WoWS 3 year Anniversary events going on right now.

Yup. Not really impressed. No mention of an Anniversary ship.

Submarines announced for this year's Halloween event. It will serve as an initial test for their addition to the game in a normal Tech Tree at some point down the line.

Just got into World of Warships and I am enjoying the early game, but I am finding it waaaaaaay grindy compared to other games, and the rewards just aren't there....

Going down the german BB line, Got the Nassau, and she's pretty rubbish with the accuracy, but once I get her down.....she can really hammer down

Perhaps because I've played other Wargaming titles, I find the grind quite pleasant, once you get your account rolling you end up with a lot of things to help out with the grind in regards to camo and signal flags.

That's pretty much the German BB line. Rubbish accuracy, but if you can get close enough to mitigate that...

hah....sounds like a good time....tank the damage and blow up the bad guys.

Or fun and engaging rounds like this.



Thank God for the CV rework.

I mean, that's a GZ balance problem, not a CV problem. Any issues with CV's could have been solved along the way, like putting an actual CV tutorial in the game, or reducing ship spotting, or reducing the alpha.

Plus instead of being alpha'd and then waiting a minute before getting alpha'd again, the rework "as it looks" is going to bring none stop DOT which will be even more fun.

It being a DoT at least gives you a chance to fight back. I would have been just as helpless (through no fault of my own) against a Shokaku as I was against that Graf Zeppelin.

Does it though? You get dropped, damage con, then get dropped again, but this time it ticks for full and you get dropped again to shave off some more health, still constantly spotted, still no real chance of fighting back unless you're AA specced and now there's the potential for no friendly fighter support to prevent you getting dropped (I understand it's a rarity) because WG aren't even sure action planes needs fighters.

Not without a massive rework of damage and consumables across the board it doesn't. 4 fires will still kill a Yamato long before you see a single other ship. Throw in a leak and you're screwed before you can clear the spawn.

Throw in that hte new system will make fires and leaks EVEN MORE COMMON and even a prem repair party with every single speed buff available will not protect your ass.

Finally got my GK

Iowa is a colossal piece of crap. The guns don't do what I want them to and because you've got an all-or-nothing design you bleed damage from everywhere. Jesus I hate this ship, can't wait for the grind to be over. The worst part is I know it's not a bad ship, it's just that I can't get it to work.



And, of course, because I posted this post this is what happens in my next game:

Nicely done, both of you! I'm on the Izumo at the moment and I have to say I'm amazed this ship has the terrible reputation that it does, I've played over 20 games in her and I've thoroughly enjoyed Izumo so far. Can't wait to see what Yamato is like.

I'm also currently working my way down the USN BB and CA line. I just unlocked Colorado but don't have the silver to buy her yet. New Mexico was a LOT of fun though. Picked up the Pensacola recently as well, haven't played many games in it yet but I've enjoyed it too thus far.

Izumo recently got buffed so that it isn't penned by 203mm HE absolutely everywhere.

Stopped dying to Nelsons, you say?

No, Nelson has 406mm guns, not 203mm. They're still going to punch the everliving gak out of the deck armour of an Izumo, but the Izumo overmatches pretty much everything on the Nelson so that should be a one-sided fight. Especially considering it's a T7 vs. a T9...

EDIT: Guess we know why Belfast was pulled now...

Imagine if Payfast had it's torpedo's

I got the Huang-he out of a christmas crate and took it for a spin, 4 kills and like 80k damage.

Sure it doesnt feel like a great ship, but you can do work in it.

There's a reason why it's frequently called the "Huang-Meh".

Good even for coop.

Was trying out the new Indonesian Cruiser. I like,

Does it still have the "Kutuzov" text on the stern?

Also, people actually believe the new carriers are UNDERPOWERED?? Like, what? Sure, if you're low-tier and fly into concentrations of AA your planes die before you can strike. That's a feature, not a bug. Meanwhile, Hakuryu is bonkers. Had a game the other day where I broke 100k damage 2 minutes and 30 seconds into the game and picked up liquidator by just repeatedly hitting a flank-spawned Yamato.

We'll have to see what happens after the fire and flood reworks, but right now CVs need a nerf if anything.

LOL Try them without using any of the exploits that are running rampant (Hakuryu). They actually need a buff, but with AA broken and the F key exploit, it's impossible to balance anything.

As I said, Lexington is perfectly fine, and I don't need any exploits to demolish people in Hakuryu.

EDIT: Can't speak for lower tier carriers as I haven't tried them, but T8 is strong and T10 is absurd.

I havent tried low tier in the latest release, but I tried them in PTU and they were awful.

T8 was strong in PTU as well.

Kaga and Saipan are pitiful now, and I got so disgusted with my Lexington that I sold both CV lines all the way back. Figure I'll use the XP to snag Alaska and not sure what I'll do with the other million.


Still sitting on Kaga and Saipan. Not sure if it's worth it to trade them in while I can or not.

Well, Haku seems to have been reined in to a much more reasonable level at least. The immunity of planes as soon as you hit F seems to have been removed as well, which is good.

EDIT: On second thought, I think Haku might have been hit too hard. The change to plane survivability means you bleed planes like crazy, and the aim nerf just further exacerbates this. They should've just fixed the F nonsense, seen how things settled out and then nerfed further if they had to.

Well I got the Yamato 2 days ago and I must say... what a ship @.@

After just 2 matches in it I very nearly broke my record for highest dmg in a single game ever (160K, highest ever was 162). The bow on this thing is ridiculous. I literally feel invincible when I'm prow-on, and the sound of her main battery going off is so bassy and wonderful. Thus far, she's certainly living up to her reputation for me. I definitely get focused down in it though, and I can't help but notice there are always a couple of friendlies trailing my wake wherever I go.
