    Update 0.8.8: 16/08??

    Those times are US aren't they Pacific Daylight and Eastern Standard. So the 16th is right for them as they update a day earlier than us. Our update will be 17th with times quoted UTC or CET

    What ships should I be working towards?

    Hi and welcome to the forums. My advice would be to try as many nations and ship classes as you can, to get a feel for what you like and suits your play style. Watch some streamers and you tube reviews of the various nations and lines so you can see what their main traits are. But above all else, don't rush up the tiers too quickly, you will simply get frustrated. Don't worry that you don't think you are strategic, the more you play, you will start to understand what to do. And the minimap is the best tool you have in game make it big and try to keep track of where everyone is going, during the battle. Have fun .

    RN cruisers....

    Oh yes we had several. HMS Renown and Repulse being 2 I'd love to see in game.

    german battleships are not "viable"...

    It's not German BB's that are broken. It's the game meta. It simply doesn't suit the get in closer and use your secondaries play style of the KM BB's, or should I say. The majority of the player base doesn't think it does, because BB's have to camp because of HE spam and those pesky torpedoes.

    Torpedo spotting times

    Ok found it i think x5 compression. so thats 375kts or 192.9 m/s which equates to approx 18 secs of spotting

    Torpedo spotting times

    May have missed something really fundamental here apologies if I have. We have been discussing in clan how long you have to spot a Mogador torp doing 75knts if you popped a Friesland hydro. So hydro gives you 3.5km torp spotting or 3500m A 75knt torp travels at 38.5m/s or there abouts. That should equate approx 89 sec's. But there is no way I see any torp in game for 90 sec's at 3.5km. What am I missing?

    Torpedo spotting times

    Thats what we thought and it makes sense just wondering what that value is. Thank you for the quick response

    When is enough types of currencies enough?

    I agree, but there are players who just can't resist the temptation to buy. Case in point the NTC and people wanting Colbert and Ohio. It would not suprise me in the least if come Christmas Colbert and Ohio appear in the Armada pack. A huge amount of cash, but a way of getting the ships without having to do the multiple grinds.

    We can worry when the Vietnamese dong appears and what we get for that

    When is enough types of currencies enough?

    It will never stop. Tis is a free to play game, and WG will continue to find new ways to extract hard cash from us. It will only stop when an individual decides not to invest real cash to get the rewards.

    Ships that we want.

    We need Renown and Repulse for the RN, I'd also like to see Tone for IJN. I'm suprised we don't have the USN's most decorated ship USS New Jersey, although we have so many US BB's already. And I'd love to see De Ruyter for my Dutch friends.

    premiums in need of a rework or buff ?

    Texas feels like she could do with a slight buff, her guns and AA are still great, but she feels like she has been power creep, maybe speed or rudder buff would help And I think Sims could do with a little bit of love too.

    Frustrating Potato Teams

    I hear you. Been doing alot of Ops myself. Only way to face randoms is in a div. Even then there is not a lot you can do if the remainder of your team decides to kill itself. And since most of what I want to grind now is in T8, I have the joy of MM too.

    Frustrating Potato Teams

    Raging in chat is useless. The worst of them can't be bothered to learn the basics of the game, and I'm sure some have no idea chat exists. Having a break helps, but I find it just makes coming back more painful, you know whats coming. So being bipolar I can just dig into my chill pill supply. I do end up asking myself sometimes, if I need to take a chill pill for a game that's supposed to be for fun, why the feck do I bother.

    Clanbattles S06

    The matches feel more dynamic and less campy. Also doesn't seem like there is that killer combo team which when you face it you immediately think 'This is gonna be a hard nut to crack'.

    I hadn't had an SC for a couple of months, so I'm happy. And the 1500 steel is the best reward for me
