Shop around for doctors! Always fucking shop for doctors. Doctors are stupid assholes. And they get by because people are cowed by their mystical bullshit quality of being able to maintain a 3.0 GPA at some Guatemalan medical college for 3 semesters. Find one that makes sense.

Good call, I have had a nightmare few days. Cycling between Gearing/Yueyang/Grozovoi/Zao games and it has been awful.


When I played well, my team fail cascaded like it was their job - when it mattered, I made terrible decisions. Mixed in those last 45 games are at least 3 or 4 ZERO damage games where I made terrible newbie mistakes. Pushing too hard, turning into torpedoes, repairing a fire and then eating a flooding torpedo...list goes on. Sometimes you just gotta eject.

Today's sale ship is the ATLANTA.

It is -50%, and also -50% in the tech-tree shop, so I picked it up for 4500 doubloons.

You should not do this, but you could:

quote:

During GO NAVY! event, there will be a "common" container in the premium shop, which contains 2x10 team tokens.

There will also be team-containers (which include 450 coal) in the Arsenal for 5 tokens each.

So you can buy 1.800 coal with each common container from the premium shop.

That means you can get the Salem for 133 of these containers.

If each container costs 3-5 Euros, you can get the Salem for 399-665 Euros.

WOW! I sat behind an Island at A cap on Estuary and just machine gunned everything that came in, including a Freddie who immediately regretted his decision. Realllly tempted to build a dedicated captain for this ship as my only good one is the DM captain which doesn't have BFT. A gud bote.

Lolanta is amazing. However, I wouldn't advise BFT for it. For 3 points it gives you .3 seconds of reload, and makes your amazing AA marginally more amazing. For a dedicated Lolanta capt I would do PT/AR/DE/CE/IFHE/AFT/PM in that order. To share with USN CL I would just switch DE for SI, since the upper tier USN CL's get 500 consumables. Also after you get AFT, I highly suggest playing carrier matches with AA turned off until you are air detected. If they are approaching it's already too late for them to turn around before they get into your mid range, and you absolutely demolish near-tier planes with DFAA on so quickly it's hilarious.

Yeah, if you were using a dm capt and thought the lol-anta was good then, wait until you try the lol-anta with ifhe. And if you were running ifhe on your dm, you made a poor choice in skills anyway and need to correct that. My dedicated/now cl captain skipped CE for now just to have ifhe and aft. However, that is a personal thing and does require a change in personal play to account for it.

I actually opt not to run AFT or IFHE on my lolanta (I am making a DD/atlanta gunbote captain for it) because the ability to ambush/gank someone then drop into stealth is really nice.

My 19 point Cleveland captain opted for DE and PM instead of AFT, and it seems to work fine. Of course, I am debating converting it into a viable Massachusetts captain....

IFHE on Lolanta is almost mandatory. For a ton of the targets you run into its literally "do you want to do damage? y/n". You can still run CE with it. Also, there is no possible way of making a dual purpose DD/Lolanta captain because Lolanta will never want to take SE (the absolute only choice on all DDs that are actually DDs for your third pick). Also DDs must run LS second pick, whereas this is pretty much a waste on cruisers.

I mean right now it is

SA, AR, BFT, CE, SI. That is 13 points, leaving 6 for SE, LS, and PM.

It is sort of a team support/cap domination build that also works for my Sims and Kidd.

I had Notser in a Yamato (on the enemy team) get detonated last night. That was amusing... of course, less amusing was when the team threw the game too. Three idiots, including both DDs, being held up by a single Hindenburg (that they never actually sunk), while the rest of their team picked the rest of us apart one by one.

I beat Notser's team when he had a Kronhstadt and I had an NC. It was a confederate/high caliber/fireproof/dreadnaught game just pushing their weak flank hard while spamming MUST IMPRESS NOTSER after each of 4 kills.

He seemed amused.

Might be less uncommon than you think, I got 3 cits into a Montana from about 11km with a Mass, same match where I ate a DD and an FDG with secondaries. The description says that Mass's guns are low-accuracy, but I've found them nothing but devastating.

Yes I absolutely can, because the only reason the Bismarck is on top of the scoreboard is from all the damage it racked up in the failed ram. If the Bismarck had done the smart thing and turned to shoot at it while angled instead and let me torpedo it, my Akizuki would have been near the top, the Bismarck in the middle, and we'd both have lived to continue the battle.
