This weekend, mixed results but I think overall, lost more than win because of the camping BB. Also, had a Kaga in one battle who just sailed his ship to a secluded edge while his bombers were all send to circle at I10 of the map the entire battle. His fighters somehow were chasing after incoming enemy planes. Damn strange. Still short of 3 badges to complete the Hunt for Bismark collection. I can easily fill them by using the duplicates though.

To soothe my frustrations, got this
.

Started mission 5 tasks. Expect to finish all missions by this weekend or sometime next week at the latest

Bah! Still full of campers this evening. See enemy, turn around. No pushers Played 8, lost 6. Time to log off

Consolation for the evening:

"The next rank season will probably be on tier 6."... Cleveland time!!!!

I'm sure we will see a lot of Gostan-king and Warspite too for BB. For CA/CL, Clevelands and Aobas will likely dominate (free ships ma). DD will be a mixed bag although I will root for Fubuki and Faggot to dominate, not counting Anshan. As for CV, The Ryujo is clearly the better choice compared with Independence

If I recall, that rank season then was open to T6-T7 unlike the recent rank seasons, locked to a particular tier. Nevertheless, I did well using Cleveland before so hopefully, can do well in her again.

I have not enjoyed the Graf Spee because she is handicapped with only 2 triple gun turrets that load slow. Heal is a plus but in a gun fight, DPM is more crucial. The Nukeberg used to be my fav ship. I used to dine on DDs whenever I played her. DPM is good but alas in ranked, she is too fragile.

Budyonny needs to be played like the gostan king as if the rear guns are there for show. Use them only when opportunity arise. Her DPM is good, with high fire chance from HE. But like the Nukeberg, she is very fragile. Not sure about USN BB as I've not played them

RM246.24

Thanks for the info. It's for the Blue Mermaid flag apparently

Back when T5 CV could still manual attack, I was okay with manual torps but sucked at manual DB. Fighter straffing lagi worse Alas, it's something I will need to improve on if I wanna play CV beyond T5. My Independence and Ryujo rusting in port without captain

Only thing about manual torp, don't release too close to the target as the torps won't have time to arm.

I actually banzai'ed a DD before with my CV. That bugger was beached and lucky for me, his shooting sucked. Anyway, did not get die hard because my HP was very low already, on fire and flooding some more.

Last weekend already kao tim but got money, port slot and a +1 Captain instead because already have the Bismarck. Now, just trying to do the undone tasks to get free signal flags.

EDIT : The two free camo from the missions not as good as premium camo, which has -10% repair cost

I was online too til about 10pm+. Was mainly playing Minotaur, "grinding hit enemy ships 5x with torps in cruiser" (need one more hit) and "be the first to spot 6 enemy ships in cruiser" (completed) tasks. In total, I think I played 6 battles only. Of the 6 battles, 3 of them MM'ed with camping/lemming train teams

Yesterday evening, played six, lost 6. Log off.

Today slight improvement, played 6, lost 4. Log off.

Problem with a lot of players, they turn around as soon as they are shot at by the enemy. When the front ships turns, the others tend to follow. Those who have played with me know my style, push, push, push. Alas, it sucks to be me pushing only to see on my mini map, the rest of my team patah balik. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr
