Here's the link: Better there than not at all.

Just recently WG has been active on reddit asking about maps and their deficiencies. They are evaluating the responses now and it looks like tears might be the first one to be changed, as most replies included it as a bad map.

Not only for you, the ship is gone from the shop and not in the tech tree. With only a "meh" from LittleWhiteMouse and an overall negative perception they probably sold very few of them.

Most clan tags are unreadable under the standard theme and the classic theme. Dark theme is alright, easy on the eyes.

Eugen is the worst tier 8 premium and absolutely not worth the money ATM. WG also stated that they don't care about both Hipper and Eugen and the fact that their stats are abysmal. The only way to play both ships is to hang back and let others tank for you, while you slowly (thanks to lowest DPM at tier) fire at targets.

While very useful, the skill should never be the first pick, at least not universally. It should always boil down to which line the captain will be commanding. IJN DDs profit more from TAE, as they should never be spotted. Germans have hydro, and an extra charge from SI is worth more than HP at first. And gunboats profit immensely from DE. I can imagine that USN DDs, as brawlers, would benefit the most from SE as first pick.

For third skill there are several options: -Superintendent - +1 Smoke and Speed Boost is always good. -Demolition Expert - Adds +2% Fire Chance almost doubling what you have (5% -> 7%). -Basic Firing Training - Drops your reload from 5s to 4,5s, making you the second fastest firing DD at tier 3. Also adds to your AA rating, giving you a better rating than most t4 cruisers. Fourth skill boils down to whether you want to go for torps or guns: -Inertia Fuze High Explosive - As stated above this skill will let you penetrate bow and stern sections of most BBs. -Concealment Expert - drops your concealment to 5,8km, giving you a 200m stealth torp window. -Advanced Firing Training - this skill is not worth it as your shells have bad arcs due to low velocity. If you just want a 10p funboat experience you should go with DE and CE, for 6% fire chance and lower detectability.

The link to the current month's events is on the main page at the right side below the links to the premium shop and the WG store. The link is called "Get Latest Missions".

Nope, with it you can reliably pen the following: -Myogi - bow and stern sections. -Wyoming - bow and stern. -South Carolina - bow, stern, and superstructure. -König - bow and stern. -Orion - bow and stern. These ships have 19mm of armor at those sections, so a 102mm without IFHE will shatter most of its shells. With IFHE you trade 1% fire chance for penetration of those sections, with DE you actually improve fire chance by 1%. So you can have a 6% fire chance and guaranteed penetration on large sections of most BBs you'll meet. Which is better than 7% fire chance and guaranteed shatters.

That is the least helpful post in this topic. Have you even bothered understanding the fact that I have asked about which one of those three ships would be the best captain trainer? I don't care about grinding a 19p captain, I'm looking for a good ship to retrain my captains and have some fun while at it. To illustrate, your response is like ordering a pizza at a McDonalds, won't work.

After the removal of the Belfast WG needs a new concept for a premium cruiser in the RN CL line. Just taking an existing ship and making it better is not the way to go. I'd rather see something new and interesting, like HMS Dido. Besides this is just a weekly event chain, and not a campaign.

After some testing I think the combination of BFT, DE, and IFHE will be perfect for the Vampire. That's a 13p captain, but still. I don't see the point of taking CE as the ship is just not a good torpedo slinger.

Well the moment the weekly event chain was named "Battle of the River Plate" the amount of choices became limited to one. Because while I would love to see the HMS Exeter offered in the shop, the only premium that took part in this battle was the Graf Spee. So no surprises there.

Yeah, my mistake, corrected it. Thanks for pointing it out. Sure, against BBs DE + IFHE are going to make a world of difference. But I'm looking at Vampire as a DD hunter first and tailoring the first 10p around it.

With the DD fire duration nerf the RoF has become more important, because most of the time hunting DDs in the Vampire is what you are going to do. Vampire has a really good RoF of 48 Shots per minute, compare this with the other tier 3 DDs: -Wakatake - 36 -Wickes - 25,7 (Can't fire one gun per side due to positioning) -G-101 - 60 -Derzki - 36 -Campbeltown - 17,7 (Can't fire one gun per side due to positioning) -Phra Ruang - 36 Only the G-101 has a better RoF and that ship has popguns for armament. With BFT you have a RoF of 53,3, and most of your enemies won't have the skill to measure up. Last, but not least, Vampire has a bad fire chance. It's better to improve the ships strengths first and leave DE for when the captain earns 13p. PS: I really like the ship. PPS: Edited the wrong Derzki values.

Yeah, I tried to find as many images as I could, but I was very unlucky since the media section has only a few images. Getting a section on the page with wallpapers would be great.

Thanks for doing this. I'll want to participate and if lady luck is with me then: 1 - Atago 2 - T-61 if available or Krispy Kreme if not 3 - Doubloons

Both economy and utility flags are great, but people need to know what flags are worth it. Some ships profit from a very small selection, others would need more than 10 slots to use everything they can profit from.

You're right, Scharnhorst has worse AA than the Gneisenau A hull.

November Foxtrot is really good in combination with Jack of All Trades. Many consumables lose from 8s to 24s from their countdown when both are present on the ship, and that's a lot. And don't get me started on Jack Dunkirk and his 10% JoAT.

The event summaries have been consolidated in a monthly overview. Next week is the Battle of River Plate week with extras for RN CLs and Graf Spee.

Let him be, he's not playing anymore, he's just a troll. Engaging him in a discussion is like talking to a wall about free speech. Utterly pointless. But having said that I must digress. It surprises me that so many people have a slave mentality where getting scraps from the table is seen as great charity. It blows their minds when others stand up and demand fair play and equality.

Scharnhorst has the Gneisenau's A hull with a mediocre AA suite, while the B hull of the Gneisenau has dual purpose secondaries which add a lot of dakka to AA.

There's the following this weekend: -1x day - earn 250 ribbons in one battle get 5x Juliet Charlie and November Foxtrot flags. -Repeatable - hit 2x citadels in a battle, earn +50% commander XP. -1x account - Set 30 fires get 20x Clash of Elements camo (fire) -1x account - Cause 15x floods get 20x Clash of Elements camo (water) So in total you can earn 15x Juliet Charlie and November Foxtrot flags (5x extra if you can play a game between 3am and 6am on Monday morning), 40x CoE camo (+100% free XP), and as many times +50% commander XP as you can.
