Thanks for sharing your look at the Gun Build on the Neustrashimy. I always saw her as a Torpedo build only, as she does it quite well. As you stated in the video, Neustrashimy is versatile enough that you can make a variety of builds and tactics both benefit situations but also change and dictate how others will react to her.

@Destroyer_KuroshioKai, do you have a favorite build for her yet? Is there a build you would recommend as the most "user-friendly?"

Hey Captains,

This is always a great topic to bring up in regards to captain's skills. I almost always recommend CE as your first tier 4 captain skill because you want to be able to have the opportunity to break contact and this helps. The Soviet BBs are a little different in that they do have the limited DCP uses, so I would tend to agree and take FP first as you grind up. I think this also depends on how far along with the captain you are, if it is your first tier 4 captain skill you honestly can't go wrong either way, but FP might be the better choice based on the Soviet BB playstyle.

Feel free to check out this guide I wrote up and see if it has some information that can help you =). Good luck with the Sinop, the ship is a blast to play!

You should understand that tech core of the game is improving from version to version. WoWs 2017 and WoWs 2019 are totally different games. But wrapper is not a solution with guaranteed quality. It is updating much more rare than the game. This is why we need player's' support to improve this quality.

@awesomeartichokes, compensations/rewards should be sent very soon

Hey Captains,

Thank you to everyone that came out and joined us on the Yorktown! We had a great time interacting with you, discussing World of Warships and seeing Patriot's Point! As Fem has said, we will get the pictures up from the event tomorrow!

The Community Team looks forward to seeing everyone at the Haida/Little Rock as the next stops on the AAT!

Awesome picture and glad you had a great time!

Hey GunnyShark,

The humidity was a new experience for this Cali raised kid =). We thank you all for the southern hospitality. These events are not necessarily about game experience, but more about meeting your fellow captains and getting a chance to see these awesome museums!

Thanks for these suggestions, and yes we of course do care. We've all had games where we've felt let down by other members of the team whether it was poor play or inexperience but ideally this should be more the exception than the rule. While the game can put in a number of mechanics to address spawning, matchmaker, etc... there is always going to be a player skill element which remains a bit more challenging to compensate for.

Selecting spawn points would definitely shake up some battles before but may present a lot of concerns like "What if all the DDs spawn up north and all the AA ships in the south?" or "What if a player doesn't know where they want to spawn?" It would create a little more strategy but in the current system everyone is on a level playing field in terms of that control.

The seniority idea is also pretty interesting but remember a lot more battles doesn't necessarily mean a player is more experienced and good at the game. Someon...

Update 0.8.7 will include the second part of the French destroyers event. It will be represented by one stage of the four directives.

For completing the tasks of the directives and taking places in the hall of fame of the event, you will get various ingame items, containers "Legion of Honour" and a new temporary resource -Gallic token.

The containers will reward players with elements of the new French collection and a chance to get a combat mission on one of the premium French ships: De Grasse, Aigle, Gascogne, Le Terrible.


A new collection dedicated to the French navy consisting of 4 parts is coming. For completing the sub-collections, you will be able to gain a second flag and alternative camouflage color scheme for French battleships and cruisers. For completing the whole collection, you will be able to mount a second flag and alternative camouflage color scheme for the French destroyers.

Gallic toke...

It is predominantly a random pick based on who signs up via the survey. If I was picking from the player base at large not everyone would would want to be a participant - that is why we have sign ups!

In regards to discord, voice coms are completely optional. It’s the text channels we use and need our participants to pay attention to.

Fem,

@Beausabre, the third locks would likely not have been ready well into the '50s. After the war, there was not likely that there would be any major benefits to enlarging/adding to the canal zone at the time. I did find an article that spoke specifically of enlarging the Panama Canal for US BB's. http://www.czimages.com/CZMemories/thirdlocks/tcindex.htm

Other than the next step in post WW 2 CV's, what else would they have that was that large?
