    Results: Free Anniversary Permanent Camouflage

    Selection of Boring Ships with Broken page... Regarding the selection...Just my opinion. Zieten - way station before 9th Prince. Hawke - "I give my citadels to everyone" Haarlem - "Accuracy and damage? not in my shift" Shimanto "sometimes I can" Benson "too old for this sheep" I would vote for BB - North Carolina (speed and accuracy) Cherbourg (best cruiser AP on this level) Vittorio Cuniberti (DD hunter) CV - Lexington (hold my hammer)

    Exchange Resources for Ships and Other Resources!

    I spent my luck when I got Saipan from Air containers during the Brisbane campaign. So I don't want to check it twice Could be a long story. I wouldn't expect it till mid of summer. If you really want it, you can: Write to the support and ask them to return your coal (if you have just a single battle on this new coal ship) Write to the support and ask them to reset your account to the moment you spent your coal. All your progress will be reset to this date also.

    Yeah, the exchange rate is crazy. But let's be honest. There is no way to get Hood but gold. And now we have a chance to buy it for 220k coal or smth. You can get coal from containers, and it's quite easy to farm. But it is much more difficult to get gold. I can buy T9 ships later for coal. But I cannot buy Hood later - they will close the deal. And I will not buy Hood for gold for sure - we have much more interesting ships for gold.

    Ignacio Allende Build Captain

    Fragile or made of Glass. Tier 1- can be replaced with Last Stand. I prefer to have fast turrets. Tier 2 - More Radar Tier 3 - More Gear, More HP. You can take Adrenalin Tier 4 - Concealment. If you have more exp, you can take Radio (helps you to know where is DD before you Radar it) or Outnumbered -better accuracy and speed.

    Coming Soon: New Features!

    I have a better candidate for the Grapply role. Not exactly from the Navy, but you get the idea. Take the Spot, noobie! Cover your teammates! Don't hide in the corner! Look at the Map! Find your balls and push harder! Intrude Hell!

    French Navy Champagne

    Well, gods are on your side https://worldofwarships.eu/en/news/sales-and-events/armory-illinois-and-new-items/ They added Champagne into the Casino. So it is up to you how many piastres you would like to spend

    French Navy Champagne

    Only if gods bless you with super container. In other words - you cannot get the ship today. And don't even think about Flandre. My worst BB ship T8. Gascogne is available and could be closer to Champagne, but I would suggest you to watch streams with this ship.

    Illinois - Review

    What's matter? New ship with real potential? Is it legal? I expected another ballast ship like not-for-all Sevastopol, drunken Pommern or hey-I-have-some-guns Iwami. Hope it won't be nerfed

    5 vs. 5 Brawl With Tier X Cruisers

    Nothing new. If the team goes together - they win. If some great brain decides to go fishing behind the island - no one can save you when you face even 2 against 3 ships. Salem is good because of the heal (enough time just for one heal) and crazy DPM. Petro. Yeah, if someone shows you the broadside. Napoli is good because of the battleship armor and smoke. But she is not damager. Stal can pen everyone, but they can see you from the beginning. Zao is useless Jinan\Smol\Mino are good, because they can give you their smoke

    Let me guess... Aegir-time?

    Carnot - Fresh Look

    This is the only cruiser that I had 4 fires. And it was twice during 48 hours period. But yeah, armor is one of the best in the game. I prefer Steering mode 2 instead of Concealment- otherwise, it's maneuverability close to a cargo train. This game you were lucky with fire chance. I play more AP than HE. HE is quite weak in terms of fire chance.

    I'm so tired of losing...

    The result of the battle is a binary value - Win or lose (yeah, Draw, but how often do you have it?) So you could have just three long term combinations More Wins More loses Win lose If you can invent some other scenario, you can probably write a book in games theory. The game cannot aim for you each time. It is your own skill multiplied to the balancer coefficient and some random value. If the players show zero aiming skill - even with the best balancer rules you cannot win. Your shot cannot be self-guided if you shoot in the opposite to the target direction. So the idea is improve chances for the low skilled players but not to make them win every time. Wanna win every game? Play Coop.

    I'm so tired of losing...

