I agree, BB's are far too invulnerable, they don't need any more survival tools, in fact some of their survivability should be rolled back including their concealment values and the gun bloom allowing them to blink out while reloading unlike every other ship type that actively uses guns. Indeed, but to some people a direction doesn't necessarily indicate an intention, that's why I qualified it, in my understanding of the language a direction and intention are the same thing, but that's a finesse of language and this is an international forum.

Quite possibly both, I'm knackered at the moment so I probably phrased it poorly. To is usually directional or intentional as in "I'm going to the market" or "I'm going to shoot at that cruiser" Too indicates you have too much of something as in "fires on my BB do too much damage" or "there are too many BB's in the game" In the OP he uses to instead of too. The words sound the same so are homonyms, but they mean completely different things, there's also two which is the number after one and before three. English has a fair few of these homonyms that non native speakers find tricky for quite obvious reasons, it's a damn silly language at times, but it's the one I was educated (quite well) in and I do notice misuses as the way I read relies heavily on context and the wrong words stand out. To be very honest the people that tend to use the wrong homonym are very frequently native speakers that just can't be bothered to type the right word, the non native speakers usually do incredibly well with the silly, old, mongrel and complicated language that I was brought up speaking.

Cheers, I think @Budget_War has almost a full house there with the OP in this thread. I've not seen one of those in a while.

As a frequent DD driver, yes please, the biggest threat to me is BB long range shots because I'm spotted by some pesky DD, less DD's about and I can far more easily go and farm the tears of the people like @Budget_War. Sorry @Budget_War your suggestions wouldn't make a drop of difference to BB camping, just make them vastly more survivable and make playing any other class even more pointless than it currently is, can someone do the Bingo card for this person? Incidentally the word to indicates a direction and not an excess like the word too. They're homonyms but they don't share a meaning, English is a bugger for these confusing homonyms.

My Mino captain has 14 spent:- PM AR SI CE, AFT. Not decided what to do with the last 5 yet, maybe BFT and Smoke Screen Expert. I'm not terribly taken by Vigilance as I play DD's a fair bit and I'm not awful at guessing where and when Torps are likely. It's a matter of taste of course, I don't use PT as I assume when spotted everyone and their dog will fire at me.

I've not progressed (not played Ranked at all in fact) since hitting 10. May well push on when I can be bothered to put up with the lousy teamplay. I could really use another Radar mod so I'm semi motivated to get to R3.

I think there's a mod in one of the packs that changes the ribbon sizes, can't say I've tried it, but it might be worth a go. Aslain modpack What screen resolution are you running? Pretty sure the devs assume that most gamers will be using larger screens which is likely (although I play on a laptop it's got a 1920x1080 display).

@lup3s in his brand new Asashio with his div mate @BobtheBorg. Sadly he's not one of the utterly useless Asashio players and he came top on the opposite team while 1/2 of my team derped wildly.

You're out of luck then, apart from Shimakaze there are no high tier torpedo boats with 3 mid line torpedo launchers, you will either have to change your personal definition or be permanently disappointed. Most of the torpedo boats are based on an element of historical fact either built ships or blueprints.

That or grind the Free XP which you get with each match. Obviously that takes longer.

One of those games where it just didn't work out...

What about Kagero and Harekaze? Both have reasonable torpedo reload and both can mount the Torpedo Reload Booster instead of smoke which is a sensible choice as they have equal best concealment for the tier. I don't agree that T8 is short of a good torpedo spammer.

That's sensible, too many BB's have far too good concealment, for there to be this sort of tradeoff required it would make any buffs to other aspects less overpowered. BB's are already in a very strong place and they really don't need buffing, to be fair they need some nerfing. I applaud the general idea of getting past the cookie cutter equipment using the current upgrade mods, but the obviously strong ones will simply become the new cookies cut with no variety.

