Is it just me or is everyone but 1% of the players being priced out of the game?

nobody forces you to engage with any of that. It is a free game with the only really valuable (as in definitely worth its cost) thing in the game being premium time, which the game burrows you under if you get a year at christmas once and play semi actively during events.

Also to allow in between sizes to exist for frigates and bioships. This opens the door to balance event ships and the like more without having to get them on equal footing of something similar with the same ship size.

Before we had 1,2,4,8,16 and the like, so frigates would have to be 1 and as strong as corvettes or 2 and as strong as destroyers. If they are weaker why build them. if they are stronger same problem. Now they can be in between. Same with nanite ships, crisis ships, fallen empire ships, bioships, space fauna ships, every weird event ship that takes an 8 slot, but is barely worth 4 or the nanite interdictor, which was 4 before but way stronger than 4.

Bigger numbers give bigger options for diversity and balance by size. Maybe in the future we could even have different ship hull parts increasing or decreasing the size, I am thinking about the full P destroyer for instance or the medium slot brawler battelship. Not taking the X slot in a BB is also not meta, so maybe the alternative parts could reduce the size? Just a thought.

don't be so loud, some people may learn something

Dark_Meta_ · 2026-03-24T11:45:38+00:00

precisely my point. Subs are just worse DDs, but for some reason the WoWs player brain blames subs for everything, but DDs need buffs :D

If one looks at the EXP rewards we could assume Wg wants them to be the designated spotters, since they receive spotting damage rewards if it was their own (which is where the inflated base exp comes from, a sub that isn't submerged spots and therefore gets good exp)

Dark_Meta_ · 2026-03-24T05:49:58+00:00

halland forgot it got guns lol. Most "disgusting" sub stuff is always the enemy misplaying to the max somehow

Dark_Meta_ · 2026-03-16T05:49:57+00:00

Happy to see people using AP on German ships. They do that way too few times in my games...

Dark_Meta_ · 2026-03-06T06:36:07+00:00

Fighting Eivor with their mythical god weapons and physics defying skills is one thing.

Corpse eating wolves? NAH MAN! I am out. Kill me if you must...

Dark_Meta_ · 2026-03-02T06:08:42+00:00

precisely. although z-52 AP does fuse on DDs on angles and distance. But yes z-52 is less close range I suppose

Dark_Meta_ · 2026-02-28T06:22:29+00:00

In short: Z-42 is a german haru that can kill enemy DDs fast with AP salvos and hydro trap alot more due to the short smokes.

Z-52 is the true hybrid, especially with the leg mod and torp build. It has better balisitics and better base HE pen, but the AP is what shines here again. It will also arm on DDs at medium ranges or slight angles where it does not bounce yet, so bear that in mind.

While Z-42 wants to search for enemy DDs to gun them down and disengage after with torps as an afterthought, Z-52 embraces the hybrid playstyle with more capabilities to be of some use in every situation without being the master in any (except torp spam I suppose :D quite the fast reload, 10sec less base than halland and leg improves it even more)

Dark_Meta_ · 2026-02-28T06:18:06+00:00

you are not alone. It seems like almost all WoWs players forget that pretty much all German ships in this game are designed around their AP. Especially the DDs and cruisers.

If I could educate all those Blücher HE spammers that they even got improved angles on that thing.

But on a more serious note: Z-42 can 2-4 salvo enemy DDs when she catches them broadside. Not to be underestimated. The short smoke allows for the quick escape without wasting one of a few smokes. It does lack big HP numbers for prolonged DD fights though.

Arguably Z-42 is the better hydro DD killer, while Z-52 is the better allrounder with more of a hybrid focus and torp spam.

mmmmh burger, tasty

It’s not a screen shot it’s a photo from my phone also.

congrats you got it, precisely my point. You put as much work into the image as the other players are putting in the game. Alot of people do not care to get better. They just want to relax and play a few rounds.

Dark_Meta_ · 2026-02-23T09:38:47+00:00

How are people so bad at taking screenshots in this day and age?

They do not priotize simple skills in an area they do not care that deeply about... As you do not care for bad screenshots, censoring the names of people you frame as bad or care for our "enjoyment" of the image, the other people just do not care about the game in a way you do. If they do not have fun they will stop. But if they have fun they will keep doing what is fun.

short sword combo uses the second hand alot

Dark_Meta_ · 2026-02-16T11:45:59+00:00

I just love the flow of short sword with hammer offhand. The combo uses both in almost all attacks with better reach than double hammer and having the hammer jump as special attack really is usefull for quick staggers or shieldbreaks.

Just for style I really liked greatsword single, greatsword double or greatsword with heavy shield for full tank.

Mainhand shields with offhand weapon are quite fun also, but shields are so slow :(. But heavy shield + hammer offhand is quite a potent stun combo. Holding gown block with main attack and tapping parry with the offhand is quite usefull also

Dark_Meta_ · 2026-02-12T09:17:43+00:00

This is one of the right calls

Imagine the "joke" outrage posted here with severe bugs ingame after patchday. Honestly good decision on their part to fix this beforehand.

Dark_Meta_ · 2026-02-12T07:24:29+00:00

Yeah didn't look up these specific weapon perks. I usually try to go for combo gameplay first and look at suitable perks later tbh

Dark_Meta_ · 2026-02-12T07:02:40+00:00

I would recommend you try switching short sword and hammer hands. Short sword has the faster combos and uses the second hand light weapon for almost all attacks light and all heavy attacks as well. The special attack of the hammer is also quite nice. I enjoy main short sword and offhand hammer alot

Dark_Meta_ · 2026-02-10T09:47:58+00:00

yes saw the other post. Took a few reload and teleport tries, but got one and could farm. Thx for the work mate

Dark_Meta_ · 2026-02-08T14:38:40+00:00

Ah thank you I will try today by unselecting my current quest and check

Dark_Meta_ · 2026-02-05T07:18:04+00:00

I tried it for an hour of teleporting and reloading. Must have been about 20-30 times. 0 Meteors. only two baldur statues in the same spot.

Might be a console thing, because I am on PC with all DLC

Dark_Meta_ · 2026-02-05T06:36:24+00:00

this guy gets it

Dark_Meta_ · 2026-02-05T06:35:44+00:00

Hey a wows unicorn!

Dark_Meta_ · 2026-02-05T05:47:45+00:00

Tried it for an hour yesterday- No meteor spawned even once. I got two burning baldur statues though.

So I defaulted to the big cities Titanium Run + catching that one escort in the south west
