There are too many stupid people in the world. I'm not saying we should kill them all or anything. Just take the warning labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself.

I think that is the gold from the Humble Bundle they hosed up for everyone. I received 11500 gold from thin air, no ship or slots. If I don't like it, I get it all back when the live happens.

So... something in this screen is lying. Or there's some serious math fail.



Also, you can actually get the prem consumables for silver! Just get into the menu and click here:



Prices are the same at any tier, 15 gold or 22.5k silver per match.

Also, I seem to somehow be doing kinda decent with the freakin' Kawachi of all things. Citadel-ing cruisers including the St. Louis is actually possible with this shitbarge if you fire from beyond 7km to get the shells to arrive in an arc.

I have a rig that can run boats on max in 4k but the interface resolution becomes microscopic. :saddowns:

Also, do any of you duders have advice/strategies on how to spend gold / free xp? I don't trust myself with something that I can slippery-slope all of my disposable income away on. :shobon:

- Never convert gold into silver.
- Never buy consumables for gold.
- Buying a decent high-tier prem ship is a good long-term silver income source.
- Buy extra slots as you need or want them when they're discounted.
- Prem account is good if you take at least a week and know that you'll be playing a lot.

Yeah, a good premium and prem account for when you're grinding are the big difference makers.

And buying slots when they discount is good. I know you want to keep that sexy St. Louis (who doesn't, only plebs hate the st louis), but just sell it for now and rebuy it once the slots go on sale. That is, unless you're fine not doing CVs, which is totally ok and you shouldn't feel bad, in fact, you should feel good.

Of course, slots are discounted until Monday now.

Also, I kind of wish the gold Repair Party came with an extra charge over a 40s cooldown reduction.

But given that they probably just gave out thousands of ships they didn't intend on giving out...it's kind of understandable.

I guess it comes down to crew training and the fact that the Japanese have ships worth playing on all lines, whereas the US really just have cruisers, carriers, and good battleships only when you hit T8+.

The US destroyers are great, but I can totally understand if they don't appeal to everyone. I burned through all my free xp at the end and got the Fletcher, and it was amazing. :allears:

Not really. I only ever made it to T8, and didn't see the point in trying to get higher at that point, because I figured it would burn me out before the reset, which is probably would have.

It's cool, you can just hang around cruisers that can outpace you...and just get *closer* to the enemy! This is a team-based game - your teammates are *always* happy to provide you with AA coverage!

Ideally, you should be able to upgrade your ship with additional Bofors mounts if it has the *space* for them.

Really hating Sims because gently caress it gets detected from so far, smoke doesn't really help and you need to be within 2 km to have chance with torps. Not to mention getting crit hit to engine/turrets from single shell and becoming sitting duck. Speed doesn't help at all.

You can murder any destroyer that spot you though, so that's something.

As for the tank, I had one Sims tanking 6 305mm HE from my Wyoming and he kept spamming nasty torps.
