I'll just copy paste what I've written earlier on the forums instead of doinga rewrite of what is basically the same thing to me:

I think there's another reason for the HE spam in Conqueror: I actually purposefully spam almost exclusively HE with Conq because I want the change in gameplay. All other tier 10 BBs are already better with AP and I hardly ever use HE in them (well, maybe a little bit more after BB AP got nerfed but I still prefer AP with virtually all battleships except the Conq). Making Conq into another AP BB will only remove one of the gameplays I enjoy from the game and Conq will become more a mediocre bland and boring white sheep. The superheal is ok, it makes Conq be able to tanka lot of HE spam which can really help the team, if played correctly. I would actually enjoy the brit BBs less if it were to be turned into another BB AP line. You can play literally all other BB lines in the way that you like. Gimme HSM Thunderer!

I'm not liking the latter part. Conqueror is unique in how it plays and is not OP. It's also a good coice for certain missions and come on, if it becomes just another tier 10 like any of the other more bland ones, then what would be its point? Frankly, I think Conq is fine as she is now. The people whining about her are mostly players that also whine about other ships or ship classes due to personal reasons (like how Flamu hates carriers). Frankly, when I play the Conq, the BB I like to see on the enemy team the most by far! Is another Conq!

The ship (Missouri) was meant to be like over €100 or so? (when calculating full conversion costs) But later it became easier to farm FXP, so the ships that came after Missouri should be cheaper (which they basically are, about half what the Missouri would have cost when converting all 750k FXP). So imo it did have the correct credit multiplier when it was released (as there was basically no other way to get Missouri) and was removed because it was just too good a premium ship to stay when FXP inflation started to become a thing. Or at least that's just my quick take on things here

Could you please elaborate?

Didn't you know that prices go up slightly if you play more battles?

Statistically, slightly over 50% of those will be on the enemy team (unless you're one of the 70% lossrate n00bs ).

I was going to mention the daily shipments. Don't forget to click to login (and accept the shipment, just for good measure) every day.

This I agree with. The lag spikes are still there and it makes me very grumpy while in game. I was playing in a div last evening (some recreational Narai with some of the boyz) and it was like me wanting to type to them that I needed to switch ships and after 1 1/2 words the cursor would disappear, windows loading circle thingy appeared and the screen turned white-ish as if the program was locking up, screen turning black completely for up to 10 seconds or more, iirc there were also some flashes somewhere in the mix, these lag spikes are like 20 seconds of having to wait for the lag spike to end. And then I noticed not all words I had typed were actually types so I had to re-set the cursor in the text field so I could quickly finish the sentence before the next lag spike hits...oh crap too late. Here we go again! another lag spike and me having to wait 20 seconds or so (I'd not be surprised if this was even longer) so I'm literally busy for a full minute, just to tell my div mates that I need a couple seconds (ha ha) to get my next ship ready. And then I get the question of what is keeping me (which of course is also delayed to arrive at my client due to all the lockups). And by that time I haven't even selected my bloody ship yet! @ForlornSailor @DFens_666 @BlackYeti

Perhaps you could be so gracious as to tell us how we could share that experience. It's indeed a challenge, but to be frank it's a challenge that I don't find particularly enjoyable.

I was going to mention the CA2-D design, but perhaps they could do the same with Guam as they did with DM/Salem or some of the Japanese ships (though I think I'd prefer to have Guam not at tier 8 at least, maybe also give it better heal and lesser radar or something). And there's ample sister ships that could be implemented in such a way, being mostly copy pastes so WG can sell them to us more cheaply I doubt that last bit will happen, but I'm ok with the copypastes, 3D modelling is a LOT of work and frankly I think it's kinda stupid to model sister ships separately in wows when they were originally the same design anyway.

The kinda lackluster credit income was one of the things I noticed when I took her out for a spin in coop. It was a mere single coop game though, but I've played premium ships in coop quite often (and always without eco flags and with the free consumables, just to earn some free extra credits) and Alaska does have not a special income. The only ship I notice in coop getting good credit income is Missouri. Even in coop it's possible to rack up like 250k credits and Musashi was more like 150k or so? This was after costs were subtracted. But I suppose Alaska has a same credit multiplier as the other tier 9 premiums, but I haven't tested it enough yet (and certainly not in any scientifical way, so to say). And Alaska may not be the best one for coop credit printing anyway as she will have a harder time doing damage (probably).

I suppose this is a rhetorical question?

Best you could do is to div up with a CV. I did this shortly before 8.0, I ended up ina CV game by chance and then asked both allied and enemy CV if they wanted to team up with my wooster and one of them accepted. I got a couple nice medals from that little expedition Iirc there was an official divisions channel in the game, but last time I remember going there it was either empty or full of germans trying to recruit clanmembers or something? But just ask around in your clan (I'm in bad luck as barely anyone in my clan seems to play CV a lot these days. We used to have a quite good CV player in the clan though, good times ). But ask around and team up with a carrier. I ended up taking my Shokaku out for the remaining 5 plane kills I needed for missions and needed several attempts mostly due to matchmaking making it very hard for me and my own inexperience with how CVs are currently tweaked (as I barely play them these days, they aren't that fun anymore so little motivation).

Seems kinda a waste of resources?

I don't understand what was wrong with the old sound system? The music seems confused, often wanting to switch like every 5 seconds, it kinda ruins the immersion. It may have been due to my positioning or something (maybe it was a fluke) but I found this kinda annoying as it kept switching sound tracks every few seconds or so.

I opted for dam con right away as my test in coop showed the Alaska should be fine without the extra rudder shift. And because it seemed to be really easy to set ablaze. Too bad I haven't seen an Alaska on the enemy team when I was sailing my megazao today (for the modules mission and fires).

I don't know how to play the ship. I literally threw a million fxp at the tech tree without me actually knowing the Alaska well, except for a couple memes and old twitch clips

I already noticed the decks of Alaska are filled with gasoline

I would kinda agree with you, if only you didn't state that WG had actually said to not sell premiums tier 9 and 10 ever...because they didn't say that. Everyone just heard it somewhere and lemminged away, but noone can provide any proof anyway.

Well at least your 'team' won

I used to get them more often, regularly with about 2 months interval. I didn't use many of them. Some of them were kinda worthless (like 10% discount on only some stuff I didn't really want while some others got +200% extra doubloons..what?).

Too bad we can't test this vs bots in training room as both these ships are premiums

Perhaps they are not mutuallyexclusive. But the only problem is that animations are kinda labor-intensive and personally I'd rather they spend that effort on reducing the epic port lag.

No I'm just about to start my Mogami grind
