Me : play operations.

WG are incentivizing you to play BBs more.

I thought you'd missed what the actual changes are. But that's .... it

The T6 Kijkduin & 7 Eendracht CLs are quite good in co-op. The T8 CA Haarlem was completely underwhelming though. No idea about the T9 as I skipped it after getting fed up with Haarlem

I've often got close to 400 in Gronningen, I might have exceeded. The record I do remember is around 880 in Minotaur once. Shame there wasn't a ribbons mission running at the time. Someone even laughed at the silver rainbow of death arcing across the sky.

I've tried that approach, and yet WG still manage to fail. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I did well over 60k fire damage in a co-op match with Groningen yesterday. Thought to myself, I wonder if the commander liked playing with matches when he was a boy?

Even though I have all FreeXP ships** I still find this sad, and was quietly (and remotely) hoping there may be some additions - T7 Tokachi could have been a good one for those that missed it from the premium battle pass. ** Yes, even Hayate which for a co-op main took a lot of self control to wait and save up for.

Gronny (and I assume Freisland too) is quite a reliable credit/commander XP/FreeXP earner in co-op. It's waaay different to the tech tree PanEuro DDs (if you're associating Friesland with them) as it has no torps but has long lasgting smoke and hydro so is easier to play, IMHO. Turrets turn quickly through 360° and have a terrifying rate of fire - great for contributing to "Score X ribbon" missions. From what I've heard in randoms, it can struggle when someone in a BB or CA knows you have no torps and charges your smoke screen. Hhhhm, I wonder if a Gonningen has ever shared its smoke with an unspotted radar Hsienyang behind it?

Cuttlefish are actually quite smart and have a complex nervous system - all those pigment cells require a lot of sophisticated control to maintain that adaptive camouflage. I suspect most cuttlefish could be quite insulted when shown some of the gameplay we see on the oceans.

Port carousel :- Add filter for ships with permanent bonus packages

Inventory : Change the default number of expendable camos to sell from 1 to how many you actually have.

Replay UI Replace the quick command overlay (B key) with another overlay that includes a progress gauge so that you can quickly navigate to a certain timestamp. Progress gauge could include markers of significant events so that it's easy to skip to interesting bits of the battle. First enemy sighted Your kills Your own, or allies, death zone captures achievements Also include playback controls Pause / resume Speed up / slow down return to start

Scroll out the camera zoom a notch or two. Granted, this can be less than ideal when you're trying to shoot a Kleber that's running at full steam.

Apparently @BLUB__BLUB likes to counter-grief Nakhimovs with them.

Surely, that should only be Friday. Sorry, I'll get my coat and see myself out...

First slight of hand in that area was Distant Voyages crates. Before the economy change those crates dropped a perma camo with its attached economic bonuses. Now they still drop the cammo, but WG no longer includes associated perma bonus.

Trump's favourite ship, perhaps?

Kinda surprised that damn Wagatha Christie trial wasn't mentioned (even though it was a civil, not criminal, trial). Handbags at dawn with the only winners being the lawyers.

Actually when the Brits do insult you, they can do it politely. So subtly you don't even realize until about half an hour after the conversation finished. So maybe we just find that kind of stuff hard to legislate against.

And I thought good ol' Blighty was known for being polite. Not being slack about letting insults fly around left, right and centre.

I thought it as a lower-case L (not an upper case i) and naturally, being a C/C++ nerd, thought of the Unix linker, ld None the less, I was a bit confused Why would you need to reference a Unix development tool in a Windows game? Why would you get chat banned for it?

Only gripe I've got with the T7 is the tectonic turret traverse that you need to work around in quick paced co-op matches. Anyone know how much XP you need to unlock the T8?

Yeah, I've noticed that too. A few patches ago bots were better at avoiding collisions with each other and avoiding islands. Almost feels like that improvement has since been reverted back out.

I thought it was the PvP crowd that complained as they no longer could "just dive into co-op and yolo rush through missions". Although, the truth was probably somewhere in between - complaints from both groups.
