Solve the Riddle of Steel, Conan, and you will be fine because neither Crom nor players will be laughing at you anymore. You got to see it from a teamplay perspective: The time both enemy CV are wasting with you, your comrades in arms have all the time of the world to win the game, honoring your noble sacrifice.

Ocean is the only map that feels like being in a naval battle instead of playing Counterstrike.

Red, red whine... but happens if you have >95% battles in battleships and don't know what other vessels are capable of.

After 1942, eight 53.3 cm (21 in) above-water torpedo tubes were installed in two quadruple mounts, one mount on each side of the ship. (Gröner, Erich (1990). German Warships: 1815–1945. Vol. I: Major Surface Vessels. Annapolis: Naval Institute Press. ISBN 978-0-87021-790-6)

Looking at the avatar: The activity in question was shaving?

The bigger and faster the BB get, the more fuel they consume for their increased engine power requirements. Conserving precious fossile fuel by only moving when absolutely necessary is good for our planet!

Even in "modern" countries old buildings exist, with landlords who do not feel like investing heavily into space age wiring. I have ONE socket per room, the building itself could be a multiple war veteran and the wiring may precede my arrival on this doomed planet. While the connection is pretty stable, it is not the fastest, so I guess reliability issues are to be expected elsewhere when wiring is not up to present standards and wireless connections are rare and weak, both pretty likely in rural regions with less population density.

Clan flag (own design?) would be very welcome!

High ping, packet loss, stuttering also impair gameplay and reduce efficiency... And now we move to the next danger: Unreliable power sources. Power outages happen, even in a supposedly modern country. Not everyone is keeping an emergency electricity generator in ready state. What is the argument here? Link an exercise bike to your computer and keep on pedaling while playing? And what if your computer itself breaks down, suffers a malfunction? All real possibilities. You cannot prevent all these. But anyway, how could the game probably detect if you were disconnected or just cut you connection because you wanted to avoid a penalty for leaving the game out of free will? Not my field of expertise.

I try to avoid T10, but somehow I end up with my T8 in T10 matches so often that I expect nothing else in advance. Add to this some extremely lopsided matchmaking (in this example 0 radars vs 5?), and you head into the game with a feeling of "WG, why do you want to me at every possible opportunity?". And though miracles happen, I guess that kind of gloomy anticipation sets the mood for many players who only play T10 ships - for which they aren't ready - because they feel they would do much worse in their T8 ships in a T10 match.

Not needed in coop (sure about that, because I'm a coop main) Not necessarily useful for gunboats where you might need the points for gunnery skills and fire your guns as often as you can - thereby revealing you continuosly (guessing, because I don't play gunboats if I can avoid it)

DD start at T2, mate Tachibana, Umikaze, V-25, Smith... alle the fun jollyboats.

What exactly IS low tier? I am reading a lot of "T5" stuff here, which is - mathematically - alongside T6 rather "mid tier". I would consider T1 - T3 to be low tier, with T4 being kind of a transitional tier from low to mid.

I wonder why. I still cannot convice myself to get her. I won't even give up my B-hull Omaha... as an IJN main, the number of torpedo tubes is super important to me. Torpedo range is not.

There should be a checkbox pop-up after hitting the BATTLE button: [ ] I do not play this ship to face +2 tiers opponents more often than not, I play this ship to face equal tier opponents. I have patience to wait for that kind of match. [ ] I do not care into which kind of you pitch me, give me your worst.

Common sense: You should definitely have one prepared before you let anybody into your bedroom.

The V-Wing!

I can confirm that!

He also claims to have read ALL of my posts, so numbers might not be his particular field of excellence.

NO ONE expects a Umikaze A hull with full secondary built.

Oh, we DID win this, even without air support. Quite embarrassing for the enemy CV, I guess...

Granted - such things happen, but 20 minutes were more than enough time for even me with my old PC (mech hard drive) to relog.

When you meet T4 CV in a T7 game...

Sneaky capture of enemy port
