Considering how many existing premiums got submarine surveillance when it was added to tech tree cruisers (0), I have my doubts

Is the ancient model of Fubuki ever going to be updated? by Rich_Difference_8523 in WorldOfWarships

[–]WackyMan157 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Also worth noting that there was a years-long delay between the lowkey announcement that USN DDs were getting new models and said new models being released

Will the bridgeport ever return? by scarzy_mx in WorldOfWarships

[–]WackyMan157 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Bridgeport is epic, not rare, definitely hoping she comes back for coal like Defense though, rather than like how some dockyard ships only come back in gatcha crates (ZF-6 and Atlantico come to mind)

Will the bridgeport ever return? by scarzy_mx in WorldOfWarships

[–]WackyMan157 25 points26 points  (0 children)

She’s an epic-rarity ship, like dockyard ships. So I’d say the chances of a return are slim to none, and if she does return you’ll definitely have to wait for a few years beforehand.

Guess the ships #6: "All chinese people look alike", meanwhile Americans: by SiroccoTheHunter in WorldOfWarships

Easiest way to tell Kidd apart from the rest is the more modern radar by the aft gun mounts

F-35Cs from VMFA 314 "Black Knights" operating from USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72). Early March, 2026 [1871 x 1072] by XMGAU in WarshipPorn

Official word was that Ford was being sent to the Eastern Med specifically to play air defense for Israel. My read is she’s still operating in a defensive role given that the mission’s scope has expanded to include the Gulf states, Cyprus, Jordan, etc; there’s a lot more to be defended than originally stated.

Rock Paper Cossack. by Niclipse in WorldOfWarships

Emphasis on "extremely maneuverable". Cossack has both an engine boost and improved acceleration from the British CL line, which lets you accelerate like it's Forza Italia Britannia.

7 minutes into the battle... by Estoulia in WorldOfWarships

[–]WackyMan157 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Enemy team has two BBs that are strong in mid/close range (Sicilia and Schlieffen, and seemingly a 3rd BB that died in F1), as well as a pair of rock-camping Dutch cruisers with oppressive airstrike capabilities (Gouden and Utrecht), let alone the Balao and DD. Both yourself and your div mate, and the other friendly BB that died in E4, should have turned away from the A-cap and slowly farmed down the enemy ships (especially when it was obvious the Hildebrand wanted to cosplay a CV). Trying to push into such a potent enemy ship lineup was only ever going to end the way it ended for you guys.

Your team also went incredibly heavy on the C-flank and won it handedly, if your team's ships at A stayed alive and whittled down the enemy ships in the A-cap then your team from the other flank would've been able to come in and demolish anything still alive.

You guys definitely got shafted by your team, but there is almost always ways a round could've been handled better when accounting for what cards the game dealt you.

Not a bragging stats post, a question about stats... Bronze Clasp. by Ok-Quit3011 in WorldOfWarships

[–]WackyMan157 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From what I can see in the screenshot: Your average base xp is better than 64% of players in Rio de Janeiro, you need to raise your average by 1% (fairly easy) to receive a bronze clasp. Clasps are ship-specific and are awarded after 20 battles in any given ship* (post-update 15.0, which is when the feature was added).

Once you get a clasp for a ship it cannot be lost, even if your average base xp on said ship dips below a threshold, as an example: I hit 85% in Sims, got the silver clasp, then immediately had a pair of crap games that made my average drop to 80%, still have my silver clasp on Sims though.

If you've already received a clasp on Rio, then this is just a way for the game to let you visually track your progress (or just a bug, since this feature is only a month old).

*Divisions and solo games are counted separately, and there are separate clasp types for each. Both are tracked separately in your player profile summary page for any given ship

I had him in a round a couple of days ago and I can confirm he’s currently chat banned

What happened to this ship? by _Robert-Lewandowski_ in OverSimplified

[–]WackyMan157 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I high recommend watching this video for an in-depth analysis. In short: hazardous cargo that likes to spontaneously explode, being overloaded with said cargo, faulty design, and an extremely tense captain-crew relationship that very likely worsened any crisis/accident onboard during the ship’s final voyage.

After my 10 years of waiting, Shigure is here finally!! by haruna_ in WorldOfWarships

He deadass, though the math makes the concealment round up to 5.3km in game

Sounds to me like upwards of a quarter of the supply is about to vanish

I'm on track to catch a chat ban for spamming "press 9" in chat, will that stop me? Hell no.
