Yeah, but if you already have an account it just gives you the Humble Bundle flag.

Anyone else notice anything odd between WR on identical ships? I have Kamikaze and Kamikaze R which are identicla stat wise, and use the same officer between them. I have almost the same number of battles and alternate playing them so both are played at the same times.

Yet my WR is 45% on R and 56% on Regular, and both are nearly at the 100 battle mark, though Regular is into the 90s and R is in the high 80s.

Stat wise, it should be the other way around, as according to WTR I actually perform better in the R than in the Regular.

RNGesus giveth and RNGesus taketh away.

That may be true on a per-battle basis, but all other things being equal, the averages should be at least similar.

In my experience RNGesus hates me and my unfortunate crews in World Of Warships. In my latest game my poor North Carolina was ravaged most foul by a horde of Bismarks

Less than one hundred battles though. It's not a massive sample.

Does one of the ships have a boost that keeps it out of battles with ships two tiers higher?

No, the Kamikaze R and Kamikaze are literally identical other than name.

More fun when you end up against a cruiser or BB 2 tiers higher, with fully rotating turrets and so and your in a older layout m with there greater range, and firepower.

Thr gap between the woeld war one designs and world war two in second set of tiers can be quite the leap.

Like when cruisers armaments grow to 8 inch etc.

Reminded once more that I am really not fond of the lower tiers, another friend started the game and we were doing T2. Just idk what it is about it but I never have fun that low. Sometimes I can in T3-4, but thats mostly because I goof off in the Katori and Yubari.

because all the big, famous , and inspiring ones are in top tiers.

and you have higher health pools, big guns and so.
at low levels, your not got the iconic ships or the feeling of uncleashing a full iowa broadside.

Honestly, my biggest gripe with the low-tier ships is that the gun layouts are all over the place. Casemate guns aren't fun, and neither are the HMS Dreadnought-style "let's glue a turret here!" BBs.

Oh... That French BB with 6+ turrets.
That's kinda insane.om sailing by its got about 12 guns. It's like a floating gun battery!

Yeah, casement guns do kinda disappointing you when you have 10 guns and only 6-7 you can use.

But... But...

Theres also thr ability to flip extremely quickly mid Manorbier to bring more guns to bear outside your turret turn speeds.

So it's kinda a mixed bag I guess. Using them takes a diffrent set of skills.

After having gotten my hands on a T8 US cruiser I now once again trust in RNGesus!

Well you still get ships like the Emden at lower tiers which are or were rather fairly famous, its just not fun to play them.

Yeah, that certainly plays into it. You learn the game wrong (in a sense), DDs charging full out to drop torps, BBs and Cruisers broadsiding 90% of the time in order to get all their scattered guns on target. Then you get to T5, where load outs are more or less normalized and how they are for the rest of the game or only slightly off, and DDs need to play more stealthy. You've gotta learn two different games.

Aye... I think hardest part is when the two combine. I've played odd T5 and well. When your getting a T6 with full turret layouts vs my casement and having to expose my flanks.

That can seriously hurt!

I think thats where my enjoyment of the Yubari and Katori comes from, while they are by no means great or even good ships, they have the familiar lay out of higher tier ships.

So the Prinz Eugen after having gained Repair Party is an awesome ship. I've been using it in ranked as I slowly progress (only getting like 2-4 games in a day) and I'm loving it.

Got to rank 10 with a 68% win rate playing exclusively Akizuki. Let the horror of T10 braindead teams begin I guess.

Nice, thats a pretty good win rate. Im not looking forward to getting to the T10 part of the Battles for the brain dead aspect. It's just, T10 manages to not be very fun.

Easy kills lol..

Ground my way to rank 10 with my enterprise, only struggled against one other CV player, but that was due to my errors rather than him doing anything, used the money to purchase my Montana, and have yet to leave the rank 10 bracket, it certainly feels as though rank 10 hell is going to be worse than any other season. Might have to gring out the exp and money for the minotaur in a hurry and go on some star saving exercises by knowing how to play a RN cruiser.

Unlocked the Yamato, but the first game out in it I couldn't score standard pens at all, had like 5, but got like 20 Overpens. Still had like 80k damage, but no kills.

Unlocked Z-52 this week and managed to get to rank 10 in ranked last week.

Finally unlocked the Gneisenau earlier this week after grinding for silver to buy her while she was on sale. Absolutely love the ship. I'm 1 skill point away from getting the manual fire control for secondary armaments. It's so bizarre having a ship that has torpedoes, it really feels like it makes up for having only 6 guns.

Nice job. The Gneis and her Sister are two of my favorite ships to play. Armored well enough to survive fights, pack a punch with their main batteries and secondaries and the torps are a great addition. Combine that with their speed and you can play aggressive enough to get in.

I now have a million 8 point US captains.

Japan, and 10, but same.

God damn I am loving this ship. Probably not that impressive to some of the veterans on here, but for me this was a really good game.
