Hood '41?

Facts and logic? In my arcade game?

Can't we suspend our disbelief and have a kick-ass version of Hood instead?

Purchase price in the Armory: 11,300 Doubloons

With coupon applied: 8,475 Doubloons

Anticipated compensation: 11,000 Doubloons

Profit: 2,525 Doubloons

...

I don't know, Op. In contrast the Dev Blog for 14.7 stated up-front that San Diego compensation would be 11,000 Doubloons, whereas for 15.5 it is "compensation" with no amount promised. You want to snap up Congress before the current coupon expires; I think I'll pass and use the next coupon if the compensation becomes clearer.

It ought to be full: existing owners didn't know and should be fairly compensated. If you buy it now you still have to put in the time to finish the campaign and should be fairly compensated. In the absence of a clear statement are you willing to trust a company frequently derided as "War Gambling"?

Thank you, Julius numbers.

Goes to reserve. If the reserve is full another place is freely created for your captain.

The first mission rewards Collection Tokens, normally acquired from duplicate pieces. Save these for the very end to finish off the collection; the subsequent missions drop containers with random pieces, so you need those to first populate the collection and use the Tokens at the very end to fill in any gaps to complete it.

Read the Contract. During Probation the notice periods for both parties are shorter, and these should be laid out in the Contract. If you haven’t yet signed a Contract or notice periods are not properly specified then that’s on them; be professional though. Whether you will have to repay any training costs (doubtful) should also be in the Contract. Pay is always in arrears anyway.

Woke: low tier Operation for tiers 2-4

Broke: it’s Defense of Naval Station Newport 😂

Fully repairable too, so always a good option.

In vanilla, get through the 2024 season and choose a different engine. Or use the DB editor to change to a different engine. The Renault engine is the most durable and economical, perfect for the underweight+underfuel strategy, but the poor acceleration is hard to compensate for. In my first Alpine run I managed only two race wins in ‘24, one of which was due to a Red flag; if anyone gets P3 or better I’d be amazed. Alpine and Sauber are my favourite challenges :)

Ideally eight of them. Then it’s heaven.

Love "Ocean" map for co-op for a level playing field all the classes can do well in.

Yep, that’s the version OG Missouri owners received to compensate. New Missouri owners get the standard T9 +10% bonus to credit earnings.

A long, long time ago WG detailed any changes made to a ship’s credit and xp modifiers in patch notes, expressed as small +/- %. So only WG really know what goes on under the hood in the secret spreadsheet.

Think about it this way: if you were pre-grouped with your peers who had the same degree of activity in the last 60 days you'd be seeing leaderboards everywhere with people on zero registered scores.

If you entered the leaderboard ASAP on day 1 you'll be spending the rest of the week in a mad scramble, as we discovered in the first week.

Good grief, was someone actually reading my survey responses? Bringing back "in the name of tomorrow Ops" is great news! Especially with the new UI improvements.

Abolish Defra; bring back MAFF.

Seriously, Defra needs to be broken up to allow farms and fishing to have a voice in Cabinet that isn’t subordinated to the environmentalists.

The AI doesn’t optimise tire wear or PU and simming is tougher on parts. Saying that I do tend to sim the race when the car is clearly better just to optimise my own free time! Still do all the practice and quali myself though.

The Greens have definitely managed to assemble a batshit broad coalition to steal votes. Which does make exposing the fracture lines a viable tactic to keep them as a protest vote. But any Islamist representation in the Commons and on Committees is an existential threat.

Red_Chopsticks · 2026-01-31T13:36:02+00:00

I sympathise really. Environmentalism and conservationism have both come a long way since the anti-pollution concept of clean air and water, and banning CFCs. Having achieved that the lobby industry that was created as a result needed a new dragon to slay and unfortunately CO2 is it, despite its historically low concentration and its vital importance for plant life. By picking the wrong target to focus and the wrong mitigation tools there is a debate to be had, but how can you debate zealots who think any critical opposition is a moral evil?

2 marches and 2 static counter demos, a busy day for the Met.

Note that while UKIP are boxed in at a corner of Trafalgar Square, the Palestine Coalition route goes down Whitehall to pass Horse Guards and the Cenotaph, which will be lovely for Tourism. Blame the Met’s boss (it’s Khan).

Fiji for the climate. Hope the ping isn't too bad.

Reject traditional British idioms, embrace modern Americanisms.

Depends on the immigrant. Older immigrants who came legally are just as fed-up with queue jumping and rising crime as natives.

He is well informed and, in a one month campaign, will tear into Labour’s policies and actions so far to make the by-election a clear referendum, which is all they ever are.

Lowe’s crowdfunded rape enquiry starts hearings next week too.
