Both recommendations are good. I'll get both. Thanks

I never look back

Well I have seen some bad teams today including my most recent where our cruisers sat at the rear, our DD's suicided and the Carrier sat back and whined that noone sat at spawn to babysit him.
Unsurprisingly my Kongou was sunk when, along with the other three BB's we tried to work together and got mobbed by Torpedo Bombers and DD's.

Not a fan of the new patch :(

Any particular reason why? Or did they just nerf a ship you like?

As a side note, R.I.P. Mogami, you were great while it lasted..

I got bored of this pretty quick, moving round a map clicking isn't my cup of tea, every battle just felt the same.

I have the problem that even with battleships that my shots don't citadel or just do spauling damage, waiting time before i become active in a game is longer?
I had a few times that the game starts and i am already dead :(, getting citadelled even when angled? (New mexico doesn't do it for me). Fuso has supposedly
thinner armor but i never get much citadels on me.

I don't really play battleships other then my warspite so I can't comment on particular ships. I haven't noticed any change in citadel hitting though so I don't know if that has anything to do with the patch.

I've been citadelling gak as usual, even with my 130mm gremyashy guns.

Then i probably just suck

Wait, WG have nerfed BB's? Really?

No, they haven't. Nothing in the patch notes would indicate this and Jehan is just speaking from anecdotal evidence.

Here's my anecdotal evidence.

Warspite? and no one in a New Mexico erased you?

Well I logged on today.
I am not sure what they have done but the awful lag I was getting a few patches ago is back. I guess I will never get my ARP Kongou

Why would they? I know how to angle my armor. Hell, my entire ship and captain are fitted for close combat where my secondaries come in (at 7.3Km) and also, it's stealthy, spotted at 14km is pretty damn great on a BB. 16km range (19-20 with spotting aircraft) is enough when you can hide your fat ass.

I tried to give WoWs a second chance here today. Instead, after patching ~4 hours, it now crashes every time as soon as the loading screen comes up after clicking PLAY.
I checked a few things, restarted, etc etc and then went to the forums only to find this has been happening almost a month now with no fix? ; c'mon, that is pretty lame, by any standard.

Not to mention that uninstalling to try a reinstall failed because the ''why are you uninstalling'' survey page mucked up the uninstall process.

That one person had a great game, whether anecdotally or ''imaged'', is no more and/or no less valid than those who have repeated crappy games.
Chance is just that, chance, random, arbitrary.

We are also trying to play a game made by folks who have no problem with the meta where certain ships are deliberately designed to go BOOM if not otherwise provide some kind of hurdle to grinding.

Matches with an almost even split between battleships and destroyers but very few cruisers (if any) seem to be a thing now as well down to T4.
Another new thing is ships can be invisible at even closer ranges than before (on top of server/personal lag), including BBs at ~5 kilometers not begin observed until they start shooting at you.


Something I've noticed is just since December (not over the holidays, but earlier in the month) the NA server population when I was on during various times through the day up to late morning was 8-9K online; now it's only like 5-6K folks.



edit:
If you patch and the game keeps crashing right away, the quick fix is don't bother checking anything on your PC or hunting updates for your graphics card.

Restart to safe mode (no internet) and either let the game uninstall itself or use control panel; if you don't go to safe mode you'll probably have to delete the WoWs folder itself piece by piece given the size (about 28 gigs).
Restart again (maybe defrag) and get the launchpad download, then the game will patch the same ~4.5 and ~5.5 gig torrent patches, let it install, then it should be ready to go.

I officially done with the game for a while broadsided several cruisers with the fuso, new mexico and nagato only to get some spalling damage, not fun.

I loaded this up last weekend and my interest lasted 2 games.
I just dont like the World of... genre anymore.

I'm quite enjoying the Russian Destroyers- torpedo machine guns are lots of fun!

I can't figure out how to shoot accurately at range, so battleships are wasted on me.

I've finally gotten tired of it too.
