Only a Defeat, however I have made Blyska work decently in Cherry Blossom. Instead this one I think could be my record of citadels with a DD (still a newbie). This one don't need words... Also...

I would add, make different colors Ops and Coop symbols... sometimes sh*t happen.

What? EDIT: late with the comment

Baltimore usually is good enough, if you can work with the relative short range. Same for Edinburgh (the heal is a bonus). Also Akizuki can be devastating... when you survive long enough. Debatable. My first time with Mahan in Hermes we had 3 DDs... and the first wave of BBs evaporated with our torps and HE spamming. Next waves + planes were more challenging, still we won (we had at least 1 decent BB player). I think it's more related to players than ships, still some are not good to take: german DDs can be... problematic.

Solution... With Colorado I needed 4 salvos (2 minutes) to destroy an airstrip, same with the other one. Ended everything with 5 minutes left, even after destroying Atago. Only thing I'm not sure about fire arcs, maybe some BBs have them too flat to pass over the hills.

I must say that it's surprising... but I find Hermes more doable with a DD! Well, not a german one, but still... Even Aegis can be a blast with Le Fantasque... Also Cherry Blossom can be almost easy. It's enough a long range BB (even Colorado) camping near the CVs inside the green circle... and start spamming HE at max range. Make raining fire!

The thing about removing ships, was stated somewhere or is only hypothetical? Because I didn't read about it anywhere...

More fun coming at me (I lasted less than 30 seconds, even if no citadel taken).

Yes, and also it's possible to prepare your mind for the inevitable (with this playerbase) mess when the test content will be released.

Today on PTS I found @lovelacebeer

Ehmm... no. Wasn't better to ask before burn your time? I'm grateful, to be clear. My current routine is 1-3 games in Ranked (for steel and dubs, not interested to pass the league) or Random, then some Operations, Coop not so much. My stats... well, must say they are not of my liking so I try to improve (however results are... lacking). Currently my main target is to grind the lines (as efficiently as possible) trying to understand the ships and decide if I like them. Along the road I had collected enough resources to buy some premium ships, and I'm happy when those ships are something that I like. I'm still defining my tastes, so except CVs and very slow BBs I accept every recommendation... possibly explained for my greatest interest. Hope that now I solved some questions. EDIT: if you prefer going in PM, feel free to do it.

I'm totally a bad player, but if even I can do something like this, then...

Really surprised to have lasted alive that long...

11? Every info is welcome. Because at the end will still be a decision of mine.

Interesting thread. I'm currently debating with myself about buying my first steel ship, undecided between Stalingrad and Bourgogne. Probably will go with the Bourgogne, because seems way more forgiving... and "misposition" could be my second name.

I have not enough points on my Venezia commander. Soon...

I have only Napoli and I like it a lot... my biggest problem are torps, a DD can be really difficult to counter (don't have hydro or radar, with slow reload).

After 2 days of Wolfpack on the PTS I think to start understanding (a little bit) how to play those... objects. However a question came in my mind: in past years WG had ever tested a version without homing torps, pings, ecc...? And if yes (but I doubt) it would be possible to know why it was deemed unsuitable? I have started to play only last year, so I lack those informations.

They will be for early access of subs lines... Like every early access, you win those tokens playing and use them to buy the new ships (or something else if you prefer it).

I have read somewhere that in next months they will start to do it...

Today...

The only thing that I'm thinking about new Ops system is that WG is a bit stingy with the rewards... While in a winned game you don't have a lot of income, if you lose it's a credit sink, indipendently from how good did you play. This is a difference from Random that need to be corrected. Also there is the need to scale the rewards for the tier, a T6 ship (usually heavily downtiered) need to be rewarded more than a T8. Greater the challenge greater the reward. Currently you can see people in T6 that literally suicide at match start, maybe this will motivate them to try to play instead of run away and leave the team in an ugly condition. Other than this, currently I think it's too early to alter the Ops, people need time to try adapting.

Don't know... but for me is an alien concept.

From the descriptions, I think the first one was Aegis (it's called "Egida" in italian) and the second one was Hermes.

Mate, chill down a bit, will you? It was just an example for the fact that there are players who don't know the Ops, so it's not right to expect them to perform top team. He/she asked, I answered. And was like my 4th Cerry, so I'm not even sure if my answer was correct. There are infos at match start, but seems that not everyone can find them...
