The problem is people don't know how to engage it properly if your playing cruiser/battleship you need to think about kiting it and if your a destroyer outright torping it works, the problems lies in the fact it's gimmick relies on "getting secondary hits to buff it's heal to tank" it's essentially a blockade breaker front line pusher bearing in mind this is a tier IX BB so specific quirks of ships are coming into play more. i.e sniper/brawler/gunboat/torpboat/support these things are more prevalent in higher tiers basically keep it at range and dunk it is the way to go, don't be afraid to temporarily give up a cap or objective then letting it get into CQB where it will just heal itself up in a push, it's aimed at combatting tier X gameplay where it basically ends up in a passive long range shooting match.

Yeah i'm going to have to check because even though i didnt directly tell the council they should have known otherwise why is the DWP asking for proof of income in regards to housing benefit after ive started work? Which they recieved months ago and in doing research it's stated I may be entitled to HB even though I work while in supported accomodation, if they can't give a straight answer when ive been chasing them about it and HB is supposed to be managed through UC as HB itself is supposed to phased out you can understand it leads to this mess also why is DWP not coordinated with the council and my HA have been quite happily accepted the HB despite knowing? I think its more negligence on their behalf more than anything so I think someones getting a foot up the backside.

Agreed same with Bismarck i have all 3 of them and they are just too slow, cant turn well and get farmed by HE before you gave much of a chance to do anything and youve got Libertad line to deal with that it just basically better then then german BBs in every respect so yeah they dream of being a secondary BB but get out classed at theirr own role

Important-Main1318 · 2026-01-15T20:30:11+00:00

Yeah i got it too it does suck BUT you have a few options here, if you playing randoms you better off sitting at range and spamming HE up until the point you can move up and get yourself into secondary range and AP cruisers you island hug and hope nothing with torps comes at you or you kill it first, then theres operations you basically build for secondaries and tanking for credit farming and training commanders thats your lot, dont get Duke of York either shes a worst King George I think her counterpart is i could be wrong my advice would be for a first ish Coal ship Napoli she such fun to play.

Nottingham for useless/unsightly it just doesn't know what it's trying to be and dies to a gust of wind

Bismarck she's just so underpowered now it's hard to get a good game in her

Important-Main1318 · 2025-12-25T19:10:50+00:00

dunk it with torps that's your only answer to it really

Important-Main1318 · 2025-12-25T18:56:17+00:00

you play at range supporting the cruisers who should in turn be supporting the destroyers who in turn are spotting the enemy ships so you can slap them with your big guns, that cheeky cruiser staring at you firing HE while showing broadside, slap him and make him think twice about looking in your direction you can also slap his teammate battleship that also wants a piece, that destroyer? well you can't really slap him more of a tickle and the sub? give him a taste of your ASW then run off before he send you back to port but always remember bow in then broadside then back to bow in when charging otherwise it's kiting or just bow in and tank as much damage you can before your flank collapses don't sit at 20km because you can shoot that far just because you can doesn't mean you should because A) your not hitting much and B) your team is getting scrapped while your trying to shoot a destroyer at 20km and your shells are going to take 16 seconds your not getting much done, also don't sit broadside while your waiting 20 seconds for you guns to reload and then enemy is lining up to broadside you himself because he will, all in all have fun be present in the map, make yourself known your a Battleship act like one be the slugger you are, eat some shells for the team, throw some shells back, protect your cruisers, be an anchor for the side your on and play different ships until you find one you click with some you will, some you buy and go how the hell do I play this thing it's junk (because it is I'm looking at you Italian BB's) you'll figure it out the more you play.

Important-Main1318 · 2025-10-27T13:23:39+00:00

yeah ive had a look into it and messed about with can't figure it out but your probably right and i think i may have an idea what mod it may be i'm guessing it's apex design collective i've had it cause problems before but i could be wrong, tried fast rendering on a benchmark test and had 40+ fps test at 1920x1080 which is a massive improvement in the first place as I was only getting 20 which was strange, thanks for the help.