As does the achievement, it would be an almost automatic get for a ship with any armour or a driver that has the vaguest idea of how to angle. It would have no effect on BB camping, the simple fact is they camp because they can reliably do damage from long range (even unspotted, not forgetting the gun bloom makes them blink as in only the case of BB's their reload is longer than the bloom) while not taking any risks.

Could be any or all of:- Really likes the ship Not willing to spend the silver on T6 Enjoys T5 seal clubbing Trying to train up a Captain on a ship he likes and understands Doesn't care about manual drops

I'd say the T10's are the best balanced at the moment, some of these would just be downright silly.

So basically what you want is a BBaby signal to stop the nasty HE and Torpedo damage DoT effects to be obtained by a rather easy achievement. That signal (if it happened would be insanely OP especially stacked with tanking captain builds) In many DD matches I get 1-2m potential damage, Khaba drivers far, far more. Most BB games I play I pass 1m potential damage in the first 5-10 minutes. You've even put it as Citadel damage. I don't think you've thought this through at all except in an "I drive BB's and I want it even easier" frame of mind.

Sorry for the list of questions below. Is this Bogue specific or do you have another CV where it also happens? Running any mods? Is it just happening in Randoms, or also effects COOP and the Training Room? Tried starting the game in "Safe Mode" from the game centre? (little down arrow as part of the Play button} Tried the Check and Repair tool in the game centre? (Game Settings button under the ALL GAMES tab) Rebooted your PC? (Dumb one I know, but can't hurt to try) That would be my starting point.

Well you play low tier CV's a lot with more than likely 19 point Captains, not surprising you love them as you're a pwn artist who doesn't play upper tiers as you can't own the map as ships have functional and effective AA. It's as dull having a CV like that in my own team as in the enemies. As @El2aZeR said camping isn't a side effect of CV's, it's mostly down to cowardice, failure to understand the economy (service cost being fixed, no repair costs) selfishness and very, very many BB's.

I have kept both Fletcher and Chung Mu while having Gearing and Yueyang, I like them enough that I've got the perma camo on both from the recent discounts, they're excellent DD's. I've also got quite a few Premium DD's (most of them now I think on it), but no way am I planning to buy the Asashio, it's a cardboard cutout of a ship, so one dimensional that it has no appeal to me and having seen so many played so badly it confirmed my decision. It's not that it's likely to be too hard to play, I can DD reasonably well, it just has no redeeming features other than being equal best concealment at the tier.

I may have been slightly sarcastic, played right Kamikaze is downright evil the way it is now.

Yup, I've done a lot of mayhem with my Kamikaze, but if I'm caught with nowhere to run or hide it's very dead, very fast, fragile and not particularly quick, but quite nimble. It could use a buff really, another 5 kts speed and increase the torps range to 10km with the current base reload, it wouldn't be OP at all!

A dev strike is a dev strike, I don't think the system differentiates what the firing ship was. That said I think he worded it badly as doing 90k to BB's in a BB scores less than doing 90k to DD's or Cruisers, the scoring system is weighted towards the percentage of the HP of the target ship you've done, so where as 20k is not much of a blip to a BB target it will wipe out (or close to it) a DD. Heals possibly have an effect as well, but I don't know just how much or how. Since DD's are often fighting other DD's in caps their damage can be more meaningful in impact to the game, but that's very generalised as later on in the game they're often torpedoing BB's. The same is true for any ship of course - shell a DD to near death for 18k scores more than setting 18k in fires on a BB. I'm sure you already know this, but some people reading the thread may not.

That's middle mouse button he has mapped to AP, I'd call you an old git for misreading, but we both know that's kettle calling the pot dirty arsed .

I've seen multiple Asashios in Ranked, only 1 was played well, seen far more in Randoms they're overwhelmingly badly played. I agree it can have an impact as you described, but that requires a different playstyle than that adopted by the very significant majority of the ships players who ignore caps and will sail to avoid everything to get at the BB's or camp behind their own team and second line torp over huge distances, so no spotting or capping or area denial just by being there.
