It's interesting how round features like the elevation wheel on the gun or the loud speaker housing cannot be modeled smoothly even with today's tech.

Wow thanks for the info and thoughtful insight @Primace @Lexington_MuseumO1. Just when I thought this forum couldn't possibly get any more lame.... ZzzzZzzzzZZzzz

I saw a dude running Bayard last night and asked him what he thought of it and he said he wouldn't pay for it LOL

Ain't that the truth. But even if I was so inclined, no way could I recommend the game due to the recent needless rework that has made it overall much less fun to play. A lot of folks are exploring other games.

I'm a casual player with average DD skills. Getting spotted in the 1st minute then losing half my HP the next to OP rocket fire is ridiculous. So are planes buzzing around making multiple torpedo, bomb and rocket runs. I find playing destroyers no fun now if there are CV's in the game. Just this weekend I've had way too many games that went something like this: Get spotted 30 seconds into the game Lose a large chunk of HP to rockets within 2 minutes Abort trying to cap because carrier planes have me perma spotted Dodge incoming ship artillery fire due to the above - bob weave and try my best to not take damage - shoot back where practical Dodge more rockets........ Run, run, run for my life, while trying to shoot down hostile aircraft (I hate the new engine sound btw, it reminds me how broken CV's are and makes me want to throw my mouse at the screen!) Look around for a friendly ship with good AA to snuggle with - the equivalent of curling up into a fetal position under my desk Eat more rockets, dodge torpedos If I'm lucky enough to survive to mid game I may actually have a chance to do some damage. My damage totals with CV's in the game are way down Sure if a CV and a DD are division mates it may go better or on extremely rare occasions in a random match the CV on your team may actually spot and provide air cover for you it can work but even then not nearly as much fun to play this class as it had been prior to this monstrosity.

^^^^^^^ Couldn't agree more. And Giulio Caesar owners planning to return the ship should get a full monetary refund for the purchase price, not WOWS game currency! Under normal circumstances I'd have bought the Witch by now but I don't agree with singling out and nerfing premium ships so I won't spend another dime on them.

Thanks Ram, for the encouraging post. I'll try some more battles...

I untied my Ryuko port queen and played 2 co-op games yesterday. Didn't enjoy it. Actually think I liked the old style better. If they removed CV's from the game altogether, I wouldn't miss them. At the dock she will stay.

It's encrypted, you have to type it in backwards.... Disclaimer: anyone who tries this may in fact be a moron.

The nerf makes the legendary upgrade, once excellent, now worthless. While I can still manage somewhat, I feel outclassed by other DD's. I was at 2.1 sec reload pre-nerf. Now it's 2.9 sec. I can no longer gun down a Gearing or a Harugumo. I have 6.5 km detection, slower loading torps and less radar or smoke duration. So the nerf has obsoleted this perk and I think their data may have showed the ship was OP with it, not so much the stats without it. RIP my Legendary Beast. I wouldn't say this bote is garbage. I will re-spec it to be a pure torpedo boat once again. It will have meh guns so caps will be avoided early in the game unless RPF indicates no contest.

I was looking into buying this game. I haven't pulled the trigger yet because I need a new joystick. Mine is so old it only works in a couple axes. I played the original IL2 Stormovik back in the day and loved it. I think I would choose it over WoWP.

If you're looking for your 1st clan or in one but not quite feeling like it's a good fit, I highly recommend giving the 90th a try. I've been a member since July and really enjoy it here. The people I've met are genuine, friendly, have a great sense of humor and welcome all skill levels. We are now actively training for the upcoming Clan Wars season. We have a good leadership team, are growing and getting stronger each and every day. Give the 90th a try, you'll be glad you did. https://fordgalaxy500.wixsite.com/90thbg/recruitment

It's tomorrow....chop chop!

2nd that notion. With my final 4 points I will be getting RPF.

That was it.........thanks
