Unfortunately, it is hard to play as a team with a bunch of random strangers... hence the name Random Battle.

I do have to agree. When I've elected to defend CV's against DD's and AC, I find that even though I've blown up to 27 AC out of the sky and sank opportunist DD's, my CV sinks nothing, and we're the last 2 afloat against 5 enemy ships. This has happened so many times, that I now sail as escort to the BB's and give them support against DD and AC, this seems to work better overall...

Problem is that they have been working some time on russian CL line.

The Royal Navy requires loads of work ... while single ships (chinese, polish...) dont take that much work.

 

Fair comment. Just one RN warship wouldn't have taken any more development than the also ran navy ships. On a historical point, I didn't recall any Russian Navy support for the Arctic Convoys to Murmansk either...

Well done. It looks like my gunners need to up their game to match your crew. I think most American CV's, once fully up spec'd, make excellent flak ships..

Let me start by saying how much I like playing WoWS. I started late into the Beta by buying my command with a Sims. Not being the youngest kid on the block (more like the oldest), or a "Pinball Wizard" on the keys was not my style of play. I found the game needed more thought in planning ahead, more like a game of chess. Sure you could steam alone, full speed ahead down the centre of the map, and get blown out off the water PDQ. I tend to play the team game, with my DD, scout ahead of the flotilla and try not to get sunk. With my CC's I try to protect my BB's from sneak attacks by DD's and my CV's from AC's with Flak cover. Whilst in the "Flack" role I used to think, "Why are my AAA gunners so crap at shooting down AC's". Time to read up on secondary gunnery use, and then the penny dropped. If you don't tell your gunners what to shoot at, they'll just "scatter gun" the sky and get lucky shots. Now that I've found the CTRL point at target press LMB buttons, no CV under my watch has been sunk. On one occasion, my Cleveland gunners downed 15 planes. A lesson learned, read tactics first and be a credit to your team mates. 

For me not having the best eyesight in the world, clear vision and no fog mods make all the difference to me. Many thanks...

A good mod for colour blind sailors then...

Really, eh?

Silly of Wargaming to not have included them sooner then.

You said it. How the hell we've got "Chinese" ships in front of British ships blows my mind. What naval battles have the Chinese ever fought in of any merit. Answers on a postage stamp please.. Come to think of it, add Italian, and Vichy French.

I know they had a big navy, but if most of those ships were all the same class, then there's a problem still :) Hehe

Enough classes of warships to counter German, Italian and Vichy French Navy's

Royal Navy is next, I forgot if its DDs or CAs that are after the German BBs. there's posts on reddit linking to the RU talks, with months and orders of stuff.

Thanks for info, can't wait for my call up papers to arrive..

But are there enough ships to make a techtree? :(

Being as the Royal Navy had the largest navy in the world between WWI and WWII, I think there would be enough ships for 10 tech tree's. Ah, those were the days when Britain was Great.. Still, we do have 2 aircraft carriers being built to house our F35's...

Hello fellow Captains

As this is my first posting I would like to thank Aslain for making it simple to download mods for WoT and WoWS. No more download faffing about with files..

Back to topic. I wonder when WoWS is going to include a Royal Navy Tech Tree, yes I know we have Warspite as a premium ship. At sea, the Royal Navy, Canadian, Australian, New Zealand and free European Navy's  were all that stood in the way of a German United States of Europe. At the start of WWII, the Russians and Americans were not in the conflict on the Allied side. So let's have some great British warships, Hood, Prince of Wales, Belfast, Ajax, Exeter, Prince of Wales, Ark Royal to name a few. All fine ships manned by heroes.
