The thing is that this game caters to a broader audience in a way. Some like it competitive while others just want to relax and shoot the red stuff One may want only the historical ships while others want to get to tier 10 (which imo isn't a goal in itself) or actually want to try out as many different ships as possible, or who (like me) are actually also interested in "What if?". Some may not even like the daily container system but I reckon most people do Some may want to just be the mastah p0wnzorz #1 while being a braindead monkey themselves and others are in it just for the chat stuff Some want to complete stuff and others just want to have fun! Thankfully there is a reasonable diversity in this game, mostly due to its strong point in it having PvE, so content one is not interested in can simply be skipped or ignored. Heck, you could even play it for free if you wanted to, but you could also invest a kidney or twoo if you'd like

Well, it's ok if loosing a game of Killer Whale (I had 187k dmg so don't look at me ) because everyone got killed, that little boost made that game at least somewhat worthwhile. In coop it's more like 300 or 400 base xp or so? Pewrhaps a bit more if I really try harder.

Really?? I thought NO was pretty mediocre even before it lost its radar.

Tried it 3 or 4 times, all were losses though. It seems like a fun scenario and I did enjoy playing it, but there seemed to be too many ships defending and the eastern enemy airfield was kinda unreachable due to our team being unable to dispatch of the defenders so we could break through. The western airfield was attackable, but Edinburgh (having only AP shells) was basically unable to do any significant amounts of damage. At this time I don't want to cast my vote on this scenario yet till I've been able to complete it. But it seemed pretty fun so far. Noticed the same thing.

My apologies if this has already been mentioned (and maybe this is not something many people would prefer to hear), but wasn't radar at that time much more susceptible to wheather conditions? Since wheather actually exists in the game, would it be (as an alternative or additive measure) feasable to have cyclones and local storms (and perhaps even some maps altogether) influence radar negatively?

This seemed like a good reward for people who had already purchased a lot of premiums. I only already had Texas and most of those doubloons went into perma camos when those were on sale (which I hope will happen again at some time).

I started playing at the end of august and at the time I didn't have the required ships to get any of the containers/collection and couldn't participate, so I had no hope to get that commander, for instance. I'd love to have another shot without having to pay money just to have an even playing field regarding the commander

I'd actually like to get a chance of playing this operation

There's a lot of cruisers playing atm due to the cruiser changes, waiting times for my BBs are non-existent these days. It will go back to normal after a while, always with changes in the tech tree and now it's cruiser season

I remember that battle! I actually took some screenshots and it was a pleasant battle (or at least from my perspective). Chat was non-toxic and funny and our DD was so tired he kept chatting in all-chat by accident lol. I was on our failing flank and had to run for my life while dodging shells. I actually tried to torp your Bismarck but my torps ended up accidentally sinking a DD of your team We both had 2 kills and I was indeed the one to kill you You were indeed top of your list, nicely done! Too bad you had chat disabled, I found it pleasant to participate in even if my team had lost. I ended 4th in my team ( wasn't even that super great or anything but I was satisfied), Charles Martel is kinda my most favorite tier 8 cruiser Till next time, Sir Piritskenyer!

What logic are you referring to? That Musashi is not just a bad Yamato clone? When I got Musashi, I was actually a lot further away from Yamato and I wanted to enjoy playing Nagato and Amagi at the cost of getting another tier 9 premium vessel. If you don't have access to a premium camo for Yamato, it will be economically straining to you (and Yamato needs its own specific captain). And for daily crates +100% xp is better then +50xp, there's tons of little reasons which might make Musashi interesting to some, there's no denying that. Musashi is a good tier 9 BB and it's a premium tier 9 BB at that. I can understand your point of view in that if you already have Yamato with premium camo for 5000 doubloons, there's little sense in getting Musashi, but not everyone is in that situation and there's logic in that.

I hope there will be another discount for perma camos at some point The last perma camo discount was not for tier 10 ships iirc?

This. Interesting observation. That camo is for me a main reason to target Yamato above all other tier 10s.

But winning is part of the experience and so is proper matchmaking . And it doesn't need a separate captain for Musashi due to it being a premium. It's not a bad clone, it's actually a pretty good ship but just a tier lower. In actuality, there's very little difference when going from the tier 9 Musashi to the tier 10 Yamato. Kronstadt does seem like having unique gameplay, which i.m.o. is one argument to go for it.