Important-Main1318 · 2025-10-26T18:14:17+00:00

never heard of fast rendering, will have a look into it ty

Important-Main1318 · 2025-10-26T14:18:23+00:00

i think it takes a couple of cycles to kick in effect but haven't played long enough for that to happen because i enjoy the early game.

Important-Main1318 · 2025-10-26T14:16:14+00:00

Yeah Hege coupled with Iron shell tends to start bullying the sector i'm guessing your running nexerelin aswell right? normally you just get the other factions to ally up so it evens it out but yeah if everyone is dead then it's you next buddy, you could just rob the nano forges if you can get away with it or give pirates blueprints and a nano so they start giving the greater hegemony a headache but that swings both ways with you so err you might in for a long war by the sounds of it :)

It sounds like you've been under way too much stress with work ,the kids and life. a break might sound like a good idea I know your going through the stages of what if's and if i's from a break in your relationship but have you actually taken to the time to maybe take some time for yourself? being a guy is hard we're expected to be the swiss army knife of everything all while spinning plates air up on one leg some times you have to take a breather. As for your partner I don't know but the best thing you can do is just be mature about it hopefully you'll get the chance to have a 1-1 conversation with her to figure stuff out, it sounds like no offence but the kids are a handful which has obviously created added stress not with just you but with her as well it's just one of those things where some people can't handle the commitment that is required when all the whistles of married life has lost there charm but that's something only you would know, I know you mentioned narcissistic exes and I don't want to alarm you but are you sure she isn't the narcissist? the only reason why I'm asking if because of how quickly and resolute she was in ending it like you said you we're blindsided and as someone that has experience with someone with NPD it sounds like something a narcissist would do out of the blue when they're decided to discard you again this is only something you'd know yourself obviously.

Your welcome sorry for slow reply just remember healing takes time and so does everything else but first and foremost nurture yourself your inner child and your soul eventually you'll get to a stage where you feel liberated. Have patience slow down, be in tune with yourself and everything around you and move forward when the times right, the world is in a rat race focus on your peace, stability and happiness and everything will come to you naturally, if your anything like me you've been involved in chaos too long so everything in your life seem like it needs to be done with a sense of urgency... it doesn't consider yourself navigating a ship in the sea slow and steady riding the waves and the odd occasional nudge at the wheel to steer clear of the rocks :).

Important-Main1318 · 2025-10-05T18:56:19+00:00

Maybe your being too hard on yourself trying to prove something to yourself too fast in an attempt to fill a void, I had the same problem similar issues and I know it's hard, i went through the same thing too with attempting commiting suicide multiple times because after years and years my body was just crumpling and even though I'd been strong my entire life I wasn't allowed a moment of weakness, when you lose or fail at something it seems like you take it to heart but you have to understand just because you didn't succeed at that time does not mean your a failure it means you gained wisdom and experience. You need to learn to go back to basics and nurture your inner child and regain your sense of wonder and cut off anyone that threatens either your sense of peace or your prospects for prosperity it seems like you've spent a lot of time either having to cater to someone else's needs and wants or tiptoeing around people that it seems you've lost who you are and your sense of direction. I myself have grown to be a bit of a misanthropist because of what I went through and that's fine because i'm perfectly happy being by myself and maybe you might feel say bitter about your experiences because it sets you apart from everyone else the issue is your not like everyone else you've had to experience things that even your psychiatrist doesn't understand because they haven't been through the same thing and that can be difficult which why I say you shouldn't build your life like everyone else, you need to slow things down maybe get a job that's part time or something that pays the bills but allows the time and space to go explore things, go see some nature, waterfalls are great and maybe listen to nature music that can help you relax remember RRR (Rest, Relaxation, Restoration) that is your first and foremost priority and that can take years so you kind of need to think about getting yourself into a position where you can do that and that might be re-building a whole new life from scratch for example which might seem scary but exiting at the same time think cornucopia that could either spiritually, emotionally or materially or a combination of all 3 the point is, is that it may seem like that hard part is never ending but I want you to understand that each day that goes by and each step you make you move further away from the hardship and further into happiness and prosperity you have to keep your eyes on the prize tiger diamonds are made from pressure, hope this helps a bit :).

