Nope @Everyone keep your heads down

took you a day to write this? Tbf this is what I expected from WG No apology, just a fake assurance Yeah sorry, my wallet is shut I wasn't expecting much but this lowered my expectations further So much for a 1 day delayed apology, and half baked one at best

honestly I just don't care at this point WG is never going to learn and improve based on their mistakes. This is evident through what has happened before Now that doesn't mean I don't want them to improve, I really like the games they make, and good games backed up by a good company brings not just profits, but positivity, friends, and a ton of fun But I have lost hope tbh.

tbf, it was a private channel, so it may seem like his private thoughts were leaked. And idk who did that, but they clearly didn't have the best of thoughts for Yuro

Ik he wrote in his discord but idk how this is an example. He wrote the n word multiple times, as well as another word that I'd rather not disclose And private channels to his friends, then why was it leaked to IChase? Its a public discord and certain roles have access to discord. The convo being leaked suggests that other ppl with the role that had access to that channel which means it was careless of him to do what he did. Albeit it could have just been an angry friend And idk where flamu's example came out of but he was always firmly against the company from the very start (I kind of disliked it coz WG can't be all bad, and oh boy how wrong I was proved), so its kinda of expected on which side he will be on. And everyone has their own preference. You an I don't like Flamu one bit, but he makes a point everytime. I'd like him to go back to doing informative and clear reviews tho. Now, he is just casually doing reviews like we forced him to. The current Elbing and Constellation reviews were kind of like that. I remember when he actually seriously did reviews, like Kleber. Showing multiple clips, data from sources to back his info up, a good and balanced review. Now its just cussing WG and his teammates at every mark, commentating the game rather than srsly focusing on the ship review, being in a very causal approach, and now I just have to take his word for it. He was best CC's review that I considered looking at for tech tree ships while LWM for prem ships. But now he's as much of a shitty reviewer as the next guy. He occasionally shines when talking about positioning and explaining it, but apart from that, he's just whining. But still he makes a point, and he was against the company from the start.

his point stands but his language and attitude has changed the views of ppl on him If you get called the n word multiple times by your fav CC, or see him use it as much as he eats food then what is your take on that?

WG art department is just a legend

huge portion of the community aka the playerbase that mattered. They are still just 1% of the entire playerbase. 50% of which are in support of subs while still stuck at T5 for a year

wrong thread no no Didn't you know dets are farmable? WG being the justifed god it is, helped the game so much by removing dets for sure. Like imagine if dets were controllable adding on to this. Can we have flak explosion selectors? Idea is that You have 5 flak for eg. So in battle, you select your flak explosion areas around your ship. You can pre select and save flak explosion sites around your ship (5 flak on one side, 5 flak on another), at any time during the battle. That way, you are making a no fly zone in some areas and planes have to watch out. Different combos of flak explosion positioning could be the outcome of this which would make more experienced players shoot down planes more, and the less skilled ones eat more. Now this can be by default, or it could be a skill for all classes.

for sure

when a BB one shots you more than a CV

they might look at this thread y'know

I honestly don't have problem of shifting CVs from RTS to arcade. However, the protection and the AA now just being a mitigation factor is what pissed me off about the rework So if they buff AA is general, or make the CV ez to kill when you finally find it, then I think CVs will be alright imo

Mr Crazy dude You did great The community is with you on this This needed to happen Here's to 1000 more games before WG adds subs and many of ours final straw is broken

WG was never really the most smartest of companies. So idk whether the whole CC leaving this is intentional. But maybe they will take advantage of this with the affiliate program. But srsly. CCs was such a good program back in the day. Now its a shitshow

