Hello Pay to Win, because Free to Play is for suckers. No wallet, no bonus. I don't need to go on. The decision to create a situation in which finishing the collection for free is improbable just shows the direction the game is taking. This looks like the first step towards killing the game for free users.

The upcoming changes were discussed here: In short, it's most likely a ploy to create pressure by offering overpriced limited time bundles.

Can't wait to get it.

Funny thing they aren't available anymore, and haven't been for a long time. Also Kongo has been powercreeped on. No it wasn't, and here's why. In my first post I have not asked for the best way to retrain captains. No, what I asked for was a subjective comparison of the Nagato A hull (Mutsu), Amagi A hull (Ashitaka), and the Kii. My purpose of this whole topic was to ask which of these ships is a good captain trainer and also a fun ship to play. Several people here just ignored it and went on about elite captain XP. I have stated early on that I don't care about it. Getting a captain to 19p and then earning ECXP is a grind, which is too similar to a job to be appealing to me. So your post, and the posts before you about ECXP are irrelevant to the topic at hand. Having cleared that, I'd like to share my end result: I own both the Kii and the Mutsu. Both ships are fun to play, however I still need to find my sea legs on the Kii. The Mutsu for all its weak points is a good IJN ship as it plays like the Nagato (well, duh). And anyone looking for a decent premium to retrain IJN BB captains should consider it first over the Kii. I do not own the Ashitaka, but all of the opinions I heard about it were bad, so caveat emptor. PS: Be wary of the Musashi, for all its strengths it's a high tier camper. And those aren't fun to play. Thank Bob I have the Missouri, now that's a ship you can play forward.

That would actually be a neat idea. Historically more or less correct, since the Asashio was the Kagero's predecessor class. Plus, it would offer some unique game play at T7. Not having to compete at tier with monsters like the Akizuki would help too. Hell, I would probably buy it at T7. Because of this, WG will not put the Asashio at T7 and instead gimmick the ship to death, while wondering why the reviews are bad and sales low.

Not interested, not with the noobcannons. 4x150mm guns with a slow reload on a T8 DD is a recipe for disaster. They barely work on the Gaede and I won't be using them on the Z23. Having a ship with only 4 guns that shoot slowly compared with ships like the Kidd or Harekaze is suicide. German DDs are sold as DD hunters but you can't hunt anyone when the opposition outshoots you.

It's not even the hydro that's the problem. The high tier meta just doesn't have BBs going forward. So to attack its only prey the Asashio would need to go around the enemy to attack it's rear. And with other cruisers and destroyers being able to eat it alive...

Won't happen. WG designers decided that the HMS Cossack will be special ship that has bad armament combined with hydro and stealth. They know that Royal Navy fanboys will jump on that ship and buy, no matter how horrible it is. But we should still rejoice as the Ballsack will at least be playable compared to the Asashio, a ship that has is a detriment to whichever team it lands in. Because being vastly inferior compared to the silver ships at tier shows balance. /s And a personal message to WG. If you haven't noticed people, don't want gimmicky ships. They want solid performing ships. Adding gimmicks to inferior designs won't make it better. With your decisions you are hurting the WG bottom line.

I am very happy for those changes, they have convinced me to spend my money elsewhere. I am not going to buy ships that WG tries to make interesting by adding useless gimmicks instead of fixing the glaring problems. That hydro on the Cossack will mean nothing when he runs into a Blyskawica/Leningrad/Minsk. And a Mahan will laugh in 127mm when the Cossack tries to brawl him. And the new torps are still a joke thanks to the 1x4 launcher. The DW torps on the Asashio are a nerf not a buff. Not being able to hit DDs and CL/CAs makes the ship useless, especially since the PA DDs at least have guns and smoke to fall back on and everyone else has both decent torps and guns.

Here's a closer look: It's the USS Skate (SSN-578), the first submarine to surface on the north pole.

In my opinion it's better to be aware how many enemies can fire at you first and only then pop smoke. Wasting smoke while attacking one DD or an engaged BB is a waste.

