3rd directive completed?

French DDs are not beginner friendly, they have a high skill ceiling. Good players were most likely overperforming, while bad players were underperfoming. That happens when you create ships like these...

Marceau got the same treatment as Kleber + extra nerfs

Makes it even worse?

Radar got replaced by DefAA on techtree EU DDs. Ofc TX Premium gets to keep it

Good Friesland game to end the day

I rather use BB captains on my BCs, for the reason you mentioned: They burn 60 secs. For Alaska, i use Halsey which is Montana/premium BB captain. On Kron/Stalin, i use russian BB captain Dont have either Azuma/Yoshino.

DM also has quite slow shells. Someone posted a table with shell speed from T10 Cruisers at different ranges before... cant find it. But DM is definetely n the bottom half there.

Then i think you also get 22,500 for automatic exchange https://worldofwarships.eu/en/news/game-updates/italian-cruisers-part-2/

Which tokens?

5000 Random battle milestone Marblehead was only game 4999, but boy was that a weird one. Basicly 3 mins in, i was already dead with <8k health and 19k damage dealt. Just kept going And we had 2 DDs yolo suicide by that time, and a pink/AFK Dunkerque who shot our division a few times Apparently, shooting your teammates gives XP - interesting Game 5000 was this Not bad damage, sadly no kills tho. And fires where are thou? But still 14 winstreak with Murmansk going

Well, veslingrs initial statement is pretty much common sense tho, nothing to do with the game. New players cant be a problem, we need new players because old ones will always quit at some point. But people with 10k games played and have never learned anything - thats a HUGE problem.

Could tie earning credits to teamplay mechanics instead of damage dealt (or less for damage dealing, but more for spotting f.e.) Ofc this brings problems with it, because sometimes your team seems to be incapable of dealing damage upon your spotting, and sometimes you dont even have to spot because of how the game unfolds. But we might get rid of those DD players that dont give a f, because they will be broke

Well, you cant really ignore planes if they go for you. But you have 2 options: Take punishment from CV or take punishment showing broadside. Not to mention, Planes move like 6 times faster than ships... Fixing CV spotting is easy - fixing DD spotting is not. But thats the only way to reduce DD influence. They are already worst damage dealers, you could strip them of all armaments, and he would still be able to spot you. So you wanna push into the enemy fleet while being permaspotted? See, thats the issue. Without those, good DD players could literally do whatever they want. They get rid of the enemy DDs first, and then its GG. Ive seen DD players die to getting proxy spotted by a BB SEVERAL TIMES (more than i can count for sure). So regardless of amount of counters, those DD players will always fail. They fail to the easiest step to overcome: Getting spotted by something you see ~8km before it can see you. And why does that happen? Because they dont give a crap about how they play.

That would require WG to understand importance of spotting - which i think they dont understand till this day (or they dont care). Its the same for CVs. A CV torping me in my Cruiser is not that big of a threat - him spotting me all the time is the problem, which WG never understood. I dont think there is an easy fix for that anyway...

Thats not exclusive to Smolensk, i have that with every ship these days. Also id like to add: Torps not being rendered is also a thing...

Also, Hall of fame is active from 7th - 14th.

Doesnt mean i agree with it tho, but i can see why WG is doing it. Id rather we dont have powercreep ofc, so the need to buff old ships wouldnt exist (or atleast less than it is now)

DM/Salem have 27mm armor all around. Hindenburg 27mm bow. And also all german/US T8-9 Cruiser also 27mm all around. All other T8-9 Cruisers 25mm plating, and remaining T10 Cruisers 25mm bow (except the UK CLs, which have 16mm plating). IFHE smolensk gets both thresholds, not only 27mm. With IFHE, you want to kill Cruisers. Without, you burn BBs. I think, IFHE Smolensk has more game impact because it can get rid of enemy Cruisers, which are more important to kill than BBs. Easily 1/3 of that is Firedamage, which is more or less useful. Other Cruisers get less fire damage, so its not really the same thing. Like Conqueror having more avg damage than other BBs, doesnt mean its as useful. Thats pretty much wrong. Also, BBs that will struggle with AP citadelling you, can do that with HE

Yamato has the best AP in the game, so it probably is amongst the top 3 in effective damage. That includes, playing her well enough to get the most out of it. AP Citadel damage is the best damage in the game, as it is hardest to repair (well, so is Citadel HE damage, but that can only be applied to a few ships by a few ships). It might not get the highest damage numbers, because that is reserved to HE spammers, but HE includes fire damage which has less value than AP damage. https://wows-numbers.com/de/ship/4179572176,Kremlin/?order=average_damage_dealt__desc#leaderboard https://wows-numbers.com/de/ship/4276041424,Yamato/?order=average_damage_dealt__desc#leaderboard Sorted by average damage, Yamato is not worse than Kremlin, arguably even better.

No, not really. You get 5x1 day premium for sub-stages, and "main"prize is Santas Big gift, which cost 750 dubs on its own. So you can easily do the math if its "worth" it to buy those containers to finish it. (Or just buy a big gift if you feel like it)

Battle numbers for TX BBs. What does that say? more people have Yamato than any other BB. 5% of 100.000 are many more players than 5% of 10.000 (just an example, not actual numbers). But thats why, even looking at top 5% players is just useless. Like top 5% Bourgogne players are a handful, the best of the best, since Bourgogne is already owned by mostly very good players. And from them, you look at the best 5%... doesnt work that way.

How can it be trolling if same ship (slightly worse even) is my best performing BB? Actually, Bourgogne has more damage, but i only played it twice so i wont consider it yet. but it has potential to achieve higher damage numbers. It can be, that the yamato is not for you. Doesnt make it the worst BB tho. And you cant even compare other TX BBs, since you only have the Yamato !?

Yeah, worst BB in the game Considering, Musashi is a weaker Yamato...
