But it's not just BB's and it's not just now. I noticed it right from the beginning when I started to play over 4 yrs ago. I would be in a squadron of 3 or 4 or 5 ships headed for a flank or cap and as soon as the first enemy shells were fired or we passed an island I would soon find myself all alone. My tactics now include for such eventualities, but it always made me wonder why. It's not as if any real ships or lives are in danger here and I've lost count of the number of games I seen lost(from both sides) that might have been won if only a few more players on a team stood up and fought instead of worrying about some survival stat. In real life battle situations I'm not sure I'd want many of these players covering my flanks.

Popularity is based on personal perspectives and not just raw numbers. From my own perspectives I'd agree that the Mass. is better than Rich. or Mon. but if it comes down to a 1 on 1 battle I'm not sure I'd pick the Mass. over the Vlad. After grinding through them I sold both the Rich. and Mon. but I'll be keeping the Vlad. after the grind.

Same for me.

"The fog of war" ??? I know it's just a shoot 'em up arcade game but a little bit of reality every now and then that replicates real life situations doesn't hurt. Smoke obscuring battle fields has been a thing since gunpowder was invented. Learn to cope and overcome just like real soldiers and sailors have to.

If you're that close to a red ship the torps will do more to secure a kill than the Secondaries. If you don't normally brawl with the Amagi I wouldn't advise doing it with the Kii even with the torps.

It could be worse... as a matter of fact it is. Try taking a CV into any game and you'll likely lose karma points.

Yep... I had to look myself to see what I had. The GC, Fat Albert, and Kutuzov I picked up for cash because they were worth the bucks. The Missouri and Krony I picked up with in game resources. The Kamikaze I picked up in a Santa crate. That one put a smile on my face. I don't really remember how I got the Vampire. It may have been a crate or a mission of one sort or another. Frankly consider me one of the many confused with all these special, premium, rare classifications. Not all of us have the organizational skills of LWM to keep track of all these ships.

Yea there's always a chance. It's not the possibility of picking one up in a crate... it's the probability that's not in your favor. The odds are stacked in the house's favor by the house, creating one of the tightest set of slots you'll find in any casino.

Hey... I got three of the five. Not bad considering.

They did do a much better job this time around with the dockyard. Would they have done it if there hadn't been a sh!tstorm of complaints here on the forum... maybe, maybe not. The camo looks so good it's definitely worth the dubs... too bad it doesn't have a better ship to put it on.

I'm far more interested in the capabilities of the new test ship. What can I do to it and what can it do to me. Who the Captain is at the helm isn't as important... although a known CC is usually too dangerous to let them run wild in a game.

I've never gotten a ship from a SC but this was in the last one I got. I guess I'll have to settle for the consolation prize.

The two containers and the 3 daily missions. All can be typically done in a half dozen games or less. A first game of the day can easily bring in both a container and the first mission rewards. Treats up front to keep the mice pushing the buttons.

Those times that I become a red CV's obsession I always try to lead it away from where the green fleet's main action is taking place. If I must die at least I can help out by keeping the eyes in the sky pointed somewhere else.

Curling always takes a bad rap because it looks so easy... but think about it for a minute. Most people have a hard time just walking on ice yet alone trying to play a sport on it.
