How often do you actually deal significant flooding damage anyway? Unless the dude was an idiot and burned his Damecon right before your torps hit. And flooding damage is 100% repairable with Repair Party, so... If I were WG I would make flooding impossible to repair from while greatly reducing the damage. Now it's more of a speed debuff than a DoT like fire, with the caveat that multiple floods are super dangerous.

The real challenge is to find something that Wargaming actually deems appropriate. BTW, saw a clan running around with the tag TORPS, so I guess that one can't be that inappropriate. SEAGL, Lesbian Seagull... but they'll think we're talking about their action hero crush.

I don't understand how y'all could possibly enjoy IJN DDs beyond sealclubbing in the isokaze. Hydro or radar invalidates you and your health can disappear in a hot moment because of a stealthy USN DD or a stealthy cruiser while you're spotted by a CV, and RPF (the way it's currently used on NA) seems tailor-made to specifically hunt for IJN DDs.

They didn't add the data for any new premiums in the last patch, so unless they stuff another one in before then, it'll just be repeats of what we already have. There'll be lots of tier 6s and 7s on sale in advance of ranked though, either spaced out, or in one big one.

Clarence posted:Have they ever nerfed a premium? Or do they just stop selling it? They significantly altered a premium in World of Tanks. Because of this due to some EU commerce law they had to offer a full refund for it. Usually they just stop selling it. However, if they significantly alter a mechanic in the game that impacts all things equally then I do not believe they have to offer the refund thing. The example that springs to mind is the LEFH from WoT which fired awesome HEAT shells on release. They then changed how HEAT worked and nerfed the penetration of the shell across the board so I don't think they offered a refund for it. Sperglord Actual posted:February event calendar is up. Any idea what ships will be in the special bundles? I can't believe we aren't allowed to have DONGS but they can unironically use loving "Torpedo Polisher". Also Dunkin Doenitz is funny, but I feel NACL probably fits me better. I rage in chat....a lot.

Is it worth it to transfer officers up if you're moving to higher tiers? Assuming I'm staying within the same class?

Mutsu. It's the Nagato A hull, moved down to tier 6 with torpedo tubes. I unlocked the Southern Dragon today. As expected it's an ARP Myoukou without the squeaky voices and it sinks stuff just fine.

Thundercakes posted:Chat ban is a badge of honor, wear it proudly. You're not wrong, you're basically down a player before the match even starts if your CV sucks and the other one is even moderately serviceable. I barely play CV, and nothing above T4 in over a year, but I am debating on picking it up again. Even if I'm mediocre, it's still going to be better than most of the CV I run into.

Sperglord Actual posted:Mutsu. It's the Nagato A hull, moved down to tier 6 with torpedo tubes. I appreciate trying to create a new ship to fill a niche at t6 especially as Mutsu was literally Nagato Class and their late war setup would be mostly the same for gameplay purposes. But with t6 having some of the worst matchmaking in game, having a Nagato A hull ship with some brawling torps going against t7 and t8 battleships is not a good proposal. ESPECIALLY if it keeps the A hull shells, which I recall as having wimpy penetration values.

I want to say both Nagato and Amagi lost the lovely shells they had on their bottom hulls as of a patch or two ago, so unless Mutsu is being based on the bottom hull as it used to be, that at least won't be a problem.

Does anybody else here love the Akatsuki? It's by far my most successful ship with an astonishing 81,4% win rate in it. Thanks to camos and doubles I finished the grind to the Kagero in just 27 battles. It has all: speedy, stealthy, good and fast torps, workable guns. A true jack of all trades, with really good torps.

Been on a Warships break since the new skills patch came out. Have CAs all of a sudden seen a resurgence with IFHE? There seems to be a ton more Cruisers and they seem to hurt me a lot more than before.

Strictly speaking Mutsu never had a late war setup. If it's not total crap I might get one to go with my Arizona.

And flooding damage is 100% repairable with Repair Party, so... Flooding is absolutely an extremely rare occurrence to have ticking on anyone at all these days. Since it deals so much damage, even the reddest of players usually saves repair for it in a danger zone. In the case that they don't, it does help that battleship repair duration is so long -- admittedly needed considering battleship manoeuvrability, to avoid being baited into repairing a fire then hit by a torpedo a few seconds later.

Giving battleships cruiser-specific (in-game) capabilities is something that they should not have done in the first place. At least IFHE makes battleships cry, I suppose.

Lord Koth posted:I like how WG is still trying to pretend they haven't been utterly loving IJN destroyers over constantly by claiming the flooding changes are aimed at helping them out due to their higher flooding chance. I've never had issues causing flooding with shipboard torpedoes of any nation, so any increased chance they have isn't much, especially considering how much it's counterbalanced by how much easier it is to hit with multiple torpedoes with any other nation due to lacking the utterly bullshit detection times IJN torpedoes have. This is also ignoring that even in T6/7 flooding damage is now reduced from what it used to be - and T6 is the most played tier, followed by T8 (almost exclusively due to the Bismarck and North Carolina) then T7. I think you misunderstand. The flooding % damage is going down on T1-7 ships, but that is if the flooding goes full duration. And full flooding duration damage is going UP for top tiers. The damage is being COMPRESSED from 120 seconds to 90 seconds, as well. Damage per tick is going UP by 30+% for T8+ ships, which is huge. The only ships that are seeing a reduction in damage per tick are T1-3 ships. If the flooding does not go the full 90 seconds, this is effectively a HUGE boost in flooding damage. Only after 90 seconds is there any "potential" damage being lost, and almost no ships will ever have that happen. Though BoS and the anti-flooding mods are now arguably stronger. Arguably.

My only gripe is that the easiest ships to torpedo are potatoes who are comfortably tunnel vision'd without anyone shooting back at them. So usually when you do hit one of these clods with a torp, his damage control is ready to go. If people were actually lighting him up and setting fires, those players are often dodging and weaving just enough to make torp hits a crap shoot, or more likely they are peeling away from your team and will easily creep out of torp range without even realizing it. But when you do catch them on cooldown thats all she wrote. I absolutely agree this is a much bigger buff for the carriers than it is for stealth torping destroyers.

Get caught in a Grosser Kurfurst with your repair just down and be flooded? There goes >50k health from flooding in addition to whatever amount of damage the torps did.

So I made a thing for myself but figured I'd share just in case: http://imgur.com/a/Hg9DJ http://www.mediafire.com/file/n0a6i1ecn8y9aur/camouflages.xml Basically all it does is change the Santa's Convoy perma camos to look like the gold perma camos that you can buy. I really hated how the Santa's Convoy camos looked but I wanted to use them because I didn't want to spend gold/credits on other camos. Just throw the camouflages.xml into \res_mods\0.6.0.1 and you're good to go.
