Mega Derpzki at 46 knots?

Except the ship they handed us is dated to 1917, and the 1907 class was under 1000 tonnes in displacement, so we're getting a VERY paper ship.


Yup. This is the ship it was IRL.

Edit: Might be an upgraded version of one of these. Same number of torpedo tubes, two extra guns would account for the boost in displacement.

6.0 for WoWS dropped today.

I'm still uneasy about RDF, but I definitely like the new direction they're going with Captains. There's a much wider variety of builds now, and it's easy to mix and match. I'm having to think much harder about potential Captain builds for each of my ships at the moment, and I like it.

Those 5 rear guns offend my OCD so much. Why do you need that many guns in a line?

Also premium HMS Furious BC when because 2 18 inch guns at tier V/VI is just going to be too stupid to pass up. Or this anywhere.

Lago is nuts good
Where must we go, we who wander this wasteland, in search for our better selves?
In Egypt's sandy silence, all alone,
Stands a gigantic Leg, which far off throws
The only shadow that the Desert knows:—
"I am great OZYMANDIAS," saith the stone,
"The King of Kings; this mighty City shows
"The wonders of my hand." The City's gone,
Nought but the Leg remaining to disclose
The site of this forgotten Babylon.

We wonder, and some Hunter may express
Wonder like ours, when thro' the wilderness
Where London stood, holding the Wolf in chace,
He meets some fragment huge, and stops to guess
What powerful but unrecorded race
Once dwelt in that annihilated place.

Let's face it... "muh balanse" was a joke the moment the Russian cruisers appeared.

I'm kinda bad with DDs, but at least I had good games on Isokaze. I can't manage to do anything on Mutsuki.

Mutsuki has always been kinda trash. Fubuki and Akatsuki aren't bad though.

So, I've started the French Lights line because muh Bat-Chat. Made it to the AMX ELC, or as I used to call it, the Motorised Griefing Wagon (a surprisingly close translation of ELC, if you think about it :P ).

I have a 0% survival rate because I am trash. Crew doesn't have SS, so I keep being spotted too late. Radio range is garbage tbh.

I have finally been knocked out because of having all my crew killed though! Though I only had 29hp before I took an O-Ni shot, so it doesn't make any difference.
I saw an O-Ni, saw a green next to it be killed, and thought the O-Ni killed it. I was very very wrong.

The patch notes lie when they talk of buffing the reval's accuracy. Shells now just shoot outside the circle instead of the circle actually being shit.

So, I love the AMX ELC after all that hating on it I used to make when I was starting out.

Ignore the fact that I've got maybe 12 survived matches in over 100 played (it seriously took me 37 matches to get one survival - I'm very aggressive and prone to suiscouting).
