I know I'm breaking my own rules, in posting something inferior than my last post. But for a good reason. It's a week day and I'm after coal, so, to accomplish 3 containers in a short time I saved my t6 ships for Aegis with the first battle bonus untouched + signals and special camo. And I picked. Kuma + Phoenix + Emil Bertin + Furutaka and finally Omaha to do the first half of the "heavy lifting". All of them did well, they still are good ships. I'm posting this for sentimental reasons (because of the up coming IFHE changes) with my Omaha without IFHE and CE, I burned to the ground a Scharnhorst earning a arsonist award in the process. ( I'm glad it wasn't a Gneisenau ). ahhhhh, good old days...

How Exeter holds against Graf Spee ?

they have been crying a lot for a long time now.

Perhaps, you can citadel Kumas with IFHE with buddy at some range (happen to me yesterday in Aegis). that will be awful. Even while playing BBs, a wasted 4 points skill , FP, and a waste of the player itself, RP and heal management gone. More than two tiers worth in Cls. Don't forget German and French BBs, at least. for how many tiers worth? Not only on the 380's mm but also on the secondaries. Maybe t5 will be the new t6/t7?

It's only t6-t7 ships... Guess which ships I play the most. Just guess which BBs I play (regarding plating changes) yeah, I will be heavily nerfed, I will be shafted when I pick a cruiser and when I pick a BB. at this rate, I will hand down pavement stones among the crew to throw to other ships, subs included.

beware of the up coming changes. As the thing is going (WIP) the 152's/155's HE will pen up to 25 mm instead of the usual 24 mm. IFHE will cease to have -3% of fire change and will subtract a whopping -50% from the base fire change. Buddy if I'm not mistaken has a base fire change of 11%, so with IFHE will be 5.5%, if you add signals and DE you can go as high as 8.5% fire change. In top of that the IFHE penetration values will change from t1 to t7, instead of the current 30%,, they will have 25%. According to what is being looked at or tested. Cl's will be able to penetrating same tier cruisers but not the plating of same tier BB's. (I don't get this, Bayern has 25 mm bow and stern and 152 will pen 30 mm and 155 will pen 25 mm). But the MM it's +2 -2, so....

Apparently WG, and therefore us... if you don't care, you should. if you add Flamu video he speaks about radar from stealth, high or low concealment (depending how you look at it), crazy high speed shells and so on. I'm definitely will go for them, I'm a huge fan of the Russian Lines. But at the same time it got me thinking. Which other line will struggle with this so call Russian Bias? yeap, the Russian line itself. Kirov, Budyonny, Shchors, Chapayev, DM Donskoy and Moskva They will be very different from each other, we will have ships from two different Russias. Who cares? Right? I'm current at t9, played t8 and heading for t10,. Buddy and Shchors are responsible for a good amount of enjoyment in this game, I had so many good moments with them and i'm still having, they are special to me as a few others. Will the new up coming ships ruined that? Of 9 ships, so far, I only like 2, will I find another Shchors or Buddy in the new ones? So, I care.

I tried WOT once and did some bootcamp , then I uninstalled. Lately I'm seeing some Claus Kellerman's videos. And I installed the game again. Now is happening the same as happened with WoWs back in the day but instead of being stuck in t1 forever, in WOT I can't even start a battle. the game keep telling me to pick a tank I click on it nothing happens. The UI is not intuitive. How can I start a freaking battle? How can I make I am died button to work?

According to Jingles Players from RU server believe that there is Bias against them. And after seeing the stats of up coming RU ships and if the RU server is down in numbers since 2015. 1000 m/s shells and radar that can radar from a good range. One can argue that WG are taking steps to stop the decreasing numbers.

Perhaps they heard your complains? If London is a premium they added an extra layer of difficulty ? either way, 20 set on fire or (not and) hits to citadel is Perfect for IGOR or SMOLENSK and I don't have either.

sorry to burst your bubble. But that already exists Saving Transylvania, one of the Halloween Ops.

