https://wows-numbers.com/clan/transfers/500194511,CLAWS-Paws-with-Claws/ 4 "members" remaining. Fun fact: At least one account is currently grinding with Bagration in his new clan. That's what happens if you offer 2 month of unlimited XP boost.

That still leaves the issue with players botting lines up to T8 or T9 before taking over and playing manually. While that process is not necessarily faster than grinding manually, the acquired player skill underway is zilch.

I love the implication that T10 is anyhow related to player skill level nowadays...

"Odinski" would be Polish, afaik...

Yup. I have the Kirov (a real ship!), hope she is getting a nice permacamo, and what happens in fairyland doesn't matter to me.

I can live with spending 1k per container, but with the recent "slight" increase to 6k for the Italian ones, WG can take those containers and do some reverse digestion with them...

The majority of humanity believes in some god or another and his omnipotence (curses included) - despite the alarming fact that the only source of their belief are spoken or written words of other humans. A lot of humans believe in conspiracy theories, homoeopathy and other things that defy logic, intelligence and science - again, based only on spoken and written words of other humans. Considering this, I am pretty sure a certain percentage of people will take such comments to heart and fully expect these things to happen. It always depends on what flavor of human you are talking to.

Then team damage should be entirely removed. It makes no sense to me why I can hit allies with weapons, but ploughing into them barely scratches the paint while the slightest tender touch of an enemy leads to devastation. Dumbing down the game won't teach people. Suffering damage will, sooner or later.

Short answer: She was not built, so she is of no interest to me - regardless of her features and price tag.

To be fair, some coop bots have begun to cheat a while ago. They now thread the needle and evade intersecting torpedo spreads with baffling ease, and they even possess the precognition to go evasive the very moment you launch your fish. It's now often easier to hit a human opponent then a bot. Fortunately, there are still "dumb" bots around, but you never know if the target is straightlining into death or switching into godmode.

But the muppet show concluded after 5 seasons...

I totally agree. Deliberate ramming should result in a penalty if your own ship is destroyed in the process and had more remaining health than the target. It may be ok if you ram as a last ditch effort when facing a much more healthy opponent, but throwing away a barely damaged ship unnecessarily because you can't hit a barn door with your guns is disgusting.

The game's ramming mechanism is the very same as in the original Pacman. Sophisticated coding from 1980...

I think I have tried most of my T7 by now, but as 10 pts commanders are not exactly competitive I have to rely on premium ships, so I can use my 19 pts commanders, who all happen to be either Japanese or German... so I basically ended up with mainly using Yudachi (underpowered but meme), ARP Myoko (butt ugly) and Scharnhorst B (black and beautiful). Scharnhorst proved to be the best allrounder. Tanky, fast, plenty of main guns, good 2ndaries and torps. Great to rush and annihilate everything that swims if you are sneaky and surprise it... and those nasty DD are in trouble if they get spotted within 8km. Don't know if I try to advance from rank 10, but if I do, it will probably be with Thea on the black bridge.

If you fight an opponent who matches your own skill, then the difficulty remains the same regardless if you are a noob or a pro. Better rewards for pros would be inappropriate, because the noob struggles as much to defeat another noob as the pro struggles to defeat another pro...

Like... sloppy secondaries?

"I DO NOT NEED COVER - I NEED LINE OF SIGHT!"

I have no accuracy modules installed, and if RNG does not totally you, it's not that hard to score citadels even at extreme ranges. You need to estimate the target speed and predict its course, but that is nothing specific to Yamato.

But playing Yamato forces you to play at T10, while playing Bismarck offers a slight chance NOT to play at T10. Roughly 10% - or at least it feels like that...

But if you have tutorials, you might actually acquire skill instead of frustration, so the wallet keeps closed because there is no disappointed potato paying hard cash for stuff that is waved in front of him as a solution to all of his problems...

My team tries to hide as many ships as possible behind one rock while I take on a BB division. And this is happening in the majority of my games. Well, "death" is in my name, so I don't care.

Just accept the reality. Regardless of tiers, lead they way. If the team follows your charge, you might win. If they camp, run away or calling for support behind a rock at spawn, charge anyway, deal some damage, die and directly jump into the next game. Sooner or later, you get lucky. I'm playing on one minor account today, with mediocre captains and silver ships, and in many games I was top scorer of the losing team and got 75% of all our kills. It's plain ridiculous, but there is nothing to be done about it. You CAN tell that Shokaku player that searching for a EU destroyer WITH HIS SHIP is not a good idea, but it won't prevent him from being sunk. You CAN tell some CL player that shooting his little guns at the enemy BBs looking for him is not a good idea, because we are about to win by points and he is our last survivor, but it won't prevent him from giving away his position and die. It is all sad, it is all utterly frustrating, but if you are not running some super expensive signals or camos, then a loss might dent your WR (if you consider WR to be important to you), but else it's just roughly 10 minutes of wasted time. It is survivable.

If there was a minimal WR of 50% for T10 random games... but then coop would be full of JB and Smolensk, I guess.

The only thing that feels like a downgrade from Aka is the change from 3 launchers to 2... heaving an extra launcher, regardless of tube numbers, is always nice. And triple launchers reload a lot faster than quads, too.
