actually people in a clan are the few lucky (or unlucky) ones ... just look at the clan section and find me a clan that has sane requirements ... there's none ... they either want CBS/crazy stats (for the average player) or mandate regular online time (which for somebody with life outside the game is again not possible). or they are using discord which is about the worst application for voicecom I have ever seen (as it cannot be customized to your game controls but you have to customize your game controls to accommodate discord). I have tried a few ... gave yet to meet any I would like to stay in ...

Congratulations ... I hope your family did not suffer much (if you have one). I still don't get the people that continued to grind the directives after they knew they have the PR ...

those will never learn something so are not a factor you can do anything about ... and it's not like those are the majority of players, so the situation lately cannot be attributed to those players .... also that observation you just stated coming from veslingr with only some 400 battles is strange as it requires longer exposure to the game to come to that ...

and there the stats will help me to evaluate the experience of the person making the statement ... veslingr does not have those ... catch 22 ...

Let's put it this way ... If what you say does NOT make sense but you have more experience than I do, I may just lack the experience to be able to properly evaluate your statement. Again this is a game and the game mechanics do not make sense at times .... see the difference ?

The issue is one of validating the statements ... simply put, anybody can make any statement they wish, but if it comes from a person that can show their experience and prowess in the game, then it makes you reevaluate your own opinion if it differs and check that you are not speaking from personal bias. basically, speaking from a position of authority has a different effect than speaking from the position of a nobody (I know that, I am a nobody and I get this treatment a lot even in cases where my opinion is valid and confirmed by other more experienced players). thus if he chooses to use a "nobody" account it's a problem of his own making. he basically said "let me troll you here for a bit ..." instead of using his position of authority to contribute properly ... look, I can use my clan holding alt that has no random games what so ever and speak about what I know best (DD gameplay) and you'd question the validity the same way ...

Well yes and no ... He said A (noticed that such players exist) but did not connect it with B - they are not an issue as they don't have any ambition in the game what so ever (otherwise they would have learned by 4-5k battles) and may not even be aware that such stats are available. That is not acceptable from an experienced player. And less so from a forum troll ....

then he should post with his main and avoid issues like these ... veslingr looks to be a forum troll by the stats (posts to battles ratio) ...

I was expecting torp range nerf but this works as well ... now to get Khaba back his 10km torps and we are good ...

I am surprised there actually are people in the HoF ....

None of the presented options. CVs should not exist in the game as there is no enjoyable option to balance them with surface ships. Ideally the CVs should do recon behind enemy lines and attack lone targets/weak groups with some support for the main fleet in the form of spotting. Looke at it this way: 1. CVs should be able to patrol and spot ships in areas of interest - basically some kind of spotter plane consumable that actually increases the hit probability on the called target - viable support role 2. CVs should NOT be able to attack larger groups of enemy ships simply due to the AA or attack them with low hit probability - think high altitude horizontal bombers - out of AA reach but large drop scatter (here the DD with torpedoes has its role) 3. CVs should be able to punish/finish lone targets - the usual dive/torpedo bombers That way, CV needs some assistance from own team to soften large AA clusters however can provide something (spotter/accuracy increase) in that situation as well and can add with team DPS with high altitude bombers. Once there are smaller groups, the CV is free to attack in the usual way ...

Finally, he should have been sacked after the failed Ring competition ... was long overdue ...

hmm ... got the Blyska recently when it was introduced into the Armory for coal. I don't have a CE captain for it yet. played one game in it, maybe I had luck on stupid enemies, but I managed 4 kills and decent damage ... firing arcs buff would be nice but I'd prefer builtin IFHE since it has only 120mm guns and can get into T9 matches ....

have at it and enjoy !!!

ah sorry ... I forgot it has to be thick enough to not be overmatched ... what turtleback does is autobounce shells away from the citadel. if it can be overmatched it serves no purpose ... so if you have angled but thin armor it is not turtleback ... if you have more than one layer that forces an autobounce check then you are better off in the borderline area where bounce is not 100% certain ...

you got it wrong. turtleback means that the above water citadel is ANGLED ... so it bounces shells that get there ... the sideskirt angle does not matter. so Yes, Arizona does have turtleback ...

cause and effect are unclear here ... I'd wait till the PR grind is over and the situation normalizes ... I think there's a lot of people focused more on the PR directives than actually playing well and winning ...

there are quite a few posts here (if not deleted) that feature screenshots from the original patch article that grossly understated the difficulty ... oh why am I wasting bits on you ? you're just a troll it seems ...

I was expecting the event to be hard with regards to the directive ... I did not expect them to change the booster cost as that has no reason to be changed between PTS and live other than pure deceit.

IIRC the Fubu has about 6.0-6.1 concealment with a 10 point captain. However the upgraded torps are 10km ... upgrade hull + torps, ignore the guns, get a basic 10 point captain (PM, LS, SE, CE) and you are good to go Now if you DON'T have CE on the captain, you have no choice but to learn how to play a 2nd line DD (which in the case of the Fubu is a problem since it only has 4 barrels). Or stick to the Mutsuki until you do. There are certain tiers and milestones that are not worth crossing unless you have the prerequisites (captain or freexp). Don't know about now, but you can get a 10 point captain from Operations, so look there if you can.

Can anybody point me to a decent guide for the RN CVs ? I have started a 2nd account as a clan holding/management one and thought I'd try CVs there (if you can't fight them, join them).

forum warrior account ? more posts than battles by a lot ... for the record, the CCs did videos on the TEST server about the Dockyard and there the numbers looked about OKish ... come live, the numbers looked a LOT different ... since something like doubloons are credited in a decent amount on the test server, there was NO reason fro WG to put up the event on PTS with a much lower booster cost than what went live other than outright scam attempt. one can understand the directive requirements as those would be impossible to test on the PTS ... but the booster prices f.e. don't make sense other than already mentioned scam attempt ...

There are indeed people who play with "Rotate Minimap" ON ....

I potatoed ....

coop is there just to introduce new players to the game ...
