And all these advantages are offset by other factors as these ships are not OP. So you have to be missing something here.

I think DDs are more annoying and frustrating to play against (exept when I play DD myself, of course. CC is idc what DDs are concerned). I don't find the HE BBs frustrating or annoying to play against. I mean, -what- does them make annoying or frustrating to play against? Just because some people are complaining out of this air? Why then? Because that I don't understand, even though I read it a lot (well I read complaining a lot, because there's so much of it around). I hope HIV doesn't get nerfed. I'm not an expert but isn't part of the reason why it is so popular because it's the best counter vs a certain stalinium ship out there?

Why not ask Wargaming about this?

Good thing I have the paid camo for Cleveland?

Doh I potatoed! Gonna rectify this mistake, how embaressing

Lazyness? And btw, do you have any idea how fugly some of those British designs are? They make even Izumo look like a real port queen! And there's nothing wrong with the British BBs. I even saw @wilkatis_LV state that the RN BBs were horrible to play against or something along those lines. So I asked him what made them so terrible to play against but I think he never responded? I don't see any problem with the RN BBs, they are actually adding something unique to the game and I think they should stay this way.

I was wondering directly after that announcement, perhaps someone at some moment mixed up DD-397 Benham with DD-796 Benham? DD-796 is a Fletcher and would fit much better in tier 9. Right? I mean, a Fletcher at tier 9? Not exactly a new idea But DD-397 is a Benham class DD which was actually succeeded by the Sims (now in the game as a tier 7) and then by the Bensons (also a tier 7 tier 8 of course ) and then Gleaves and only after that class came the Fletchers. I feel like they have mixed something up internally or something.

Could be because of powercreep?

Japanese wasn't victorious (well not in WW2 at least?) and it arguably has 2 campaigns I'd love a German campaign and being able to mount 2 flags on my German port queens ships and get a German captain that has a somewhat better skillset. Ok, I do like Vigilance but it's too expensive I think.

I think there's plenty of (semi-fictional) stuff one can think of when it comes to a German naval campaign..or at least if you meant an operation by this. Think subs and sinking some merchant ships!

I understand. But these players are in all gamemodes anyway. And on twitch. And on the forums. Just look at all the dumb "BBaby crying" and all the demands for "NURF DIS WARGAMMING!!" and "BUFF DAT WARGAMMING!!!! OR WALLET CLOSED!!!". They feel so entitled, it's kinda sickening. So I just try to ignore that and play my own game (along with the people that I do like). And despite the teammates in KW being of dubious quality, KW is actually my favorite operation as I like playing this one alone with my carriers. I even got the permacamos for both tier 6 carriers over a year ago specifically because I enjoyed playing carrier in KW so much. I rarely get 5 stars, I just make it a sport to try and maximise my damage, it's almost like a ritual lol. The economical benefits of KW? Well it's not exactly a Cherry or a Narai, but I still like KW Usually I'll get 3 stars or so. Sometimes a loss and sometimes 2 stars or 4. Now and again 5 stars, but not even every day or so. Whenever there is KW, I'm part of this (so plz don't nerf or change KW Wargaming ). But if KW gets killed or changed (see what they done to Raptor Rescue ) or nerfed, that would be a really big deal to me. I think maybe (maybe!) even a bigger deal then Stalingrad is to me.

@Beastofwar Usually I only attack the merchants once or twice as I have noticed that otherwise some of the teammates will try to rush in and kill them themselves while the team as a whole loses hp because the enemies with guns are left alive for longer. So I try to kill at least one of them to prevent 'adventurous' teammates from trying to obtain that award. Nice on ellbowing your way into the harbor, but usually I want to stick closer to the entrances as this means my planes get to their targets quicker due to shorter distances.

Sometimes I torp a teammate in an ops, just for kicks and shizzles

I think the lack of experience and lack if willingness to learn along with the elitism that even these potatos can suffer are more important causes for this. There's too many people who incorrectly assume that other disagreeing with him is disagreeing because he is dumb. Oh well. At least carriers are more enjoyable in KW then they are in randoms atm. Especially Shokaku, what's the point of even playing it? It's mostly just frustrating to play now.

It's basically this indeed. You need to kill the waves as they spawn, then it becomes easy. I mean, KW in itself is not too difficult. It's the teammates and the (lack of) communication (or lack of interest) that are making it hard I am glad that it's also one of the few older operations left now.

One was totally not a newb. Even 50% winrate or so, which is actually a quite generous winrate for KW standards Anyway, I also notice people don't like shooting destroyers. Furious is really piss poor at attacking destroyers and noone else seems to want to shoot those little citadel-less buggers so noone wanted to push and this caused us the loss as we got focussed one by one (except for the Bayern that had trouble finding the exit of the harbor and sailed around or something). But I had a so-so game with a mere 185k dmg done anyway, not my best.

Teamsize is 15 instead of 12, but that's irrelevant for this matter I think. Anyway, as things are now, I think we'd be able to keep a stable number of members even if the limit were to be raised to 70 or so. I'm not so sure about 100 max. I don't see the need to increase to such an amount.

I did have a division of 2 yesterday that managed to do nothing. And I mean literally not fire guns and just sit there, sailing around, blocking my path a couple times. It was as if they were just there to cruise and to observe what was happening.

You can mouse over the empty 2nd and 3rd progression bars to view the rewards

Our clan is basically full all the time. Yes, the maximum of 100 worked fine in WoT I voted to keep it at 2, but for me it doesn't really matter anyway. I had wanted to leave the 2nd vote option blanc, but it was not allowed so I had to fill in something.

Urashima!

I haven't played my Musashi or Yamato much lately, but the Musashi had one special thing going for it and this was the extended duration of Musashis fighter planes. It fighter consumable duration was 3 minutes for Musashi instead of the 1 1/2 minutes for the Yamato. Pre carrier rework, of course. But I noticed that post rework, the catapult fighter duration for Musashi and Yamato are both 60 seconds now? I'm thinking this is a bug or an oversight. The increased duration of its catapult consumables was actually part of the ship's box o' gimmicks and one which I particularly liked. I decided to not go through my old pile of screenshots, but instead found a couple youtube videos which highlight this feature that was specific to Musashi. I posted 2 links to 2 youtube videos, with time stamps at the moment the catapult fighter is launched (inside the spoiler). Apparently, Musashi did get a longer duration spotter plane compared to Yamato, but the longer duration fighter plane was apparently omitted or forgotten? I'm not sure about spotter planes, but I hardly use those except ona few select ships (like mid-tier Russian cruisers). I don't think there's an actual bugreporting section on the forums? So I posted it here instead. The spotter plane does have a longer duration but the fighter plane does not anymore. I'd like to request the Musashi get back its extended duration fighter plane, since it appears to be an oversight to have removed it and because to me this is part of the Musashi experience (I don't use the spotter on either Musashi or Yamato). Regards Obligatory @ tagging @MrConway @Crysantos

Kinda the same experience here. I watch streams like every day or so and also receive a twitch crate every day. Veeeery occasionally I got 3 twitch crates but usually I'll get one and sometimes I get none.

At first glance, accuracy with HE at least seems similar. But it's got 12 guns instead of 9 and longer range which make Conq a more effective ship. I haven't played Lion ina long while now tho, but Conq is kinda simply a better Lion.

The what exploit?
