T-22 ? Jaguar (ok this one does not have smoke) ?

Gremy is a relic of the past. In the current meta she'd not be as strong. Her main gimmick was stealth firing (just look at the Blyska which shared the same fate for a comparison). I really don't see a reason why they should not reintroduce the Gremy back into the game.

I was thinking about the same. I am waiting for the Smolensk and Stalingrad nerfs in the same direction ... The only nerf Smolensk needs is to get her range capped to 14km ... then it will be fine ....

Question is, do you want to get one ? So far I'm in the free port slot and credits camp ... don't intend to play those ships.

ah ... continuing the tradtition since I play the game, I skip the Halloween event. a. rewards are not worth it b. does not advance any ship lines, only captain FXP is left c. PvP is of the predatory type that I don't enjoy the port with the caged monster looks good tho :-)

CV rockets vs DDs is a nuisance ... the only time I lost a turret on the Khaba was against a Midway rocket planes ... Never lost a turret before on that ship even to Conqueror HE ...

how to fix ? more asashios, smolensks and of course submarines ....

so .... can we see all the cruiser numbers ranked top to bottom by KOTS participation and region ? no ? oh yes Hindy and Zao and also I think Minotaur would look quite interesting. I think I can remember the issue when UK cruisers were first introduced with smoke + HE .... and suddenly it's not a problem .. wasn't Kutuzov pulled from the game for some such stupid reason ?

I see reading is not your strong point ... I was talking about caping mid to late game .... The planes are so fast he can see you step on the cap, drop his current squad, launch whatever he uses to kill DDs and be over your head before you are 1/2 through the cap. No other ship is capable of doing that or at least you can counter them somehow (zone them out with torps, move away etc.)

that does not matter much anyway, once you step on a cap, any competent CV will now where you are ... so irrelevant anyway ...

Oh s!!t really ? I did not know that one ... THANKS !!!

I have seen this so many times I lost count. Unless you are in the middle of the team or on the extreme border of the map you are always the first to be spotted since the CV will go to the nearest target he can see anyway and will spot you en route. If that is the case you will server the team better in a cruiser or BB (radar cruiser preferred). A DD trying to do something mid to late game in a CV game is in the same s..hole as the one sinking at the start. Trying to flip the cap will instantly alert the CV to your presence and you are much easier to find there ... Smoke is the only option here and that is usually saved for other situations .... DDs are screwed one way or the other unless you have people on your team that know how to support you (which is even rarer than CV games). Call me a pessimist but I have seen each and every situation. When you have proper support you just roll like no tomorrow and destroy the other team. Unfortunately that is rarely the case these days ... In a CV game, if the enemy CV sucks you have a chance. Otherwise there's nothing you can do ...

What he's is saying is that you should never face a tier 8 ship as a tier 5 (Acasta) as the MM spread is +/-2 at most. So you were either in a "fail division" i.e. with a ship of a higher tier than yours. Or somebody else caused the MM to be skewed.

The other day 2 Smolensks asked me to spot for them in my Khabarovsk in an island rich area with Stalingrad and Minotaur on enemy team lurking there .... Well I actually tried and we won the game thanks to that ... but still ... I had a very low damage game and did not survive past 1/2 time ...

To be fair I was suspicious of a link outside the usual web presence for a bug hotfix ... however it worked for me, no login required, nothing ... sooo no clue what you are talking about ...

The majority won't notice simply because they have the client set up in a way where it closes seemingly fine but the zombie process remains running and is killed by next system shutdown. F.e. I would not have noticed if I did not verify in task manager that it is indeed the case for me as well. So you might just not be aware of it ... And blaming a corrupt installation on the user end when a wide variety of users complain (different OS version, different driver setup, different software etc.) about the exact same issue that is fixed by a clean installation only means that the update process did corrupt something. And some of the reporters even wen through the trouble of check/validate their installation the usual WGCC way.

You have seen the usual Wargaming response to 99% of the bugs reported actually ... ok 97% to be fair ...

nope, but the elite commander XP will remain

I can enter and exit the game normally, but the wows executable stays in task manager after client exit. So the issue seems the same as the others. Maybe check your task manager after you exit the client ?

Same here ... wows exe remains after game close ... have to kill it via task manager ...

Don't play the game if you don't like it ... Nobody's forcing you to ... And it's the only proper way to show WG what you think about those practices ... Do you want politicians to dictate most of your life ? There'll be always the sick and stupid that take the bait ... such is the nature of this world ...

That Tempest picture .... oh those were happy times ...

You are doing the same mistake as Pete. You are looking at the numbers without context or a clue how the Khabarovsk works.

Khabarovsk outperforms all tier 10 DDs in a very specific scenarion. Basically it is a very good specialist at farming DAMAGE which the stats show. All the others are good at much much more than the Khabarovsk. And now we have the Kleber that is BETTER than Khabarovsk in about every way other than raw HP pool. So yes, power crept to oblivion because the only viable role the Khaba had was now taken over by a better ship. The Khaba has NO practical role in the game at the moment.

about that 50mm plate ... You are aware that that plate allows BB AP to arm at a much broader range of angles, do you ? ANd you eat full 283mm+ caliber pens ... So you are basically MORE vulnerable to large caliber AP because of that plate !!! I got chunked pretty hard at my max range by a Stalingrad several times each time I meet them ... and those are much more common than Khabarovsks ... That 50mm plate helps against DDs and 6" cruisers. And you are not supposed to engage DDs up close (base for rudder nerf). And now we have the Kleber that is faster, has usable torps, better stealth, much more range and the MBRB ... Khaba++
