Applied as Platonicsolid. Boates are a nice distraction between diaper changes.

Just done.

Edit: Cool. Just donated some silver. Not a ton, more when I have more.

I played around a bit last night with the South Carolina and Florida. They were really, really fun. Raining death on people never gets old. (Nor does running into mountains because I'm zoomed in on ships 6 kilometers away.)

Yeah, good times! I try to be more situationally aware. Zoom, rain death, back to normal to maneuver. More like sniping and less like carpet bombing. Seems pubbies just fire as soon as they reload.

Still trying to get the hang of carriers, inclined to think it's not worth it?

Just had a really good run in my Bagley. So many subs just stopping dead, as if then the torpedoes can't see them.

Combination of real life and the grind have reduced my boates time of late. Feel free to drop me if fleet space is needed.

Good fleet battles with goons tonight. I feel like I was the boat anchor of the team, but hey, nice to be had. At least I felt better with a post-fleet match of slaughtering distracted BBs with torpedo salvos.

Has anybody been having crash to desktop issues? Hoping this is a known bug and not a hardware issue.

I got to fleet battles late, and was particularly off. Was stunned I made it so far in that 3 CV match. I think my reflex with DDs is to got for dumb pubbie kills, which doesn't work in fleet battles. Not sure why they didn't torp the crap out of me.

Up to tier 5 on most US lines. Matching a tier 5 CV is nearly impossible, at least when I've tried. Sounds like running elite ships is the best way to get silver?

We should probably put the Mumble stuff, and some pointers on fleet battles in the OP. I and others have come in rather ignorant, might make FB smoother.

Side note, I see very few British ships out there. Are they all just poo poo, or just too new?

Let me know, I'll be on around 9ish

Eastern? I am down, and I'll give it 60/40 on availability.

In other news, I find I'm starting to max out the level for the US tree. Up to the Nevada on BBs, the Ranger on CVs, will buy the Porter once I have the silver. Subs seem to get demonstrably worse at higher levels and I don't enjoy them as much. Time to switch trees, and if so, to where? Japan seems the obvious choice, I've only done enough to get the Fubuki there. Are there gems lying in the British or German trees?

Totally forgot they have an afternoon fleet battle. Will aim to make it this evening.

I got wedged against the BB we were swarming and stuck going 31 knots...backwards.

I would play with goons more if I knew what time goons would habitually log on to shoot botes.

We had a good run on fleet battles for a while, then they just got impossible to get matches for.
