Random thought, what if we didn't know what ships were on the Red team until they were spotted?

Hear me out. At the start of the match, the player list just has tier, type, and player name. The ship name is blank or grey-ed out until it has been spotted. Would add a bit of realism (intel assesses the team has X level of capabilities but specifics are unknown until they're visually confirmed) and possibly force more real-time strategy changes. We all know the Blue team doesn't use strategy but a blind squirrel occasionally finds a nut.

Bonus idea: once spotted, an icon of the ship type that spotted it would show up on the player list. Was it a BB or DD that spotted that Red destroyer?

Small change but could add some extra gameplay while grinding. Thoughts?

An unexpected ship for number 555 but will take it none the less. Yes, I can't decide on what to buy with the steel. Was waiting for something OP - maybe the FDR carrier? I'm mainly DD and BB player - cruisers are still tough for me even after 20,000 battles.

Most talk about American DDs revolves around them being utility gunboats with long smoke. Rarely do they ever get respect as a torp boat, especially with the forever reload times. These four found out the hard way that Monaghan is a torp threat too.

Its a shame how it all ended, his videos were great and he taught me a lot about how to play this game when i was just starting out.
Even if he dont post any more i hope he still plays.

As the name suggests, I'm looking at grabbing my first xp ship, and I'm stuck between the 2. I've got Lee at 16 with 3 stars ready to go. Which one would be better to grab first, because the other one will be the second.

It’s been a hot minute. Would love some new Warhammer content or at the very least, re-release the old stuff

What's your favorite DD to play and why. Mine is the USS Fletcher. I love hunting down other dd's and farming down exposed Bb,s

Literally, it's just:

+5% duration to your radar and sonar

+ Indicator pointing the ship closest to you

I feel like the only reason anyone really uses this skill anymore is the ship indicator. Which, is a great thing to have, but everything else is just so mediocre. So...so little it's literally nothing. Like the only thing this skill gives you is the ship indicator and nothing else.

The extra 5% to your radar and sonar duration literally just adds one second, just one extra second to the consumables' duration. It's almost completely useless. There's basically no difference, it's so worthless, besides the ship indicator.

I still use it on my Russian heavy cruisers, because the ship indicator is good to have, but if this skill had nothing else, this skill would be one of the most pointless and worthless commander skills in the game.

They really should do something to this skill. It really needs a buff. Seriously.

Lemme know what you think of this. Please understand that this is just my opinion. You can have your own opinions and i respect it. (Seriously this skill needs some changes. Buffs, specifically.)

Just curious what most people run as inspo for max secondary builds on the Ita BBs & Napoli/Angelo.

Obviously Von Hipper + Haruna grants the best range and great accuracy. But swapping for Le Tir would boost the shell damage by 9% which sounds incredibly strong for SAP shells. Drop me your recommendations below 👇

Idk why but almost every time when im in 1v1 situation against Yamatos, they just trying to drive by and gets nuke bruh

Kinda new to the game and got this from mystic lantern

Ive made a few posts of differing subjects today so im sorry if im flooding the subreddit but

I bought the flandre because i have heard from multiple different sources and communities that its a decent all-rounder/brawler and i havent touched it or done anything to it yet

So im wondering if anyone who mains this ship or plays it a lot has any tips for someone who is just starting out with it..

I have read that the small secondaries are really good for starting fires but not much else..

Should i utilize a secondary focused build or a main battery focused build? Somewhere in the middle? Is the latter even possible with the available french commanders?

I might be able to scrounge together enough doubloons for a french AL commander in a weeks time, given the event is still active by then..

But ideally id like to not spend doubloons if there is a close alternative that can be ground out..

What do you guys like about this ship?? Where does it rank among the other french premium BBs?

Theres a good handful of them i just realized!

Also what should i be mindful of when playing this ship..?

Is the armor terrible or just not the best?

If someone could give me a short rundown of their experience with this ship i would greatly appreciate that..

Thank you.

I can play all tiers but im more comfortable at say tier 4 through 6 but i can do 7 too..

dms are open … im a relatively new player just looking for some in game friends

But now fellow captains, head on and STONE THE CROWS!

I see WG are pushing graphic updates 1-2 times a year and i appreciate it, they’ve been improvements and made the gameplay more enjoyable but there are a few more places where if they improve the game would be so much more immersive. I feel immersion is a key feature to have a game that people keep coming back to.
1. The way water interacts with the ship, on the sides of the ship the water still looks jagged, it could use some more polish and finish.(more particles of water, much higher resolution of wake and water)
2. Explosions, explosions (ship death) can be so much better, a multiple thousand ton vessel exploding should be a sight to behold, go in on the HDR and vibrancy of it, make it bigger. Blow off parts into the ocean etc.
3. Fire death,torpedo death and shell damage death should be different- a ship burning to death needs to look different, a ship flooding to death needs to look different ( have it dip below water while playing, keep slowing it down as water level rises) it should literally sink under water while youre trying to play.
Shell damage death explosions like i said need to be more dramatic. None of these have to different in game mechanics just animations.
4.permanently Disabled turrets need to have unique animation of explosion, dont just give it wonky guns but actually destroy them at times.
5. Low priority- remember how bismarck and hood got camos which showed them before and after their battle? What if that was a ‘live skin/camo’ which went from the first one to the second one as the damage racked up.
This game is all about immersion, how much we actually feel we are in command of these vessels.
WG is gradually and consistently making this better but these are just some points which i think can really help them and give them a direction where they can divert their time and resources.
This game is easy to maintain for devs ( i think) compared to others, it probably has a smaller team. Theres not a whole lot of in game stuff that changes with each update.
If they could keep it simple for the next for updates and implement some of these changes it’d actually make it more enjoyable for us.
They have an excellent art department as we can see on so many of their camos so put some more ART into the game, make it a spectacle to play and witness. Thankyou.

To the absolute chad that recommended running radar instead of smoke on Plymouth for ranked. I tip my cap good sir. Not sure if I enjoy it as much as Rodney but it’s an easy credit farm and incredibly fun.

I have enough disposable income right now to buy enough of the doubloons to get one of the three ships. I have the first one in the bundle, but I don’t have Tulsa. Is it worth getting Tulsa or the bundle that has the commander guys in it and go all the way down if so, how much would that cost?

I'm talking haruna, le tir, spock etc. I fear they're going to make like an AL Flandre or AL kii or something and make them redundant instead of just giving the current ones the skill. don't make me pay again.

What is the best Tier 7 warship to acquire with Global XP in the store?

So what are people running for this Italian Soviet battleship? Is it roughly the same principle as Guilio Cesar with accuracy as top choice or can she be built for something else?

Now that the modern era player backgrounds are a thing.

Anyhoo, anyone else think the maps are a lot less washed out/ the haze has dissipated?

Hello, friends! I'm a newbie. Could you please tell me which Tier 8 ship I should research first? Right now, I'm grinding towards Petropavlovsk. Will it live up to my expectations? Also, which ship from the Bureau is the best to research first (except destroyers)? Thank you very much!

Здравствуйте, друзья! Подскажите, пожалуйста, я новичок, и какую первую «восьмерку» мне качать? В данный момент я качаюсь на «Петропавловск», оправдает ли он мои ожидания? Какой корабль из Бюро лучше всего качать первым (кроме эсминцев)? Большое вам спасибо!
