It's german that alone will generate enough sales.

Id go one step further: WG is causing that toxicity on their own. Letting people play randoms by just buying a T9 premium? What could possibly go wrong. Not banning obvious bots? Nah, those bots buy premium something, better not ban them. Not banning people who are obviously just griefing and trolling their own team... and then we have CVs, the griefer-class.

Lets forget that he has 65% WR in his FDR. Looking at his drop attempts on the Henri, do you think they look like its a Unicum attacking him? Compare that to his drops on the stationary Thunderer in the beginning. I dont want to speculate what you need to do to get 65% WR in a TX CV on NA server, because neither have i ever played TX CVs, nor do i play on NA server. - his TB run on the Henri into his broadside was a miserable failure. He was turning in and slowing down, but the CV did absolutely nothing to get a better drop of. He just dropped as if the Henri wouldnt have dodged at all, missing all but one torp - attempting to get behind the Henri with his DBs, then just giving up because he is incapable of getting into the correct attack position in the first place. Even a bad player would have attempted to attack, and even if its a bad drop, he could have still dealt damage to him. The CVs option was "i dont attack at all". Ive scored citadels and received citadels on DB drops coming in from the broadside... Its not perfect, but still better than flying circles and never striking. - He can get drops on stationary BBs, as we see on the Thunderer which he attacks a few times, removing like what 60% of his health? Easiest drops in the world, if thats good enough to get 160k avg damage and 65% WR - then so be it. But that doesnt mean the CV is a unicum then.

And how long is the DD supposed to stay visible?

If thats what it takes to become Unicum CV on NA, i bet half our CV players would be unicums. Ive seen better drops from 40% EU CV players than that guy NA must be some kinda shithole, every NA vid i see, its complete potato madness. EU Server is like unicum heaven compared to that. Cruisers casually sitting <8km ahead of BBs, BBs shoot BB somewhere else --> Cruisers OP?! Maybe that FDR guy is only to be able to attack stationary BBs in spawn (like the Thunderer), good for him if thats getting him 65% WR... doesnt mean he is actually good.

99% of the playerbase would have probably yoloed in this game because " MM RIGGED; LOSS WAS SCRPITED FROM THE START!!!111" 4 Mins into the game Less than 3 minutes later, we lost 4 ships. DM just yoloed (well he was already completely overextended in the screenshot above. Kleber just waited for the inevitable, Smolensk sat too long in smoke, once smoke was over *Blapp*. No idea how the Stalingrad could die over there 10 minutes into the game, we are basicly completely pushed into the corner. Enemies make a crucial mistake here, by splitting up. Gearing overextends and gets killed, Mino and Petro go broadside into B. GK also overextends 15 minutes in, now the enemy CV managed to overextend after we almost killed everything else. ofc our Daring suicided at C into the Yamato. We are also heavily behind on points, because enemies hold more caps than we did, so we get all caps, enemy Hinden suicides, FDR and PR die at A. Yamato and Venezia just hide to survive, CV kills them both eventually. There was 1 other good player on our team - the Plymouth, who managed to stay alive and deal damage on his flank. Meanwhile, we had like 5 ships who just died for nothing. And it still wasnt lost, it was possible to get back on track and turn the game. The problem is, good players need time to turn a game. But if more people decide to suicide because "ItS LoSt" then they are creating a self-fulfilling prophecy, which they caused themselves by suiciding. (in case someone claims that it was a loss)

As @ColonelPete says, its the meta/maps fault, that secondary ships dont work. Buffing them would make them OP, especially if we are talking about such buffs, that you could just yolo in and kill every ship. Im playing secondary ships in ranked, and it feels pretty useful to me. The difference is, in ranked you dont need more tanking skills, but you do need them in randoms. So if i go full secondaries in ranked, i hardly lose anything. I can work without CE, extra heal is basicly useless in small gamemodes because i hope to kill the enemies way before that, deadeye is completely useless... only need FP really, if you face HE spammers, and that i can get despite taking secondary skills. So i take more range, manual sec and CQC. CQC buffs my mainbattery reload, which gives me more offensive power than any other skill id take on a tank-build. The only downside i see is, that taking the secondary module in 3rd slot prohibits you from taking ASM1. And you want to have more secondary range. US BBs dont have a problem with that, because they dont have ASM1. But germans have to make a compromise. Thats basicly the only thing where id say, WG could help out german BBs so they get their own module much like US BBs have Artillery Plotting room 2 in 6th slot. Secondary Pommern Killed the DD for me, half with guns, other half did my secondaries. Seems fine to me? Secondary Georgia

Nothing wrong with Benson. Fletcher is also quite good in ranked. Compared to Lightning, Benson is faster (and has speedboost), higher DPM, more nimble but slightly worse concealment. Torps have slightly more range, which is good imo, but are a bit slower.

