I remember July 2018 I opened a Super Container, after I tried my luck, to find 180 days of premium time inside... the following one I received after that was 5,000 Doubloons .... I have also recently had one that gave me 100,000 fxp... Looking forwards to mine...

@Klopirat thank you.

When does this begin?

BB's main turrets reload slowly compared to Cruisers and DD's so how can you call it HE spam? Are you sure you are not talking about secondary fire as some BB's have secondaries that, with a flag, can fire to 11.6km..and again with two further flags and DE the fire chance increases further still... As @ColonelPetehas said AP, fired right, is the choice. Are you aware that enemy ships have citadels and that AP shells fired accurately can demolish opponents or reduce their HP to a point where they are then eliminated easily. Fire damage can be almost fully reclaimed especially if you have the flag that give +20% damage recovery. I suspect that you are either putting out the fires too quickly or you are not using situation awareness properly... Have you ever thought that maybe more than one ship is shooting at you? Perhaps study and remember what ships do what when firing HE and if you are unable to combat them keep out of their way.

@mtm78 For you...

Wow, you have been hurt, want a hug...? But, yes cannot fault your statement at all...

Plenty of players want to be a marathon runner before learning to walk...

How much experience have you had as a DD? As a DD main: 1. I WILL NOT cap if there is an enemy Radar Cruiser lurking nearby.. Start the cap, enemy flicks the radar, DD's dies... then what use am I? 1a. I will not cap if my RDF puts any enemy at close range and I cannot see it... 1b. I will not cap if the people in my team suddenly abandon me unless I am absolutely sure no enemy is near. 1c. I will not cap just to satisfy other team members if I think it is unsafe to make the attempt. (After all I want to stay alive too.) 2. I have had too many games where I spot and the bigger guns refuse to kill priority targets. Now for a DD the priority targets are the ships that carry radar.... Have you bothered to research the radar capabilities of your opponents so that you can help your DD allies? 3. My DD is NOT a capital ship and has a poor Health Pool compared to others... 4. If as a DD main I smoke it is to either camouflage a team member being targeted or if I have been ambushed and need to escape... 4a. I will also smoke to give my team the chance to fire from cover whilst I continue to spot for them... Ships like Worcester, Mino, Smolensk love the extra cover to fire on the enemy... 5. If there are CV's in game DD game play has to be cautious... the CV can keep a DD perma spotted long enough for a DD to die either from bombs or shells.... Perhaps you should play DD's a little more before you criticise because looking at your stats you hardly play them... Just so you understand that I know what I am talking about...my recent stats.

Were you in there too? Sorry bud not to say hello...

No change from yesterday then...

Met @Excavatus just now... both on the same team but oh boy what an absolutely useless team... he might even tell you himself. I am dead within 6 minutes because my support runs and leaves me standing... Excavatus had problems his side with Island hugging BB's and either a drunk or drugged Loyang Captain and a CV that couldn't hit a Barn door at 5 feet...... He and his Clan member had no chance..

As it was recently with the Germans perhaps?

Most people know that there have been problems with the EU server with Telekom.de but I wonder if this problem has migrated? Yesterday and today I have suffered late game entry, freezes in game for up to 3 seconds with higher than normal ping. I have checked my ISP, broadband speeds, checked the game by the integrity repair and everything seems normal. I am based in the UK. Anyone else having similar experiences?

Had a quick encounter with @Yedwy today.. He being in his Saipan and me in my Gearing... He promised to be gentle and then tried to bomb the out of me... However, his aim was off today and so I escaped unscathed... I then took out 5 of his aircraft before he went looking for easier foes. A little banter at the start and some good port conversation after... what the games about really.

Bayern was my best performer. The trick is to ignore that fact she has four turrets, angle your hull and only concentrate on the forward ones. Have at least a level 14 Commander for manual secondaries also... only -15% but it does make a difference, take a secondary flag and the flag that give +20% to your repair... When you have targets slow your speed to 1/4 or even reverse and if you reverse keep your angle, in reverse I found the shells did not spread as readily and aimed right I even got citadel hits on some enemy BB's ...

Have you got the Bayern? She does very well in this event.. If you're going to use Dallas try to work alongside a BB and stay on the opposite side of the incoming fire as the BB acts as a shield. Also, if you have two ships together is seems enemy shells have a tendency to miss..

I found the T-61 was the toughest of all DD's; The little just would not die....

Finally got there. Some real numb brains in the game tonight... up and down like a window cleaner on a ladder... Anyway, so I am at Rank 2 with 2 stars, after 8 minutes we are 4 ships left and the enemy has 5. The enemy has 2 of 3 cap zones...it is looking grim... So I ask Dallas to join me... "Do you wanna kick some butt?" ( Now it is important as a Cruiser to stay on the opposite side of the BB to where the enemy fire is coming from) and do you know what he gets it.. with Dallas I sink 2 of 4 and he gets the other 2... Leander nails the DD and it's Rank 1... I am glad that it is over...

I have every German BB from Tier 5 (Konig) to Tier 10 (Grosser Kurfurst) (Including all the premiums) I notice dispersion has changed for the worse. I favour Bayern over PEF in ranked because PEF AP behaves like a ping pong ball unless you're firing at Cruisers. Scharnhorst still performs very well if you forget the fact you have a third turret aft and concentrate on your front turrets only.. In my opinion you must attack at a slight angle and enemy shells bounce off you. Tirpitz and Bismarck guns under perform now in comparison to when I got them but their secondaries still perform well from 10.6km. FDG guns again under performs at distances over 15km but in close they still sting and give me some success with citadel hits, secondary builds are still good however... I haven't played my GK for a while but with a secondary build she plays well for me (or did). On every BB that I have from Tier 7 or higher I have a level 19 Commander on with manual secondary fire control..

7 days remaining... hurry back.

If I am in my DD my primary role is to spot the enemy and avoid stronger DD's like Shinonome... I then go for caps when the enemy withdraw or are destroyed or if I can cap unmolested..don't like being molested in game . I never thought to record this game but yes I was the primary spotter. I gave up last night after 3 games with straight defeats... perhaps the adult players were out on the town or grabbing an early night leaving the children in game... who knows.

In those games where I had witnessed AFK players all seemed to be of German origin... But, I noticed too that, in the games I played I had several where it took me longer to get in to the game and my ping was much higher than normal... 36 seconds into game I think was my longest. Perhaps it is a wider issue than just the German ISP?

I took my PEF out last night and was extremely disappointed in the performance... My AP shells did more bouncing than penetrating. My only claim to fame from all the shells fired in the whole game was a double citadel hit to an Aoba...shells fired at BB's did absolutely nothing.. Today, I am going to try Bayern at least the reload is 8 seconds faster....

Got to rank 4 easily enough and then it was like I hit a shoal of morons game after game.. Suicide DD's, YOLO CV's and BB's that decide to go 1v1 against DD's and wonder why they die.. Look at the screenshots..In this game I get less than 4k damage because the team melts away and I finish top...

If you can get behind the enemy team and just keep firing torpedoes, just keep spotting, you don't need to push anyone out because eventually either the torpedoes get them or they move into open water and they're finished.
