I used the Venezia for the last time I wanted to farm cits in Co-Op. It has good AP and a lot of guns. As I closed I stopped shooting and used the smoke to get to the broadside of cruisers.

My understanding is that the turrets were ordered and at least partially completed when war broke out. I think that the Germans did not want the ships out of service for the refit and that is why they were canceled. If they had pulled them in for refits they would have not been available for the early war operations (Norway and the early convey raiding). The turrets were sold to the Soviets to arm the Kronstadts, but the German invasion of the USSR kinda put a kink in the sale.

The short answer is no. The consensus was that Vampire II was going to be Free XP, but it is going to the Research Bureau. There are 4 T10 ships that have been announced in Dev Blogs but not in the game for currency yet. R-10: A Russian DD that was announced quite a while ago, but no news about it. My pet theory was that is was going to be a Khaba replacement, but since then they have buffed the Khaba and we have heard nothing about R-10. Kitakama: The Japanese torpedo cruiser was also announced a while ago. I heard a rumor (somewhere) that testing and balancing was not so successful. So who knows. Druid: The British DD that was just announced. Napoli: The Italian cruiser with larger guns and SAP secondaries. None of those stand out to me personally as an obvious FXP candidate. To be fair, we don't even know that another FXP ship is coming.

Hey this might be a dumb question. But if you advance to the next ranked (so silver in this case), do you automatically get the steel rewards for the Bronze Rank? I am not sure that the difference in rewards between Silver and Bronze is enough or if I should just keep grinding out Bronze every week.

The same thing is happen to me too. @Hapa_Fodder could you please check on this when you get a chance? Thank you

I assume the T10 will be something like this:

My problem with both Agir and Azuma is that the just seem like the downgrade of better ships (Siegfried and Yoshino). I just have no desire to spend Free XP on what seem like the downgrades. So for me, I am not buying ether of them. I think both Hayate and Smalland and decent ships. I bought both off them and I do not regret it. But for me I only use Free Xp to get the modules and not it to skip ships. I will say that I think the best Free XP ship is Alaska, and it is not even close. We have no idea what what will be the next Free XP ship added to the game.

Ok. That makes sense. And now that tab is gone for me.

I noticed that there is now a tab under combat missions called Upgrades that I did not have before the patch today. Does anyone know what this is for? Wasn't that the title for the T10 UU missions?

Here is the code off the video. Enjoy

Kitakaze, Jutland, and Mogador are all great. Fletcher and Ostergotland are both good. A lot of the battleships are fine, I am not sure there is an outstanding one (maybe Alsace, but I don't have that). I think a lot of the cruisers are kinda meh. Most are just basically the T8 with a heal and the 6th module. And T9 has all the super cruisers in it, which overshadows the normal cruisers. I general I think T9 is a great tier for DDs. The BBs are out shown by the premiums. And there are a lot of great T9 premium BBs. Think about what happens in T9 ranked seasons. There are a lot of DDs, then mostly prerium BBs (JB, Musashi and Mighty Mo) and then the super cruisers.

I agree on the tank build. You can get long range on the secondaries, but like as has been said, you have bad pen and you are squishy and brawling is not this ships strength. JB is one of my favorite ships. You get all you firepower while being about to go nose in. And if you are anything like me it is nice because I am not tempted to show too much broadside trying to get my back guns firing. Here is the link to my build: https://wowsft.com/ship?index=PFSB518&modules=1111&upgrades=134121&commander=PFW101&skills=2183153157&ar=100&consumables=1111&pos=0

If you like the Martel you should like the St. Louis. The big differences are that the the St. Louis gets the 6th module slot (so faster reload) and a heal. Now it does get worse MM, because it can't see T6 anymore. But on the other hand (or so I have been told) T9 sees the fewest CVs. I feel like that is a plus, but YMMV. Henri IV used to be great, but she got taken out behind the shed and beat with the nerf bat a while ago. About the same time they nerfed her acceleration, so that she picks up speed pretty slow now and the IFHE rework hurt her too. I used to use IFHE because then she could pen all the Kremlins and Stalingrads of the world, but now the fire chance reduction is just too high. I think I have played her twice since the nerfs.

Hapa said that we will find out about this soon. I think they should. We will just have to see, I guess.
