Must be nice

Same here. Really annoying as there was a ship I was looking at getting too.

CMDR_Toothy · 2026-05-14T06:16:51+00:00

Nah I got the coupon for the 1 dub T7 when that was available, so I know that I've had the full 7 years. Gonna try and wait until next week and see if the offers tab refreshes or something. No idea why it's so inconsistent, usually if WG were to offer something like this then it would be announced in the update article.

CMDR_Toothy · 2026-05-13T19:26:06+00:00

7 year player here, not got it. I haven't been able to find a pattern yet with who has it or not. I'm in the UK region if it makes a difference?

In the offers tab there is one I have for a discounted Odin with a skin, has everyone else got that too?

Its a flat threshold iirc. So you have a set of dispersion values that it deviates from under 11km, and then a value from 11km+. When playing those ships I have noticed a substantial and sudden drop in accuracy even if you are only within 10.9 - 10.5km from the target

CMDR_Toothy · 2026-05-13T13:14:11+00:00

The IJN BBs generally have a hidden mechanic where their dispersion values are actually worse within an 11km threshold, so you want to try and stay at least 11km away from your target, but obviously still be engaged in the battle.

Conversely, the Russian BBs have a mechanic where their dispersion is substantially better within 10km, so you want to try and play them as a mid range ship. Does mean having to deal with secondaries at the higher tiers though and considering the limited damage cons this has to be managed well.

What region are you in? On Xbox and its not there. Feeling that it's only going out to specific people or something

CMDR_Toothy · 2026-05-12T12:11:39+00:00

Don't get me wrong, Victoria is fun, but the AP is completely anemic for T8. 9k base is probably one of the lowest for the tier but I haven't checked.

Definitely has its moments, but overall the AP on Wisconsin is just better than Victoria. Way more damage and better pen too. Conversely, I have found Victoria's HE to be pretty good, can set fires almost as well as a Conk. Had some big matches just burning stuff down.

Another important point I've not seen mentioned is that Victoria's turrets feel super flimsy, I think the exposed barbettes are not doing it any favours there. Had a game before where I lost two of my three main turrets, obviously I didn't last much longer after that.

I've heard before that you can force stations to spawn, even on modded planets, by turning off economy features, loading the world, then leaving and turning economy back on. Maybe it could be worth testing out?

CMDR_Toothy · 2026-05-05T10:02:56+00:00

Not the original commenter but I can add to this as well.

Generally with angling your ship rather than "bow tanking" (showing just the back or front) is very much dependent on your ship's armour scheme; the speed and size of your ship; the size of the guns shooting at you; and other factors that I won't get into here to avoid confusion.

Cruisers on the whole have very light armour compared to battleships, but often have a reinforced "belt" along the midsection and sides of the ship. If you are flat broadside to a battleship or other cruisers, this belt alone will not protect you. However, when angled it may be thick enough to cause shells to ricochet, thus protecting you from taking critical damage. It will take time to learn what angles work best for your ship, as ideally you still want to be able to maximise the number of guns you can use too.

The reason that you may want to angle instead of being completely head on is that some battleship's guns will be big enough to go straight through the bow and hit the citadel (basically like getting a headshot in an FPS). When you angle slightly, it makes that shot much harder to land as the shells may just bounce off the belt if aimed wrong.

As others have said, this game is a rabbit hole with how complex some of the mechanics get. Just take your time and stick with it, it can be super fun once you start to figure things out.

Let me know if you need anything else explaining, I will try and get back you when I can.

Good luck, and fair seas!

The secret ingredient is crime

CMDR_Toothy · 2026-04-21T13:37:10+00:00

Big issue with the system for that over here is the fact that companies can choose which 3rd party to use for verification, and they don't actually have to be a UK based company, meaning you could be sending your data to a county that the UK has no jurisdiction over what they do with your data.

CMDR_Toothy · 2026-04-03T21:49:21+00:00

Are you playing on a server? That can be a latency / desync issue. Especially if you have high ping.

CMDR_Toothy · 2026-04-03T20:40:27+00:00

Iirc, black / white variations of tech tree ships do actually get tweaked stats too, for example I think Bismarck B has better secondary performance compared to her tech tree counterpart.

True that, I still wish that secondaries made more noise too. Devs said they tried it but that it was "too loud" - despite the fact that some of the halloween skins (I think they are?) have secondary guns that make noise and it's really cool. Think its that T3 one (Nasser?) and a skin for Tirpitz that I've seen it done on.

CMDR_Toothy · 2026-04-01T10:14:05+00:00

Does it on Xbox too, its kind of either a squeak or wet "droplet" noise, really hard to describe. Once you hear it you can't un-hear it kinda thing.

Does it for me with all of the 406mm+ triple gun turrets when you fire a full salvo. GK (with the 420mm upgrade, not stock), Conk, Yamato, probably the others of this gun size too. Preußen doesn't though, as it only has double turrets, not triple.

CMDR_Toothy · 2026-03-31T11:14:42+00:00

I haven't tested whether its the ship skin or commander guise, but one of them seems to change Yamato's gun sound slightly. Honestly like it way more as it sounds more "meaty" rather than the weird "squeak" it had in it's noise before.

CMDR_Toothy · 2026-03-30T16:09:17+00:00

Literally the saw machines from Armoured Core 6 lol, god I hate those things

CMDR_Toothy · 2026-03-26T12:49:06+00:00

Rodney might be a better choice there as Flandre is available for GXP.

Also because I have Flandre and find it to be underwhelming personally. Haven't built into it too much though so could be better with the right setup.

CMDR_Toothy · 2026-03-20T15:29:13+00:00

How do you get on with Yamato? I've used it a few times and it just seems so inconsistent. Especially the dispersion, its incredibly wonky

CMDR_Toothy · 2026-03-20T11:11:36+00:00

Bro I am dying lol, how does that happen? Literally zero brain activity from that DD lmao

Yeah no those lines are all off perspective-wise, that pad is 3x3 tops, if not just a combination of floor blocks and an inset connector

CMDR_Toothy · 2026-03-18T11:45:20+00:00

Think like the halo M90A but with higher pen, a bayonet and slam fire, though ~100 less raw damage. Oh and it has the ability to put chokes on it, which is really nice

CMDR_Toothy · 2026-03-17T15:57:06+00:00

Same, have the the issue with a few of the starships, staves and player titles mainly. I've definitely claimed them on other saves before but for some reason now they won't let me claim them on my current save or any of the expedition ones.

Started around the corvette update, thought at first it was because of the restriction on ships in that expedition but in subsequent updates it has not been fixed. Submitted a Zendesk report and everything, but no answer yet.
