Aragathor

A Sangamon class escort carrier at T6 that plays like Saipan, to commemorate the last stand of the tin can sailors. Dido-class cruiser. HMS Renown (1936 refit). ORP Burza. SMS Lützow.

If anyone thinks these ships were free, then they don't value their time.

Nothing changes. WG is just unwilling to make the CB experience positive to clans that aren't part of the 0.01% Hurricane crowd. Border skating cowards that can juke any shot, bravo teams already clubbing for easy wins, and now with the added flavor of premium ships for an even worse experience than the T10 CBs. Congratulations WG, you managed to make CBs even worse.

The more I play this season, the more I realize how garbage silver T8 cruisers are.

The Hill isn't that bad. With a decent captain it can perform. The PEF is a joke, just because the 24 guys still playing it can perform well in it, doesn't mean it's anywhere near good. But that's by design, the first German battlecruiser is a garbage boat no one likes to play save for a very small group.

There might be something small planned for gamescom. I think we will see the release of the Lidlfried in a state that will mirror the first version of the Graf Zeppelin.

Just wait for the Lidlfried. That ship will make Azuma look like a beast. Besides Azuma does well in weekly stats. Kii costs 46,24€, Roma, Vanguard, Graf Zeppelin and Enterprise cost more. And Graf is much much worse. Name one independent African country with an active blue/green water navy in the time period between 1905-1950. Yes, because IJN was so important that they were the first nation to have all lines released, the first nation to have an alternate color scheme and second flag, and the first and one of two nations to have a permanent campaign created for a legendary captain. Hell even now we have a special weekend event centered around the IJN/USN operations.

They are much better, in fact compared side by side the Aigle looks horrible. You can look them up on WoWS FT.

Remember that you are talking to someone with more forum posts than battles.

Strange, looking at the ships in WoWSFT it appears their guns have the same stats. Cognitive bias? I really like that one, so much I grabbed the event camo. The improvements to Guepard may appear slight, but they can felt in the game.

Please don't improve the autopilot anymore. Your last improvement broke it for a lot of people.

Yeah, I'd rather have smoke and a good constant RoF than a gimmick like MBRB. Aigle for me is a much better ship than the Guepard. PS: Aigle's torps are much better damage wise.

Yup, 18s base compared to 36s on the Gremlin.

A big nope on the last one. Only Lemming and Gremlin have the old slow traverse. Everyone else got a buff to 18s, so from T5 you have a constant turret traverse until T9, at T10 you get nerfed by 0.7deg/s because Khaba needs to be worse than Tashkent everywhere.

Hidden achievement. Torp it to get it.

Wrong Vauquelin. There have been several. You want to look at Jean Vauquelin, a French naval officer during the seven year's war.

Sit down for this one: Something to club the seals with, from 2nd stage of Yamamoto I got some time ago.

Got two this month, got two in June, got three in May, one in April, three in March, one in February. I'm a Beluga.

And you won't be treated like trash by WG. Instead you will be treated like almost trash.

I could sing you a song about how overnerfed Khaba is right now. But WG shills would come and start whining. Don't play the ship, when Kleber comes it will be a port queen anyway.

The resources previously used on bug fixes were allocated to making what the community really wants, more premium ships and lootboxes.

Belfast and Sinop brought me R1. 2 OP boats just dumping on everyone else.

Not the most powerful, but having a limited budget and low requirements makes it good enough: CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600 Mainboard: MSI A320M gaming pro GPU: MSI Radeon RX 580 Armor 8GB RAM: 16GB G.Skill AEGIS F4-3000C16D I also hate any gimmicks, so there are no lights or colors.

I love the Summer Sale! It's great, WG convincing me again and again, that they would rather go broke than offer people anything of value. When they will start letting people go I won't shed a tear.

Let me preempt my post by admitting that the Scharnhorst is still a good ship. It requires more and more skill to get decent results due to changes to the game. There are several reasons why ships like the Scharnhorst are in a worse and worse spot. First, is the fact that all 3 of the German lines have been hurt by the changes to the game more than other nations. DDs with their Hydro are in a bad spot as that gimmick doesn't compensate for the other weaknesses in the current meta, even with CVs taken out of the equation. Cruisers are too slow and lumbering to work closer to the enemy, so they stay at range as weak HE spammers and rarely AP users. BBs have been powercrept badly as all their strengths have been eclipsed by other lines that can do it too. Second, the ships have design problems. Example could be the cruiser line that doesn't have a flavor, it's just a mix of ideas working against each other. Or the BB line where the main artillery, which is already one of the weakest in game for the class, works against you to guarantee a bad game. Third, slow reaction time and bad decisions made by WG to compensate. The Hindenburg/Roon nerf combined with massive buffs to other lines competing for the role of flanker, then a useless extra heal that ignores the fact that the ship dies form alpha and not dot damage. And now the half measure of a buff when the ship is still hurting. To be fair, sometimes the buff is right on the money, like the Yorck gun changes. But we waited far too long for the "balance" team to react. Fourth, there is something in the way WG balances ships that is horribly wrong. Let me explain it below: Fifth, WG abandoned balancing low-mid tiers, as positive changes are applied now mostly to T8+ ships. Example, no 105mm pen buff for Scharnhorst.
