No está mal, 43 batallas en una racha respetable.

So many WG infiltrated agents... not very subtle

Agreed. I have all except for Henri and Hindenburg strikes the perfect balance. Mino can be the most fun but you're likely to blow hot and cold with her and Des Moines is a beast but too limited in playstyle. I can't for the life of me make Zao work.

I can't say I mind radars that much. Shima was the first tier X DD I unlocked and I play her almost every day. Sure, 3/4 radars in the enemy team is annoying a.f. but how many times do you actually face that? I'd rather face 2 radars than a CV. The Shimakaze game I've enjoyed the most was one where I managed to troll a Des Moines and a Donskoi into radaring cap A by regularly showing a bit of my bow out of the island I was hiding behind. It was something like 8 minutes of them doing absolutely nothing until they got bored and left. Sure I didn't do much myself during that time (except for a couple of torps) but the trade off was in our favour and it was hillarious.

I've dropped SI and Priority Target myself. 4 smokes and hydros are usually enough and the torpedo reload with both captain skill and module is just hillarious. And if detected it pays to assume everybody and their dog is targetting you anyway.

Or, to put it another way, probably the good players in his early matches when he was a newbie/potato had the same feeling about him (and me and everybody else that had just started playing) Lack of self-awareness, as usual. There will always be worse but also better players than you out there, and hopefully most will go up the ladder given time. And a smal minority will just go up the tiers and end up as sitting ducks at tier X.

As I said in a previous post (might be my first in this thread) Neptune could very well feel aggraviated by the change, because it has a higher detection inside his smoke (when firing) than other RN cruisers, for no apparent reason. The whole smoke thing is stupid no matter how WG decides to deal with it. But if I have to choose, I'd rather the way it is now than how it worked before the change, with 2 cruisers and 2 BBs trying to squeeze inside a smoke. If that was team play, it was stupid, unfunny and camping team play that has been happily taken out of the game. If you are playing a Gearing you can still smoke your division mate in a Des Moines for proper team play and giggles. Completely agree with your second paragraph. You learn to deal with it and it also makes you a better player for it.

Guns can hardly be improved through captain skills though. And a secondary build is fun once every 10 games or so... We actually met on the same team yesterday, a win. I was on Missouri, you on our CV (Enterprise maybe?)

Creo recordar haber leído por ahí que con determinados cascos cambia también la munición empleada.

Thanks for the help. Still not making much sense but there you go: So the new mechanic affects team play. Well team play in randoms is quite difficult to find, and in my experience players tended to sail past your smoke BEFORE and AFTER the smoke change. Which doesn't greatly affect most cruisers btw. BBs yes, and that's a good thing. Please do answer to what I write instead of putting words in my mouth. What are you on about about whether Nepture is unplayable or not? Is it? You hate it? Do I? Have I said I do????? So nobody has mentioned Edinburgh. Well, except favus. Righto. Well I never said it was you, did I? I find it ironic how someone who can't follow the line of thought of other posters and misunderstands who has posted an example and who has argued against that example (hint, me) can barely make himself understood and to top it all ends up accussing others of shutting their brain off and not reading past the thread title after the grand total of one inane post.

No, rojo el Musashi, creo, pero como ese no lo regalan, me quedo con el que lleva, que ya me he acostumbrado al camo ensalada de los IJN. Por cierto, gracias WG, al fin y al cabo estamos hablando de un camo premium de todo un tier X +50% Commander XP -50% Coste Servicio +50% XP

That's the example posted by another player sunshine. A stupid one at that to argue that the smoke change has been a bad decision. Also, your contribution so far to this thread has been to post a quite difficult to understand rambling about your Neptune play (which I've acknowledged further up is the one ship that could perhaps feel aggrieved by this change btw) and two posts questioning other forumites if they can read properly beyond the headline. Talking about shutting off the brain...

Y aquí está... Podría ser peor.

Because it's not difficult to do 25-30k damage or more through secondaries/fires in Kurfurst yet I've done next to nothing so far in Yamato. Kurfurst's have the advantage of number of guns over Gneisenau/Bismark/FdG. But dispersion/damage/sigma is still below par compared to other tier X BBs. Not bad, but definately poorer.

Bullsh$t In order to kill 2-4 players in most games would mean you are team killing your entire team in the rest. I've seen poor players (nothing wrong with that, we all go through that and are still learning) rage againt team mates' inability to carry them but yours, Sir, takes the biscuit.

