Remember, Capt skill rework goes live with tonight's update.

I'm just going to wing it and see. I dont have much time for the game for the next little bit. I missed earning the Strausburg for free, which sucks, but it is what it is.

I'm curious how this skill rework will turn out, I dont know if it will be the end of times quite like the latest Tanks update was.

There wasn't really a guide. Tomorrow the official website is supposed to drop a "reset all captains" button.

Well I haven't actually played yet but on a few of my 19 pointers it gave me an undistributed point.

Also my captains seem to fall in line with the "suggested skills" alrrady so it seems like I don't have "alot of work to do".

It did basicly sey my captains up beforhand.

Just noticed my GK capt got 2 extra points!

Nah, I see now, just 2 unused points.

What's the point of the pyrotechnic skill? Why waste 1 or 2 skill points on a lousy 1% fire chance increase? Might as well mount a flag!

Also it's not so easy to move a captain. You used to be able to right click then select a ship. Can't do that anymore. You gotta find the ship you wanna move him to, which is time consuming when you have 75 ships and the ship you want is on the end of the line. I was gonna keep my Oster but I don't see the point now. The faptain I had for him is gonna ve just for my Freis.

Is there still a fee for moving captains around?

Can a captain still go from a cruiser to a battleship?

Yeah, Pyrotechnition is a shit skill, not worth investing 2 points in.

Personally I like the fact that important skills are expensive and you can't spec for everything on one commander. I find the new system really made me choose what playstyle I wanted to have in my ship. The free respecs make it easy to test out what you want without a true commitment, and I can now choose a full load of skills, see what it does for performance on my ship, without actually confirming the changes. Before once you pressed the butfon on the skill, thats it, its locked in. You had to pay gold to change it.

Some things are wonky, some skills seem useless, but all in all I think I like some of the ways some of the new skills seem to synergise. Plus it adds an element of uncertainty to the matches. You dont know if that BB has a survivability build, or a dead eye build, or an AA build. Maybe its a jumble. People are figuring out what works for their own particular playstyle.

I'm actually enjoying the new systems, personally. I thought it would be absolutelg game breakingly bad from everything I read while I was away at work. This isn't even remotely close to being as bad as the recent WoT console update. Not even close.

Dismissed some 10 pt captains last night and paid the gold to keep their xp and got my first 21 pt captain. He's a 21ptr in a Gearing, Mass. Saipan, and Alaska or Wichita. Really wish I had an Enterprise instead of a Saipan. I might actually play CVs more now since I can put a skilled captain in them. Elite Captain xp stacks up like it used to with a 21 pt captain too. Got a fast torp/radio location/ consealment build on the Gearing right now. Really liking how it's working so far.
