Ranked out, and wow. That was the worst experience I have ever had on this game. Was it worth it? Ehhhhh... I don't think so still. Once I get the steel to get Balansgrad though WG can shove this mode where the sun don't shine.
Yeah... I have to agree. I haven't seen such an awful setup in ages myself. I'm only going to put up with it so as long as I need steel for a ship I want. Once that's done, I'm 100% over it. It did teach me some valuable lessons in my tactics/playstyle, but its anything but "fun".
