Hey The_Massacrerer,
Kuznetsov would be my choice, he has good abilities and you can use him on multiple ships. The Murmansk is a decent premium but if you have an Omaha/Marblehead it plays the same (granted not Russian so there is that).
Let us know what ship(s) you try Kuznetsov on and how it goes. I personally put him on the Kremlin and he is happy =).
Hey Flint_The_Pirate,
When it comes to this in-game mission in particular you will/would receive credits if you already own the Texas. The details for this are in the article: https://worldofwarships.com/en/news/sales-and-events/july-missions-2019/
Feedback and play testing on the Public Test is greatly appreciated no matter what part of the NA server or world you participate from.
Regarding CV balancing and AA mechanics, we continue to look at the feedback and performance to determine the direction we need to go.
Thank you to everyone for taking part in PT 0.8.6 and look forward to continued participation in round 2 coming later this week!

Even as I want to see as many ships saved as museums as possible I do understand that many, even if they are older, still have a level of confidentiality.
We have a great many possible future museum ships, but we do need to balance security with our desire to preserve.
Public Test 0.8.6 Round 2 is slated for later this week, details will be published tomorrow.
Thanks for the heads up, I'll send this up for review.

When I first heard of WoWS, way back in Feb of 2014 at the WLGNA Season 3 finals, I was excited out of the box because of my love of naval history.
It has been a life long interest and passion. I would wager a great many were first "hooked" by the historical aspect. But had the game not been fun I and many would have faded away a long time ago.
As the game has continued to grow WoWS and WG has celebrated the real-life ships through visits, such as Let's Battle Tours in the past, and now the Anchors Away Tour.
So while history may have been why many came in, I can see how gameplay may have kept folks.
But I still get a kick every time I take out the Dreadnought, the Hood, the Haida, or even just the Fubuki.
The history makes the game just that much enjoyable.
Hey psychobinary,
One thing you have to remember is Savage Battles is a special in-game event. Ships go faster, torpedoes go faster and everything is sped up. One thing is the torpedo aiming reticle will show you are ready to fire but you have to make sure the torpedo launchers are also facing the right direction. You can see the torpedo launchers on the model of the ship swinging around to the right angle. In Savage Battles things happen so quickly so this might be something you are experiencing.
Hopefully this helps!
Hey SeddrikFrost,
Ranked Sprint is designed to be more casual than other in-game competitive events like Ranked or Clan Battles. The reason why the limit to a division of 2 is because the teams are smaller (6 team members) than normal games. Think of it this way, if you have a normal division of 3 ships in a match of 6 versus 6 that is 50% of the team. If you and your division is 50% of the team that is a lot of control over the game that the other team will have to match. With Ranked Sprint you do have to match up equally on both teams with divisions.
Team work is definitely important in the game but we want to make sure the balance is also fair in the match. the reason why you can division with 3 players in a random battle is because you have larger teams.
Glad you enjoyed Ranked Sprint and good luck in the next one!
Timing is key.
As a DD player, I have had my bacon saved in the mid to late game by perfectly timed fighter cover.
Seeing rocket planes heading in your direction after you are spotted in the mid-game creates some anxiety but suddenly having CAP overhead is a boost.
Hey Captains,
The Yamato is a ship that I have played a lot of battles in and still feels great! Yes, the Yamato has been in the game for years now, there are plenty of shiny new "cars" on the lot but the ol' girl keeps on kicking. The Yamato has a lot of advantages going for her but these are set off by some pretty steep advantages which can be magnified against a good opponent. Let us go over these real quick!
Strengths:
Largest guns in the game (460mm) and can overmatch 32mm armor.
Very resilient to taking damage with thick deck armor and turret armor.
Torpedo bulges that keep the Yamato from taking massive damage from individual torpedoes.
Very accurate at range with good dispersion (mostly).
Large health pool that is only surpassed by 2 other ships.
Arguably the one of the best unique upgrades in the game.
Weak...
Read moreHey Crimson_19,
I don't think the Mahan is underrated just maybe underused, there are just some ships that might do things better than her. The Mahan is a ship that if you play USN DDs well you can make work and be effective during a match. The Mahan does have some positives going for it like: the 3 sets of torpedo tubes, decent health pool and USN DD guns. What the Mahan doesn't have going for it is the large silhouette on a slow DD for its tier, which means you will take a lot of damage if you are not paying attention.
Congrats on ranking out in the Mahan!
The Battleship is a massive threat. Historically and in-game, they are seen as massive damage dealers with the ability to carry a match from most ranges depending on meta for each specific country and class.
They are also seen as giant, often slow, HP pinatas, for an aggressive cruiser, destroyer, and battleships to reap and smash.
Tanking or "Damage Sponging" is a great tactic and so far the suggestions in this thread have been educational and well said.
The key comes down to managing the damage you are taking vs the amount of HP and heals you have. Being able to be the "Fire Magnet" to better provide your team with the advantage.
So my question would be what ship do you find pulls this tactic off the best? As one who is not the best at BB's I have found the Nelsons "Super Heal" useful in pulling this off on occasion.
Hey KSN,
Ships that will be "rewards" for NTC will go through the same balancing process as other ships. The main difference is to earn these ships you will have to use the NTC instead of some other resource in the game like coal. You can keep an eye on the changes/progress of test ships by following the Developer's Blog.
Hey Spooky39,
You are not required at all to re-grind a line if you don't want to but you would if you want to use the NTC. This will be optional and only if you want to take advantage of some of the unique content that you can get, but by no means is it mandatory. There will not be any direct performance buffs in the NTC, so it will be up to you if you want to do the grind again for the resource that the NTC will provide.
Avenge_December_7,
Congrats on getting the Krasny Krym from a supercontainer. The Krasny is not that bad of a ship when you pair it with the correct captain skills. Krasny has a lot of guns and can take advantage of using AFT to get its range out to around 16km, but the shells do get quite floaty that far out. The Krasny holds it own in tier 6 matches but it becomes rough in tier 7 matches, making you have to take advantage of AFT if you can.
Good luck and give the Kransy a shot!
Hey BarneyStyle,
Contact support and they should be able to restore the ship to your account as long as you meet the conditions that you can find here: https://na.wargaming.net/support/en/products/wows/article/23024/
Please make sure you read this page and fill out the support ticket correctly =).
Hey Captains,
Sorry for the delay in discussing this today, I look forward to doing this tomorrow.
Please if you have any other ideas on this spawn arrangement and what you would do, let us know. Play close attention to the size of the map and the side of the map this is showing you spawned on.
Hey GSXstage1,
Nice job playing a ship that doesn't get much of the spotlight. The Abruzzi is an interesting ship with its gun layout and long range (slow) torpedoes. I believe the Abruzzi also has a heal if I am not mistaken? Congrats on reaching Rank 1!
Question for everyone else: Any ships that you ranked out with that you don't see a lot or feel might be underrated? This can be a combination of a couple of ships.
My choice would be the Ash*taka for underrated ships. I was playing with a friend the other night and he was like "try the Ash*taka", I laughed but then started having a lot of success with it.