Lappland was Smaland-type testship with different stats IIRC, so it probably wont get released ever. We also have Brennus (test henri) and giunio bruto (test GC on T6), which didnt serve any other purpose.

Well they could differentiate them and make a maximum of 1 per battle. Example if there is an Alaska and Stalingrad in one battle, one team cant get both.

And thats why the game is in a crap state, because the 2 easy mode classes are also very strong, namely BBs and CVs. You dont need any brain at all to get 100k with BBs, just sit back and farm HE on other BBs... you will lose a lot, but who cares? 100k damage, probably decent XP on top of that, never be in any danger. CVs are the same, except you actually need a little bit brain to deal damage. But you are still 90% safe by just sailing behind an islands. Cruisers should be the most played class, then the game would be in a much better state. We played a very intense game couple of days ago with CV/2BB/6Cruiser/3DD, and it was close till the end. We were basicly losing, because several of our teammates just suicided, but we managed to pull back from it. Contrary to the CV/5BB/1-2Cruiser/3-4 DD games, which can end in 5-8 minutes, because all DDs died, Cruisers have no chance to fight off the enemy DDs and if you are lucky 3 of your BBs also suicided. Losing a couple of Cruisers, especially when having 6 isnt a big deal, you can recover from that, as we did in our game. But even losing 3 BBs early on can mean, its an inevitable loss when the enemies just push ahead on all flanks (same as all BBs humping each other in one place).

Why does my teammates always attempt to stop me from having fun with my secondary builds? I was at 10km from the Amagi, and my NC just kept pushing and shoving from behind while i was trying to stay angled... cant have that. Ofc with him showing broadside and permanently bumping into me, every shell just hit me Still, the Amagi melted quite nicely to my Secondaries Its also funny, how my IFHE-secondaries start more fires than my non-IFHE Cruiser guns... insane. Yesterday i had a 3-4% firechance with Donskoi in CBs, and my firechance is supposed to be 15% Meanwhile, my Pommern secondaries have like 3,5-5% firechance, and i get 3% which is to be expected.

That would have needed a "sad"-reaction, but sadly there is none *Sad Cruiser noises*

Would it be nice to be able to use it? Yes ofc, thats not a difficult answer. But im not even considering that WG would give us something for free, if they have been charging money for it the past years. I have no idea how much money WG is making with FreeXP conversion, but they probably get some money out of it.

ofc, i basicly meant a very good CV player could probably go home with a very high WR, because he depends less on RNG or his teammates. The more competent his teammates (which might aswell be the case in silver now) the easier it is for him to win games. People dealing damage upon his spotting, and him being able to kill ships while his teammates stay alive is a good combination to just win games.

70-80% WR is possible even excluding luck. If you are lucky ontop of that or play ships can save their stars (DD killers) its not that hard to go through the ranks. Obviously being unlucky can ruin that easily, but some people will be lucky, some will be unlucky, and so you will always have people who will rank out pretty fast. Dunno what kinda WR CVs can achieve in ranked, but it should be more than 70-80% (theoratically...)

She does seem rather weak to me, i dont even get all the hype for it Pretty low HP for a T9 (same as Alsace, but Alsace is atleast faster), only 9 guns with 36 sec reload, dispersion could be decent? Maybe? Hard to say yet, probably better than the other italians, alltho they also have more guns...

What about being a good player themselves?

I just hope, that all the YOLO bots went to silver like in the test season. I only played 3 games so far, but it feels much better. My people dont want to just suicide, except one Anchorage so far. Hit W, full broadside, doesnt shoot, doesnt smoke *BLAP*. Apart from that, there seemed to be a willingness to actually play instead of farming rewards or doing stupid missions. So i rather stay in bronze and have fun with secondary ships.

When Missouri came out for 750k FreeXP, that was actually quite a lot for most players. Back then, having Camos with 100XP+CaptXP OR FreeXP was something special, and we didnt have those super signals either. WG just made their own inflation with FreeXP, thus everything is so much more expensive now.

I have 26 million XP accumulated (which is not even that much, there are people around with way more) which would translate into 1.300.000 FreeXP... dont think that makes from WGs point of view.

I think there are people, who think wows is even more important than life... you know, those BB players that seem to physically die when they get their paint scratched

Got called "lil crap" today, because a NC kept humping my [edited] (pommern) when i wanted to keep ships in my secondary range. He really didnt like that i was farming the enemies

I think you need to test every ship you have and report back to us

If you switch to, lets say, Tirpitz, does he also play Tirpitz?
