Nope. Mostly because it makes people who look up stats because they can't formulate an argument get really annoyed

Z23, Z46 and Z52 are fine, torpedo range works well and the reload is fast. You need to learn to play them well. Your suggestion is just another radar whine. I play all the T10 DD's other than Khaba and they're all OK.

Entirely true, in the age of air power the Yamato and her sister ship were useless in the long run, but they were important parts of the IJN main battle fleet and they did serve until nuked, but the same is true of Tirpitz that went from one AA heavy anchorage to the next, that said all 3 were considered a real threat, the RN and RAF put enormous effort into destroying the Tirpitz so in a way it served its purpose typing up resources, I'm sure the USN put in a lot of effort guarding against Yamato too. Alaska on the other hand did nothing and was scrapped in short order. I still completely fail to understand the hype, sure I'll probably end up getting it if it's got a reasonable method of acquisition, but I don't care one way or the other if it comes into the game as it's not historically interesting.

Can anyone translate the txtspk and ranting into something that makes sense? I take it he's upset about the US cruisers shooting him while sitting behind islands as they have to do or get deleted.

There are no bugs here, just a wishlist from a person that wants the game to reflect his/her/its personal vision.

@robihr in his Monty while I was playing Gearing, convincing win.

And -50% top speed, it's such a speed demon as it is.

@Ysterpyp in his Hakuryu he did his best to keep the Midways pesky planes off my Shimakaze and also dealt neatly with a Yueyang giving me a hard time. Nice win

I'm not sure now you mention it, I thought I had 220m before I finished the mission and had 231m after, but I could be very wrong as I really don't pay that much attention. I only looked because of the bong sound after I finished a game.

Completed, while a few of the missions were a bit tricky or RNG dependent, none were very hard. 11m silver + port slot + 6 point Captain, not bad considering I completed the missions just playing as I would have done anyway.

Why would you think that? Why should there be a why that it's back in the shop? It's not OP, it fact it's total junk apart from when you have potato BB drivers.

Crashing or afk and proximity spotting is about the only way.

What proof do you have on the assertion I bolded? Have you tested manual secondaries with and without IFHE at fixed targets and ranges in the Training room?

It's massively debatable on any ship, secondaries are tougher than AA mounts, but being in secondary range means you tend to be under a fair bit of fire and HE spam will take out some of the secondary mounts. While in theory IFHE might provide a slight increase to pen damage from a subset of the secondary guns it will also lower fire chance and quite honestly I really can't see the value for 4 Captain Points. If I could be bothered I'd do some testing with Bismarck, Tirpitz and GK in the training room, but I'd need a large number of test runs with precise test conditions and it seems like a rather silly amount of effort for what at best will be a small payoff in ideal circumstances. It's irrational.

That's a good trick the mission requires US DD or CV.

I've never seen it documented and short of getting a developer giving a direct yes or no on the possible 1/4 pen I doubt it's possible to find out. Not like you can see damage numbers or pens/shatters/ricochet ribbons from secondaries so there's no way to get proof even if it's confirmed one way or the other by WG staff. The only way you could test (with current free re-specs) is in the training room at a precise distance on specific targets and do it repeatedly, however the fires being RNG makes test results pretty much impossible without an absurd number of exactly similar test runs. The reason that people have reacted to the question is that blowing 4 points on IFHE for a few of the secondary guns makes no sense at all so the question shouldn't exist in the first place, it's irrational.

There's no dilemma, IFHE requires 4 Captain points that are far better value spent in other areas. IFHE for a few secondary guns to maybe pen a few specific ships should you get in secondary range isn't going to make any significant difference.

I agree that camo is also very offensive, the Hammer and Sickle is every bit as nasty as the Nazi used Swastika as the symbol of an oppressive and mass murderous regime. I'm not overly sensitive, but the Falklands was recent, I lost friends and I know survivors from ships damaged or sunk in that war.

Indeed, or just call it Boise and make it a USN premium.

To me it's very much a no, if it was a straight clone it would be a maybe to probably yes. Yes I already have Des Moines.

Not really as I lost friends on several of the RN ships during the Falklands war. I was at school with a matelot who was on the Conqueror when she sank the Belgrano. I worked for 9 months with a retired Torpedo Technician who prepared the torpedo that sank the Belgrano. To plenty of people still alive the Falklands war is a reality and calling it Belgrano would be deeply offensive. Having read @Aragathor's post the other name is just about as unacceptable as it's the same as glorifying a Nazi death camp or Soviet gulag. Not good customer relations at all.

Steel is the only way to get the Stalingrad and other ships, it's no mystery Stalingrad is coming in a patch or two. There's an argument that Steel is a more useful resource than Coal and converting it to Coal is not a wonderful idea. Salem isn't just a DM with a Camo, it has vastly worse radar (8km 20s same as the Atlanta instead of 9.9 and 40s), somewhat better heal and to use hydro you have to drop radar.

You play so badly in so many games you don't recall? It was easy for me to remember you running away in a full HP Shchors from a smoked up and spotted Belfast who had no spotting to shoot at you and the game being lost with you basically undamaged as the only other ship left and running away behind islands at the A cap.

The only realistic way to get what's basically a Des Moines clone with a better heal and a massively worse radar is to have converted Steel to coal. Many people would argue that's extremely unwise.

1. Too late, the ship has been released 2. Learn to play 3. If you can't stand the ship at stock either grind it in COOP to get the upgrades or use freeXP. 4. Learn to play, having had you in your Shchors in the same team the other day where you were a complete liability(like the previous time I had you in the same team) learning how to actually play the game would go a long way to improving the game for you and the other 11 who end up with you in their team. Oh and learn to write clearly, your pet names and personal code mean nothing to the other forum posters, just look at this thread.