I can't see what's wrong with a new mechanic that lets you punish a RN CL that decided to smoke up close to enemy DD/CA/BB without having an allied DD in front of him. Surely if an Edinburgh gets spotted in her smoke by a BB that decided to push it it's her fault and nobody else's. We usually criticise WG for promoting dumb and easy play with every change they introduce yet one change that forces you to play smart (or smarter) and there we go...

Not much has changed IMO. Neptune might have a case, but other than that, I'm still doing great in my Kutuzov. Learning to be a bit more careful is not a bad thing. You take a bit more care to note where the enemy DDs are if you play agressively and put hydro on her instead of DefAA and you're good to go. BBs didn't need the stupid smoke camping. And DDs are hardly affected. You are still more likely to be detected because hydro/radar than because you are firing with an enemy ship right under your nose. Finally, I haven't noticed any changes whatsoever in team play. In Randoms you are as likely to find your allies sailing past the smoke you've just laid for them now than before the change. Not many people cared to set smokes for that reason before and that hasn't changed.

Well you are comparing Kurfurst's guns with other, lower tiered KM BB guns. That can be equally said of Yamato's guns against Izumo's and Amagi's and Montana's against Iowa's (in number) and NC's (number and calibre) I've only played a handful of games in my Yamato but give me her guns any day of the week over Kurfurst's. Sigma, lolpen and damage. Anyway, don't want to hijack the thread nor to suggest KM BBs are underpowered by any stretch of the imagination. Oh, and nerf the Conqueror already!

Pensa is fine. NO would be fine except for MM Balti is fine once you get the upgraded guns. Des Moines is fine. They just have a very particular playstyle, I hardly ever play Des Moines (I sold the rest) because I can't stand the find rock, shoot over rock, repeat at nauseam thingy.

Otra opción es usar la mira dinámica, que te marca el tiempo de vuelo siempre. Yo la puse al poco de empezar a jugar y me va bien. No tiene las plantillas para calcular la elevación cuando el objetivo está angulado y moviéndose, pero como con todo, con práctica, muuuucha práctica, el calcular dónde disparar en función de si el objetivo va a toda máquina o a 3/4, si va a virar o seguirá recto, si angula o no, al final te sale sin pensar.

Gneisenau, Bismark, FdG and Kurfurst's are definately poorer that the IJN, RN and US counterparts in terms of number of guns, calibre, damage and/or dispersion. Ballistics are great, but even if it weren't that is something you can get used to, unlike dispersion, on which you have no say. Can't remember Bayern's, I hated that ship.

This. I don't mind the stupid HE spamming but all BBs should have a raised citadel. Ok, maybe the KM ones not so much, because their guns are significantly poorer and are designed to brawl. I've shot a Conqueror with my Yamato, all 9 guns to his glorious full broadside at 7-8 km. Maybe 15k damage in all. Reverse the situation and, in the admittedly unlikely chance that the Conqueror had AP loaded, my Yamato would have been citadelled to death. And rightly so.

En los contenedores propios de la colección por jugar el Musashi y el Yamato creo que siempre me han salido 2 personajes más las 10 banderitas. Si es verdad que en los contenedores diarios a veces sale uno o ninguno. Me quedan 6 por descubrir y tengo 25 duplicados, así que con un poco de suerte mañana me saco el camo del Yamato.

Cuando capturas, tienes que volver a recapturar (otra vez sin ayuda) porque tus aliados se quedan en spam y hundes 5 de los 7 barcos enemigos y el BB de turno se queja que los DD/CAs no hacen su trabajo

Yo tuve mi racha compradora, pero llegado a este punto no creo que vuelva a comprar un premium más, porque: Apenas juego tiers medios-bajos, generalmente 9-10 y alguno de VIII, y sólo estoy subiendo la rama de BBs RN y la de DDs Pan-Asia (y esas, poco a poco) Ya tengo suficientes y muchos de ellos, abandonados (Molotov, Warspite, Alabama, Anshan...) Una vez que consigues varios capitanes con 19 y empiezas a sacar EliteXP a chorro, reentrenar capitanes mediante barcos premium deja de tener sentido Para quitar el gusanillo de los premium encima te puedes sacar mediante FreeXP o campañas barcos como el Duke of York o el Musashi. Hay barcos en tier X que, si te gustan mucho o los juegas a menudo (Shima, Hindenburg...) te gastas cuatro perras en un camo permanente, y listo Que igual mañana sacan la línea de acorazados rusos y por aquello del Russian Bias sacan un super acorazado OP, pues me lo pensaré, pero por lo demás, cuenta premium y a disfrutar de lo que ya tengo.
