If the offer is decent you might buy something even if you dont necessarily want or need it (thats how discounts work rather often actually). I "bought" (well i didnt since i didnt buy the doubloons in the first place) Anchorage too, even if its value is rather low for me since i already had >170 ships in port at that time. But getting a prem ship for 3500 dubs is still a decent deal, especially since its rather unique. To me HIizen is definetely in the category if "most people dont need it, but they might be willing to buy it because they only have to pay 10-20 bucks for it". And in the end, they still have to pay that money if they decide to get it regardless. You offer that ship for 63 € in the shop, and less people would be inclined to buy it. Ofc im speculating at this point, but seeing how WG is testing out how far they can go, i assume it might be more succesful to grind-sell T9 ships than to either make them be obtainable for 0€ (ingame resource) or 63€ from the shop. Im not even against that practice, if the grind would be more manageable. Buying Cossack was the only money i ever spent in this game, and it was the same style, just less grind and less money needed to buy it. Also 8k dubs for a boring T9 ship, when i can get a T8 ship in the armory for the same price using a coupon WITHOUT any grinding does strike me as questionable. Id buy Mainz or Bayard any day over Hizen. Depends on the object in question. I might not necessarily want to buy a car, but maybe i need that car for a living, so i dont have a choice. Buying a pixel ship is never a necessity.

I dont agree either. First of all, the monetary value is completely arbitrary set by WG. The value for a pixel ship is certainly not >60 bucks. 2nd, i dont gain money when i receive Yahagi for free. This would only be true, if someone would force me to buy it. If id want to buy Yahagi and can get it for free then yes, it would be a benefit. But if im not gonna buy it in the first place, its value is actually 0 to me. Same goes for Hizen, if i dont want to buy it, im not "gaining" 80% discount from the missions. In the end, i still have to spend 8k dubs, so i still lose money (unless i got those dubs playing for free). Its just a question how much money i lose, is it 4k, 8k or 50k () worth of money.

- Not every game has CVs in it, thus if there i no CV, an AA ship would close to be useless, IF we are talking about weak main battery/torps - A CV can just avoid those AA ships, and strike somewhere else. Planes are 5-6x faster than Cruisers, so its impossible for the Cruiser to be always at the same place the planes are - Those 2 points combined already would be a horrendously boring experience. And even in case of planes entering your AA you have to do... absolutely nothing, except reinforce your sector and activate DefAA. All in all, dedicated AA ships for the sole purpose of AA would be useless and boring at the same time. Come back when youve met a SU CV player on T8 or 10. Alltho i doubt you would realize it...

Souds good, half of the CVs would kill themselves 2 mins into the game Nice sideeffect

Soon its been 2 years... everything has been said by this time. If the majority of the playerbase spends like brainless zombies, we have no chance.

Chances of WG fixing CVs: 0% Chances of WG changing border mechanics: 0,1% Not to mention the hundreds of people/threads complaining about CVs aswell.

In CBs it can be exceedingly annoying tho. Also i wouldnt mind that those people get punished in randoms, who just hump the border for no reason.

So people hump the border because its fun to do it? Ofc not, they hump the border to get an advantage...

Does the spotting mechanic change requested by the entire community count?

Only when they are in the techtree? Dunno which are at this point tho... Good idea

Apparently they changed first 3 stage daily mission from baseXP to damage - thats good imo. Thats kinda the issue: This game became play for rewards, not play to have fun. If you feel like playing is not worth when you dont get nice rewards, then you are already inside a the trap.

I assume someone will (might?) check the log what was said between you and that other person. Or maybe it scans for certain insults first and then someone has a look. Otherwise people might abuse it ofc.

Way too complicated, just do this when you receive such a message in port:

For a 12 gun T9 BB it actually has best Sigma, Alsace has 1,6 and Pommern 1,5. And IJN dispersion vs french/german dispersion. Thats the only thing i see what Hizen has going for it: Better dispersion for its 12 guns compared to Alsace and Pommern. The first trumps with speed, the latter with armor, hydro and torps. So to me its flavour is rather boring.