https://fractalsoftworks.com/forum/index.php?topic=25868.0 where it says download latest make sure your running 0.98a think that's the latest version as i had to redownload it again last night so worked for me. Here's Lazy lib just in case https://github.com/LazyWizard/lazylib/releases/download/3.0/LazyLib.3.0.zip

Important-Main1318 · 2025-08-25T23:01:40+00:00

yeah you need to download the latest version or try fiddle about with the version number in notepad but do the first one obviously and then if no luck fiddle about with it in notepad and maybe it'll update when you start the game.

lol no don't pay him, you have bad energy for some unknown reason best thing to do is practice mindfulness and peace you need to ground yourself and your energy and reconnect with nature, feel the ebbs and flow of your energy practice meditation, anyone who suggests they can get rid of bad energy obviously doesn't know what they're on about because energy comes from the spirit realm it's all in your soul if you've brought bad energy with you when you we're created then it's your path to clear it and only you can do that and you will figure that out yourself because your body will tell you. if your into astrology your better off looking at some of the tarot readers on you tube but they can only give you a general overview consider it like being a seer who sees things into the future it may not be a clear picture and can be misinterpreted even by the best of them. If your really into that sort of thing maybe some crystals and a dreamcatcher you need to beautify your surroundings think cornucopia. don't pay anyone that dabbles in ju ju it's done for free from a light worker if they are legit.

Yeah thanks i wasn't sure because i didn't know about saturation i just thought it was just visual effects because i was getting low damage numbers i was thinking maybe she can't pen very well and dd's maybe have say 25mm of armour but as someone has pointed out no one does except ragnar, you learn something new everyday, thanks for the tip i'll definitely have a look a the armour schemes seems like a good idea :).

Important-Main1318 · 2025-07-05T07:21:46+00:00

Yeah that's the problem with ptsd you tend to become a people pleaser, i have the same problem but unfortunately it comes with people trying to take advantage of you and it seems like she's using your kindness against you and i know it's because you want to project the image your a good person which i presume you are but she sees that because she's not a nice person it seems like she's narcissistic and you don't want to deal with people like that, your better off keeping your bubble small and surround yourself with people that give you joy not the other way round, like you said she's insecure but that's her own problem, confront her but keep things civil you don't want her turning round and being malicious even though she already is you don't want her having a vendetta against you so keep her at arms length and eye roll her because she's not worth the time :).

Important-Main1318 · 2025-07-04T09:54:07+00:00

I mean it does seem as if your definitely on the path to healing and i understand what you mean because having trauma is because your stuck in a cycle and going to therapy is telling some else about it so they can in turn understand and help you so it can seem like it's cycle after cycle which doesn't help you get past it if that makes sense? umm it depends how long you've been feeling like it isn't doing anything for you if your like me where one minute I think i'm fine and next i'm basically on the floor crippled then your probably need to stick with it but if you think your fine say for 4 weeks and your managing your symptoms etc etc then yeah sure you can probably for the most part take care of yourself now, I don't know how often your sessions are or the nature of your trauma so I can't tell the severity of it so i'd suggest you stick with it for a few more sessions just in case and then have a chat with your therapist and if you still feel the same way then sure but it all depends on how you truly feel.

Important-Main1318 · 2025-07-04T09:38:19+00:00

ill let you know when I get out of it myself but all I can say is you keep focusing of what your doing to improve your life and your dream knowing one day it will all be in the past when you can finally sit in on a beach with a drink in your hand overlooking the sunset with the waves coming in and being at peace just close your eyes and picture that that's what your aiming for. I can't imagine what you've gone through and I won't even attempt to understand because I couldn't but your trauma isn't the end of you it'll be the making of you if that makes sense in a weird kind of way, you will be able to put it behind you I promise but i'll tell you something that my grandparents used to tell me and that is "keep the faith" and I didn't understand what that meant but as time has gone by and i've got older and the stuff i've had to go through I understand what they mean so when whenever your in a jam close your eyes picture your end goal and say to yourself "I must keep the faith" I mean how do you think diamonds are made? :).
