So....the next Belfast/Conqueror now that she's gotten both 20km DW torps and separate smoke with TRB. Cool.

Please yes, it'll be OP as fuck, except in those cases where there's hardly any BB's lol

As for the BBs camping, it's literally 3min40s into the game. You can't expect them to be into the enemy cap at this point of the game.

You'd be surprised how many dumbasses in the game still get hit hit by multiple torpedoes spotted long before by someone or something else. It's just I hold a very low opinion of a lot of players out there as they fall for the stupidest shit and fail to take proper action.

I find Flamu crying and rambling amusing.

Further changes.

Mouse just posted a preview of Honour Student as she stands right now.

@Keyan_TTK It's been a while since we had a ship this polarizing. Some scream it's OP, some say the ship is completely useless. I think part of the "useless" accusation is a desire to have the old IJN DDs and pre-nerf IJN torpedoes back so that we return to this era.

LWM's Asashio Review.
Just like the eternal war between cats and dogs, may it flare up even higher between Destroyers and Battleships.

Its neither. Its a balanced ship with a bad mechanic.

Gamers are obsessed with the tterm "unbalanced", but a simply unfun or poorly relational game mechanic is far worse for a game's design.
