CaptGodzillaPig

It is a Submarine from the old ARP ship line from some Anime show. It wsa WG's attempt to make everyone happy with a "sub" that you couldn't play, but could have. It came with a captain. Ion or something like that. I still have her in my lineup somewhere in the reserves.

Tammy only appeared in one of the matches..and "appear" was about all it did. The "Iron Wall" or whatever they called it that CUTE deployed in match 3 I thought was pretty neat and I was pretty sure that they were going to roll over that match (As I am sure they did). Instead that seemed to be the turning point and they just never really got the upper hand again. At any rate it was pretty fun to watch and I sat through all 5 matches when I can barely stand to see 1 game replay. I thought both teams played with a lot of skill and strategy, but in the end the games go the way they go. One bad over extend or one moment getting caught with your side exposed can change the whole fate and that was certainly the case a few times over the course of the series.

07 with the win in a game 5 battle.

07 wins game 3 in a close match.

I have no dog in this.. I am just enjoying watching the match. So far it has been pretty one sided, but still some good game strategy to watch on both sides.

Game 2 to Cute in a complete one sided match.

Game 1 to Cute..

Again my point. You have to choose. Game or simulator. It is already very very far from simulator. So just make it a game. As intended.

The real problem is that it is a GAME. This isn't a naval battle simulator, though some would like it to be. You can't hold out one hand and say "because reality" and then on the other hand have situations where DD's take 6-8 mid ship hits from a BB and keep sailing on away. No little tin can is going to survive that in reality. At the very least they are dead in the water forever (however long that may be). I agree that there is a little too much "thought" being put into what sort of hit you get when you hit another ship.

I did that about a year ago after a 3-4 year stint of playing. It was just time to do something else. You may find your way back after a bit. It is a completely different game now than when I left. So that is sort of interesting. Some things are still the same..Mainly the complaining. lol. Good luck with your next adventure.

Haven't played in awhile, but this is basically what I remember from years past as well.. I may try them later today. Nice ride in your Avi, not to mention the name. Panigale rider here. 959. Too bad it is going to sit in my shop for the next 6 months due to rain.

Because I already have 2 that are basically the same thing? I have no doubts it is a good DD, but do I really need 2 "Swiss army knife" DD's? Sure single torps and multiple smokes might be neat. Repair is certainly nice. Do I want to invest the time and resources into running a line where the end result is something basically what I have already? I guess we will see. I may give it a try. I could work up to T7 pretty quick with the stash of free XP I have.

So still looking around at a ship line to run since there are some new options in the game. Started around the Soviet BB line and just never really clicked with it. I have no interest in Cruisers, but I had seen some stuff written about the RN DD's and seen a few in the games. That said, I started digging around the DD forums here and just looking at the ships in the line and wonder, why would I bother with this if I already have Gearing and Z52? The RN lines to be a ship cut from basically the same cloth as a dual purpose Gun/Torp boat, but maybe just not as good at either? Smaller guns, slower torps, not really stealthy.. What am I missing? Am I not missing anything and the Daring isn't worth messing with if you are sitting on a Gearing and Z52 already?

In Soviet Russia... SPAM deletes YOU.

I never considered them "predatory". Just spam emails like I get from the places I buy auto parts or motorcycle gear from. Fishing and Hunting stores also. Just marketing. Mark them as spam and they go to your junk folder. YOu won't ever see or read one unless you want to. No one comes and kicks your door down or locks up your computer unless you open the WG email. lol.
