I went to 1, because I didn't see anyone else going.
when I saw a Zao, I turned my Mogami around with a furious passion, and started hand paddling in addition to the engines. We took off our sailor clothes and made sails, too. |

Awesome game finish from a couple nights ago. On Land of Fire, in a cyclone, it's me in a Fuso and a New Orleans against an Atago and a Hatsaharu. I give the Atago a broadside and RNG laughs at me. So, I head right for it. I'm at 90%; he's at 40%. The front guns reload and I give him a blast and take him down to 6K. Ram, Die Hard, Repair + Damage Control and I'm at 20K. Hard to Starboard to clear the back guns for the DD. The NO has 163 hp and my secondaries kill him (oops). I give the DD a dose of AP and KaBlooey! What a finish. I didn't get Pinked either.
Then there's this from today. I didn't realize it until the match was over. I was the slowest thing afloat and only got 7 salvoes in. 3 were on this guy.

Domination has been horrible today. I've had at least 3 games today were our team was up, we were ahead in kills and caps but ALL THE FUCKING BB'S HANG IN THE BACK OF THE MAP DOING FUCK ALL OF NOTHING and we eventually lose. So all the DD's and CA's on our team get wiped out because they have no support because the BB's are spinning around 20km away in some sort of retarded ballet of circle jerk sniping.

yep, just like our 2 Montana/1 Yamato division the other night..... Those Khobaroasters just hang back at a ridiculous range and set you on fire over and over. It is a stupid concept and I find it funny wargaming will nerf the fuck out of an American ship to "restore historical accuracy" and then create a destroyer that has no basis in reality and has almost no reason to fear attacking the highest tier ships. |

that said, I suppose I could use a good tier 7. I don't sit still long enough for people to pen my bow. My average damage in this thing is higher than in my Montana, Tirpitz and Iowa... But I'm not sure if it will work for you Leisure. You like to sit further back than I do, and this thing shines front and center. You have to play it like a Tirpitz with cruiser guns... I actually start matches with HE loaded and do a lot of switching based on target, positioning, and range. Most fun I've had in this game in a looooong time. |

Gneisenau is just as much fun as Scharnhorst, even though the playstyle is closer to Tirptiz because of the 380mms. Bismarck is supposedly good (haven't bought it yet, I have a captain deficiency ), the T9 is supposedly frustrating and the T10.. Well I like it. Could use about 3km more range though. It's fucking MASSIVE.

Kind of my thinking at 7 and 8, especially with all the great things you guys are saying on the Scharn. I didn't realize the difference in the guns. Worst case I free XP through the 9 if it sucks that hard. |

I like to get closer, but if I can't because there's some shit playing the OP wonder that is Hakuryu that makes me have to drive away from my team and the battle to avoid his cancer that he decided to focus on me with, then I need some way to actually hit the enemy team while I make my way back to my team and the battle.

Free XP'd the Gneisenau. Pretty good ship although my damage output was pretty lackluster in the 2 games I played in it last night. It definitely benefits from having cruiser or another BB in support. I got into a 1 vs 3 fight against a Nagato, Tier 8 IJN DD, and a Hipper in my first match after my team turned the opposite way to break contact. Hipper lit me on fire, IJN hit me 2x with torps, and a citadel hit later from the Nagato and I was pretty much doomed.
Citadel does seam pretty easy to pen, as I was getting citadel by an Arizona last night in my 2nd match in it, and I was angled into him vs. broadside. |

Tough night tonight. Bad teams, bad MM, and bad RNG. I almost quit after being in a Tier 8 battle in my Fuso, spawning all by myself on 1 side of the map and having to spend all game running from N.C's and Tirpitz's, only to have a shot at winning it our DD's could figure out that if they pop smoke, stop shooting, and sit still, they can stay alive the 30 seconds we need to wrap up the win. But nope, lets shoot HE at full HP battleships while closing the distance.
Played one more, and was rewarded with this game. Also had 2 ARFCOMMERs on the team. DMB and TStafford. <O fellas!
