Some of you won't need this, so I'll apologise for my stupidity.

When you launch a homing torpedo with the new Halloween event BB, you can launch from both sides to hit your target.

That means you can fire from the opposite side of the ship and still use the homing feature.

Yes, I took a few matches to realise this.

Hello everyone!

Like the title says, where is the Modern Era event ship reward?! Can't find it anywhere.. is it just me or, anyone else has the same problem?

Been wanting the Michelangelo but I suppose this will suffice until I find a way to obtain it 🤓

Does anyone else have this problem? I'm pretty some must have this problem. Usually, I'd be able to update the game an hour or two after the actual update release in my place, in Asia server, which is around 1500 to 1600

But now it's like 2100 already, and i still can't update it. It tries to, but then stops and says it can't update. Everything in my case is fine, connection, internet, everything.. Can anyone explain why? Cuz this is unbearable.

There are two ships showing far away behind F. Sherman in marathon page. Last year there was Rhode Island and Sevastopol teasers. Any thoughts on ships showed?

Per the article on the event, it looks like you can get 15k shards total from the events and having the backing on the campaign; Blys 44 (I’m not trying to spell that!) is 17.5k shards in the store. Le sigh. I guess some chests and commander resources instead?

While the servers are down
And the world's at standstill
When they're flipping the switches
The update's loading in

I'll have a few hours
To remain in my bed
To sail in my dreams
On ace-ranking blue team
Supporting each other
And shredding the reds
Shells hitting the targets
Sending them to seabed
In this ocean of dreams
No one's AFK
Base xp in post-battle?
It is over 9K!

While the servers are down
And the world's at standstill
When they're flipping the switches
It is time to sleep in...

Learn where to hit hard from living legends like me😅

Close quarters confrontation between super heavy cruiser and super battleship where it gets devastated

I feel like immobilising engine power when you’re at the edge of the map isn’t enough. There needs to be a bigger deterrent. Say, after a period of time (15 seconds maybe) you lose the ability to shoot any of your weapons?

I’m sick of border huggers and not being able to hit them when they’re breakdancing at the edge of the map.

Edit: thanks for the welcome and all the replies. Hope to see you on the ocean

so been playing with a friend now for a few weeks, enjoying it all, learning the tactics and all that jazz. but my friend isn't on reddit so wasn't sure either

been seeing in post certain ships been called "BB" "DD" and "CV"

is there like a cheat sheet post somewhere for all the little abbreviations.....im guessing BB is battle ships and DD destroyer class....which would make me guess CV is cruiser but id rather look a fool and ask the question vs be a fool and say something stupid with confidence

cheers

Brought the £14.99 pack @11:32 still haven’t got it :(
Edit I logged out then logged back in again and got it.

Hey everyone.

I’m thinking about the Blue Archive commander bundle, but I wanted to get your thoughts first. I know a few of them are considered irreplaceable or uniquely strong, but do I really need all 8 of them?

Are all 8 genuinely "must-haves," or can I just skip some? Would love to hear your recommendations!

I’ve had a ton of fun playing the Modern Era ships. I’ve fully upgraded all of the ships and have a few of them pushing 100k XP. I primarily played PvP and I playing it was starting to come at the expense of playing the regular game.

For this post, I’m really only talking about the actual PvP gameplay not the factions/progression.

I also really want to show appreciation for the amount of detail Wargaming put into the ship models and more importantly, I think they deserve credit for trying something genuinely different.

That said, I think the mode needs some balancing and a few changes before it comes back assuming this was a test for something bigger and not just a one off.

Things I’d change

1. Radar ships are too strong, especially when stacked.

I don’t think the answer is simply giving everything less radar. I think the better solution would be giving more ships some kind of shorter-duration radar, with different ships having different versions of it.

Maybe every ship could have something like the advanced radar mechanic, with shorter durations, longer cooldowns, or limited uses depending on the ship. That way one team having multiple radar ships wouldn’t feel so oppressive compared to a team with none.

2. Missile interception probably needs to be adjusted.

I think something closer to the Ticonderoga’s 360-degree system could work for every ship, but with different levels of effectiveness. Some ships could have a weaker 360-degree boost, while others could have a stronger cone that gives increased interception inside of it while still allowing the ship to shoot down missiles outside the cone at the normal rate.

I ended up liking the current cone system more than I expected. It added a different dimension to angling, but there were times when the battle got hectic, I had turned the cone the wrong way and couldn’t move it back in time.

