I was taking the mickey obviously and you're absolutely right of course, flight times alone make it almost as naff as the CV snipers. It's part of the reason that BB's camp of course even though it's a small part. The unfortunate fact is that BB's especially at the upper tiers have the range and accuracy to not bother putting their hulls at risk until the late game and this panders to the worst sort of BB player that thinks sniping from near max range is a great idea. The only realistic counter (as let's face it nerfing BB's isn't going to happen) is a hard cap on BB numbers so the effect of BB sniping is mitigated. We see from Clan Wars that dynamic matches are entirely possible with BB's limited to one, the difference being even more stark with Ranked having just finished where 3 BB's was the norm and static camping play was pretty much constant.

But to be fair in your CV you can sit untouched and strike them at your plane range when their AA has been shot away On topic though this Flamu vid shows a silly unrealistic scenario. The DD should never be released in this state and it's a terrible idea.

Excellent analysis @Ubertron_X, graphics do it real justice as well as the notations. Not a big fan of this map, it plays pretty poorly at the upper tier bracket, it might work at lower tiers without Radars.

That's rich calling them too lazy when you're too lazy to use the right word (there, they're and their are different words, writing them all as there isn't bad spelling, it's just laziness, same with to/too/two). For some reason they don't want to do +/- 1, supposedly it's because of queue times, but I doubt it would make much of a difference. Personally I'd be fine with waiting an extra 30-60 seconds in the queue as it's almost instantaneous now.

As a Minotaur player myself you're exaggerating somewhat. True a single salvo from any T10 BB can delete a Minotaur, but not a single shell unless you detonate, most Minotaur players learn quickly to fly the anti det flag. Plus of course sitting in smoke and spamming shells fast gives away your position clearly, at upper tiers with accurate guns it's not hard to shoot into smoke, especially if the target is broadside. Mino is tricky to play well, but it can be effective after you've mastered it.

My thanks to those who found and posted the codes, all appear to have worked. Nice

I was in this battle and it was essentially unplayable, bit annoying as it was a qualification for promotion battle. and proved to be impossible to compete.

Same scenario here, gun range at 18.1km, fire 1 salvo it drops to 16.6km and stays there for the whole match.

To be fair while Priority Target has some merit it's far from perfect, especially in a DD or torp armed cruiser I will swap targets around any I can see to get a better idea of their sailing direction, typically done while not spotted. I know other people do the same, so just because Priority Target shows a number it's only an indication, fair enough for a 1 point skill. It can even be a way to panic people into a turn.

Easy mistake, I admit I checked the wording in the client to be sure, the range upgrade is so similarly named between the module (which can be upgraded) and the Upgrade it's as confusing as this sentence is.

Yes, he's referring to the Gun Fire Control System, which is part of the usual ship modules, not one of the upgrade slots that can take range, reload, torpedo upgrades bought for 3m silver.

Had it 45 minutes ago and the same just now.

Salvo of torps from a Shinonome at 3Km last time I saw that sort of thing, 2 Belfast and a Fiji, guess none had Hydro turned on, 2 dead instantly, 1 dead 5 seconds later from flooding and incoming storm of BB shells that were fired soon as I spotted them. That sort of Division relies on other people spotting for them, it's not invulnerable.

I use the reload mod as well, the range is fine at default. Hindenberg is a very nice ship to play and rather nasty to face.

If you uninstalled is that permanent and will you stop posting? If so I'll buy a round for any player in a 50 mile radius from here.

I get the torp warning noise on friendly or enemy DW torps when I DD, I've never thought anything of it as I didn't know it shouldn't.

Konigsberg and Nurnberg are fun in their own way, squishy, but lovely guns in a weird arrangement. I found Yorck rather dull, I was playing Algerie at the same time and they're remarkably similar in many ways. The floaty shell arcs are different from the rest of the line too. Hipper is OK, but the poor reload harms the feel of the ship quite badly, it really could use 2 seconds shaving off that to make it fun. Played right Roon and Hindy are excellent.

If these pathetic DWT's are the only option then hell no, the rest apart from the addition of Reload Booster still looks like a screwed up Kagero. I really like DD's, but this one is pathetic with a stupid gimmick. Not worth any money at all.

Well you could before they changed the training rooms and nearer the end of the last CB season, until the new rentals come out we won't know for sure. Can only hope that they retained the ability to use them and the maps in the right mode as well.

That would be interesting, Black is Tier 9 not 8.

But looking at your past postings, boring rants are all you do, this is no different. You post to troll and little else.

Sauce? Barbecue for me please OK, assumption was wrong (quite glad) bit of a shame we lose the Sea of Fortune one with the A and B nested caps, it was a bit different from the others so a variety of tactics required, I liked that. That article doesn't specifically mention the 1 BB and no CV rules, but I think that was mentioned before. I know some people disliked those rules, but I think they led to dynamic play which was fun. I can cope with the time windows which are a little longer this time, I hope they won't be too troublesome for people with a less flexible schedule, but I expect there will be some justifiable complaints they're still too restrictive.

Sorry, but a ship that has higher HP than most BB's at the tier, tough armour and big guns and is trying to wave a childs paper flag saying "I'm a cruiser really" isn't a good move, it means it will be matched against cruisers without those advantages. Unless it has a citadel hitbox that extends from the bow to the stern and the top of the superstructure that can be reliably penetrated by cruiser HE (not even IFHE) it will be a mess to face. This is just a BB in a very unconvincing disguise, not impressed at all.

1 single point of damage done while pink = extended pink penalty, it's in the very widely known rules and when pink it even says so. Cornflakes explained it to you as well. Reading comprehension as well as understanding a very basic ruleset is clearly not something you're capable of. It's still perfectly fair and yes I've been pink a few times, I don't feel any of them were unfair. As to the the capitalist statement, grow up or get a dictionary, Capitalism isn't theft.

You read it wrong, your pink penalty was extended because you SHOT him. Do at least try to read what @Commander_Cornflakes wrote. If the guy that torped you did enough damage he will have gone pink, probably after the game. From the behaviour you've exhibited on this thread I do somewhat understand why he would torp you.
