How many teams do we have? Are there plans to do a clan or are we still gun shy from the WoT clans? We have at least one. There's a couple floating around. I try to step out of the teams when I remember to to free up the slot when I'm not around/avail. Best way is to get on the TS and see if any folks are on, they will rearrange things as they can to get folks in/get a team going. Teams run mostly Tier 6...just fyi. That's because team battles are tier 5 and 6. So we run heavy. Generally a CV, 2 BBs, 3-4 DDs, 0-1 CA. For CV, we tend to go air superiority. Now, grouping up is a bit different. Platoons are like in wot, I believe. Just gotta have folks on your friends list. TS is helpful there, as well. |

Usually lack of numbers, though. WOWS hasn't been as big of a hit with arfcom, it seems. That said, taking my New Mexico against a pair of Tirpitz (read Bismark) is entertaining if I get into range. ALL HAIL RNGESUS!!! |

Why don't we prioritize the teams by who plays the most? Hard to do. Teams are 7; costs to make a team. No clans yet in WOWS. So we work with what we have. Each person can make 2 teams, I believe. Generally, folks will step out (like me) to leave a slot open for folks...since we don't all play all the time. Sometimes we forget and booting folks out is a major voting PITA. |

Torpedo soup started the DAY the rudder nerf patch went live. This is why you adjust one thing at a time. That patch buffed torp concealment AND nerfed rudder shift and turning circle for BBs. If they had just done the detection buff, DDs would have been in a better place damage wise and BBs wouldn't be sitting ducks to fire spam and Torpedus. But no, make fine adjustment with sledgehammer Comrade! Is good enough, pass vodka. This is why I play my Zao more now. I call her Zaogdor, The Burninator. |

If I load AA boost, I don't see hardly any CVs. If I load speed boost, I get swarmed by planes. |

Kinda like when you have a mission to shoot down 30 plane you never see a CV, or when the mission is to set fire to 100 ships your HE is suddenly incapable of lighting fires. |

Why are none of you on tonight? View Quote I was on for 1 game. Shit team and 500+ ping was not for me. Something is jacked up with my ISP or my computer or both. I can reboot, and have no open programs other than task manager, and I'm watching almost rhythmic patters of programs on my computer accessing the network connection. Going from 0 to > 100kbps about every 2-3 seconds. Just started this week, once I'm finally through some rough weeks at work with 80-90 hour work weeks. |

In my Gearing and Fletcher I have to give up other buffs that they desperately need. |

The way AA works, your main battery in ships with dual purpose artillery is counted as two sets of guns that are independent of each other, regardless of whether your're blasting away at ships. You can be pummeling another ship and if a CV flies a squad over you, it still acts like the guns are in AA mode. |

I've started trolling matches. Whenever my team is winning by a good margin, I'll tell the other team they played good, except for X (usually a camping BB or dumb CV) and they let you guys down. Then sit back and watch shit burn. Last match, I told their BB I was gonna compliment him because he was our MVP for never leaving the spawn. Butthurtness ensued.

I'm not seeing alot of good AP hits, unless it's a thin skinned target, but the HE is nasty. Pretty flat arc on the guns too. |

Premium ships will be able to be bought with gold soon.
Yes, even the Tirpitz and Warspite. Honestly though this and the recent changes to torpedoes and other things show that WG is actually listening to the players. Hell the Russian ships aren't OP either, I think they're doing things pretty good. |

Don't waste your money on the Molotov.
Tier 9 guns, yea right. They are slower than the Bud to reload and do not pen, hardly at all. Was 4 KM from a Bud, shooting at his side with AP. 20 hits and very little damage. Hit but no damage. Kirov's, Clevelands, or even Atlanta's guns do better than that. Seems like a gimmick ship. Maybe they will buff it in the future. |

RNGesus.
10 battles yesterday morning, 4 with cruisers, 4 with destroyers, 2 with battleships. - all 4 destroyers detonated while taking their first hits. 9 losses, 1 win with the Fuso. I took a break, did some yard work. 10 more battles yesterday afternoon. About the same mix. 10 losses. Went and read a book. This morning. 7 battles. 7 wins. Ended up between a Nurnberg, an Omaha, and a Farragut in my Marblehead. Knife fighting range, 3-4 km. Dodged torps from 3 directions, laid into the farragut, lit him up and broke his engine and torps; the Nurn had his guns pointing the wrong way so lit into the omaha with the next volley, switched to AP and citadelled it with the next, Dumped my torps to both sides, shifted fire to the nurn as it's guns came around; volleyed and double citadelled it. And then ate 8, or 20, torpedoes from 3 sides. Shortly thereafter, Omaha eats my torps on one side, Nurn eats my torps on the other. We all sank together and the Farragut got finished off by the New Mexico that finally got into the neighborhood. |
