    Back after years: What's different?

    You quit playing about a year after I began Lot of new ships - look up their stats so you can avoid learning their strengths the hard way New insane HE spammers, CV:s are more or less un stoppable damage dealing gods, high tier Russian cruisers all have 12 km radar, several super fast yolo DD:s at high tiers, others have super fast 90kn torps or spam out volleys of 8 torps per side French ships (even BB:s) are fast and often have speedboost and reload booster some have both Russian BB:s are very tanky and have improved dispersion below 10 km
  2. Did start it but pretty soon I realised I will never get it done so I quit Dont see why they didnt make it permanent (of course they can sell him for coal ar maybe dubs)
  3. New ships - good for business Again business, large amount of Russian players would be less interested if only historical ships were included (on the other hand maybe players in other countries would be more interested if the historical aspects were more accurate, but I am sure they have some spreadsheet that tells them what is most profitable) I know I would be more interested if it was 100% history based, I have plenty of money but I am getting more and more reluctant to spend much on this farce

    The Russian Bias, a perspective.

    I dont really see how WW2 casualties has to do with the Bias Facts matter tho Britain had the largest fleet pre war fleet Germany were ambitious and built some nice ships (had limited steel and oil reserves so they needed to expand) Japan had prepared for war for several decades and they had a nice fleet of ships but they lacked many resources (oil, rubber, steel etc, needed to expand) USA had a good amount of ships pre war and produced an insane amount of ships during the war (look it up, they produced an insane amount of all war materials with in many cases a total production of more than the rest combined) Russia had a few outdated ships and did not produce ships much during the war (but they made a lot of tanks and finally at great cost rolled over Germany) This list could go on for ever but its just bla bla bla This is a Russian game owned by a Russian company, not making it more "interesting" for Russians would be bad business (note the word "game")
  5. Havn´t played it for at least a couple of years, german BB:s was the second line I grinded I have exactly 50 % winrate on it 31 wins 62 battles So I didnt do all that bad in it with the skill level I had back then (didn´t do good either) Dont think I played it with the buffed guns, just sits there in port, there are more fun ships to play (Scharnhorst) For sure Gneis has been heavily power creeped by all the new HE cruisers or Torp spamming DD:s or same tier BB:s like Sinop and Lyon not to mention uptier Massachusettes, Lenin, or even worse Jean Bart, Georgia, Vladivostok and Musashi A meagre buff to gun accuracy doesn´t help much with the small amount of guns / fired shells and relatively poor reload, big ship with poor rudder and turn circle will more or less be on fire from first time it gets spotted until it sinks, No it doesn´t fit in the current meta very well That being said I´d rather take the Gneisenau into battle than the Colorado or Nagato
  6. Yeah read it too, but what class ship was it ? MacLean served on HMS Royalist which was an improved Dido class light cruiser In the book the Ulysses was doing over 40 knots at the end when she attempted to ram the german heavy cruiser (Spoodbeast ?) For sure a fun ship to have in the game with as much (or more) "historical" value than many ships recently released
  7. When your enemies nickname you "Iron Dog" it is special
  8. HMS Rodney My grandfather worked at Camell Laird in Birkenhead , among other ships he was involved in was Hms Rodney

    Suggestion: why don't "upgrade" tech tree ships?

    I have a few mid tier cammos, bought for Dubs, if I enjoy a ship I consider premium cammo Yamato, Fuso, Bismarck, NC, and a few more

    A new harbour for the Pan-Europe

    Spica is a museum/charter ship too, somewhere in Stockholm Did my military service in Gothenburg, LV6 Kviberg

    A new harbour for the Pan-Europe

    I know but Nya Varvets Örlogsbas (naval base) was in Gothenburg and that is why I said Göteborg (Swedish) I did have an apartment about 500 meters from "Nya Varvet" the former naval base in the early 1980:s Now I live about 5 miles from there, have been on the Småland museum ship with my kids and grandkids

    Alsace is just BAD...

    Should have seen my extensive answer this morning about how the Alsace isnt bad at all (before I noticed and changed the text to necro thread)

    Alsace is just BAD...

    This is a zombie thread but yes, I agree, nuthin wrong with the Alsace Republique is why we have the Bourgogne

    Who Complimented Me . . .

    On the same topic who reported me is just as (un)interesting The whole "karma" thing is pointless as long as good karma isn´t rewarded in some way More than often negative karma points come from enemies you sink so it is flawed anyway

  17. Today a Myoko ran off to kill the CV I am pretty sure he got sunk by it
  18. Nothing and nothing on my NA account either
  19. More focus on Cruisers = Less focus on DD:s Heard FDR planes are slow, would that make them easier to dodge for a DD ? One can only hope the subs will put pressure on the CV:s (not very likely)

    Change in ship recovery rules.

    Like a bad ship "vaccine" Yeah i had the same thoughts
  21. Yeah it is boring.. Have the same issue with 200+ ships but free flags/containers etc. is nice to get. With my overall winrate of around 52% I would be playing 24/7 for 2 weeks in randoms to get wins in every ship Pretty happy there is coop where the wins are guarantied and quick

    Which Coal Ship to Get?

    Stuck with the same dilemma I got a premium Captain, Kuznetsov
  23. Ronchabale

    Tear of the DDs.

    Who cares about the reports.. so you get maybe a few negative karma (even a thousand karma isn´t worth anything) so the math is: nothing - nothing = nothing

    PetroP AA?

    Looks like Petro has punished a lot of miss plays Just like when Thunderer also touched a broadside, like Slava can do too Crying and whining like when Kremlin tanked and wasn´t hurt Just like when Smolensk overwhelmed the static and bow tanking BB Just like Worchester.. Richthofen.. And like when Kleber was soo fast that u cant hit it or Hallands torps or Benham.. Etc.. And on and on it goes Edit (Oh no ! Did Petropavlosk touch your precious bombers )
