Lootboxer

I'am DD main mostly (or I used to ) but now I have more cruisers then DDs and only one BB rusting in a port. The problem is that many TX DDs are no better then T9s, hence no much desire to get them and I have 3 TX freeremium cruisers but there's no freemium TX DDs still (Somers hidden behind the steel wall). On the top I do not like TX meta as well and recently there are more and more CV games at TX killing all remaining fun.

I have better idea. WG let us put as many captains as we want on one ship with skills adding up (like double or triple CE for loolz concealment). Of course we will pay in doubloons to retrain them every time we want to use them on the other ship (except for premiums - here I see a boost in sales). Whales are waiting with fat wallets!!!! There is no balance any more and the game is a cash grab lootbox galore anyway, so why not to go full speed ahead? At lest for some decision about leaving would be easier then. Ach and when steel will be sold? We want Stalingrads! And I'd like to sincerely apologise if I spoiled a secret business plan for 2020.

Those skills are so useless that I had to think hard to recall what are those skills even (IFA, HA)!

Ale zdajesz sobie sprawę, że to samo WG spowodowało to opóżnienie i popsuło WIZERUNEK gry i swój, a nie "niektórzy"? Tak tylko retorycznie pytam.

If I could I'd rather take Kita in TX ranked or CB. I think WG should allow into CB lower tier ships as well (not for ranked from obvious reasons). It should be clan's choice what line up to take. And it would be fun and a breath of a fresh air with new tactical opportunities.

Kita is better DD (one of the best in WoWs really) while Haru is better played like a CL (a kind of a beta Smolensk with improved pen but worse handling and no hydro or heal). Vulnerable as to torpedoes. Turning radius of BB, sloooow acceleration. Worth taking AFT (instead of CE even) or range upgrade to rain the fire whole game long. If you want more classic DD fun stick to Kita and keep her regardless of what you will decide.

You are doing it all wrong. It is too small. Here is what you should do really according to devs not playing even this game any more. I love the part about fighting planes and CVs most.

Capped all 3 caps with radar Mino in a CV game without even help from DDs in a form of a smoke. Killed all enemy DDs in a process and surprised with a radar Minotaur and Smolensk camping in a smoke. I love radar Mino. It is really fun and engaging even if map depended and very hard to do well often.

Not before they will try a few of T9 premium ships for only 60 euro for a bundle with a generous discount by WG and then they will be too heavy invested in the game to leave it.

You do not get it, those 2 lines are here to provide protection for master race, SAP useful only against DDs is not an accident. Longer radar range then concealment on brits too. Later after they disposed the little pests, they will take on the role of unarmed moving bots from the training room. One lucky salvo and pop. That is if a game lottery instead of skill will decide that they should pop or not. Because most of players can't aim WG made it work this way that BB aims in general direction and both parties should start to pray to RNGesus. Some games I can't miss citadels, on the other games despite of aiming the same way I'm just constantly hitting the water around the targets or if I can't miss because too close then shatters or overpens only. But I guess this is potato friendly so BBs sell well.

Fear not, many noobs will buy doubloons to convert and freexp their way straight up to such OP ship as Gearing. 9 kills every battle guaranteed. They will be in a big surprise when they learn about spotting abilities of radar, CVs and the firepower of Smolensk.

IFHE is mostly useless against BBs on Smolensk, as you do not pass any significant armour pen threshold on BBs, it helps mostly against some CA bows and sterns reducing fire chances at the same time, and anyway whenever you can use AP as it is lethal against not angled ships including BBs (do not aim at the belt of course).

I don not know, Smolenk can melt even TX BB quite fast, yesterday I tried full potato tactic in Smolensk. I parked broadside 12 km next to Kremlin and Yama and started shooting barely moving left and right in a smoke but also without the smoke hiding a bit behind the island but not really caring about being shot at by them. When I burnt them a bit they they pushed me. Effect? For them just overpens, for me over 150 k damage, Kremlin down, Yama weakened and actuality long range plunging fire from Montana finally killed me when I was still half HP. This think is broken as . But then catch one with A Russian or US radar cruiser and they go very fast.

Can't they? So since today no mercy. But then if @Cambera_1 is right and they actually can without anyone else supporting them then it's better to be sit quiet.

The worst choice is to offend by a good advice someone from the speshul division (usually 3 sniping German BBs or 3x 20km Shimas). Chat ban nearly guaranteed. Better just ping and do not write anything.

Kleber is abomination not a DD. Kaba on steroids and Kaba is hardly a DD. But then this game is becoming more and more broken and power crept with more and more stupid broken/fantasy ships loaded with gimmicks and/or just blatantly OP. They do not give a about the balance and the only spreadsheets they really care about are quarterly financial reports.

Quite sure it says destroyed by ramming.

BB limit has already kind of lost its point with introducing in a cruiser slot technically TX radar BB. For DD limit as nobody dares to play with more then 1-2 of them (save for meme 7 shimas games) there's no need for it. Way too much hydro and radar made them obsolete as a damage dealers and 1-2 is enough for smoking teammates, capping and spotting.

W dodatku jak zbalansować np radary? Mogliby zrobic takie operacje chociaż.

It's PR bull by WG with an aim to sell the lie that CVs are not OP and easy to counter.

I think it's useful to know whom I can rely on in my team, whom not and whom to be careful off on red team. On the other side known clan tags are good enough indication of who is who. No matter how bad my team is I try do do my best. Even if we lose I'll have at least some credits and XP besides throw can always happen when enemy gets greedy towards the end. It's not the tool bad in itself, it's who uses it and for what purpose. What I'd like most would be hp bars like in a mod on the side panels in the client. Sometimes I do not know how much hp have enemy on the other flank when I am changing flanks and this knowledge would be more beneficial then how good they are. So I'd know if I can push or if I should be careful. Very low unicum is still easier to kill then full Hp potato.

Usually after fist 2 minutes.

TBH I have more ships then I can play already. It would have to be special (not in a OP way but in a gameplay) but it's just another battlecruiser.

If by working you mean even crazier grind then last one then I am out.

Basically, Stalingrad for everyone! (That is if they will sell steel campaign we can expect Stalin stats to go down so any attempt to balancing will be completely out of question, mission accomplished comreades )
