Spreadsheet says it works ! Ypa!!! break out the vodka and get ready for Roubles to flow in !!!!!

No comrade, One Smolensk bolted to each side. If American Capitalist pigs can have Massachusetts BB with an Atlanta strapped to each side, then we can have something similar .... Oh God what a terrible thought, A Vlad with a Smolensk of secondaries strapped to each side. I think I've just announced a new RU 2ndry BB.

Turret sniping is already a thing. If I'm kiting away from or pushing into a well angled enemy, I will aim to take out his turrets. The number of players that suddenly think it's ok to turn away and expose their broadside to bring their rear or center turrets into play, is amazing. Plus if he doesn't, it's one less turret of shells he can throw at me.

SMS Derfflinger would disagree with you ...

This is funny, but sad as it also feels to be Oh so true.

I don't mind the powercreep if WG were actually to follow up behind and give some love to the older lines which fall out of fashion to redress the balance, That might actually help keep things a bit more balanced and help the game meta to settle into something a bit more consistent.

^THIS^ But you are asking WG to re-balance everything. Plus all those Premium and Freemium ships that rely on IFHE in the eyes of their owners will be nerfed. It's like when WG reworked smoke and had to offer all Belfast owners a refund. They would have to do the same for a lot more boats. They simply can't afford to do that, or piss off the player's that love their HE spammers.

Yes it's been mentioned on another thread, and seems to be connected to a mod you may have installed. remove all mods and see if it still happens.

As already said, all premiums earn extra credits, but all the % modifiers are hidden, and they can be modified by camo's flags and prem time just like silver ships of course. I seem to remember the values for a few ships being tweaked a while back.

The real money conversion rate does seem high, and with the ease with which one can earn FXP these days. elite XP now seems next to useless, unless you are prepared to pay through the nose to convert it. I've always thought it might be nice for WG to give us a few 'special' boats and maybe camo's that could be exchanged for elite XP - lots of it of course. Boats that are historical maybe and that are one for the ship collectors. Players have a choice then spend real cash to convert to FXP, or use to buy a ship of special interest, that doesn't have to be competitive or appear OP, or give boats a special camo paint job. Of course the issue is WG don't get cash up front for the above.

Basically WG now say the skill is not suited to the NC. You can still take it, but they don't think it's a good use of 4pts.

^THIS^

Too my great surprise, 2 AP salvo's were all that were needed to see off a Yoshino too. That happened twice, both times the Yoshino decided to park flat broadside to a channel, clearly hoping to drop his long torps.

I took great joy in ending a Smolensk with HIV AP shells yesterday during CB. My disappointment was that it took me two salvos to do it.

As soon as WG have milked every ruble they can from Smolensk, the next stronk RU boat will be released, probably around the start time for a competitive mode at it's tier. But don't worry comrades, Spreadsheet says it won't be OP, it's use is very situational.

I would suggest ... I honestly believe, even in " Wargaming Accounts Department " there is a true passion and commitment to exploit the history of Warships, and make as much money as they can in the process, from the fan boys. As a more accurate statement. I have no issue with WG making money. They are a business and the staff have to paid, and the bills paid, and this is a F2P game. What I find more difficult to stomach, but again I can understand why as you have to give the customer what they want (or convince them they need it), is when history fact is manipulated to give a false impression. Paper upgrades to ships to make them fit in with WG's vision for the game Or, unfounded statements like. RU BB's if built would surely have been the greatest boats built, when the world know as fact that the Soviet Union couldn't build the armor to the thickness or standard required. And I am increasingly concerned, that in order to play the competative modes, and get the best rewards, you have to pay to achieve that, by having the newest stronkest boats. Competative WoWS is looking more P2W with every new season as it comes.

I suggest you go and look at the history books. RN operations may not have been as glamorous or make good action movies like other nations but they played a vital role in WW2. https://www.naval-history.net/WW2CampaignRoyalNavy.htm

Welcome back @BeauNidl3. We still have a couple of spaces available for anyone with a genuine history interest.

Believe it or not we have a little known litle used History section on the forum ...https://forum.worldofwarships.eu/forum/158-historical-discussion/

And because she is premium they cannot nerf her, unless they break their own stated doctrine about premium ships, and offer everyone who already has her a cash refund.

@MrConway, @CrysantosIs this a known issue? If not would you like me to post it in Current Update / bugs ?

OK can anyone explain this image to me. This is a screen shot from my div mates planes. I am in Warspite and as you can see from the mini map, I should be visible to him.

National Pride, goes a long way

He's Dutch
