Yeah I just do not believe you, when I started this game I was a supporter WG. But after putting up with the salt content from some PvP'ers, the lack of any REAL changes for PvE and seeing NOTHING done about it again! And Again! And Again! BUT I did stop by here again just one more time in the slim hope just maybe it change. Nope same old grief, same old haters, same old lines, same old attacks, so I just do not believe anymore WG's bilge water.

Yeah, sorry about this posting Kami, all I saw was FREE SHIP!

Copy, I just thought it was cool bit of info.

From http://www.kbismarck.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5839 In another thread a rather hot discussion has developed over the question of whether or not British cruisers carried depth charges. The simple fact is they did carry them and there are examples where they were thought to have scored successes, though these are anecdotal and to date no one has been able to produce documentary evidence to support the claims. U-Boats were often hunted and sunk by aircraft carrying depth charges. Many cruisers carried the Walrus Flying boat which in turn could carry bombs or depth charges. If a cruiser sent it's Walrus hunting and it sank a U-Boat the cruiser could justifiably claim the kill. There is anecdotal evidence of HMS Dorsetshire doing just that, though no record of this event has yet surfaced. Almost all British cruisers were fitted with depth charge (DC) racks and Asdic Type 123 with which to hunt. This may come as a surprise to some as it did to me. At the Battle of the River Plate, one of the first actions on opening fire was jettisoning the depth charges, so there is further proof that Cruisers carried depth charges even at that early date. In the British Royal Navy, no weapon is ever issued unless the holder is able to use it offensively and effectively. Cruisers were fitted with Asdic and a single DC rack of the same type as that fitted in destroyers and other properly designated A/S units. So they had the same capability to hunt as these other vessels though carrying fewer DC racks. They had capacity to drop two patterns of three or four charges and very possibly they had reloads waiting in the magazine below. Belfast had her torpedo warhead magazine aft near the steering compartment, so I think they would have been stored there. With Asdic up to snuff and with a ready supply of depth charges there would be little difference between a cruiser and a destroyer engaging in the hunt for a U-Boat. The disadvantage for cruisers would no doubt be lack of experience. Destroyers would be regularly tasked to hunt for U-Boats whilst cruisers would not. That did not stop Captain Pegram of HMS Glasgow in company with HMS Southampton having a go at a U-Boat, though without success. Many destroyers carried the High angle Low angle 4" twin mounting. The Hunt Class for example was very heavily armed for their size. The 4" was their main armament. Most cruisers also carried the same 4" mounting. It was not their main armament, but was no less offensive as an air or surface weapon for all that. The Mark 2 depth Charge as carried by HM ships could spit the hull of a U-Boat if it exploded within 20 feet and render the U-boat unlikely to reach port at twice that distance. So a miss at 60 feet might well cause considerable damage to a submerged U-boat. If the boat had already been damaged in a previous attack, that could well tip the scales. Apart from that it could render the U-Boat incapable of making further torpedo attacks due to damaged equipment. The type 123 Asdic set was very accurate for bearing, but could not establish the true depth of a target. Very experience operators may have been able to get more out of the set than those less experienced. Escorts in convoy were apparently able to establish the positions of their charges in heavy fog using this device and so effective was it that only a couple of properly functioning sets needed to be switched on at any given time. Possibly too many bouncing echoes might be confusing to ships tuned to the same transponder frequency. There is much to be learned about this little known aspect of the war and anything which others here may be able to find will be warmly and gratefully welcomed.

Okay my mistake, sorry about that.

Yeah I have to agree, I was not to happy with Subs coming to WoWs. But some of these changes are a "step", I think there needs to be a whole lot more. I also think there should be more Anti-Sub weapons for surface ships to have.

Yeah from what I found out it is what @Rustyhole posted.

Sorry All I mess-up NEVERMIND it is for those who watch WoWs Twitch Channel in the EU

Okay thanks, I just was wondering if something like was in the works for NA. But I do love that Camo.

Saw this on Reddit thought I would share. Do you know if the NA servers are getting anything like this? https://worldofwarships.eu/de/news/sales-and-events/reunited-and-it-feels-so-good/ A free Emden with camo. NEVERMIND it is for those who watch WoWs Twitch Channel in the EU

Yes I have to agree with this. I speak from personal experience on the first three they go out of their way to help the community, even grumpy old sailors like me.

Congrats AT
