Not surprising the only loss in in the Yorck.  Those German cruisers are really terrible and outclassed at 7 and 8.

My back was hurting after this game. What really pissed me off was it was me against 5 except we had an AFK carrier that never moved all game so no solo warrior.

Double cruiser Krakens on Saturday. :)

Nothing like carrying a T8 match in a T6 cruiser. I killed 4 DDs and an Atlanta then charged a Nagato to keep him reset. Luckily he was a bad shot and oblivious to our Colorado on his broadside. The whole time our overextended Amagi was whining about how we weren't supporting him.




This was just a cleanup game. Burned down a Bayern and finished four CLs.

Was in a match tonight where I was one of FOUR Zuiho CV's, we managed to win but never got the last enemy CV. I lost all my planes, so I headed in and got the kill shot on a DD with my secondaries. Everyone was in shock!  Always surprises me how well a Zuiho can dodge torpedoes.

As soon as I thought "you know, I haven't seen a super container in a looong time. I bet they don't even give those out anymore, unless you pick that BS 'roll the dice' option a thousand times", what happens? A super with 1k doubloons in it.
Not great, but not bad either, considering it didn't cost me a dime of real money.
Been suddenly getting the 500 Free XP in the odd container lately, too. Almost wonder if WG changed up the containers a little bit.

I got a super container this morning after months without one. One of the crappy new smoke gen modules. I think I'll go back to just regular containers.

Just got my Khab the the other day. Still trying to work out the best way to play it. Seems like I'm either a rock star or a goat, not much middle ground.

The 6.5 install failed to completely extract, trying a clean install now & I hope it works. And it figures they start a Bismarck campaign the week after I got mine .

It's a light fast cruiser without a citadel. If you try to play it like a DD, it's a tough way to go, at least it was for me. It's one of those ships that gets focused as soon as it's detected.

I suck with cruisers so the Khab stays parked most of the time.

The worst part is being screamed at to cap by the guys in the back row while radar cruisers are parked where they want me to go.

I'm making it my mission to set BBs on fire. I did get 8 cits from one salvo on a Des Moine that popped out of nowhere. That was cool. It's a damn expensive boat to play with a non-premium account.

amusingly, i just reinstalled, and actually had a good time last night.  wasn't really worried about winning--just playing properly--which made all the difference.  rest of team did stupid shit?  treated it as a training problem.

Yeah, I should be more positive.  I'm just in a bad spot on the tech tree right now.  My new T6 Bayern is un-upgraded and getting T8 matches like the plague.  The one ship I really had a nack for was carriers, but I am only halfway to T6 and the no manual drops thing is killer.

I finished the Hunt for the Bismarck event, now I need some guidance on captain skills for it.

I've got a 12 pt captain on it that I had on my Gneisenau, but I'm not really a BB guy. I've only had the Gneis, Colorado, and Fuso up til now, so the Bis is my first Tier 8 BB.

My choices would be: PM, EM, AR, BFT and AFT. SI and MFC-Secondaries would round out a 19pt CAPT. Some like PT over PM but I just presume everyone is shooting at me.

I have found PT to be an extremely valuable skill.   Knowing that no ships are currently targeting you gives you extra options when maneuvering. Knowing you can take that extra shot and Yamato isn't looking at you in your Ibuki is a great feeling.  Keep sailing straight and burn him.

absolutely this--i'm checking that number constantly.  i got caught on the end of the new skill testing period after the rollout, so some of my CAs don't have PT--i don't play those ships much anymore.

my opinion, for my play style
I typically try to keep my BB on some sort of edge of the battle, so I don't have to swing turrets left - right - left - right ....

I would maybe argue swap the 6 and 7 below

Don't know if anyone else had this problem but since the last mini patch my win 10 taskbar wouldn't hide when the game was fullscreen. A little help from google found a fix from a different game forum that fixed it. Go to your task manager, find the Windows Explorer process, right click it and click restart.

WGing loves to get everyone playing an OP piece of equipment, and then switch the game meta to something else, to ensure more cash.
You can't blame, them, but it is a shitty way to do business. They get you to buy things that have a shelf life of about 6-18 months.
The reality of the situation is that people like most of us here would end up buying most of the interesting stuff no matter. 
I really wish they would set it up so that each type has it's own play style that balances the matches, and not ruin that.

They buffed the secondaries on the Tirpitz, which I thought they'd never do, expect some awesome T8 premium to counter it to get released just before the next ranked season.

That's where you're wrong, mister! and in reality, you are proving my point.  They are pushing pay to win.  can't have a premium that has better than the standard ships (Bismarck)




The premium tier 8 carrier (Big E) will probably be able to sink it with 2 squadrons.

7 months later, the new tier 8 Russian Cruiser will be able to shoot down all of the new tier 8 squadrons before they get in range to launch torps or bombs.

9 months after that, the new tier 8 DD will have stealth torps that are not visible on the water's surface, not by hydro, and it will sink the cruisers.



recognize this pattern?

I wasn't disagreeing. Right now Bismark and Tirpitz are the go to T8 BBs. Which means there's going to be something new to counter them for next ranked.