I don't have Kronstadt (would maybe rather have Alaska as I always had a thing for that ship), but Musashi is not just a bad Yamato clone. It matters that it is tier 9 instead of 10 and not only so it sees tier 7 ships sometimes, but this will also mean that MM should always have a tier 9 BB on the enemy team instead of a tier 10, and this also matters. Dispersion of Musashi seems not so great, but for whatever reason the shells always seem to find a target and they do massive damage! When it comes to gameplay I tend to prefer playing Musashi over Missouri. I don't have Yamato, still busy with Amagi and then comes Izumo.

Fault Line is one of my most favorite maps! The more isolated caps are not some sort of design fault, they are tactical desicions or at least that's how I see them. I like playing this map in any ship, yes also Colorado and Nagato (both which I finished grinding) and this map (due to it not being like most other maps) plays a bit differently. I'd very much not want to for instance remove the more isolated areas on the sides and the open cap in the center as these make this map more unique compared to most other maps which all kinda play all the same which make these maps more boring. C cap, the corridor is in fact not very long and there's more cover from an island and the hole between the two larger islands. Yes this area is dangerous but I like dangerous and it's always fun! It's fast and you can get out fast as well. B cap is a risk, but I've even managed to cap it with a BB in the beginning, the lolz! I also like that A and C are different in how they play, this map is one of the best ones in the game I think. I'm always happy whenever I get it and it makes me THINK what to do and how to react, taking into account distances and where the enemy might be hiding. This map is so much better then most of the other maps (especially the higher tier ones) and this is one of the few maps with kinda more land area.

WGs compensation measures have been pretty good the last couple times they messed up something, I'm gonna wait to see what they will do this time before getting out the angry mob thingy

Aren't the upgraded guns a bit longer ranged compared to the upgraded guns of the tier 6 Cleveland? I did try to use spotter plane instead of radar but the very long reload (even with premium spotter plane) makes this not very useful. The shell velocity is not very good but the gun arcs are great and tier 8 Cleveland should have better conceilment.

What? I took months to finish that campaign

I do see people flaming, but I see them doing it for all kinds of reasons. Heck, even in game it happens. Example of last week as I was playing my Bayern I think, someone who kept calling me a coward and said during the battle that I was the reason our team had lost the game. Low and behond, after match was over I ranked first in my team and said person was last. I see people so deranged from the world, it's unfathomable. They don't care that they are wrong, just try to ignore them and hope they don't multiply

In some way though, is it bad that this campaign would be more difficult then the Yamamoto one? Some are complex and I certainly hope missions such as that one will not get too commonplace (would be to the detriment of overall gameplay with people forgetting about the team and the win and focussing on their mission). Concerning the missions, I'm glad there is at least a credit (Missouri ) and xp options. I dunno about the tier 10 requirements or some of the other missions. I didn't do all the Yamamoto missions either as some were a bit too grindy for too little reward for my taste (and I wanted to keep empty spaces in case there ever is another temporary campaign).

Frankly I think he does have a point. He's inaccurate concerning the details i.m.o. but so are you. I never liked these missions where one has to jump through 3 hoops while destroying 3 modules while not outside a friendly cap but with >20knots while going in a straight line, but only when of the 3 previous battles you managed to get at least 5 kills but no more then 8 kill, but only max 3 kills due to fire damage in excess of 50% are counted for the duration of the mission.

I was not totally serious with you sir And I am certainly not for free! I don't mind F2P being more cumbersome in order to entice people to spend money for making their grinds easier, but the problem with games like these is that the boudary between Not-F2P and P2W is a vague one and it may bring more money in the end, but a lesser game. And don't worry, I already paid more for this game than I have for Battlefield so don't think I'm freeloading. But yes I don't feel like paying for P2W (the new commanders are in essence P2W for me as I wasn't playing back in 2016 anyway). When it's pay to win, it's no longer a game but a walletsize contest under the guise of a game based on skill. Just look at WoT, that's capitalism rivalling even Amerika!

Or perhaps it's the other way around and it would entice WG to produce a (even) more enjoyable game for us with more stuff and less frustration! So in a way, perhaps it's thanks to wallet warriors that people start getting too lazy as money will flow into their pocket automagically anyway I'm not accusing or implying anyone of anything

I got pushed beyond the 20m boundary but have an unlocked Lion waiting for me I also want to get Gneisenau quick and I want and I want and I grind too many lines Not impressed till you have at least 1.337.666.666 credits, sir
