So lots of money to be made

Not that your money matters and ever mattered as you have in the past already told us multiple times that wallet is closed. WG is selling new releases of "content" like crazy evident by the fast amount of new content they consistently release and the neverending events. The newest premiums and dockyard additions are instantly seen ingame in large numbers hinting at great amount of sales on day1 of every release. Noone will miss your money.

They will match them normally. They will be BBs and Cruisers. It's not like they will have the same amount of planes and attack runs as CVs. So these aviation BBs will be gimped once planes are shot down but likely can still bow tank if needed. No real loss just ships with different gimmicks again.

You tried quitting before. Didn't go so well. When is the 3rd topic about how WG hurt you going to happen?

are you joking? Halland and defense? What defense.

We had some good game together after that. We can play more in the future.

Gunboat Shima is lethal. She is a better option than Hayate (competetive view) but usually you don't want to build a Shima for Gunboat. Let's first talk about why Shima as gunboat build is good. The guns are same with Hayate on a single front Turret and 2 back turrets. This means Shima is made to fire while kiting. That doesn't stop her from initially engaging and then turning to kite either. Her 3 torp lanchers if the Shima is angled correctly to incoming fire will absorb Shells that hit them for 0 damage so Shima not only has superior firepower while running she is also the tankiest while kiting, comparable to a khaba because torps absorb the damage. At the same time she retains the effectiveness of having 3 launchers and her great concealment allows her to prepare a turn before being spotted herself always giving her the advantage in the engagement. But a Shima shouldn't be played as a gunbuild. It asks for a highly experienced player to be able to at all times preturn the turrets correctly and at no point in battle should the Shima be to close to an enemy DD as the Turret traverse just won't be able to keep up. She is not made for close knife fights because of that Turret traverse. She is also not made for smoke farming. So building her as a Gunboat has its advantages over other DDs only if her main strength, which are torps are given up on. Compared to Hayate... Hayate doesn't lack the bad Turret traverse of the Shima therefore can even fight close knife fights while retaining the advantageous Turret placement of Shima for kiting. Hayate is not a DD which chases but a DD which invites the enemy DD to chase. Hayate also has more than a second faster reload than a gunbuild Shima givint her a massive edge over Shima. Hayate only having 2 torp launchers doesn't stop them to serve the same tanky role as Shima especially since those launchers are so big and middle oriented albeit a bit less effective in absorbing Shells. Hayate having a 6.1km concealment is a disadvantage but a needed balancing point as otherwise she would just be to powerful. Regardless that concealment doesn't mean that she can't control engagements. Hayates alpha and Turret traverse are high enough to make up for the volley that the enemy who is out spotting her might fire first. The concealment also invites the Hayate player to play more carefully which means that risks that might be taken in less concealed ships like Shima aren't taken which can lead to a higher surv rate or better preserved HP for endgame. Hayate also makes much more sense to use her guns in smoke to fire at cruisers or BBs. with the high alpha and fast reload the damage can stack up quickly especially with the comfortable ijn shellarcs. Where a Shima would keep the smoke as an escape option the Hayate cab comfortable use it to farm ships if the situation allows it.

Hayate is a very underestimated ship.I have been hyped from day one when I heared about her release and was very happy to get her as soon as she released. She is very hard to play but the guns she has make up for that. The amount of alpha strike she can get out in a short amount of time with a gunturret setup favoring a kiting playstyle will devastate any DD attempting a chase with only Daring and Khaba being able to beat her on equal terms. Her torps have a long reload and are only 2x5 but as usable as 12km Shima torps. If you want a challenge that rewards clever play get yourself Hayate.

I haven't tried this mode yet and have never looked at screenshots of its MM before. So this to me looks like an April fools mode.

It's just luck. RNG and all. Also steel is in supercontainers since 2 years now? So for 3 whole years it wasn't even possible to recieve steel in your case and playtime.

You drop them from far away. The enemy will forget about them because they are so slow. And suddenly the torps appear next to them 30seconds later totally surprising them and causing a detonation.

It's quite difficult to understand with so little information given :/

You can find out by simply calculating the bonuses. In fact those skills and modules only make sense on ships with already high base AA values. the lower the base values the worse the skills and modules effect will be. So only halland/smalland/Friesland truly benefit.

Yes but back then these battles were quite rare so it wasn't felt as they are being felt today.

Imagine the games state if the majority were topclass CV players instead.

I feel offended please send help.

You can not get any XP back. But you get half the credits you payed for the purchased ships back when selling them.

Hello. There are no level 1 or 2 Battleships. To research the battleships you have to first research the Tenryu Cruiser and then collect enough XP on that Tenryu to research your first tier 3 Battleship, the Kawachi.

Go for the ships first. The commanders dont really make such a huge difference compared to the normal ones and their special abilities are disabled in competetive modes anyway. The ships however can be played in all modes.

I don't think so. It "should" be free.

It's chosen at random out of the 4 options.

Yes. The closest we come to skip bombing was with the HE DB exploit that let you concentrate all bombs on the tip of the reticle early rework which was removed.

Yes tell me and my 5 name changes about it. I payed enough worth a t8 BB premium!
