I guess this has to do with the fact that the ship viewer does not track type/model of subsystem but only count and position. You can see that when you change hulls that have AA armament changes. The range / damage differences are based only on position in the list :-) But I have to try this myself and post some pics with IJN DDs with DW torps :-))) EDIT: I tried to reproduce it but I was not able to. That ship indicator icons show for me only in the upgrades section, not the ship parameters and captain part ...

As a DD player, I prefer competent AS CV to a competent Strike CV ... but that's just me .. You cannot move enemy CV planes with strike aircraft, only with fighters. Yes a balanced loadout should be best of both in theory, but balanced usually means one aspect sucks as there are 2 strike aircraft type and only one fighter craft type.

because it does not make sense, that's why ... imagine radar stacking with the acquisition module ....

Hydro does stack with Vigilance ? Are you sure? Because if that's really true, we should start reporting that as a bug ...

Why was it so hard to keep the old AS/Strike setups and replace the default one with the new setup ? You took all choice away.

Just click he link, it will open an ingame browser similar to the news one. Hit ESC while it is loading and you'll never see it again. This is another WG annoyance.

1. Description Ingame news browser does not properly display the pages with interactive tabs 2. Reproduction steps Open the news browser, select the "December mission briefing" item 3. Result The missions for the dates are not displayed, see attached screenshot. 4. Expected result Proper page rendering. As an alternative, can we have an option in the client to DISABLE that useless PoS ?? 5. Technical details The page itself states that if the Missions are not displayed, we can try to refresh the page. However there's no reload button in the UI. Hitting F5 DOES refresh the News browser, however it also points it back to the top news item. There's no way to refresh a specific news item. Closing and reopening the News browser does nothing.

NOPE ! DW torps and magnetic detonators have nothing in common. Adjusting the running depth based on the target draft was the normal thing to do for any submarine crew. Since the same torpedoes were used on surface ships, it is the same there. However we have no choice in this in the game. WG simply decided that the "normal" torpedoes have a running depth where they hit destroyers and DW torps have a deeper running depth, so they go under destroyers. If DW torps had magnetic detonators, they'd explode under destroyers anyway since those are non-contact detonators :-) Basically WG created another half-realistic half-unfinished implementation of a weapon system in order to justify the existence of a ship line ....

The PA DDs cannot flush out other DDs from smoke safely (can't use torps for that) and if they use radar for that, they cannot really shoot or they will be visible (it can be done if circumstances are correct, but you do not control how the target DD works with smoke). Z-52 will still be king in this regard. The Shima sucks against cruisers, is decent in torping smokes and is still fine torping DDs. Its self-defense was always weak and that does not change with PA DDs ....

Not if your ship is the Titanic ....

Stat whore complaining ? Do you have fun with the ship ? Does it work for you and you gameplay style ? YES ??? Then the hell with the stats ...

Bought the ship yesterday .... haven't ha so much fun since my first Khabarovsk game .... It's slow, fragile and short range ... but when those guns let loose it's amazing ....

Or in the battle loading screen, survivability rating 45 is hull A, rating 50 is hull B ... but I did make a mistake a few times there so :-)

Learn the names of the radar carrying ships and their ranges, duration is hard to judge because of the module, expect 30 seconds minimum. ALWAYS assume the ship has radar (f.e. CHapayev A hull cannot mount radar, you can see it in the team lineup, but you can make mistakes). Check the team lineup at start of battle for the radar ships. If you don't know who's where, pick a cap where you can slip behind islands fast, never go into open caps in that case. ALways call targets when you spot them, cruisers first as they are much easier to get rid of. You can bait out radar with smokes in strategic locations, but some unhappy team mate may try to use those and pay for it :-)) happens to me frequently... Hydro is another can of worms :-) Similar rules apply.

Hello Cpt. Obvious, thanks for the explanation ... My point was that the price of modules had nothing to do with slot position and was never considered to be the ordering factor so rearranging them according to price has about the same meaning as the previous ordering and thus is not needed or wanted ... And to repeat again, there were not slot numbers in the UI anywhere, so I can order them 1,6,3,2,4,5 if I want and it's about as valid as 1-6 ...

They were not sorted by anything before, there were no slot numbers in the UI that I'd notice. The new order will be equally transparent. It will just confuse a lot of people watching old YT ship reviews .... that will be about the net result of the change. Another unnecessary change (same as the Tech tree change) ....

I think you misunderstood the reward ? It enables you to mount 2 flags on IJN ships, all other ships can only mount one ?

you have 16mm stern and deck armor, the Nagato has 410mm guns ... he will overmatch both and you have a flat citadel armor of 70mm after that ... what did you expect ? he just needs to hit enough shells right in front of your back turret ... if you had presented some angle so that your aft citadel wall was not flat to him, he'd bounce the shells and you'd get only normal pens ...

wow ... does a similar review exist for the Grozovoi ? This data dump is awesome ...

Because the Tech Tree redesign was important and did not take development time ... and there are several other examples (like that bloody useless news section in the client) .... Don't try to argument with that crap of an excuse when there are long term issues that WG is ignoring ....

don't bother, I tried to get some reasonable answers from WG about this during PTS testing on the forum, I did not get any ... so far it looks like this: 1. owned: white text, no cost, thick white box 2. ships immediately obtainable: thin white box, white text (these had green background previously) 3. ships missing some price: no box, white text, cost 4. ships not obtainable: grey, no box, no cost of any kind I had to click on several ships to figure this out, it is completely obscure to a new player and I suspect there's NO description or tutorial available anywhere that explains this ... Usual WG style ...

So at the moment I am fine ... I do not want them to clutter my port, there's no option to hide them (STILL !!!) so basically you want me to NOT play the game to not get annoyed by them ...

Since a few patches I don't get the result notification of a battle I quit before it finished. 1. Start a battle 2. Get sunk or for what ever reason leave to port and exit the game client 3. Log in again after battle has finished There's no notification of the battle results. You get the credits/XP changed but there's no notification in the notification area and no result screen available. It used to give you the notification and the overview screen (detailed reports were never available), however that is not the case anymore.

Rental ships are gone from my port, however I did not find any option or filter for this, so I guess that's a bug ?

That was a tier 8 CV in a predominantly tier 9/10 game (he was the only tier 8), he's got bigger problems than my DFAA !!! I am not able to touch tier 9 planes (I am lucky to shoot down 2-3 in that case, mostly only the panic effect is my contribution) ....
