Thanks much for starting this thread, albinbino. You are trying to highlight what not to do. I know this was not your intention, however, you have inadvertently gotten responses that provide a lot of 'mirth'. It will take some time to read through all the posts but I thank-you for these gold mines of 'incomprehensible play' (aka 'hilarity')

LOL. Good one, Sub Octavian. You mean the St. Pete *Dreamwerkx* (fantasy) archives, don't you? Hey, NP, so long as we get options for that particular upgrade slot. LOL Now this is the high tier Ru BB I want should I decide to speed free exp to it. The Soviet Navy response to the bigger BB is the better BB. Hopefully, it's modules & upgrades will be historical.

I'm, personally, looking forward to the Gangut Ru BB. I already have an almost 10 pt Cpt for it 'a training' on my last T1 (Orlan). I'm into the historical ships as opposed to blueprints (although I have some exceptions).

From the new Tech Tree 'roll out model' there will almost certainly be an event for Ru BBs just like there has been for Brit DDs (for example). The only players who will have to start at a T1 ship (the Orlan, in this case) will be those brand new accounts that begin after the Ru BB tech tree line goes 'live' (just those ones).

I thought the Guilo Cesare got sold to the Soviet Union at one time - the Pyotyr Velikiy has two gun main turrets as opposed to the four gun main turrets of other BBs so this is confusing to me. NP, I will be grinding to some Ru BB - not quite sure which one yet (tho, if the Sovetsky Soyuz is even remotely 'historical', as blueprinted, then I will want that).

OK, whew, thanks …… so that was 'fake news' (wipes sweat off his brow)

Nooooooooooooo! Ahhhhhhhhhh ……… my beloved V-25? Nooooooooooooo. Please, …….. (this is 'fake' news ….. isn't it?) Does WG have to take the fun out of 'everything'?

maybe I've been lucky, El2aZeR, so far I've only seen one blatant failtard division that has done that. I went so far as to report the one clan guy to his clan commander & the commander booted him (so some good came of that). there could not have been any other explanation (tho personal observations are often subjective). as the comment is coming from you, a player I often agree with & value your opinions, I'm sure you are probably correct.

It all depends on whether you think the CV rework is a good idea or not. I had the Graf Zeppelin (on my NA account) and I sold it along with my seven other CVs. On principle, I will never play the, imho, FARCE reworked CVs. This is my 'approach'. My advice is for everyone who dislikes the CV rework to do the same &, thereby, send WoWS a message.

Here in EU, I don't have many tiers of DDs nor do I have enough higher tier DDs on my NA account to be knowledgeable to have 'true' favourites. With these caveats, I do have some favourites (some 'keepers') ; T2) The V-25 (here & in NA) (it's just so much 'fun' to run & torp & even gun a bit, lol) T3) The 'Derzki' (in NA) (see post #3 above) T4) The Clemson (here & in NA) (see post #6 above) T5) The Minekaze (in NA) (though it is not like it used to be) T6) The Gnevny (in NA) (run & gun or is that gun & run?)

I do not try to intentionally run along near or on a border (unless trying to flank), however, some 'camper' types and 'cowards' do. Also, CVs often camp a border now. I have also seen players intentionally use a border as a defensive tactic to assist in avoiding incoming enemy fire. Sure, running on a border slows one down but it also makes it more difficult to target a border runner. Hence, I am surprised more respondents think there should be no extra damage done to 'border huggers'. One would think the opposite should be true as an extra damage penalty would encourage less 'border hugging'. Anything that would discourage 'border hugging' should be supported. I find it incredible that so many respondents to this poll think 'border hugging' should not be penalized. Is this because so many actually 'border hug' intentionally?

Sure would be nice if WG would refund actual money but I don't think they do unless it's a very rare circumstance. With WG, it's, imho, 'Buyer beware'.

& why not take advantage of that fact if you play the new CVs.

No, sorry, Sir Amra, the real CV haters cannot be let off so easily - let them 'squeal'. Let them have CV cake if they cannot have non-CV bread (as Marie Antoinette might have said).

Main course is WoBBs with a little new CV sauce thrown in for 'taste' (a bad one, imho). Remember to eat your veggies (cruisers) and avoid fried foods (DDs). Bon Apetit.

My understanding of the new reworked CV play is it doesn't really work properly. The whole idea appears to be inherently broken. I tried the reworked CV play in testing, found the rework a FARCE and then when it went live, I sold all my CVs.

No, it is not, imho, worth keeping any Premium T8 CV. In NA, I sold all my CVs inc the GZ as a protest regarding the FARCE CV rework. The Doubloons, credits & free exp can be used for upcoming new non-CV content.

Hopefully, Never.

Same two things starting to happen here concerning maps as what happened in WoT. #1) Whiners are whining about all the maps (even Ocean, lol, where there are no 'island imbalances' at all, lol) & ... #2) WoWS Map Developers are listening to the Whiners and taking a hammer to anything that is different (Gee, again, just like what happened in WoT) Does a Leopard change it's spots?

Not me. I always ran DBs on my GZ. Sold it (& all my CVs) when the CV rework FARCE went live. I suggest, einsnullvier, you sell your GZ - all the new CVs are, imho, jokes anyway.

Another satisfied WoWS CV customer/player (ROFL)

I don't have this problem as I don't play FARCE CVs. I sold all my old CVs on my NA account. I advise everyone to do exactly the same thing & send WoWS a message.

They never asked me. My answer would have been, "please, No" You cannot fix something that is, imho, inherently unworkable (aka crap, as you put it). I mean, a ship class that is missing all the odd tier ships? I mean, c'mon WoWS, take a look in the mirror (it's not Dr Jekyll who you see, it's Mr Hyde)

I still play but not CVs - not these FARCES WoWS offers now. Well Bondone this is who they are marketing to - the kiddies. I got radiated. Did you? I don't think it worked, tho, I'm still not a Zombium. I suspect I have immunium to virusium. Forumions seem to have little effect on me (fortunately). Not to worry, wooshipin67, I will never play the reworked FARCE CVs

I'm from NA (Canada)(a refugee here, lol) & WoWS would be shooting themselves in the foot in NA considering the Latino presence there in the US (I do not use Spanish tho one of my children has taken Spanish as a language in school). I know NA server has a Spanish Forum. Considering the whole SW of the US (that the US stole from Mexico) is going to be majority Latino soon, I find that 'hilarious' too - also, it's why the 'Grump' wants a Wall - rofl). All SNAFU as they say (or FUBAR).
