Bart with full AA build, but then again 2 Midway DB runs and there wont be much left of that AA anyway...

Depends what kind of BB you want really, if you already have Tirpitz well Massatcussets - could be a good choice BUT its quite similar in play style (sec heavy) so does it make sense for you to buy it IDK... Roma -my fav T8 prem but she is not exactly noob friendly as her gunnery is well quite trollish for both the shooter and the target depending if RNGesus loves you at that moment or not... Alabama is sort of pointless nowadays, buying her has sense ONLY if you never intend to grind out the US BB line as N.Cal is better in nearly every aspect that matters, I have her as she dropped from a Santa crate and she can come handy for occasional T8 rank or similar but recommend it nowadays? IDK Kii - I have her as well and she is not a bad ship but again same as above - Amagi is a better ship to choose IMO, although the recent armor and torp buffs made Kii much more comfortable to play... Lenin - is a beast BUT doesnt forgive giving broadside, bow on in that ship is imperative, you give side and T6 will blow you away at 15km Vanguard - a fast RN BB, very user friendly in general and fun to play but also lacks any really special features Gascogne - this ship is a flanking beast, has a short reload RP that can be a life saver as well as engine booster so she can go places fast, with it on she is the fastest T8 prem BB (en par with the silver Richelieu) and one of the fastest BBs in game in general

I vote the border becomes a teleport to the opposing side of map so say 2 Klebers can warp to the CV and torp his right at the start
