3. BB main grinding the Sparklers mission for PR ... Just look at WG task/mission design. Sometimes you have no choice but to play like an idiot to finish them.

Hmm ... one thing that I'd like to see at least evaluated by WG is the change of the aiming reticle to full width when a plane from the attacking wing goes down and is replaced from the rest of the squadron. This would give the defending ships at least something to work with with the little effect AA has currently.

IIRC (I might be wrong) in one patch WG reduced the bomb drop height on some CVs (or all of them) to reduce slingshoting ... so you might be actually on to something here .... just not on the right track. WG are unable to correct flaws in their own game (they really never bothered with CVs properly) as usual (double detonation AP, black hole armor etc....). IF FLAK was designed to be a defense which you must fly through, it would not be spawned in such a stupid fashion (i.e. in a STRAIGHT LINE in front of the planes) but rather in a more historical fashion in a VOLUME of air - a 3D configuration with actual depth to it. So again, your assumption is incorrect, the designers had all the power to design flak as unavoidable ... Also I think you have your understanding of cheat and exploit a bit mixed.

Are you sane ? I mean seriously are you SANE ? You are implying here that I in a DD should stop playing the game when the enemy team has a radar cruisers and just let myself be sunk by him without trying to evade or counterplay in any way ? You are seriously suggesting that CV players that dodge FLAK are CHEATERS ??? DO you not dodge incoming shells ?

I know this is an old post but let this sink in: 1. CVs are mirrored tier for tier 2. We condense CVs to 1/2 the tiers as before Result: there are MORE CVs of the same tier in any given player count, so the MM has a much easier time creating CV games. given that conclusion, I doubt we'll see the 5/7/9 tier CVs ever again ...

Get lost ... I was playing a AA build Grozovoi pre-rework and I had no issues shredding entire squadrons. The same build shoots down 2-3 planes from a tier 10 CV before he can strike with the rest ... You have no clue ...

So basically the resource investment did not make things better, so a net loss ...It was a change in gameplay direction for one class, but in the end it is no more popular than before. One of the main factors is the MM restriction (mirror MM) and the huge impact CVs have on the game that requires the MM restriction to remain in effect.

For me the Legendary module made the ship playable .... My main gripe was the limited range (it was workable but very restricting when facing specific ships like Smolensk or Stalingrad). I play full guns + heal, so 9.7km concealment and 8.9 sec rudder (I have Vigilance just because I am bad at anticipating Shima torps). Unfortunately I don't have the gift of selfish damage farming, so I do cap and hunt DDs in the Khaba so my damage is not the best ... or WR for that matter ...

This is far beyond the programmer capabilities WG can afford I am afraid ... but it would be nice to have ...

Not at all ... I am at 5/6 from the first directive. Basically I am taking it as a bonus and not trying to alter my gameplay to meet the requirements ... I may finish the Gorizia but I doubt it ...

something like that ...

not worth the 10k coal ... for 30k maybe ....

There are no friendly torpedoes as a general rule ... Anyway, if it was the same player TWICE in a match, I'd check the replay, maybe it was intentional ... still you have to watch where you launch torps ... happens from time to time ...

very situational and ship dependent ... if you can catch the squadron leaving and returning in the same hemisphere to attack again then yes, it is useful ... reinforcing the sector on the first incoming strike is useless ... they quickly leave the hot zone ...

You want HE on RN cruisers ? Get a Worcester or Smolensk ...

Oh and I thought I am the only one of the kind ....

I spent nothing on crates other than saved up doubloons from the year ... my bank/card issuer refuses to pay Wargaming for some reason, so a big thanks to them for saving me money (Yes I had a ticket opened with WG, they think it's Paypal but I have no issues with humblebundle or steam purchases ... so sorry WG, my bank does not like you ... you have a problem).

yeah I was looking at the Yugumo and seen no discount ... then I checked the date ... twice ... then I found the article ... read it twice and then it hit me in the face .... I cried in anger ...

Oh yeah .... because you did it for free ... oh wait no you did not ... it's funny how that impossible is changed with money isn't it ? Now enjoy your ship ...

I thought the same ... but there's a specific class/nation/discount combination ... so pay good attention to the table ... f.e. DD's only get discounts for 3 nations ... scamy WG as always ...

Fighting fire with fire are we now WG ?

WG, what is missing in the spreadsheet is what game results you are expecting for a person that can do that for free ? 2-5 in 3 days each ? Some of them are like an entire line grind or more !!!! ARE YOU SERIOUS ??? I demand to see the first to complete for free list (just a number) of players that actually managed this after the event ... You know without spending any doubloons ....

None of those. The game at present is not worth spending money on, maybe except premium time ...

I like the new login screen, however can we get an option to MUTE IT ? I had the video in the old one paused for exactly that reason.

I wanted to get the Gorizia for the ship missions it unlocks (want teh CV and DD). Then I looked at the directives I need to complete and I concluded that I cannot complete directive 3 with my main class (DDs), as I will be missing 2 missions (not possible to complete in DDs). If I get close enough I might actually try cruisers but I don't think I can do it DDs only.
