Exactly. It's the same copyright move that musicians use to prevent the Trump campaign from associating their music with its fascist politics.

No, it can't boast about its AA guns because outside of Halland and perhaps Kidd, no ship has effective AA guns. You gutted them to make placebos of pretty fireworks. Remember guys?

Other avenues appear to be slower. I own a few copyrights, so I can see both sides. The problem for me was that they waited so long.

No PR disaster here, quite the opposite. WG appears to have handled it well, having exhausted all avenues, they moved on him. I doubt the community will get too excited about it.

My god dont encourage them.

My JBart and a couple of other french BBs use this captain. I don't run Conceal, given the CV plague its usually a waste of 4 points. Occasionally it would be useful, but usually ducking behind an island works just as well, and doesnt cost captain's points.. I tend towards tankiness, dead ships dont win games.

For sure. Kansas is ridiculous and Minnesota trash. I actually had fun with Kansas grinding it up in coop, though. It's such incredible trash that it was a challenge against the old bots (the updated bots suck and are no fun to play against). In Minnesota I had a 337K coop game, so had some fun grinding that in coop. I played Kansas in Randoms once. Once. It sucks that the developers ruined what could have been a really fun and challenging line of BBs with slow reloads, poor gun performance, and iffy armor. Kansas is one of the easiest BBs to citadel too, on top of her crap guns.

Ditto.

Nothing amusing about it. He came to have a fun match in a fun ship. All you did was grief him to death, and then brag about how you killed a ship who couldn't stop you, while taking zero risk yourself. Disgusting.

That's the one silver lining of WG monetizing griefing .... most griefers are bad players

That has never happened to me. Whereas in two runs the Russian Bias Botes generate 2-3 fires each time. And they send out wave after wave. As I said, malice. All CVs suck, but the Russian ones are complete crappy to play against.

Every time I get in Yoshi I just think "If I want to set fires, Thunderer is better" or "What can Yoshi do that Thunderer can't?" Yoshi is fun, but can't carry. In fact, she seems to eat cits more often kiting than Azuma. So I seldom play her, since Thunderer is more effective in that same playstyle, and has the added bonus of having brutal AP.

My god seven losses in a row. First rule: quit after two losses in a row. Go do something else.

Azuma

Dude. Every time you open a crate, you have an 88% chance that you will not get a ship. You have a 12% chance of getting a ship. That is only a chance. Just like, every time you roll a 6 sided die, you have a 16.6% chance of getting a 6. Ever rolled four times in a row and not gotten a six? of course. That's all. You did that with that 88% chance. You hit it 12 times, odds are not bad for that, about 21% of people will buy 12 crates and get nothing.

Subs were seldom if ever part of naval melees. Like aircraft carriers, their function is to create arbitrary damage that sends players back into the queue s soon as possible, to cause collapses and speed up games. The testing. Is not to determine how to balance Subs. It is to determine how much griefing the player base will tolerate without the game collapsing. Once WG decided it could monetize griefing, submarines became inevitable.

It's seriously a crapshoot. I can usually carry, but not in AR. It's coming to Randoms irrespective of player feelings. They want to turn the game into a debased arcade crapfest. Sad, considering what this game could have been.

Hard no. The ships are already too arcade-y as it is. And this proposal is P2W. Definitely not.

They are a blast in coop so far. I ground up Heinrich in coop and really enjoyed it. Torps! Secondaries! Pew pew pew. Alas, the citadel is just too exposed....

The Russian bias is screamingly obvious. More and more I view the dev decisions as the result of malice. Only malice could explain the idiocy that is Russian CVs. Incompetence can't explain it, because you have to be competent to run the damage over time calculations and refine the skip bombers. Those ships just suck. Imagine what kind of person you would have to be to play that or put it in the game.

have them all on my NA account excecpt Salem and CVs. Have Yoshi on EU. Quite a few things I'd like on EU, but I am grinding T7s and the constant uptiering to T9 is tiresome. So I am avoiding EU at the moment.

They are too busy monetizing griefing to bother with fixing something that would help players understand the game better.

Hey, just want to take a moment to thank the devs for introducing those Russian CVs! Wow, it is so much fun to take a 12K bomb hit for three fires and then immediately get hit for another 10K and two fires! Who wouldn't love that interaction! This game design is pure genius! I bow to the superiority of minds that decided to monetize griefing.

Yes, that's how I feel about her too. I stopped playing her because I had little influence on the battle outcomes in her.

Just another reason to avoid the insanity that is T10.