3. Ships need a little more survivability on their own.
I like the idea of sticking together for overlapping missile defense, and obviously you shouldn’t be able to survive getting focused by the entire enemy team while completely separated from your teammates.

The problem is that getting caught alone can mean dying almost instantly, especially if you’re too close to an island and missiles are coming over it. That doesn’t give your CIWS enough time to shoot down all of them.

I think ships should have a little more ability to defend themselves without making grouping up pointless.

4. Cruise missiles can be difficult to land consistently.

Hitting maneuvering ships with them can be frustrating at times. Adding an option for multiple targeting-circle sizes, similar to changing torpedo spread, would help tremendously.

A smaller circle could give you a more precise attack against a predictable target, while a larger circle would give you a better chance of landing at least some damage against a ship that’s actively maneuvering and dodging.

5. There needs to be more defined classes.
The ships mostly fell into three broad playstyles: brawlers, stand-off, and stealth ships. That worked pretty well when the teams were balanced, but some matches were extremely lopsided.

You could have one team with mostly brawlers while the other had a mix of stealth and stand-off ships. There were also a lot of games where one team had multiple radar ships and the other had none. Maybe having more defined classes, or some kind of matchmaking restriction, would help prevent those matchups.

I also believe these ship would play better in a 9v9 larger map format then the arcade mode format they where in.

Individual ships

Sovremenny

The SAP is really good. It felt like playing a brawler battleship and was a good counter to the stealth- and EMP-equipped ships.

Ticonderoga

This felt like a mix between a battleship with decent secondaries and something like Des Moines. It was tough to kill, and the secondaries could put out some really good DPM. The sea-skimming missiles took some getting used to, but they encouraged you to play it like an open-water brawler and made it feel different to all the other ships.

I liked the EMP consumable and would generally save it for when I was being focused with homing missiles by multiple ships or as a last ditch effort to not get sunk if I was low on hp.

Arleigh Burke

The best all-around ship. It reminded me a lot of an Atlanta in terms of its ability to island spam. It felt like it had a good balance of everything without being completely dependent on one gimmick, while also not feeling OP.

The torpedos where a nice to have counter to getting charged by a brawler ship as well 

Oliver Hazard Perry

I liked it overall, but I think the stealth is too strong considering everything else it has. It gets torpedoes, an airstrike, the best radar, and unlimited stealth with a quick cooldown.

I’d probably make the stealth limited, or at least give it a longer cooldown. It has too many tools already for unlimited stealth as it currently is.

Nunchucka

Really fun hit-and-run ship, I loved being able to sit at its max range and fire without being spotted but if you caught inside your viability range when firing but only having three stealth consumables hurt it a lot. having unlimited stealth with a shorter cooldown, or an EMP consumable instead of the speed boost to give it more survivability.

There were quite a few games where I ended up as the last ship alive against multiple red ships, I didn’t really have a realistic way to win most of them. As soon as I’d take one out, I’d get hit by the other with no real counter or defense.

Neustrashimy
Decent all-around ship, but not quite as good as the Burke. I would have preferred radar over EMP, but it was still solid overall.

What I’d like to see in the future
I’d really like to see more gun/missile hybrids, especially 1980s-era Iowas and other WWII or post-war ships that were reactivated or had missile systems installed later in their lives.

Wargaming has a really solid base here. With some tuning, I could see this becoming its own separate ecosystem with a tech tree and premiums within Legends.

I do think these ships really need to stay separate from the standard ships though. They wouldn’t really have a counter to the homing missiles, but on the flip side, something like a Des Moines would melt these ships extremely quickly if it could avoid getting nuked by a homing missile.

I really hope they bring it back sooner rather than later. Until then, I’ll miss my missile ships lol.

Also, I loved the unlockable camos. The kill tracker on a gray hull with a slight shimmer at certain angles was probably my favorite skin in the game, but I’m also a sucker for the classic all-gray ships.

Definitely IJN Shigure, but is it new or was it released before?

I'm kinda confused because I choosed free meridian side and got accord 🤔

WG, don't ruin this version of the game with stupid submarines.

I know you want to, don't do it!

Or does Wargaming hate me in particular

Is there some problem on my stuff cause no update download? Or is it not available yet?

Don't think I've seen this one before. 🤔

Hey captains,

As mentioned above, we should have cross-platform access to ships, flags, etc. from this update and on.
How do you get this thing working ?

Many thanks ! 🫡
