Sabot_100

Does it get updated automatically or do I have to do it all manually? I noticed that my crosshairs reverted to normal yesterday.

Have no idea how to add, and no confidence in WG to pull it off, BBs that are far bigger and better than the Yamato (its been powercrept, but it was the definition of a T10 BB) as new T10 ships and not completely powercreep every other T10 ship. I guess you could make the guns inaccurate and maneuverability akin to an iceberg, but this is WG we are dealing with, and they want premiums that sell.

So I don't have to drive my Fantasque around with the horrendous but permanent post-apocalyptic cammo showing??!!!! Its just too pretty a ship for such disfigurement.

And not a particularly good one. Henri is currently (sure to drop fast) 5.5% back from Stalingrad in WR and well behind in about every other category. Two other ships beat out the Henri but are pretty close. All the other cruisers are within about 4% of each other with poor Salem bringing up the rear. Not too bad a grouping really. Obviously the lead ship is a premium (but only a steel ship, not cash) and Russian. But is was the Henri that needed the hammer to the kneecaps.

The Henri's problem was that it made pretense to try and breath the rarefied aid reserved strictly for the Stalingrad. Never made it but WG obviously thought it was too close.

Of course the reward isn't a T8 and T10 premium among other rewards picked up along the way. Still, that grind was insane and largely a non-starter for me. This grind gets you ships and some other rewards that you can get if you just wait and grind the line normally. Just won't be the first on your block to get them.

Nope, its that special Russian version where they reload fast but you only get so many shots and your done.

Increasing your chance of winning from 1 in 100,000,000 to 1.25 in 100,000,000?

Two factors in play. 1) WG likes to make money. Finding ways to convince (without pissing them off) players to hand it over is their job. 2) It is generally bad for the new players in the game if a bunch of experienced or even unicum players are dumped into T1-4 as they grind ship lines 2a) A lot of really good players don't like being seal clubbers and feel guilty doing so. They want to give new players a chance to learn and get the idea that they are actually good at the game before crushing them utterly at mid-tiers.

With the recent nerf, its looks like getting citadeled will be even more common. May require a full rethink on play style.

Except the fire power of all classes becomes about the same. He who gets the first hit wins. There is also the problem of the Haves and Have Nots. Just like radar, some ships will have missiles and some won't and MM will put them in the same battle. Now if they make a separate game mode for Cold War ships, that would be fine.

True, but against other surface ships, you have the option of going dark as your visibility is most often determined by your gun range. You can get behind an island if you have too. Also, with typical MM, there is somebody on your team that can engage the long range sniper even if you can't. CVs can go spot you no matter where you hide and their hulls are safe. Staying in a group may work, but sometimes the rest of you group gets sunk, or they all turn left when you turn right. A DD huddling with a group is somewhat neutered.

Plus, on many maps, it would be perpetually aground. Rudder shift=20 seconds. The turning radius would be measured in time-zones. That said, I don't know how you balance all these super BBs against existing T10s (as there is no T11). Of course WG has been busy creating super/battle cruisers and pitting them head-to-head against regular cruisers so there is a history there.

One last parting Raptor glitch. Logged in last night and checked my battle options. Coop, Random and the Scenario (Raptor). Thought it should have changed but clicked on Raptor for one last go. Then noticed when picking a ship that the Scenario was actually now Aegis. Weird

Also useful for ASW work.