Well secondary BBs are back German BBs, prem American BBs (Massa, Georgia, Ohio), higher tier French BBs, some Japanese BBs (Mutsu, Kii, Shikishima, Amagi, etc) So they are back, they are a bit more complicated in use tho. You need to actually take good positions

its a good grind. Rivals the Japanese BB grind imo for me. All the ships are decent to good. Dante was decent, Conte di Cavour was enjoyable, Andrew Doria was decent, F.C was really good, Veneto was eh but playable especially with smoke, Lepanto was good, and CC was amazing. First, get the sniping mentality and secondary BB playstyles out of your head. These ships have a lot of guns or few very good guns, but they have mediocre to down right terrible accuracy. These ships have a ton of secondaries that fire quickly, but most of them ae 90mm with a couple of 152mm guns, so at best you will set fires and deal inconsistent damage. You aren't a dedicated brawler, you aren't a sniper. You are a mid range ship. You stay closer to the action than any other BB that aren't frontline tankers like ze Germans and Russians. You deal damage with you SAP. Remember to aim for weak areas to deal the most damage. You have good shell velocity, good turret traverse speed, and high number of guns, so you should be comfortable at mid range fights. Remember to switch to AP on broadsides. Remember, you aren't a British BB, you can't just rely on one ammo type and score high damage and have high impact. You need to fire both I recommend Luigi Sansonetti as your captain for Italian BBs, and recommend the Gun Feeder skill, as it really is a nice skill to have. You have to be the damage dealing bully 12km away from the enemy, and you have to stay angled at all times. You have decent maneuverability and conceal for a BB in the mid tiers. You have decent maneuverability for a BB and smoke to get you out of trouble at T8+. As for AA, well its defensive. Low range but high DPS and respectable number of flak. You will mitigate strikes but you aren't stopping them. I had to learn all this when I was at F.C when dead eye failed me. This is the build I am currently using in light of the Commander skill change Brisk is also a decent option to have. I am using Gun feeder to switch ammo types coz I use both shell types reasonably well. Vigilance, coz why not. You don't have hydro so having a bit more warning and mitigation is really nice. PM becoz turrets are flat so they have a higher risk of breaking. GtG/Brisk are you options here. I use Improved Repair party Readiness at T3 (IRPR) becoz these ships have surprisingly low HP for well armored ships, so you will get more value out of this skill. Also ERS, November foxtrot, and IRPR helps your cd get to a level where you can pull of some smoke heal shenanigans with it. Finally FP and CE, as they are really good choice on any BB. Now ERE is also nice to have, so alternatively, you could drop PM and IRPR for ERE (extra heal and all). But that's just personal preference I'll link you a couple of guides on Italian BBs (some of the reviews of the T10 should teach you how to play the remaining tiers) That's a ton of links, and I think it should be enough to guide you with the playstyle of these ships. This line is quite good tbf, when you play them to your strengths. And they can be good comp ships, especially the high tier ones becoz of SAP and smoke Sorry for the long reply, am terrible of explaining it in brief.

edited he didn't defend WG He stated that all this doesn't matters since WG doesn't care And he's got a point However its his tone that's the problem He apologized tho we can only hope he doesn't pull a WG and double down.

Columbo sec fire rate is greater so they end up setting a ton of fires. And 152s still pen stuff So Columbo doesn't need more than that. It also has smoke mid you, so that would be broken. If anything, Columbo secs getting SAP as their ammo type would be a better and more viable option Kremlin has never been the secondary brawler. HP buff or not. Its literally irrelevant, the main guns are that good. Kremlin also shatters all sorts of HE, so giving Kremlin good secs would make it broken af up close. Now giving it the same level of secs as the remaining BBs whose base secs aren't that good in the first place is pointless tbh and insignificant in the current state of things. I wouldn't mind those changes, but it would mean jackshit to the majority of the players who own the ships.

y'know, Plymouth would fit Mino's spot better imo. Its more in synergy with the line than Mino oh yeah they don't kinda funny actually

he has his own irl problems His fiancé is not in the best of state, so he is trying to support her, mental distress, content and all He needs a break from all the funny jokes about him

Denarmo, Cyle too Trenlass isn't leaving

DDs were actually the only class to get that diversity out of the commander rework funnily enough (not counting CVs ofc)

that's just utter bs Gunboat DDs are already strong as they are. They don't need any IFHE changes whatsoever. If you can't pen crap, learn the weak spots of the ship and fire there, such as superstructure Why an IFHE rework?
