118 [LMNA] Zero_Kelvin Members 531 posts 6,862 battles Report post #1 Posted May 1, 2017 This is an appeal. A desperate plea on behalf of a group that can't speak for themselves. Every day there are vessels sailing amongst us that can barely stay afloat. Ships for whom even the slightest breeze can cause unimaginable pain and suffering. These poor vessels live their lives in constant fear, knowing that even the slightest bit of damage can render them incapacitated for several minutes, hours, even days. Ships like the Algerie, or little Galissoniere, they need your help now. So please donate to the Mid-Tier French Cruiser Fund today. Donating just 2$ a month can provide these vessels with the bubble wrap they need to cover their entire propulsion and steering systems just to live a normal life. Please donate. These ships' rudders really are bafflingly, stupidly fragile. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

118 [LMNA] Zero_Kelvin Members 531 posts 6,862 battles Report post #4 Posted May 1, 2017 Algerie is a good ship. No argument there. But the rate at which her rudder constantly goes out is quite frankly hilarious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE! Order now and we'll throw in that your engine will keep working even when disabled, absolutely free!

57 [FAQUE] Tembin Members 523 posts 8,092 battles Report post #12 Posted May 1, 2017 So... my take away from this is that French CAs should prioritize last stand for their first two point skill. Can someone with significant experience in French CAs provide input into whether this is a good idea or bad idea? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trade you for 3% fire chance on Tashkent. Saw RN Jesus smile on a french cruiser when he set 6 fires on 3 BBs in what seemed like a minute. The game just started and the enemy push at the cap was already defeated by French cruiser fire. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 THE_HoriZON_In_tHE_North Beta Testers 8 posts Report post #18 Posted May 2, 2017 This is an appeal. A desperate plea on behalf of a group that can't speak for themselves. Every day there are vessels sailing amongst us that can barely stay afloat. Ships for whom even the slightest breeze can cause wildfires and suffering. These poor vessels live their lives in constant fear, knowing that their crappy concealment and thin deck will lead to their roasted end of life. Ships like the Izumo, they need your help now. So please donate to the IJN Not-So-Super Battleship Fund today. Donating just $1 a month can pay these vessels' maintenance crew to wash off the fuel they spilled all over the deck, making the blazing lives of Izumos better. Please donate. These ships' decks really are incendiary and stupidly easy to lit. (I love Izumo tho, no one blames you for anything you do ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
