Though that goes into potato-potato territory.

I mean, the complete German term for them is Unterseeboot. Literal translation being submarine boat.

Nowhere near where I would have heard about it. And I am one to log in and checking the news daily. Also he's not a CC anymore, so I'm not sure if WG would even want to.

So long as he keeps those blinders on? Nope.

It does make the net gain a lot better than on a tech tree X. Not on tier IX premium levels, mind you. But the tier X special/premium/whatchacallit are not too far behind on net gain. Somewhere around where tier VIII premiums are, according to a list I've seen. The higher perma bonus somewhat leveling out the higher maintenance and lack of extra profit factor. Tier IX still make for the most efficient credit grinders though. No arguing about that.

You've got to learn to read context, Pete. Not just every word or sentence for themselves.

That's apparently what he'd been told, yes. Current update on things being that the freebies should come in upon logging in on the 24th for a bit. Whether that holds true remains to be seen.

I've once had a coop go the whole twenty minutes. On a loss. With a full player team.

Except if you ask for assistance, you mean? I wished I'd been playing for long enough to have him as a captain. Too late now, unfortunately.

No they are not? Apart from the distance involved, he described precisely the situation in the video. I honestly had no trouble whatsoever following that.

Mind you, I'm working off the source data you give yourself, hence the mention of 8x120mm. But as for the predecessors: You already reduce the number of guns but raise the calibre from tier VII to VIII (from 8 120mm guns to 6 140mm guns). So there really is no need nor reason to jump right up again. Especially if you are going to raise the calibre even further to 150mm (which I would do on the tier IX). Just adjust the reload slightly to balance the tiers. And/or the turret shift. 8 150mm guns are just too much on a destroyer. You need to either go down in calibre or go down with the number of guns. The latter making more sense here. As I said: Even the biggest and gunniest among the large calibre destroyers, ships that actually were light cruisers in real life, only have 6 of them. That is more than enough.

I think the artillery bug is still around? I have been having some weird shots every now and then. (One example today: Aiming a bit low on mid-range cruiser and firing forward turrets, correcting my aim to a bit higher for the back turret. Forward shells fly long, backwards turret falls short.) That's not really a point blank thing though.

One thing I just noticed: You change a lot on the main tree tier IX and X in artillery, compared to what you give as a source. The source has them with either 8 120mm guns or 6 150mm guns. Not 8 140mm and certainly not 8 150mm guns. Why do that, just balance by the rate of fire. Besides, 8 150mm guns do seem a lot on a DD. Too much, actually. Even Elbing and Tromp only have 6. And those are actually light cruisers, if you read the background.

Und heute noch zwei Kleine aus den täglichen Paketen in der Waffenkammer: 20'000 Elite Kapitäns-XP und ein Hafenplatz.

Sehr nice, Plueckbaer! Bei mir ein SC von den täglichen Containern: 15'000 Kohle.

Two small ones (for free and 150 dubloons from the Armoury): 20k elite captain xp and a port slot.

SC from dailies: 15k coal.

Technically that is still on the 23th somewhere.

Can confirm. It is a Steam DLC.

That is all kinds of awesome.

I like those, with one major point of critique: The second tree should go, imho. The Limburg doesn't bring anything to the game that the Groningen doesn't already do. The Zeeland is rather weakly connected as "could be of interest". Leaving the Holland as the only ship of the tree actually worth considering. But then it's really just a slower, downtiered Groningen itself. So I would just erase the whole second tree completely. The one tree is more than enough anyway.

Ich hab einen Kumpel, der auf NA spielt. Der hat mich schon ein paar Mal auf Aktionen und Giveaways hingewiesen, die wir auf EU schlicht nicht kriegen. Soll ich mich jetzt da auch über die Ungerechtigkeit aufregen? (und hoffentlich merkt hier keiner, dass ich über Steam spiele und von dem Angebot profitiere)

That is true. They tend to be 2+ minutes longer a lot of the time. Occasionally going over ten minutes, which high-tier coop battles pretty much never do.
