Ill have to see if the latest version plays on my puter. 

A new build is inbound that will supposedly help with load times.  It sounds like it will be here in the next week or so.  They'll be giving away 3 days of Premium time to anyone who logs in with the 0.5.5 build by May 10th.

Cool, thanks for the info!

One thing to consider for players who haven't logged in recently.  One of the recent patches completely changed the Captain skill point tree.  So you'll need to go back and reallocate the points for each Capt.  Alas, the skill tree reboot effectively nerfed the light cruisers' range, ROF and turret traverse buffs.

They have a full Russian cruiser and destroyer line now.

Does that mean I can actually bully Lost into divisioning up with me if I get off my ass and play boats?

[Donward]

I played the Royal Navy last night.

 

 

 

[Toxn]

Thought of playing ships again, saw 4 gig update, went outside instead.

[Jeeps_Guns_Tanks]

I've been playing a bit.  Trying Webiums mod pack.  It's fun, but the battles take so much longer than tanks!

[Meplat]

Bought the Aurora.

 

I rather like it, contrary to what I was told.

 

And y'know, we need a C-Boo clan in boats.

 

Just saying, since I am basically An heroing all the time.

[Donward]

And got my Mastery in the Royal Navy.

 

[Meplat]

Bought the Texas.

It has the wrong flag, needs the proper "Republic Of Texas" flag.

 

Also, needs a smoker on the fantail.

[Jeeps_Guns_Tanks]

Is there a reason to get the Texas when you have the T5 Arkansas beta?4

Because reasons... (no really)

FWIW: Arkansas is a T4, not a T5.

The Texas supposedly has better AA in the game than its sister ship, the New York.

A couple of days ago, I finally broke down and bought some more doubloons in order to buy four more port slots.  Alas, WG just announced a sale for 10 port slots for barely more than what I paid for the doubloons .  Poor timing on my part, as I can't justify paying for 10 more slots.  There simply aren't enough ships that I like to fill them.  I was really hoping that they'd gift a low tier premium ship for WG's anniversary, preferably one from the Russian tech tree.

The Russian cruiser line is kind of disappointing up through Tier 4.  They are way too fragile.  You really have to upgrade the modules as fast as you can in order to make them playable.  I suspect your best bet is to use the Novik to train your captains into Level 4 skills before ever assigning them to the Bogatyr and the Svietlana.  They really need the range boost for their 130mm guns in order to keep them out of reach of enemy ships.  The Svietlana can be chased down by just about any ship at Tier 4 or 5.  So you need to start damaging them as quickly and as far away as you can.

I'm having a weird losing streak lately.  While I have racked up multiple Kraken Unleashed awards, my teams have melted around me.  I guess that is the curse of low tier matches.

 

[Belesarius]

I haven't played boats in a really long time.  I need to update and see what is going on at least.

 

If they every get around to adding the Alaska and/or Lexington class BCs, someone let me know.

[Jeeps_Guns_Tanks]

Yeah I haven't played in months either. I'll probably be on ts tonight

[D.E. Watters]

My poor Svietlana is such an unlucky ship.  I can't seem to find a decent team in it...loss after loss.  It isn't a ship with which you can carry your team like the Kuma or Phoenix. 

However, I finally ground my way through it, and got the Kirov.  It is a totally different game style than the early gunboat cruisers.  The Kirov plays more like an Aoba or the buffed Furutaka.

Speaking of the Furutaka, I finally bought it back.  The new "C" hull turns it into a baby Aoba.  It is so much better than when I originally tried the pre-buff version.

I find your use of Weeb ships, disturbing.

I play all of the national lines.  My preference runs towards cruisers, followed by destroyers.  Battleships are dull to play, and aircraft carriers are annoying.
