Smoke Expertise increases 30% smoke radius; Jack of All Trade reduces 10% reload time for all consumables; Marksman increases the rotation speed for small-caliber guns by 3°/sec, and large-caliber guns by 1°/sec.) Translates as; Keep ALL your BB friends smoked up, keep them smoked up more often and turn those guns on DDs even quicker mwahahahahahaha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
creamgravy Players 2,780 posts 17,292 battles Report post #12 Posted June 28, 2017 Don't use this captain for higher tier RN CLs. Minotaur guns traverse at 4.74s, increasing it by 1°/sec gives you an extra 1/10th of a second. I.e. nothing, your wasting 2 points. On Leander, Fiji, Belfast and Edinburgh he'll reduce it from 25.7s to 22.5s, compared to 23.5s for normal EM. That's not too bad. Perth is the ideal boat for this guy.

Too bad Perth uses Commonwealth captain. The company should really fix that and unify the two lines captain wise , I have read in articles that a number of Canadian, South African and Australian ships actually had second generation (or even first in some cases) British captains during the war. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The RAN was specifically set up to act as a division of the RN during time of war, and for all other naval and logistical activities during peace. All of the Commonwealth navies were integrated with and mentored by the RN until well after WW2. The officers and manpower were freely interchanged, with most CW officers learning their trade in RN ships and shore establishments. It is completely unhistorical to have a separate Commonwealth line - not to say, what is the purpose of having "orphan" ships and captains in the game (eg Perth, Blysk and, to a lesser extent, Anshan/Yolo)? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Corvi Beta Tester, In AlfaTesters 1,147 posts 16,279 battles Report post #20 Posted June 28, 2017 Id love to have that Schnellboot as a reward premium ship thou. Something like tier 5, with more hp, long range torps, epic stealth and speed/mobility but no guns and only those two torp launchers. Could be a cool boat to troll other destroyers and capital ships Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
