Just a couple of questions on things that don’t seem to make sense: 1. how can three elements of a ship be knocked out (in this case rudder, torpedo tube and and AA gun on an Östergotland) when all the shells missed and I took 0dmg? 2. Is it right that a deep water torpedo can completely destroy a deck mounted torpedo rack (eg on a Napoli or Pommern) considering that it is physically impossible for the torpedo to hit the module? just wondered if anyone could explain if the game works out module breaking correctly!

Aha…so module health and ship health are entirely separated now? That seems…odd…considering they are all part of the same vehicle? (Also add European DDs to ‘prone to getting engine knocked out) :) To me the torpedo rack being destroyed by a deep water torpedo is confusing…it’s on deck, so about 2-3 metres above the waterline at a minimum…’deep water torps’ cannot hit DDs as they’re too far down…it just seems odd! Steering gears and engine make sense as they’re in the water…but i guess if the explosion travels through the water and the air… :/

What is the thinking behind these??? Just had a match, all that was left was me in a fubuki, they had a CV and a hybrid ship...so effectively like they had 2 CVs and the fact that they had lost their DDs relatively early did not inhibit their spotting capabilities at all. 200 points ahead and 2 base to their 1...and then two squadrons of fighters appear and delete me from the earth. Game over. Their guns appeared to not be in any way weakened to compensate with pretty damn good accuracy, so it’s a case of ’oh he’s gone behind a rock, I’ll just send out my fighters and strike him, as AA doesn’t really work so I’ll be fine’. Games are meant to be enjoyed...most people ‘tolerate’, and I use that word in the loosest possible sense, the presence of CVs...I just think that putting these ships in play just pours salt on an already weeping sore... Just wondered if anyone else had opinions on these Frankensteinerschiffs - ships bodged together... :)

I present this - 20/24 ships still alive at game end. I think the game gave me the first position as I was the only one who crossed the halfway Mark on the map...before I retreated as I realised that no one else thought about moving... I believe a combination of Deadeye BBs and a false belief that you get an XP bonus if your ship leaves the battle unscathed...I will admit that it’s a sad state of the game if this happens more often... Wondering if anyone has a worse result? 😂 (and I’m not proud of how I did in the battle...but at least I did something!)

Aww that sucks!!! stick with it though...through the toxicity; people seem to forget it’s a game, it’s not life and death... When people message you abuse after a battle and tell you to hang yourself, that’s when the game has reached a new low... (I reported them...I don’t think they got banned, it still says their account exists). Also when it’s one player has grief (no idea why) and then get’s his whole clan to abuse you...fun times :( It just needs to stop - just because someone does something different to what you can see across the map doesn’t make them a ‘bad player’. They had to make a snap decision in the moment, sometimes it goes well, sometimes it doesn’t. If you enjoy the game in spite of these children (they are immature, ergo children, even if they are 35 living in their mother’s basement) then please stick with it! i do agree that higher tiers are soooo much worse - battles with T8-10...shudder...just because you have a ship that level doesn’t make you a good player; getting 500xp 5000 times will get you a high tier...it means nothing. Just enjoy the game, if it gets bad, switch to a tier 5-7 and have fun (a great reason to keep my Zara around!) for a few games and dip back in - find the balance! :)

Hi, I was wondering if someone could explain what this ship is - ive never seen it before and I just had a battle where it appeared to be a BB but then kept sending bombers... I mean battles are frustrating sometimes when a ship you’ve never heard of doesn’t behave like it’s usual counterparts (Anchorage having torpedoes anyone?) but this seemed...ridiculous. thanks!

Oh ok - thanks! There was just so little information on it that I couldn’t work out what it was. it’s similar to seeing those upcoming German DDs in battle a few weeks ago and having no clue what their USP was...

Upgraded Le Fantasque with Radio Detection is how to do it apparently!!! except for the last few games against a Shokaku...I only just got to detect him, travelling at 50kts most of the way!!!