And he will get them.. with time, it doesn't have to be 2k over 65% could be 4k over 55% or something in this lines. It's not like the OP has to be somewhere in a hurry. or a deadline to do it

@SamVic So, you want to throw away I don't know how many ships, a couple of 19 pointers captains and 3k battles done and whatever you already have? For what? for stats? Fair enough. But How long will you take to have the ships that you already have, the 19 point captains that you have, and all those things that you already have? A year, maybe two? It makes no sense to me. The game will change in the future with the up coming subs, IFHE changes and whatnot. So, no guarantees. At least you have the ships, the captains and whatnot. Start over from scratch and take one year or maybe two to reach the level of things you already have. or taking one year or maybe two "to clean" your stats Man, just "clean your stats".

I see where you getting at. And yes t7 MM now is different from what it use to be, but it's not horrible This past week I've been playing t8 and.. oh boy . In the paper, the t8 it's stronger, shoots further and so on than the t7 but it's also noticeable slower, clumsiest and the difference in range it's not that big of a deal, in fact, the t7 with spotter plane has more range. I did 60 battles with the t8. Do you know how many of them I said ,I only wish I had the t7 here? All of them. The t8 it's not a good ship or a bad ship, it's just a ship. While the t7 it's one of my go to ships, there's that.

Why? it isn't?

Damn. I knew it, I was missing something. The ARP Ships thing.

Good for you. Stick to your guns that i'll stick with mine.. I prefer HE.

That's a bit steep. I can assure you I take more than 3 minutes to restart the all thing.

I must say, this is a bunch of crap. ending operations this way. we had quite a few of them, once. Now there is just a couple. If the reason behind this decision is from economic nature ´, then change the economics, don't pull out the ops.

Yesterday all my random battles didn't count to the daily missions, only co-op and Ops.

Perhaps they are your cup of tea. they are not mine. The great majority of Italian cruisers are in a clear disadvantage. they are full of drawbacks. - short duration smoke ( one can wait it out to blapp them) and a considered detection while shooting in smoke - No Damage over Time at all. - Low DPM - citadel and armour are weak - Useless torps, very slow torps - Low damage The only Hail Mary , they can be ignored if there are other ships near them. Low priority target. As a cruiser main I don't see why I would play them, when I'm playing BBs, well, I don't think much of them either. HE is not only for BBs, it's for everything. you could have Low DPM but High ROF But Low DPM and Low ROF? Extra squishy, nah, you can keep it.

No. It's a throwing into the garbage issue. Sap sucks The Italian line as is, it's just a joke. Easy to citadel, no fires, slow ROF, useless torps. All that is undesired in a cruiser, in a cruiser . And they don't do much for my potential damage, when I'm in my Bayern.

Well... I like it. Lately the Russian line was power creped by other lines in my favourite list, they used to be my favourite line now they are one of my favourite lines. It's time to be my favourite line again. Regarding Italian ships, they are trash, 90% of them. What I'm worried with, it's the IFHE changes. They will turn the majority of my ships in Italian ships. Thank God for the new incoming Russians ships.

PT or IFA (optional) And add hydro with this build... In some cases you can add Hydro and radar.

A thing that I don't do often. Here I am playing mostly for fun in a casual manner, chasing my goals with no worries or hurries, just enjoying the scenery. My main source of information is the forum . But now, out of the blue I'm feeling like WWII Germany, in the sense I'm fighting in too many fronts. Apparently I have roughly 2 months to get. 1- Moskva Since I unlocked Buddy and I really, really like Buddy, I knew Moskva would be my first t10 ship, but then I unlocked Shchors and I really, really liked Shchors, now I'm at t8 with a meh captain, ready to go to random without a fully upgraded ship. 2- Smolensk and Jean Bart I don't have coal for the both of them, as is I have to pick one of them, but i'll try to get them both ( I'm already been helped with the decision Smolensk or Jean Bart, in another topic). But I'm delaying that decision to the last moment, meanwhile i'll try to get both. So, in this topic, as I'm scrambling for a solution, planning on the fly. What's the best way to get around this. I'm already playing with Chapayev. I have one 18 point captain at t6 and a 19 point captain at t7 Russian line, should I trade captains? Opening containers, from trying your luck up until now, to more resources (I'm 189 k short of coal). what else can I do? What do you would do? To try to get them all done in 2 months Thank you
