I really got spoiled playing the Bayern, I can't get the New Mexico or Fuso to work at all. They both feel incredibly inaccurate. Hopefully I can find the groove on these again, or its going to be a long painful grind to the Nagato and Colorado.

The Fuso is the most accurate BB at its tier, and the New Mexico is in-between (but doesn't have an option for the accuracy mod). I have done lots of damage with my NM, but wins were harder. The Fuso though has been easy mode as long as you do two things:

Stay at 10-15km
Angle forward at about 15-20 degrees from the target.

So, awhile back I mentioned using CE on my nikolai and having some fun because of the stealth. The problem is that the maps are fairly tiny, so while I'm stealthier, it isn't really all that much considering the map sizes it plays in. Instead, I was looking around my skill set and found something even more hilarious. IFHE. For the tier 1 skill, I took expert loader so I can more quickly switch between the shell types when needed. This doesn't seem like a good idea since you can just fling your current shells and then switch. But I've actually had some use with it as players at this tier are sometimes unpredictable where a shot that would have worked suddenly won't. And you have the time to just switch to a favorable one.

Or you can go preventative maintance instead and just stick to tossing he shells. It is a wonderful thing.

Basically sounds like a Kutuzov/Molotov build. Or most Russian cruisers.

I haven't played in a long time; didn't have it installed for over a year until a couple of days ago.

I have a lovely not-even-upgraded Omaha and I hate that it's detected so far outside its terrible gun range.

However, today the enemy team decided to shoot the juicy Omaha pinata and failed badly. Nailed a lucky torp into a magazine det around a corner on a Leander, finished off a beat-up Kirov, and on my last bit of health closing in on a Leander while otherwise drawing badly aimed fire in perhaps the weirdest matchmaker I've yet to see:

This guy blind torped me and detonated me. My entire team fled spawn leaving me behind (I was with cruisers and destroyers) and he spent the entire game spamming all chat about how he is the true seal clubber.

I was disappointed to see how bad a seal clubber he was.

I have no idea what changed because I was playing just fine for the past 2 weeks and for a few days after the update, then suddenly the game takes forever to load in. Also ships can take over a minute to appear after being spotted.

Defrag. That fixes things up for me when I et the slow loading after an update. I use Defraggler so I don't have to do the whole hard drive just to fix the one game.

I don't think I've seen one without smoke so far, seems to me like not having the smoke would be bad for its health based on my experience shooting Edinburghs. Saw a couple Minotaurs try to run radar instead of smoke in a game on Flamu's stream and it did not go well for them at all. If you played it like an Atlanta then maybe, but I think people see the British cruisers and view them as free citadels/XP pinatas and go right for them. I have yet to play that line though, so my opinion here isn't the best informed, but it doesn't seem agile enough to wiggle terribly well and it doesn't have the range that the USSR and German cruisers at tier have to compensate for that.

I think the also see "that ship is super loving annoying, kill it." Speaking of which, I've seen a sharp uptake in the effectiveness of my DM, which was an already effective ship, since taking delayed fuse.

I've also seen a sharp uptake in whole teams ignoring everyone else to try to kill me, just like when I do when I drive my Minotaur.

Edit

Re: Flamu

1. Calling people "mongoloids" is racist as gently caress. As a European he has ought to know better.

2. I'm intrigued by his "Adrenaline Rage" (sic) Scharnhorst/Tirpitz setup. I think I might give a go... unfortunately I don't have a 15+ other German captain I can just switch setups on. I do have a spare 13pt Bayern captain I might use though.

Europeans aren't Americans. "mongoloid" is friendly banter. I've had to curse so hard that the ghost of Martin Luther King came down to ask me to stop, and I just got a warning.

Yeah, the 30-member capacity is so absurdly limited compared to what WoT has that it feels like they'll just increase the slots once enough people sink doubloons into it, under the guise of "community feedback", when really it was all planned from the start.
