Not sure if it makes that much of a difference, just been looking through old Maplesyrup data, and compared PA DDs to French DDs PA DDs upon first week release French DDs upon release after early access (9 early access, TX not available) Less lowtier, but higher concentration at T5-T7

For some reason, map names in WOWs are not intuitive and are only shown briefly (and then im busy watching team setups). I have a hard time remembering them aswell.

Serious question tho

Unless i dont get a ship, which makes me feel worse compared to not having an event at all? I wonder if people, who are unlucky with the free bundles are more inclined to spend money on the Doubloon bundles? FOMO is stronk in WoWs Not objecting, that WG needs to make money. Just think its getting rediculous, and they still get away with it. Aslong as people are spending money, WG will continue their road of money milking.

If @Captain_Newman s answer doesnt count, i drew it onto your minimap What does orientation mean? the direction, the ship is heading?

For some reason, cant quote your other post (or even mark anything there), so i quoted the other instead. Sure, i didnt say Hindenburg is bad. But saying, Hindenburg is a spammer ship with a base reload (doesnt help looking at buffed stats and compare them to stock stats from other ships, otherwise i could say, but Smolensk actually has 3,5 sec reload with reload mod and BFT) of 9,8 sec is questionable at best. And the other stuff doesnt change the fact, that Zao has better dispersion and more firechance (which is 19% stock) and doesnt "need" IFHE. Hindenburg with IFHE has more alpha vs certain ships, but less alpha against everything which Zao can pen aswell. Espcially against DDs, Zaos higher alpha + better dispersion will give better results. But comparing 2 ships doesnt make that much sensereally, we could keep adding stuff (concealment, torps, range) which gets us no where

I think it would be better not to have constant events/directives going on. From a gameplay perspective, there is no reason to have early access ships. Its an offer, so they can sell them at the same time. Without the possibility to get them 4 free, people would say its money making, and without early access, WG couldnt cash in on techtree ships. So for me, this whole event (as have been all the new techtree releases last year) is nothing but yet another cash grab + some little rewards, which i dont need anyway. The last event i really liked, was when Kuznetsov was available. I didnt want to go full in, so i got the Murmansk as a consolation prize. I liked that. But most other events are: Go full in (aka play every day), or get nothing special.

If the token bundle would be limited to 600/20 = 30 bundles (since 600 tokens is the maximum you can earn), you would get all 4 ships guaranteed, if you collect all of them. If it would be limited, but wouldnt contain all 4 ships for everyone, then people would feel cheated compared to those, who have all 4 ships. And righftully so. Either way, there would be no incentive to spend doubloons on the other bundles. So you answered your own question basicly.

Im not 100% sure, but i think, sector reinforcement spawns more tracers, and DefAA makes them red (which is pretty hard to see imo). For some reason, i can see it better in OPs when i play a CV there.

BBs dont really need the PM, but its good for DDs. On the other hand, Yamato desperately needs turret traverse, so EM is really nice there.

Basicly every ship works for Yamamoto. Just put it on the class which you play/enjoy the most.

DDs that i encounter while playing CV? Yeah 90-95%... that have their AA OFF! and 50% of those use sector after i pass over them to spot, then press P again to go dark when i turn around (unless i popped a fighter). For DDs on my team? Yeah, 90-95% seems correct

Well, maybe those ships get released tomorrow - who knows. Not that you need to that mission anyway (and the reward is nothing to speak of either)

Thats a horrible way of arguementing. 2 CVs might be more balanced, if its not Unicum vs Potato CV (leaving out, that it might aswell be 2 unicums vs 2 potatoes). Sure, might be. But the issue with CVs, especially if they grow in numbers is, that its getting less fun for surface ships to play. So while 4 CVs might make it more balanced in terms of game impact, it makes it also less fun to play overall, since there are more planes spotting and harrassing you. Even if a bad CV player might not be able to attack you, he is still spotting you for his teammates, adding other problems to it.

I totaly dont deny that. I can see how horrible it must be for new players in lowtiers, getting clubbed by experienced players who do nothing all day long but play T4 CVs (or Hosho to be precise). You could even say, its intended by WG to force people into hightiers (atleast those that dont quit the game right away). Which is a source of income for WG... somehow. Its basicly destroying the game

Thats basicly the mentality of every 40% player in the game: Play TX all day long. And thats, what makes it an absolute horrible experience. You think, they play differently in their Yamato than they would in their Tirpitz? hell no, they play even WORSE. Yamato 30km range? Yep, they WILL use it, sitting at the mapborder because they can. TX is even less enjoyable than playing midtiers with constant CV harassment. Atleast most players are somewhat playing the game down there, and not camping simulator on at an island...

this when? Everyone likes it

Benham: 16 torps Kleber: Reload booster Mino: 3,2 sec reload Wooster: 4,6 sec reload Smolensk: 4,5 sec reload Colbert: 3,5 sec reload Harugumo: 3 sec reload Kitakaze: 3 sec reload Mogador: Reload booster Hindenburg: 9,8 sec reload So Hindenburg always was a spammer ship (before the nerf), because thats its old reload +0,2 sec.... Hindenburg now has barely more HE dpm than Zao btw. With worse dispersion and lower fire chance, but more pen ofc. On steamrolls, i agree with you

There was a base shipbuilding rate of 125 (?) per minute, thats why he got to stage 2 doing nothing. And you still got more rewards than he got...

Balti and Buffalo have the same traverse speed? Well, unless you use reload mod, then Buffalo is 3,5 sec slower per 180 degrees.

Imo 5 days between Directives has been the usual interval. Only for the PR directives was it 4 days.

Sadly not, as SAP has fixed pen of 54mm afaik on T6. Thats why it either works at any range, or it doesnt work at all. There is no middle ground for SAP (same as HE, but for HE they had to make it so it can deal damage)

Which is funny, since Monty has one of the worst pens of TX BBs. It beats Bourgogne and 406 GK, basicly all others have better pen. Even Conqueror has better pen past 8km.

Does it really matter? AP has basicly the same damage as SAP. And it basicly can deal damage at any range too. If for some reason, the 203mm would be so bad that it either couldnt deal damage, or would deal much less damage than SAP, i could understand the outcry. But the way it is now, it shouldnt be a problem. OPs are always the same. Forts are always at the same place. Especially in KW, you have to shoot forts right from the start, just load AP...?

These days, i dont feel much difference at all. Alltho worst times are usually 17-22 CET regardless of tier. And weekends And especially patchweekends ...And patchdays....