    3 defeats in a row- and you really see the team is really poor, even if you do your utmost (top-3 in the final list)- reload the client. After it, you can get a better balancer slot. When you enter the client, you are getting a specific temporary slot for the balancer that will be active during the whole session of your battles. These slot rules and balancer rules are a saint grail of the game, so nobody can give you a key. But the trend is the following: "Bad" slot - your lost battles will prevail. It doesn't matter how good you are. You can gather all medals but loose. The team are weak in most cases. Average slot - 50\50 win loose. "Win" slot - your win battles will prevail. Weak team is the red team. You can even do nothing and still win. Why do we need these three patterns? Consequences of the necessity to give a win chance to the weak players. Otherwise, they will not play it (and donate). Imagine the fight of the skilled players against average players in some shooter game like Counter Strike. Vets will beat noobs. Vets know how to aim, how to use advantages and disadvantages of weapons, they perfectly know the map. So they will definitely dominate. But now imagine you need to balance them to provide equal rights chances to win. What would you do? You will implement probability coefficient to the aiming. So the vet can aim perfectly but cannot hit the target. And the average player has different coefficient and can aim worse and still hit the target. So the percentage of win\loose probability can be 50\50 for both teams. In other words, you implement some rules when the best player cannot always win and the worst player cannot always lose - Balancer. But you cannot balance it perfectly. That is why there will be cases when you lose no matters what. Or you win no matters what. So wake up, Neo.

    Schröder - Review

    Main Guns...They forgot to make it. It was missed with secondaries. I was expecting fat Hipper with bigger guns (But the same AcCuRaCy!!!!) and more HP. But what i see now - junior Aegir with a shotgun instead of main guns. And if we talk about the idea of"shotgun cruiser", may I suggest a new cruiser for tier 10 than. More HP, more speed and equipped with 380mm Kriegsmarine Raketenwerfer 61 as the main gun. We can discuss the same guns scheme 4x2. Short firing distance, long time to reload, but heavy shells. And you all know how this "gun" looks like in real life. King of "shorties"

    Schröder Reviews

    At least you can burn it when hit even without pen if proper shells. (with less probability than Aegir, yeah..) But all other is a true statement
  17. _Vikingr_

    Schröder Reviews

    Yes, thank you. I didn't dive into ballistics and pen. Accuracy is a key feature for me. I can handle crappy ballistics and pen, but I cannot agree to have a ship that cannot hit the target because of the accuracy

    Siegfried: Let me introduce myself Range 20.64 km Admiral Range 18.36 km Admiral can cosplay Sieggy only in the dreams

    Schröder Reviews

    I don't know. Admiral has the same guns characteristics as Aegir do. And less DPM. Also you have just 4 guns forward next to 6 Aegir. To my point, Aegir is far away from the Chariot of the Gods. And now they propose us to buy (let's be honest) a ship that has worse guns than Aegir do. But what is the compensation? Yeah, better concealment and speed if boosted. And chance to make fireworks when enough range for secondaries. Aegir has torps, more DPM and more HP. So what Admiral can do? Endeavor better?

    Update 0.11.11: New Year Frenzy

    Looks more or less appropriate. But, hey, 500 research points per supership? What is this? Was it like a competition, who would suggest the greediest gift for the most expensive ships in the game? Tier X gives 6k research points when researched. And now 0.5k...

    Sevastopol - Review

    Buy this rusty can only if you have literally nothing to buy in the Bureau. Ok, if you have a choice between Colbert and Sevastopol, take Sevas. At least you can live longer in the battle. And this is it. Live Longer, make little damage. Sometimes - slogan of this ship. Petro next to this Ship - Chariot of the Gods
  22. _Vikingr_

    JINAN fix it, it's not like this

    Smolensk on the future Auctions: let me introduce myself. Colbert: Wait! Do you have a smoke generator?? Is it legal for HE spammer? Back to the topic. If you like smoke gameplay, I would strongly recommend you to test British light cruisers. Minotaur and new Edgar are very powerful ships in capable hands. If the hands are not so capable- even with Kremlin armor and HP you would loose.

    1 vs. 1 Brawl With Tier X Ships

    I wouldn't be sure if Malta can win against DD with smoke. Capture the caps and enjoy useless CV in the smoke. Meh. BB only. Halland or Gearing with long smoke in the red team would make this game harder for you.

    1 vs. 1 Brawl With Tier X Ships

    What ships have you tried? Any German BB? Sure thing, Montana can do nothing but sink against DD. But I am more than sure that Germans with hydro can mess with DD. Another option - old good Petro. She can fight against DD, cruisers and, with some luck, against BB
