Probably gonna go with Montana. I think, every TX ship has either been lucky or unlucky after i got them. GK/Monty/Wooster have been the bad ones Stalin/Smolensk/Salem were lucky ones Hindenburg/Mino dont recall anymore, too long ago.

Wouldnt use those special signals while playing T6 ships. The higher you go, the more XP you tend to get. T8+ should be where you are using them (maybe T7 Narai if you play that, since you can get >2k base XP there).

I guess WG saying they have mechanics in place to detect botting is proof enough that they exist? Just thinking that there would be no bots in a game like this is rather ignorant...

If you want to improve, you can keep track of your stats on this page f.e. https://wows-numbers.com/de/player/512612482,Blasted_Off/ Its a good way to see, how you are performing. Also, you can check how you perform compared to the rest of the playerbase. I think you should keep playing T3-5 for now. Try to improve your playstyle and get better results. The higher you go, the harder it is to learn, and you wont really gain much by just rushing to T10. Handing our general advice is too much i think. If you want to know specific stuff, you should ask directly. Or if you want to know how to play certain ships/lines, you can upload some replays so we can watch those and give you advice on what to do. Best is, just keep playing and improve basic skills. - Aiming - Not showing broadside to enemies which requires map awareness. - Set up your minimap (as large as possible and enable last known position/shipnames) - Use Premium consumables as much as you can if you have credits. Overall, you will get better results using premium consumables, so its not just losing money. - Try to identify mistakes you are doing. F.e. if you die too fast, why did it happen? Did you go too close? Did you make a bad turn? Then try to watch out for that in future games.

They wanted to do an alternative branch with Support CVs. But i dont think that will actually happen

They literally have the same armor

But the ship itself is rather "questionable" Id like to add to the list: - Russian BBs because obviously - Smolensk even more obvious - French DDs because >50 kts - Italian CAs because SAP

Like average player cares about WR Its not his fault anyway, its his teammates dragging him down!

Thats you assuming, you can reach every citadel the same way - which isnt true. Kremlin citadel has no protection above the waterline, while Richelieus Citadel is hidden under water in the center of the ship. Citadels are not a measurement of accuracy.

You think, majority of players can reach 2k base XP per game? Not to mention, 2k is out of reach on a loss. Average player is lucky if they get 800 / game considering wins/losses. And its not Unicums which will run bots for this event... Ive even done the math, bad players doing speed yolo suiciding gain more XP than if they would play properly. They are simply not good enough to get high base XP every game. They are better of killing themselves within 5 mins and get their 300-400 XP than play for 15 mins and get maybe 1k. Alltho ive seen people get 1k baseXP for literally doing nothing and dying in 3 mins, thats certainly interesting.... That must have something to do with how WG is calculating XP: The longer the game runs - the more base XP you get. If a game runs close to 20 mins, basicly everyone in the winning side seems to get 1000 XP. Imo you should rather calculate like this: Game might go for 15 mins, but bots often die within 3-5 id say. Bot leaves game, starts next one. It can probably do ~10 battles per hour without rest.

Ofc i expect people running bots. Probably a bit early, but once we get to those base XP missions - sure as hell...

But in the end, those 2 ships are played differently. Nagato further away, Gneisenau closer. If you play one like the other, they will struggle. Ofc Nagato will struggle more if you go too close to BBs which can hurt you, but playing Gneisenau as a Sniper is also useless. And by going closer, you open yourself up to getting punished easier, because covering your flanks gets harder. Yes, Nagato eats damage, but you can migitate that by not overextending. If you are stationary, then you are asking for it. Keep moving, angling always helps because you make yourself smaller and dont show broaside. Look at the UK BBs, QE/KGV/DOY. They dont have any armor either, and the latter 2 are even easier to citadel. They dont have range, and their caliber is crap (except QE). Nagato can deal with T8-9 CAs with 27mm armor - Gneisenau cant even do that. KGV/DOY cant even deal with 25mm plating.... Or US BBs NM/Colorado. They dont have any armor, except the citadel is protected. NM also small caliber, while Colorado has atleast Nagato size guns.

Easiest targets: DDs Followed by: Cruisers Somewhere down the road: BBs/CVs. I guess one might even put CVs infront of BBs, thanks to their healing ability and torpedo reduction. And if you cant citadel them with AP Bombs, then they are definetely harder to kill.

4 million credits is a piece of cake. try grinding several hundred thousand base XP - no flags in the world help you with that! Or how about a million FreeXP in 3 days or so

Yes, you can still fail even if you invest the 24k doubloons right away. You wont get PR, but you will get those other rewards along the way. Which they would probably tell you if you fail the PR grind.

I start to doubt that these are real players. I think someone saw a player with PR in Coop, and it had 140 games on the account. I dont believe this. Must be bot accounts from WG or someone else from WG running around with PRs to showcase this ship, so others will start to whale it aswell.

Stalingrad is much less fun in randoms than one would think, should consider that. I got Stalingrad first because its Stalingrad. And my other choice would have been Bourgogne. In my clan, every said Bourgogne is awesome, while most think Stalingrad is kinda meh (atleast if you look at the fun factor). In randoms, i dont really like playing Stalingrad. Everyone hates you, and they angle against you all the time. In CBs, it feels better. Ill get Bourgogne on 26th tho

If you arent specifically playing DDs (or not playing BBs) id pick Bourgogne. I dont think Black is less useful than before. Yeah, your team cant shoot right away, but you should be doing the most yourself with that Radar. if id pick a DD, would most likely be Somers.

How do you lose 22,50€? You got the ship. But you wanted the doubloons, which are worth 8,19€ to be precise. Whats worse? Not getting something which is worth 8,19€ or losing 22,50€ (since you cant play the Scharnhorst B) + the money from the other premium ships you have, which probably is like 100+€.

Yes, i looked at your account Not to mention it doesnt matter what i think/know. They know how many games you played. You have a few hightier premiums (which cost you money i assume). You rather lose that than 8,20€? (or whatever your currency is)

No, you played 3 games: 1 Random / 2 Coop. Its 1 game regardless of game mode.

Thats for those people, who already own the normal Scharnhorst, and get the Scharnhorst B from a Container. So you have the identical ship, but as little compensation, you get a mission for 2500 dubs. Btw, if you only play 1 game with a premium ship, they actually refund you. But you did 3 games with it. Where is the limit in your mind? I can play 1000 games with a premium ship and then ill be like "ah, i dont want it anymore, WG GIVE ME BACK MY MONEY" sorry, but there has to be a limit. Limit is 1 game. Banning your account is pretty standard procedure at that point. Btw, you are making trouble over 8,20€ you didnt get back... which you werent supposed anyway. Grow up, solve the issue and let it be.

There used to be T8 Operations, but as it seems, they probably wont return... Scharnhorst can be used in Narai, and it is really awesome there. T6 has more OPs tho.

While i normally agree, but i think this time its ok since he is playing Coop only. So i assume he will play the ship in Coop aswell.
