I'm not convinced that she'd be wildly OP with the "current" stats, most people are basing their OP screams on the Flamu video with all the hype that went around that, never forget a gunboat with small HP is basically just an XP Pinata. Especially with the usual poor German smoke generator. 90s torp reload would make the ship too poorly armed, but a compromise of adding 10s to the reload with her current torpedoes would still keep her capable, but not excessive. Like many here I have been waiting for the T61's release for months and I've been disappointed that despite the morse spoilers they never did, I admit I've got to the point of real annoyance that it has not been released and I've not bought other Premiums I might have considered seriously while waiting.

Completed all but the French BB ones, not going to bother with those although I'm about to unlock the Richelieu having got Normandie from the mission crates and ground the Lyon.

No, emphatically, I even read most of his typically long dribblings too, that's 5 minutes of my life I'd like back please.

Indeed, that's why I'm asking for a translation from someone fluent in gibberish, the rant has been written on the English subforum and that's about the limit of what I'm able to read. I'm too old and grumpy to try to wade through that preteen txtspk to understand the rant in its full glory.

Anyone able to translate the cretinous txtspk into English for me? I'm struggling to enjoy the silly rant due to it being written in gibberish. Thanks in advance.

I have exactly the same, let me guess you're using the WoWs Classic theme? It's messed up on Chrome and Edge on 2 PC's, using the White or Dark themes it's fine.

Just had @Lee_Apollo in his Dunkerque in the same team while I was hooning about in my Kamikaze, decent win even though I went into slideshow mode with this graphics glitch.

Maybe worth spending some solo time in the Training Room shooting at a variety of T8/9/10 cruisers and BB's at different ranges and angles.the bots can't be made to move, but it may help you get a better feel for the point of aim on those ships with the guns you now have. I'm sure you aim well (better than I do more than likely) and would benefit from the simple practice, it's boring, but it can help.

He's not denied in any way that it's his fault, he admitted it in the original post. You're just attacking him for your own personal gratification. He was just uninformed why the reflected damage was so high, now he knows.

Unlikely as it's in the "official" modpack. It takes some skill to use well.

But of course you can use the 200k silver and grind in the new ship or use a premium of that nation to grind it without penalty. Or use Elite Commander XP to complete the retraining. 500 Doubloons is a pretty daft price to pay.

If you set 3 fires on a BB with Mogami then the reflected damage is based on the BB's damage received which is a percentage of the base HP of the BB. Obviously each tick was quite a lot it being a BB on fire. Mogami hasn't exactly got a whole lot of HP to start off with so it explains the magnitude of the reflected damage. As others have said he may well have left the fires to burn on purpose because he was annoyed you shot him. Pretty impressive salvo 3 fires at once though

Nope, a chat banned player can still map ping and F key spam, they do it as some childish type of "revenge", same is true for someone you mute or blacklist. It's been asked for these annoyances to be blocked too and Mr_Conway said they were looking if it was possible.

We will have to see the results of testing at the tier, but I was totally unimpressed by the review at T8. Without the concealment module it would need the spotting range adjusted or it will be a real lemon. Quite honestly it looks like a bad idea in the first place with lazy copy/paste of the Z23 with 150mm guns rather than anything with any freshness. I'm very keen to have a premium German DD, but the Z39 review didn't leave me excited at all.

There are only 2 (well 3, but the third is really silly) ways I can see of improving survivability of cruisers, adding heals then becomes an endless spiral down the tiers, plus with the servers apparently having a difference in T8 being bottom tier a lot more on EU than the other servers it's not possible to balance. 1. Reduce (by hard cap) the number of BB's per side per game, 3 would be optimal - Unlikely to happen as WG don't want to discourage BB play and they say it will badly impact queue times which is I think debatable. 2. Reduce the size of cruiser citadels considerably - This would lower the chance of deletion. 3. (The silly one) Drastically rework the armour layouts of all cruisers, this would be a BIG task and it's unlikely to ever happen.

The thing is if they allowed a Captain to swap to a ship they used to command and back to their current one without penalty (consider the old ship, if fully researched, to be a ghetto premium in this regard only) they would sell port slots as people would retain or re-buy ships they liked. I don't have that many Captains as I tend to move them up the lines as I progress so I've no real reason to retain most of the older ships unless I want to level up a new Captain just for that ship.

Pretty much. Version number can be fairly meaningless. As an example the first version of the Windows NT Server operating system was released at version 5.51 as the world was dominated by the far more advanced Novel Netware 4.X and 5.0 versions, Microsoft chose the number to make it look more "advanced" despite it lacking many very good features that Novel had for years, they won that marketing war comprehensively in the long run despite the product being pretty awful comparatively.

You might think that, but I disagree, plus the hononym has a completely different meaning indicating direction, you clearly have a good grasp of English judging by your posts. That's why I asked where?

The stated intent is questionable, bit of a stretch to believe it in fact, the implementation is utterly comical, just like when they couldn't make the Pan Asian DWT's only hit heavy cruisers so they made them hit them all. Your post which I quoted (post number 124) is what I responded to where you said that radar should never have been in the game in the first place, but it is and many ships are balanced round its existing.

AP bombs. You mean the things that destroy Cruisers far better than they do Battleships? Asashio - This is a joke of a DD that I've played against and in the same team neither time did it make any impact and it was easy to close down.

There? Where? The fact is the game HAS radars, many ships are balanced around radar existing and the results to gameplay make the few cruisers remaining worth playing as at least they can contribute a bit more than being XP pinatas. As someone that plays DD's a lot radar isn't impossible to deal with, it's inconvenient and can be fatal, but it's not game breaking, not by a long margin.

It couldn't work here because of the extremely fragile nature of the Radar ships (excluding Missouri obviously) as T7-10 BB's which are in a massive abundance, one could easily state vastly overpopulated, can and do delete radar cruisers consistently. There's a reason that many games with the default 5 BB's also have 3-5 DD's and that's because cruiser play is downright punishing so people that can't face playing BB's swap from their cruisers to DD's, I certainly did largely for that reason. We see in Clan Battles where there's max 1 BB (some teams don't bring one) , dynamic fights happening with pushing at caps and brawls at relatively short ranges, this is fun, but ONLY possible as there aren't many BB's deleting the cruisers and DD's (yes BB AP is superb at blasting DD's out of the water as has been demonstrated many times and is even a bug that's very long standing, unlike the BB citadel issue that's taken about a week to address). There's nothing intrinsically wrong with the radar mechanics, they are relatively short range, not massive duration (max 56s on Des Moines with Radar upgrade fitted) and have a sizable cooldown. As a DD player it can be a pain, but it's a risk that can be mitigated, the biggest risk is a BB with his guns pointed your way and not reloading when caught in a radar.

I don't care about the bots in Training room being armed, that really only served a purpose for some limited specialised testing, but losing the ability to have bots that move to practice shooting at moving targets, shooting over islands with a bot spotter and experiment with spotting ranges is a great shame, that was genuinely useful.

Just because you think a longer game mode would be a good idea, it doesn't mean that everyone does. In fact judging by the comments here I'd say many think it's a complete non starter, I certainly think it's a bad idea. Anyway @KarmaQU_EU didn't you announce you'd stopped playing the game so why are you still hanging around the forums?

@Aotearas, yup I threw you a +1. The game ended well despite some stupidity from the team. I too was mystified why 6 ships ran to A after that Tashkent which I said I'd deal with, you got hung out to dry by them bailing on you. I'd have yelled at them if you hadn't. Yugumo is a great boat, I now have the Shima which I don't like as much, I agree the needing to burn XP to make it useful is plain silly.
