For a last time Nice brawl with the cardinal, the French TVIII BB Richelieu.

Thank you all for the valuable information, tips I have received during the short time I have been member, and which improved my game play without doubt massively. Also not to forget all those (often) emotional discussions, which have been exciting to say at least.

Old Gneisenau got her ride after quite a while and she did well. We had no help by RNG, but still managed to do it. 20230726_131236_PGSB107-Gneisenau_23_Shards.wowsreplay

Pr. Heinrich, haven't used her a long time, because it seemed that she was cursed. Often very nice battles in every perspective, but mostly defeats. Since I'm quite superstitious I haven't used "Pr. Heinrich" for quite a while. Today it was different in concealed manoeuvres ! 20230725_154440_PGSB207-Prinz-Heinrich_42_Neighbors.wowsreplay

Absolute first fight in my brand new British BC "St. Vincent" in Ranked. Looks promising.

Now concealed battles ... I give up for today (at least), because playing is getting much too annoying. Played together actually with two good team mates on our flank, but that didn't help at all when our BB and especially CVs were utterly crap. 20230724_134823_PJSC038-Atago-1944_42_Neighbors.wowsreplay

"Brawl" and nothing seems to help actually. People in soft radar cruisers sailing broadside to the enemy and of course not using their radar when asked for etc. 20230724_125616_PRSB108-Vladivostok_22_tierra_del_fuego.wowsreplay

Many people laugh about "Boise" and are trying to ridicule her. I do love her and she pays almost always back with great results, especially in Randoms. Here she showcased her worth and impact in this newly implemented kind of battle. Since I got her I do love to play American CLs and the so called Pan Americans, which are very often pure derivatives of US lights.

Purchased TIV + V + VI for Spanish tokens, and all of them gave a good and solid impression. Played only once in COOP to become used to them. Pleasant to handle and to fight with. Looking forward to use V + VI in "Randoms".

Lately, I can't complain about my teams in random (less kill steal would be nice though). Hopefully this will last a little bit. Old Bismarck is capable, always been and will be, but she needs an accuracy upgrade that corresponds to the one of the NC (SIGMA !!). Would just be fair.

Have played it twice until now, but I don't think I'm going to repeat it. Thoroughly sick mode.

I have received those carriers for a period of 18 days as rental properties. Got no idea what to do with them since I have never played CV before? Have a Bearn (container drop) in my "stable", which I would like to test in the play room when I will feel like.

That's exactly what I don't like. Thank you for the enlightenment.

Perhaps I don't know, but first thing first. I have to learn how to sail and manage a CV in the first instance, no clue so far.

Good random battle in a good team. Always remarkable IMHO. The British battle cruiser line is something I have to admit. Pleasant to play with and lots of solid features for success.

Absolutely true. A real drama in many acts.

I made this mistake unfortunately, because I didn't know better and thought that WoW was a "shooting game". Started with a TIX Pommern and a TVIII Mainz, both premiums, and it was a disaster. I'm still working with correcting this really disgusting mistake. You will need a long time and patience to get a better WR afterwards ...

Francesco Caracciolo is my absolute favourite BB in TVII and in front of both Sinop and Gneisenau. Pleasant to handle, a damage producer par excellence (SAP + AP) and very accurate IMO. Love her!

Very much so! Good words.

I have heard about and seen many really good proposals on here just one is missing. That's Pjotr Bagration, Russian TVIII premium cruiser with the typical sledge hammer 180 mm guns (9) and 8 km torps !! + heal. Difficult to match even by the Tallinn, which I adore. No radar but sonar.

I look at this as kind of fraud. The other Daisen and me (last remaining ships) took A cap and left it to take at least one of the others. All of a sudden A - cup was "unclaimed" although none of the bots did conquer it while I was in B and trying to kill the remaining bots. At the end the bots won by "mission accomplished" ... I really don't understand that. Pictures tell a lot. 20230718_161025_PJSB539-Daisen_16_OC_bees_to_honey.wowsreplay

Throwing away victory in the very last seconds. We were leading by points, but the last of the GKs and last survivor on our side thought it would be nice to harass the last ship on the other side, a Salem, with (much) more HP as himself. He got killed and all efforts had been in vain ... quite sick of this I have to admit. Both teams played well, so that is no issue for me, but the stress ... I don't like to loose and that happens to often lately in ranked IMO. 20230718_112035_PGSC110-Hindenburg_41_Conquest.wowsreplay

Yes most likely ... a very sad matter.

Since WG is introducing the new Japanese battle cruiser line with some crazy accuracy combined with unseen long range capabilities it would just be fair to give the German, French and in that respect Italian BB - lines the sigma of the USS North Carolina. It's not fun at all to go into battle (Random, Ranked) knowing that one has little to no chances against those monsters in skilled hands. Buff those lines noticeable! BTW, the Soviet line needs more range, much more range in today's meta.

Honest question! I have grinded through almost any tech - line I'm interested in, but I'm wondering if I should take the perhaps unnecessary effort to grind the "Des Moines" since I will soon have enough coal to purchase the Salem? (Buffalo T IX is in box already and I don't like her). Salem belongs to Des Moines - class, has super - heal and is almost identical with the small difference in radar range (1 km) and the simultaneous use of sonar, which the Des Moines can do. I mean it could be waisted time and effort, which I'm not interested in.
