Of course it hasn't.

Been away from the game for 3 months. I see the playerbase is still tanking down heavily according to some people. Have we reached pond life level yet? We surely must have by now?

It's T, as many helpful red players will remind you every now and then... (Joking obviously, it' H)

Ok, so I started throwing afk reports left right and centre when Chapayev, Scharnhorst and Ranger wouldn't move... And then realised the enemy was having a similar problem... Enemy Saipan though with no opposition (our Ranger only got into the game with a couple of minutes to go. A mini ranked with 4-5 dummy targets we didn't have the chance to shoot at

Well I just logged in and surprise surprise I won a prize!!! Thanks @lup3s and all the guys donating! I'm on holidays but internet connection is iffy a.f. here but tomorrow, ah tomorrow I'll be sailing my new ship! Thanks to y'all!!!

22 battles to reach rank 1 with T-61. No weaknesses and that Hydro + 19 pt captain with RL on a DD heavy meta and yes, T-61 is king. Amazing the number of DD players who are not only not running RL but are also missing Survailability Expert.

Errr, this playerbase is getting worse malarkey has been doing the rounds since, well, ever. We must be at pondlife level by now but I can't really tell the difference. Bit like the school kids on holidays or weekend warriors thingy. I'm sure ther will be similar posts two years hence. It's b00llocks.

Just typed this one manually and it worked. No luck with the rest.

I want to partitipate too Thx!

I always go for PM as the level 1 skill and as the OP says assume everyone is shooting me if spotted. Probably just being lazy about it and nor wanting to re-specc.

It works for me without IFHE. Had another 4 battles with Lightning and Cossack since this morning (not in chart) 4 victories: Sure, with IFHE I would be doing more damage but capping and cleaning is a lot more important. CE+RL trumps it IMO.

Off topic but better than Lightning for which we'll have a camo from the British RN collection? PS Not buying any containers, plenty of premium ships I hardly play anymore.

And this is it in a nutshell. Crap player in a CV, doesnt get spotted, does sweet f.a. and dies very late in the game. Rolfstomp for the other team unless similar crap CV player on the other side. Crap player in BB, doesnt leave spawn, does sweet f.a. and dies late in the game but very fast with most repairs unused. Crap player in cruiser, if a radar one he rushes into a cap, turns showing broadside and dies instantly 10 seconds into his radar. You've guessed it right, doing sweet f.a. If non-radar cruiser, go to BB.

WG should have Ewan McGregor recite that Trainspotting style.

There is a bit of a disconnection between what you claim to do and your stats. You can sink 6 ships by being a camper. You have probably done it once and given your kill ratio spent the next 4 games killing nobody. Range on a GK is useless unless you camp when it just becomes a bad choice. It is even more of an illogical choice if you run a secondary build. Reload module or better yet the LU is where it's at. That doesn't mean it always work, but you must stay as close to that magic 11,5ish distance from the nearest target as possible. I can assure you your average damage will go up although you'll be overextending from time to time and going back to port too early.

That DD has 6-7 knots over you at most. If he sees someone 10km from him and you are another 10km behind it means you have not left spawn at all or you are moving to the other side of the map. In both cases, you are NOT supporting him. If you support a ship you are right behind or a few km behind, not 10km away. At 10km from your ally the nearest enemy you'll be able to shoot will be a Yugumo at 15.4km. Good luck with that. You can easily make +100k camping. In fact you have an average of 77k for the last 21 days in GK and that means you have one battle with 54k for every battle with 100k (or three 69k-69k-69k for every 100k battle and so on...). That looks more like a camper all right.

Hear hear!

Thanks for that. Nothing to do with Hindy and her torps, just a balans thing back in the day then.

And therein lies the problem. If Hindy's AP is considered strong, it has to be so when compared to other tier X cruisers, more often than not. Being the best of the 203mm in ideal circumstances (the others not being bad at it btw) but definately worse 95% of the time is anything but my definition of strong.

Do you have any link for that? I haven't seen it anywere so you could just as well say US cruisers get better concealment or RoF in exchange for the torpedoes. That bit on the other hand is plain wrong. Hindy AP is as strong as anyone's against a full broadside target. Against a ship even slightly angled, it's sh$t (worse than US and UK's one at least and no better than the rest) I don't know when will those CA/CL changes will be implemented but by your argument WG might as well stop any buff/nerfs since those and CV and IFHE changes will surely affect the whole meta.

If you want to play her closer to the caps and as a brawler, and the turtleback and torps would indicate she was designed for it, then yes. As a long range HE spammer, not really, she is just not the best at it but she is not bad either. I want to play her as a brawler (but I can't) so I'd take any of: Reload Improved AP +5k hp Better armor protection Better concealment (around 11km with CE/camo) No BB should have better concealment than a cruiser to begin with.

I've tried it. Straight downgrade, the seen from the moon concealment is simple unworkable. 4-5 BBs per game will shoot at you because everybody else is still concealed. Those BBs have better concealment than you FFS. Your 51k will melt in no time. Another heal will rarelly make a difference. If you play her aggressively you will be sunk, if you play safe as a HE spammer (and we are told she was not designed for that) then it's also useless. I had the LU installed for 40-50 games, damage avg went down, WR too. Normal service resumed now. Plenty of ways to buff her, another heal was not the way to go.

WG themselves called it: German cruisers Roon and Hindenburg: Increased the number of Repair Party consumable charges from 2 (3) to 3 (4). A greater number of charges of equipment will raise the average life time of ships in battle, however, these changes will be better harnessed when using ships as long-range cruisers and/or played safely. Which may be true-ish for the Roon but so much for the tier X brawler... Give Hindy back her reload or give her 5k hp Or improve her AP or her armor scheme Another repair that will only be useful if you play her as a long range poor HE spammer? No thanks.

I think I got that coupon yesterday but I can't find it now. Where do you retrieve it to use it? I'm thinking on buying some premium time. Thanks!

Hindi doesn't need a heal. Give her back that reload nerf or improve her AP. I'd rather hey'd give her a small hp buff than another heal that she won't be using anyway. She can't tank for sh$t now.