I recently received the Kreme from an SC. And you know what? I'm happy about the ship. It's quirky. I would have never bought it. The 10p captain also doesn't hurt.

The way you should play the Huang He is to play it as the boat that goes in second to last. Let others pass you and take the hits. Always make sure you can pop smoke and drop to 1/4 speed. This way you'll be very hard to hit. Your target priority should be DD -> BB -> CL/CA -> CV. You eat DDs alive since you have decent guns and great secondaries (2/3 of the Grozovoi guns on each side, with only a slightly lower damage). As to skills, my setup for the first 10p is PT, AR, DE, IFHE. Afterwards you can grab AFT to improve AA and Secondary range. CE should either go last or be ignored for a combination of either SI or BFT and SSE. I have a lot of fun in coop with this setup so it may work for you too.

Since we cannot change the camo on the Dragon ships, can you add the standard cruiser camo benefits to the ships? Right now the ships are hurt by the fact that they cannot mount any camos.

I'm in the same boat, I fear the ship that we will see released will be just a joke after WG rebalances it into the ground. And most likely the testers like LWM will get the ship after it's released, so that people will be lured into buying it based on the previous reviews.

Color me surprised, another underwhelming and boring IJN premium. It looks like WG either has a grudge against the Japanese or they have no idea how to create interesting ships. I'm going to pass hard with this one, like most of the IJN premiums it's not worth the money.

Be prepared for lots of salt from players seeing through the rip off. One of a kind 24h sale, get the Shinyhorse, a port slot and a middle finger from WG for only 99.99€.

I had a great weekend. Had some fun shopping with my sister and her husband on Saturday, spent the Sunday playing P&P with friends. Only went for the first crate in WoWS by playing some coop. A great weekend guys, you should try it too.

The best summary of this ranked season for me. The level of play was abysmal this season and most of the time I couldn't bring myself to play ranked compared with random. Not only over Christmas, but also parallel to the two Christmas campaigns. I decided pretty early that I'm more interested in the campaigns, since the rewards for ranked were really meager.

Here's a question to everyone who has played the oggy after the split, is the ship too weak for T8? Four guns, lots of grinding until the torps go from 2x3 to 2x5, quite visible compared to other ships and slow for a russian DD. I can't really find anything positive to say about the Oggy right now, the ship feels weak compared to the T7 Minsk. Especially since T8 ships are regularly bottom tier. Is there anything good about the Ognevoi? Or is the ship just too weak for T8?

I'm having it tomorrow. Fun times with other people. I suddenly have flashbacks of you in a Saipan. Feels bad man.

1. Description The unique anime captains have no working voice overs. 2. Reproduction steps. Play a game with the HSFHarekaze/HSF Graf Spee/any other anime collab ship with unique captain. 3. Result The voice over is nation specific instead of the anime captain's. 4. Expected result Proper voice over used. This bug has been reported many times before. To this day WG has not offered any update as to whether this bug affecting paid content will be fixed.

That's not true. The voice packs for special anime captains worked with the "national" settings and were never treated as normal IJN captains. WG broke them when they changed the format of the sound files in a patch. Since then the voices have not been working properly for most people. Ever since people have been telling WG about the bug but they do not act on it.

Which is a horrible thing for a premium ship at T7, because you have so many good ships at this tier like the Maas, Blyska, Leningrad. The competition is stiff so just having decent health and concealment is not enough for a premium ship. It would for a silver one though. That's an incredibly weak argument. The flag flown from the mast is irrelevant if the ship is bad, especially a ship people have to pay real money for. So instead of a fanboy argument, WG might be well advised to rework that ship from the keel up.

Hey Wargaming, I own the Gadjah Mada, why should I give you any money for a clone-ship that is worse in every category? Do you think I'm stupid? Rhetorical question. The Tribal class premium should have the early war 4x2 gun setup with good arcs, otherwise it will be a joke compare with silver ships like the Madah or ships like the Blyska.
