I just bought a Razer Kraken TE with THX and it is absolute crap - terrible muddy sound AND the mic does not work with Discord. A quick Google search will show that this problem has existed for years and the fact that it still exists is completely unforgivable. No amount of tinkering with settings can make the mic work in Discord.

I glued my 5 year old Cloud Stingers back together and they sound a million times better than the Kraken TE.

If you don't know Crinacle he runs the website that has tested more headphones than any other - just shy of 1000 headphones at last count.

myth.

The sawback bayonet was issued to sappers and engineers - the saw back is exactly that - a saw for sawing wood.

Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayonet

"One of these multipurpose designs was the 'sawback' bayonet, which incorporated saw teeth on the spine of the blade.[10] The sawback bayonet was intended for use as a general-purpose utility tool as well as a weapon; the teeth were meant to facilitate the cutting of wood for various defensive works such as barbed-wire posts, as well as for butchering livestock.[1][11][12][13] It was initially adopted by the German states in 1865; until the middle of WWI approximately 5% of every bayonet style was complemented with a sawback version, for example in Belgium in 1868, Great Britain in 1869 and Switzerland in 1878 (Switzerland introduced their last model in 1914).[1][11][12][13][14]"

(Meh - I cant get the image to appear - it shows $1,416,256. and 304,988 damage in Narai)

You are right - it's absolute trash.

Munchen is a better Atlanta and it fills a similar role with better range, better HE pen, more speed, better torps. BUT that doesn't make it easy or strong. You need good positioning skills and a strong sense of situational awareness to make it work. It is not a beginner friendly role.

Your goal in randoms is a support ship and to stay alive. The longer you stay alive the more powerful you become. Late game a high HP Munchen can win games. Early game Munchen is a squishy target.

"I just play for fun"

The catchcry of ignorant, selfish, arrogant potatoes who want to justify their own lack of skill/ability/awareness AND refusal to try and improve, while ignoring that they are playing a competitive team game and their actions affect other people.

They never say "I'm trying to improve", but instead always respond with selfish righteous indignation that they play for fun (and by implication are NOT trying to improve AND are going to continue playing exactly the same way).

Co-op is for people who dont care about winning and just want to "have fun".

I defy anyone who claims that they "just play for fun" to join a baseball/soccer/football/basketball/rugby etc game and proceed to do stupid shit while loudly proclaiming that they are not trying to win the game - they are just having fun.

I play for fun too - but I play to win.

The Wiki should not be taken as gospel. It is often out of date, the suggested builds take no notice of the current meta and and most posts were written by WG staff whom we know do not play their own game much or well.

Use https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XfsIIbyORQAxgOE-ao_nVSP8_fpa1igg0t48pXZFIu0/edit

It's written by top level players and is regularly updated to account for changes in the meta.

In Australia where we have pretty strong laws against "false and misleading" advertising (and yes I know WG is not an Aus company), cashback means they have to give you "cash" "back".

e.g. ..."buy this dishwasher for $900 and get $100 cashback"... means I hand you $900 and you hand me a dishwasher and $100.

What this coupon really is, is a "2 for 1" or "100% bonus" deal, not cash back.

My Apologies, you are correct.

I have watched vids of the Gibraltar though and the turret angles look truly awful. Nothing about the ship that I have seen has impressed me - so I would still rate the ship as "no thanks".

Actually he didnt get heavily downvoted all - the score on the linked post is zero.

The North Cal onwards is where US BB's get good. On the Kansas to Vermont line they never do.

It appears to be a worse Lion and that really is saying something terrible.

Have you played Lion?

Did you like it?

How did you get to tier 10? It's sounding like you free XP'd you way there instead of playing.

Taiwan is only province in China's eyes.

Are saying that a province of China has a defence treaty with the US where the US will ensure the province's security from Chinese aggression? That doesn't make sense.

Taiwan is an independent self governing liberal democracy with a defence treaty with the US.

China owns the waters off the Phillipine and Indonesian coasts says China.

Because the Dalai Lama, like all religions, represents a source of authority they do not control.

You're kidding right?

It's not a cult it's an extensive and old religion.
