@OP so the farming of helpless opponents at low tiers didnt continue at T8? Who would have though that, now you know why so many "cv entusiasts" tellling people to "adapt" seem to never get to high tiers no matter how many games in cvs they have in total...

Well on one side there is the T4 cv rape and folowing T6 cv abuse that triggers people off since you can hardly do crap about it, in high tiers you can at least put a dent in the reserves if you move in groups but in low tiers AA is so low it doesnt really matter much what you do and 2 cvs per match is pretty much every match down there... People regrinding the lines and new players of cv lines all of them... Yeah right... On the other hand, I was in a fight yesterday with my Shokak, I spoted, I did 120k damage, whole 10 min match our team killed 2 enemys and lost all but 3 ships or so, and those 2 kills were 2 enemy dds, both killed by me and I basically did all the damage to them as despite them beeing spotted directly or via fighters hardly anyone shot at them... The whole f team seems to have parked roughly broadside to the enemy and got themselves farmed...

Emmm, no?

that last one worked for me, I already used most of those above it when they were out so I cant say anything about them

No you cant, not like this anyhow, you still bleed speed way way faster then you gain boost at most if not all cvs and plane types, and here its not quite the case

I got myself the Smolensk, hence not so hot for Colbert, I will likely wait to see what will be the currency for Puerto Rico

IDK if you noticed it can to the "throttle tapping" routine as was done in ye olden days on all cvs so you can run them planes at nearly max speed pretty much all the time...

no

@OP Depends, what other T8 ships do you have and like?

Yes but the last time it was exactly the same and I dont even remember if i logged in for the first time after the patch at the patch day or only day after, besides if server is unavailable it kicks you out after like 30s or so and says so and this just keeps on "chewing"...

Ok this morning the hotfix applied, fair enough sound needed fixing, aaaaaaaaaand - game stuck at the login screen forever, btw same thing happened few days back with the original 0.8.8 patch, I mean come on how hard can it be to drop a line of code that actually tells you whats wrong and doesnt keep you looking like a moron into the loading screen for 10 fracking minutes, btw no my PC i not the issue i have a SSD and it loads everything nearly momentarily and enough RAM to run 3 instances of the game at the same time, and a quad core cpu, also this didnt happen in previous patches as far as i can remember and now twice, as if some indexing tables are beeing made or something and dont allow you to load the game without it...

@OP Dude your problem are not unicums that are farming the snowflakes, I took a look at your stats, your average-ish yes BUT you: 1) Got carried quite a lot to get to that T9 you are now at, and following from that: 2) Judging from the PR distribution through tiers your tier level is way above your skill level Its really a well meant observation, your stats are god at T4-5 levels, you should really consider revisiting them for like 2000 battles, then you will rock at T8-10 MM, yes you managed to pull like some 200-ish battles with an average PR in T8 and 9 combined but judging from the 600-800 you have below its a fluke, you are not ready for those ships...

Last time it was T7 i drove Sinop, this time its enough with the BS Belfast is coming to town

Yep, Iron Maiden

Well in all honesty that is actually how it should be (albeit it likely being a bug in this case) all the cash/gold ships are listed as "promotional" they should be treated same s the loot boxes - stay in shop for some set amount of time available for money, then drop out of the shop roster and after say 6 months or a year get into the Armory for gold/coal whatever as in game only purchases... That would actually be a PROMOTIONAL item then...

Speed is well quite fast actually it takes like IDK a second and a half or maybee two for them to hit

That good ser is worth an achievement

Ok here it goes, I will edit the post as I clear more... 100 November Echo Setteseven 7 Days Premium 50 Basilisk 1500 Steel 1000 Doubloons 50 Basilisk 100 Sierra Mike 50 000 Free XP USS Alabama + 10pt cap 50 Leviathan 50 Dragon 50 Valentine Camos 100 Zulu Hotel 50 Haloween Camos 50 Valentine Camos 1000 Doubloons 100 Zulu 50 Haloween Camos 100 zulu Hotel 50 000 Free XP 100 November Echo Setteseven 100 Juliet Charlie 15 000 Coal 100 November Echo Setteseven 15 000 Coal 15 000 Coal (this one got me smolensk) 50 Restless Fire 25 Ourorboros (This one is the directive crate so the last one for this week) 100 Zulu Hotel (Kleber crate) 100 india Delta (2nd objective sc) 30 days of premium (the Haku re-grind crate - the second I got for her)

@mtm78 You asked about the ark drop patern m8, bad news I m afraid, even with the worst angle basically 1/3hp gone...

19mm is plenty at T6

Hamsters got loose in the token storage and nibbeled on some and craped on the rest?

@mtm78 Didnt try it yet and hence cant say anouything about the drop pattern, but the tier of planes wont be an issue if the squads are big enough that much is certain, actually slower carpet bombers migh be even worse for those lower tier ships since when you hit the brakes and slow down even more you will likely just dump on everything below ripping it to pieces (audatios 3 plane sqad can decimate a dd or a cruiser with basically 0 effort needed for aiming them, it is a rng thing ofc) and I for one have a 19pt audatios commander for it...

Even if underwealming for all those that grew up on the "Sink the Bismarck!" and such this is one of the iconic ships to have in port, even if I use her exclusivly in ops she is still worth it to me

Lets hope its permanent

No, that is how the US naval 5" are, you make use of them at ranges they are ment to be used at and you will do fine, if you want long range gunboating ruskys await
