Isn't the meme now "Simple Manoeuvres" ?

and Halland's ASW rocket launchers turned. WG: Leone & Okhotnik not having ASW is historically accurate Flamu : and where's the historical accuracy in an underwater sub out-running my destroyer running at flank speed?

Washes clean by immersing in deep water. *ping* *ping* *ping* We luv ya really @Atalante

Given these two factors I'd love to see the numbers of operations matches played in the previous patch (when old ops were reintroduced) compared to this patch (where you can't grind XP on tech tree ships or train up any commander and the the rewards are mediocre). Because I wouldn't be surprised if the stats have nose dived - HARD.

Occurs less often with non-secondary BBs, but you still get that Colorado trying to move from one flank to another. He gets about half way and everyone else has sank all the bots. But there's several notoriously bad players (possibly bots) usually in Pommerns that infest co-op matches. They all do the same thing, every time Abandon a flank and sail diagonally towards the centre of the map Turrets rarely point anywhere near the expected position of an enemy ship Rarely use the main guns at all. They always score poorly, often at the bottom of the table and sometimes struggle to make 3 digit baseXP.

... and IJN 100mm guns. So Akizuki, Kitakaze & Harugamo. Plus some IJN BBs that use them for secondaries (Kii, Shikishima ??) In all those cases, they also get to keep their fire starting capabilities.

A real shame you didn't do this before the economy rework. Regia Marina camos used to have fairly good XP bonuses IIRC. One of the favourite camos as it looks good too.

Careful. You might have a bunch of angry dark cultists suing you for deformation of character.

I thought that guy was one of WG's devs?

So that those potato team mates in Pommerns, that do the same damned thing, have something for their secondaries to shoot at.

I reckon the co-op player base is more salty after the introduction of subs. Prior to their arrival, I would rarely get reported, now it happens once a week or so. Typically, when I've had a good match an my score is at the top of the table. Out playing a team mate is the criminal, unforgivable sin. I suspect that now that subs are in matches, co-op players have made the effort to report team mates in subs as they got annoyed by the sub bots. It's then an obvious progression to report ANY team mate that annoys you. A no - it's not because of the ships I play. I avoid CVs & subs like the plague and rarely play Russian ships.

They can take citadel hits, but the shot has to be aimed well. Some other ships, high tier UK and Russian battleships are relatively easy to score citadel hits on (when they show broadside) as a significant portion of the citadel sits above the water line. The Inertia Fuse for High Explosive shell commander skill. Increases the penetration of HE shells but sacrifices the chance of setting a fire. This skill can be used by light cruisers and gun-boat destroyers to ensure damage can be done to ships with thicker plating over the bow/stern/super-structure sometimes deck plating too.

I'm kinda inclined to give credit to @Seraphice here as The differences in Naval Battles categories were not widely known (it was news to me) They've admitted the mistake & apologized here and elsewhere in the forum At least they didn't double-down on the accusation - otherwise we'd have to call Seraphice "Donald" for their reliance on the "Fake News/Screenshot" meme.

IIRC 6/7/8km for tier 6/8/10 CVs so it's a short range "no lurking" zone that's of no use to anyone else on the team.

Depends on your viewpoint. For WG's target 5% (if that's an accurate target) of the player base, the subs are the grand prize. For everyone else, they're the booby prize. Hence, why I took this approach:-

That is actually really easy to solve. If you're in a sub : Random op always gives Wolfpack If you're in a Halloween ship : You get the appropriate Halloween op for your ship tier. If you're in something else : You get a random op as normal. Not sure why WG felt the need to replace Random ops with the Halloween / sub ones when they can run concurrently.

Double clicking on the CONTAINERS tab in port takes you to the Armory instead of the cargo ship. Double clicking on other tabs, NAVAL BATTLES/COMBAT MISSIONS/CAMPAIGNS, works like a single click and takes you to the correct screen.

I'm glad I bagged the SC before WG screwed up ops.

True. Shoot HE at a bot. When it DCPs switch to another bot until you set a fire there and it DCPs. Then switch back to the first bot, set one or two fires. Then set one or two fires on the second bot. Bonus points if you can light up a third one.

Two Brothers map at sunrise does look really nice. Captain, sat on deck enjoying coffee & croissant. Crewman playing accordion music nearby. "Aaah, this is the life" *KLAXON* Enemy ship sighed ahead!!

She's not a bad ship at all. I quite enjoyed the German BCs Just looks like it fell out of the ugly tree, hit every branch on the way down and then had the tree fall on it after it hit the floor.

Flying contraption sighted, sir! Load the shuttlecocks!

I got the latter, EU, haul.

Zieten : well aren't you the pretty one?
