    Alloance tokens - your method for fast grab ?

    I basically spammed high tier DDs (from tier 8) in coop every day, it's the easiest way to farm almost guaranteed points, but I feel like this is not enough if you want to get the very high scores (like 2000 points a day) while keeping your sanity from derailing But high tier DDs it is! +== Operations will only work if you have a solid team working for you and you yourself are also good at ops. If you're good in ops, people will probably throw blind invites for ops divs at you all the time and farming will become a lot easier and a lot less stressful . I basically don't bother with random teams anymore as it's simply not reliable enough and even getting consistent 5 stars is probably not the fastest way to farm. Coop is, along with a ship in randoms in which you can get consistent medals awarded and missions completed. Soon I will have Lazo in my port!

    CVs are not the problem in Mid Tier, bad DDs are

    This is quite an assumption, as this will not always be the case. Plenty of 1000 games_in_shima_with_<50%_winrate DD mains out there who never seem to improve when their favorites are not buffed directly

    This is just so annoying! And when I try to dodge incoming shells, I can't, because they keep sailing next to me, mirroring my every move. They probably assume I'm enjoying it as much as they are!

    New Operations? Return of the old removed ones? When?

    Well to me it's Cherry and Dynamo and Hermes (except when in Atlanta) that I'd like to see back. Not missing UF and the latest iteration of Raptor

    Update 0.8.3: the “Victory” Competition

    It seems logical to me that it's for this patch only, as was to be suspected after seeing "part 1" in the armory, so there had to be a part 2. You can still get any of the other items. I myself will make it

    Am I the only one going for DD with torps?

    I also often wonder if the Ryujo rocket bombers are even capable of setting any fires at all.

    I think it's actually BB that is least idiot proof. But it's harder to excell in BB as well, unlike DD. Cruisers are easier to punish (except maybe French cruisers which seem to give mostly overpens lol) and BBs are usually hard to citadel and have more effective healing. But DDs are getting there, there's even an entire DD yolo tech tree line coming soon tm.

    This seems awefully familiar. Some of these things have actually been made a reality like the conceilment nerf, torp spotting, AP nerf and carrier nerfs vs DDs.

    I finished my Iowa grind and this DD problem exists in higher tiers as well I can assure you. Many DD players are simply poor players making poor decisions. And complaining and b1tching in chat! Even after I deleted a broadside DM the dead DD complained about that DM having killed him before. Not playing for the objectives and not being punished hard enough for their mistakes. They don't care as much anymore about actually using their conceilment, they go gunboat in the open because they don't get punished enough for doing so anymore (partially because of BB AP pen nerf and poor accuracy of either BB shell).

    He put it ina way as if it was the most sensible thing, that of course everybody will know why he isn't spending anymore money on WG. But it simply is not true. There's more than enough people on these very forums who come here decreeing not spening any more money and wallet closed and stuff, for over a year now. What a waste of time and quite frankly I don't need to read it. Veri was not kind, but Fingers wasn't eitehr except he hid it more intelligently. And he's right about not everybody caring, but he delivered the message kinda more brutely then I would have done. And yes I got this message and the coupon as well. Dunno if the coupon saying 2 days 24 hours means it is valid for 3 days or for 2 days but either way, it's too short for me to make up my mind and I don't feel like lemminging behind a short-duration 30% coupon. They used to be a week and I ended up actually using those more often.

    Any info on new "special" captains?

    If you get a kraken while jingles is piloting your vessel, a giant kraken will rise up from the sea in the middle of the map and ROAR!!!! for every soul in the game to see. And hear

    More Resources Containers

    I never bothered to do a count or to keep stats on what I get from these containers, but I'm kinda satisfied with what they contain. I do have a large stock of the eco signals now due to the resource container containing these signals instead of extra 400 coal. But then again I do play a lot and feel like this is just the reward for this. The daily crates are important component of the game to me and I'm most likely not alone in this.

    Kleber is a monster wt*

    So basically this ship can spot a radar cruiser, move into position while remaining undetected itself to get the broadside and then delete the radar cruiser with the radar cruiser having basically no counterplay against it? Sounds legit. Especially since some radar ships lost their ability to stealth radar DDs because DD also had no counterplay. Yes, good idea wargaming to add even more DDs that can outgun ships that are supposed to be DD hunters

    Any tipps to get fun as DD ?

    Excellent post, but I wonder how this is unique to carriers if all ships can use this info as they also will know they are spotted and skilled players can even know when the DD launches torps at him without the DD ever having been spotted. And also surface ships have a skill that carriers don't, Radio Location, which also gives an approximate idea of where the DD is. So it's not like this CV thing you are telling about is so unique to carrier, it is not. It is different of course. And the skill to know when you are spotted is baked into all avatars (it's what WG called it) of wows, it's just a wows trait. This I did want to point out, but other than that, excellent writing

    Or cruiser. If one class doesn't suit you, instead of staying on the loosing team, simply switch to another class. I play all classes and as you claim to be a beta player you know very well how meta changes and shifts with new releases, so I'm surprised you haven't leared to adapt to this yet. And did you really grind all the way to tier 10 and only start noticing the radar ships and your crappy performance just now? If you suspect someone is using illegal 3rd party aim assists, you should contact customer support, explain your situation and send in a replay so they can deal with this issue. We as normal forum plebs have no power here. And it doesn't surprise me with just 13 battles...err ow those are your post count, you hid your stats so you might as well be another troll in a long line of relatively easy to spot trolls.

    Which forum members have you seen in random battles?

    Or at least not try it out first battle by going stock into a random, but play a couple coop battles first And sorry guys, I have 0 karma left for today to give so I could not give you guys some karma back

    Graf Zeppelin underperforms. Please fix it.

    Where have we heard this before? And what did this situation end up in? (something about broken and balancing by community )

    ''New monarch and Qonq'' Will they get replaced?

    Well, I do totally agree with you on the reason of the Gneisenau guns
