I refused when clans first came out because I initially considered them nothing more than an embodiment of toxicity and snobbery I wanted nothing to do with. (Thank you WoT.) A player whose name I no longer recall changed that attitude, but I still refused to join a clan. Eventually I did join a clan because I knew the person who invited me IRL. Part of why I joined was also that, as @Admiral_Thrawn_1 points out, the bonuses and discounts you get; plus I figured someone should get some benefit out of the oil I was losing by not being in a clan. That was fine as far as it went, but the clan leader felt otherwise and kicked me out for refusing to be involved in Clan Wars. (Way to get me to like clans.) My current clan is basically a Naval Battles Clan, (also a clan full of ghosts, but that’s its own issue.) I’m fine with that as far as it goes, but... Whatever... @DEWEY_96_ made some good points.

60 torps. (all together, iirc.) And as soon as they can turn around, 60 more. Old Shimakazes used to do a pretty good imitation of that on the more open maps.

So much ‘Yay... Not...’ in that part of WG’s reasoning. I may have had issues with how stupidly OP Strafe was, but even without Strafe, fighters could give real protection. Except in Co-op and Ops, fighters right now are a joke.

Love my DFAA Nicholas. Highest single air kills with it, (71.)

Finished Odin, probably because of leftover doubloons from Christmas containers allowing me to buy the early boosters. Didn't get any KM CV1 containers, beyond the Directive awards. Those netted me Rhein and Weser, almost literally with the last few I could have received. Premium... Not sure what I'm going to do there. Haven't bought any since maybe 2017? But have refilled it several time through ship purchases. If it runs out and there aren't any ships I might want? I'm honestly not sure what I'll do. Not too terribly invested in Tanks. A very few good memories from it. Perhaps I'd be a bit sad if my garage and all the vehicles I have, (several of which I got for reasons of historical or personal interest,) went away, but I've often said if I could somehow convert the 'value' all that represents into 'value' in Warships I'd do it, and never look back.

Seriously? I thought it was mostly a lower tiers thing. It’s gotten that bad even mid-tier? 9/2015 still here, but have long since lost interest in being a Randoms main. Kind of like Tanks. Gasp. Shock.

(whatever.)

IIRC, sometime after the end, they usually publish a news article saying how many played, and how many ranked out. I think with some numbers of games played as well.

Pretty much never play destroyers in any Op. Too much magical bot accuracy, full pens, and Ronson HE shells, smoke or not.

Absolutely love Marblehead. As underrated as you can get. You beat out all your supposed 'betters,' and even survived. Well done.

Like @Herr_Reitz says; it works. Maybe if I’d ever seen ‘overmatch,’ especially against bow armor, be anything more than a bald faced, damned lie I’d be more inclined to use AP more often. Not that I don’t use it, by my faith in it is somewhat less than that I have for HE.

Too bad. Love my Emden/Dresden pair; and recently gain a new appreciation for Duca a’Costa.

A-hulls maybe? Aren’t those casemate guns anyway? Refits probably gonna be the 127s.

Wait until glorious MWG Design Bureau Soviet Carriers. (‘Make Weapon or go to Gulag.’ CEO Uncle Joe himself.) Wouldn’t know what it used to be like, just got Khab last Christmas. All I do know is it turns like a charging pig. As far as I can tell it doesn’t have a rudder, just a crewman hanging off the stern, holding a one-man survival raft paddle.