Couldnt agree more Hizen is neither good nor special in any way (imo), so if you have many T9 BBs, why bother? I wont...

Actually was Telia (sonera)

Me neither.. btw was a Georgia (took the screen a tad too late, he was already dead for like 10 secs, so he barely got 3 mins) and no, he didnt detonate either.

Then dont let me do the work

Lately it seems, DD play has hit rock bottom... except ofc when i play DDs on my own, enemy DDs are just super smart. Yesterday had 2 Öland div (good clan) against me in Lightning. Well, managed to outplay those because they didnt dare to push me. But other game in Ognevoi, naturally i have to face Asashio (full concealment, because those without are always on my team) and a Cossack. Asashio even went [edited]in into the cap While i tried to battle those 2, my entire team evaporated

In the first game, i dont know if you realized it, but like 1 minute before you died, the Cap infront of you was contested. ALWAYS pay attention to something like this, as it indicates "there is a DD right infront of you" So if you are that close with a BB, get the hell away from it (or push it, but not in this specific scenario as there were way too many enemies). But dont sit still, then you will eat torps. Especially if the enemy is a Kamikaze. 2nd game dont hang back so much. Also dont reverse and use only your frontguns, you wont have much success with that when you only use 40% of your firepower. In general: - Dont shoot ships outside of your range, as in when you dont have lock-on. Yes it can be done, but if you have ships pushing your way, which you can shoot 5 secs later, its a wasted salvo as a BB. - Focus on shooting Cruisers. I think you often want to shoot BBs, but thats a losing tactic. Shoot DDs first, then Cruisers, and lastly BBs as a rule of thumb. Only when you know, you can deliver huge damage to a Cruiser (or even a BB) should you deviate from that rule. If you have trouble hitting Cruisers, try taking more lead and practice it. Also when you are fighting BBs, you have no issues swinging in and out to use all your guns between his salvos. Try to avoid shooting 1 turret at a time, you tend to get worse results. If a BB is angled, dont aim for his waterline at the belt, you will shatter or bounce. watch this, it might help. Maybe you are more comfortable with a dynamic crosshair. Starting T5, you can expect Cruisers to be moving 30+ kts. BBs tend to be at 20~25 kts till T6 (some exceptions like Kongo which is faster at 30kts). At T7+ most BBs tend to be close to 30kts or more. Again some exceptions like Colorado and the new US BBs like Kansas. - Try to avoid making faildivs like T4+5 - you will get thrown under the bus sooner or later. 3rd game - Dont switch targets all the time. It doesnt help to get a little bit of damage in on many ships. Try to focus on one target, usually the one which is overextended to kill i ASAP. - Dont bowtank and reverse with a Yorck. Even more so, when you can get farmed by enemy Cruisers. You are an easy target when you reverse. - If you dont get shot at, dont run too far behind your teammates. Slow down while stern towards the enemies. In case you get focused, its easier for you to disengage, opposed to when you are bow-on.

It definetely isnt, but it needs atleast 2 players to get interesting. If the enemies mindlessly rush into you, then it might not be much of a challenge. Yesterday in my Lightning game i had to play DD chess. Not much visible action, but a constant struggle to gain the upper hand. It was playing with and against RPF, torps, trying to outspot enemy DDs, holding the cap... while having almost no support.

The only russian DDs, that can use torps are the T8s and 9s and Grozovoi. And something like Kiev is no torpboat, but it can surprise some people.

I think 5 is not bad, as you tend to get T5 only matches without CVs at all occasionally. Or if they are T4, while not great, i think still better than seeing T6 and 8 CVs in a T6 ship. (i really dont like T6 )

You really need to take a few steps back here. Trying to learn the game at T8 or 9 will be a tremendous chore for you. T4-5 is the way to go here, your results are somewhat ok on that tier. Once you hit T6 or higher, it plummets (here your stats so you can have a look https://wows-numbers.com/de/player/561252520,DrunkenSheepV2/? ) And then post some replays here, preferably those were you didnt do well. So we can see what tips we need to give you. Its hard to guess what the biggest issues are here, id guess you might be rather passive since your survivability isnt that bad.
