Message me as Grithok when you get in the game or bug me on mumble. I can invite you that way via friends list. That is if reapplying fails again.

I'll do that. I'm pretty sure it said 1700 hours or so until I could re-apply.

Imagine four 'mechs waiting in a queue. Time works the same way.
Fleet battles start in 2 hours and 10 minutes from now and end in 4 hours and 10 minutes

There is a weekly event where if you win 2 fleet battles you can get 360 merit.

The lowest fleet battle is 7-10 people, tiers 2-4, except DDs and SSs are tiers 2-3

Sounds fun and exciting. Is ther a guide to getting on Mumble for this for the antisocial who can't figure out what the "CTS" server means?

I really like that even low tier battleships can hit something and not hope that RNGesus is there to save them that day.

I might have "accidentally" cleared the applications. If you didn't get, once more unto the breach good friend :shobon:

The dark judge fleet has a good set up and killed us over and over again.

Also, if you are a try hard, do fleet battles. Otherwise you may want to stay out unless other bad boat players play.

You just have to win twice, GOOD LUCK!

It's not even that difficult of a tactic to master.


DDs scout at max range, BBs clown on whatever gets spotted, smoke the scouters, rinse, repeat.

Confirming in-game app (Kenby).

If anyone was wondering about how gold recharging bonuses work, you can only claim one bonus per recharge it looks like (you don't get all the lower bonuses, just the first one beneath the amount you spent).


Also, if you buy the per-match VIP it claims it will pause your time-based VIP, but mine kept counting down anyways. Not sure if you actually get both at the same time though.


[edit] Oh, it only pauses it when a boat is in battle. Nvm, I have no idea what makes it tick down.

Just as a friendly reminder if you nailed a sub with one torpedo and your sub has full health ramming them will kill them.

Basically always be ramming subs whenever the opportunity presents itself. Your speed barely seems to matter, even just a glancing love-tap from a CL may instantly kill them.

I've found that the American tier 3 sub's hull is perfect for this because a side scrape will hit a sub two or three times for 100ish damage per hit. It's really the only thing that's fun in the drat thing.

Remember how i said that i was only gonna play subs? Forget that, destroyers are so much more fun and satisfying.

So as it turns out all the tier 4 subs are fun. The Cachalot is kind of poo poo without the turbine upgrade, but after that it turns into a pretty good flanker. And the two rear end tubes makes it fantastic in anti-sub and clowning on bad destroyers.

I've been having an absolute blast with KM cruiser line, especially T5. The only thing is that they're so fragile. I'd recommend them as they're very fun once you get the hang of them.

I've tried playing a carrier a little bit and I'm terrible at it.

The slow planes are annoying, but the lack of vision on anything but scout planes is the worst.

I took out all my scouts and just use fighters for scouting. The upside is I can also use them for shooting down other planes.

Scout planes also have mediocre vision.

Protip though: Look for battleship gun flashes and send your bombers around an open flank there with a wing of fighters in front. Or just a bunch of bombers.

Just beheld the most beautiful sight I wish I had thought to take a screenshot but my eyes just lit up and all thoughts but shooting left my brain. There were about 5-6 battleships all sitting in a giant clump not moving, shooting fish in a barrel doesnt even describe it.

There is a nice squad option that you can do so you can have presets for ships and two button click to set them up. All ships should have their own layout too.

But it does take awhile to get enough officers for you to do this.

Not at all. Just if they say "surface ship only" or "in cruisers" or "dive bombers" they won't do anything if you don't match that.

No penalty but you potentially lose out on a gently caress ton of bonuses if you're not creating squads for each ship type.
