Re: World of Warships

See, I was trying to point out that if you boil down the value of something to arbitrary, sweeping qualifications of good/bad, you can easily draw whatever specious conclusion you want. Secondarily, that I value overall contribution to a community over toxic assholery justified by "gud stats&qu...

Just saying.

More to the point, I watch/listen to CCs as much to be entertained as to be educated, which is one reason is about Flamu and people like LemmingRush like the plague.

Re: World of Warships

I found Okhotnik to be an insanely fun trollboat, but you will really want 14pt captain at least for AFT to be able to shoot to 11km. I haven't played my Gremy in AGES so I only have a 10-pointer still. I could spec the captain that came with the ship with AFT, but from first look at the spec I alr...

Re: World of Warships

Decided to get 5 medium boxes, ended up with 15 Ourboros and 15 Red Dragon flags, 15 Frosty Fir camos, the Okhotnik (+ commander) and 1000 gold. Not too bad.

Ah, fair point. I just manage the permissions of the launcher so it's only open and doing anything when I'm not - by default it's background download tendencies are fucking annoying.

You can still play using the new WG launcher and your existing account. Integrating with Steam seemed to me like to much bother to be worthwhile.

Oh, she's a good 'un. And more importantly, fun to play
Notser says she's his favorite tier V BB by some margin, which is pretty high praise from a DD player.

Re: World of Tanks (new thread)

I decided not to alienate all my loved ones to grind up to the 183, though it somewhat pains me not to, sixne I've been aspiring to the Deathstar forever.

On the big x5 weekend, I unlocked and bought the Ikv 90 B and the Centurion 7/1, which was dandy.

Re: World of Warships

If you have or have played the New York, it's basically that ship with better gun angle on the centre turret (so you don't have to expose as much broadside to fire), with AA guns covering every available flat surface. They're talking about rebalancing AA and aircraft to make carriers more effective ...

Re: World of Warships

Texas donations have topped $100k!

I bought the flag and a ten-pack of emblems. Given how long the New York has languished in my port, I would litterally never play the Texas if I bought it.

Also, on NA, there's a 180-day premium account plus 3000 gold on for 40% off.

WoT is also doing tank emblems for $4-$8 if you want to pitch in that way. No WoWP promotions, but then their servers are still almost dead anyway.

Anyone been playing the new Halloween event? It's batshit on a sandwich hard compared to the first one, albeit still doable, especially if your BBs and CV have some clue what they're doing. I got 4 stars pretty quickly but haven't had the time to go back and grind for that 5th. Got something like 15...
