He died, so I guess he detonated. As awesome as the Spee's guns are, that is a pretty lucky shot. I'm not surprised you did a lot of damage but isn't her max Cit damage below 10,000? Well played though!

Been a while since I posted anything, so here are a few games in (mostly) chronological order. First up: Been learning How to BB and am loving the KGV. The teams? Not as much. Soviet BBs are totally balanced in every single way. (This was my 9th Kraken -- but only the third or fourth in a win.) Sinop is not OP in my hands, however, though I did have this game with Ronnie last night (a night where we won a bunch and had some good laughs -- super fun time!) And, finally, I got me an Atago B outright because lol fuck loot crates. This was the first game in it and I WOULD LIKE ALL OF THE RIBBONS PLEASE AND THANK YOU! (Honestly. This...this is gonna be a fave.) Also: MM was quite kind to us last night, tbh. Again, thanks to Ronnie for an awesome night of shootboats. It was a good time for sure! We had a pretty decent amount of wins too!

Finally had a good game in the Vlad. Nice accurate guns and tanky, even manuvers pretty good. I fought off the C flank and circled around to catch the reds as they sailed towards my comrads. The enemy Vlad gave me his full broadside making it an easy kill. In other news I saw some serious potatoes today. One guy whined about getting one torpedoe launched at him. The team had to explain to him that that was one of the perks of the British line... In another battle I was in my Halland, and the Mino next to me kept telling me to set a smoke screen. I tried to explain I don't have smoke and he should smoke himself up. Guess he was a radar mino becuase he still yelled at me to set smoke then left me on my own "becuase I was doing nothing". Gotta love that huh.

Gotta love that huh. The quantity of potatoes is tremendous right now. I've been having a tough go forcing through wins, and I've had a few situations in the past week where I did everything I could and still lost. Games where I've killed 2 DD's and 2 cruisers and did 170,000 dmg and finally got taken down, then we lose. Its frustrating sometimes but temporary. The wins ratio goes in sprees I find.

So your team has a bunch of players that ranked first in ranked battles so you'd think that would mean you're gonna win right? Wrong, possibly the worst loss of the day. Here I was the top tier BB jus doing some clubbin'. Fun battle! Last but not least, my Santa box purchase has been paying off thanks to all the flags and camo, have plenty more to grind the Sovetsky Soyuz! KIna like a little xmas present to myself.

Roma is one of my favourite BB's in the game. 11.9km detection range on a BB is absurd and her ninja gameplay is tremendous fun, even if her guns are a bit wonky. Despite my best efforts we lost. I sent a message to the Akizuki after the game congratulating him on his monster game, since he single-handedly won it for his team. I spent the game flanking ships, firing at targets of opportunity and going dark, changing position. I forced a few ships to turn broadside to our team with big damage salvos and they melted under combined fire. Roma is hilariously stealthy, and left to her own devices she can be a tremendous danger to heavily armoured ships and angled cruisers. There was a red CV in this game but he suicided in the first 4 minutes.

So first I had a super awesome Mino game. The Zao and I changed the coarse of this battle, shout out to the CV for spotting the Smalland. In this battle everyone was focused on the edge of the map and I sailed to the other side of the island and torped the shit out of them. Got a BB and the DD in a double strike! I can hear them crying for torpedo nerfs now. All in all I'm okay with the dang switch up. My GK is still gonna have a survival build though. The Mino had the skills they gave me some other ships are getting different stuff. The whole no right click to move captains to other ships is complete bullshit.

So, Strausburg is an up-armoured Dunkerque. Dunkerque happens to be one of my favourite BB's. Thanks Yurei! Her guns are small calibre, 330mm, so she has very little overmatch potential. Many people make the mistake of trying to play her and Dunkerque bow on, but they truly shine when you abuse their rudder shift and decent top speed. Keep moving, keep your eyes on the minimap. If you can, flank at every opportunity. Strausburg has Main Battery Reload Booster, so if you catch a ship out of position or broadside you can do frightening amounts of damage very quickly. Despite their low calibre, her guns have very good pen, so make good use of it by putting enemy ships in bad positions.

I think I finally found my sweet spot for the GK. Trick was ditching the stupid Legendary mod. I made a secondary build and then put on fire fighting and consealment expert. It needs to be ninja becuase once everybody sees it they give me everything they got. MY team usually does nothing to help too. They'll just let a DD or Smolensk in smoke burn me into the sea. This battle was nice though. Showed a Pommern who's boss, and finished off the two CAs that tried to support him.

After a few attempts in the Saipan I said "fuck it" and bought the Lexington. Not the best game but definitely not my worst. I will get better and keep trying with the Saipan. Didn't finish on the bottom!

Divved up with my clan in this one. Finally getting along with a few of them. Ended up having a good game even though the xninja guy was talking shit on me for running from a Cleveland. I knew he would just hide behind an island and burn me in to the sea. Told him to eat shit. It looked like we were gonna lose for a minute but smart play turned the tables. Mass always brings a smile to my face.

Final Sov. Soyuz game. The Fletcher tried hard to keep his cap. I didn't want to just bail on him so I basicly fought off the flank myself as the other BB and CA just bailed. Fletch did hold em off for a minute but it was mostly shoot and retreat. Did my best to put some hurt on them. Also turned off game chat, enjoy the game more now. If anyone wants to hate on me I'll never see it, fuck em anyways. And after a month or so grinding with a two week break in the middle here's the bias bote, Mighty Kremlin! Wish I could show you all a super awesome first game but it felt like rng was just trolling me. One cit and a bunch of bouncy fragmented rounds with like 49k dmg. Finished bottom! yay! oh well, gonna work on the Lexington. Still got some camos and flags from my Santa crates so that'll help.
