They can do well, for themselves, but not often. But the burden they all bring, with maybe the exception of secondary spec Graf Zepplin, is that they don't share the burden of being shot at. So the rest of the team have to take on even more incoming fire.

I don't think Narai is any harder in itself, it just that players have got a lot worse. For example all BBs going after secondary objectives instead of the PRIMARY objective. Maybe such players should get an XP / credit penalty if the operation is a failure.

Problem with random ops is you can't choose your favourite ship for that scenario. Or even a specific ship that you may be researching - a particular problem for newer players. So you end up choosing a solid general purpose ship that's OK for most ops. For me, that seems to be good old Cleveland.

In addition to @ColonelPete's above comment on random ops, it would be nice if the match maker could, at least try, to form same tier teams. That would be fairer on newer players who may still only have T6 ships, or be using ops to do the T6 grind.

Armoury is OK here in the UK.

This, so much. I'm not sure of player stats, but the teams I've had lately have been terrible. Me in Cleveland tried to carry in Narai after two BBs went for the enemy transports and the other BB went for the CV. I got taken down to 20% health by the Missouri, because the BBs weren't there to take it on and tank, and then had to escort our troop transports with an Edinburgh & Agile. We had a Flint but he got taken out early, prolly by the Missouri. No prizes for guessing the result. Narai used to be a good investment of high value XP/credit boosters, but even that is becoming hard to carry.

Remember kids : Recycling is important! The torpedo that missed one battleship bot can always be used to sink another.

Even more are surprised when my Cleveland or Atlanta cuts across their bow to maximize the amount of time those planes are within the range of my AA guns.

Always make a backup of the file first.

Kinda surprised that wasn't the gimmick of the premium subs given WG's normal modus operandi. WG : introduce problem by adding (free) tech tree subs to the game Also WG: Buy solution from premium shop.

... and one WG haven't broken ... yet.

Not for WGs chosen ones - CVs & subs.

And can only do so after the ridiculous 6 min prep time on the sub surveillance hydro. A great deal of use that is in co-op ... where the match will probably be over before it is ready.

Probably the only way WG could make ship dropped depth charges effective (ie not suicidal) would be to not share any spotting, from the sub, with their team when at periscope depth or deeper. So a DD vs sub fight becomes a 1 vs 1 rather than 1 vs half the reds. Probably could be explained along the line of "sub cannot communicate intelligence data via radio when submerged" or something.

And, annoyingly, operations don't qualify for Naval Battles, so No escape from subs for Naval Battles Few opportunities for PvE players when its a BaseXP week in Naval Battles - 800 BaseXP in co-op is quite hard.

True. But the bot AI is, well let us say ... limited. So they hardly make the best use of the "silent hunter" modus operandi by sailing on the surface a lot and pinging away, often at a target that is way outside of their torp firing arc. Bot subs are annoying to play against but I would imagine human sub players, in randoms, are more of a significant threat. One of the reasons, like @lovelacebeer, why I'm avoiding randoms like the plague.

One was missed : Makarovstadt

I always find it funny when a super CV or super BB enters co-op ... and comes last. So how many credits did that flex cost you?

"cohesive play experience"

In the case of a program crash, in C/C++ coders can register exception handlers that are called when the OS detects a segmentation violation. The client's exception handler could then send a packet to the server to indicate the client has crashed. That way the server could discriminate disconnections between a rage-quit and a crash that is no fault of the player's. In the latter case the penalty could be relaxed.

The armour doesn't seem significant ... for the mid tier CLs. I've not done a side-by-side comparison, but a Minsk can citadel the cr@p out of them at close range. And in a training room today a clan mate in Fuso one-shotted my full health Gokaze.

Do you reckon this camo would give me a better chance in Operation : Killer Whale?

You forgot Makarov Lima

Not to mention lighthouse auctions.
