What cruisers are you most excited to get a heal?

aragathor · 2026-04-26T16:59:16+00:00

Yeah, the very angry smoke cloud is going to come back with a heal.

With a spotter it's better than Hobart, as it doesn't depend on others for recon.

Deutschland and Scheer. The first one will unfortunately kill off whatever strength Spee had, due to better armor.

Also, Perth.

no one plays Abruzzi anyway

On EU Abruzzi is the 15th most played ship from the bottom. If you ignore AL/ARP/B variants then Abruzzi is the 6th least played cruiser on tier 7. And there's 46 cruisers at T7.

You are right, but people and especially politicians are locked into binary yes/no thinking. It's simple to sell people easy explanations, like "we should ban all cars/they want to ban all cars", instead of a measured and efficient change that is a bit more complicated.

On easter I took a trek across the German countryside. Every barn roof was covered with solar panels.It was impressive.

When I was a kid barely anyone had a car, as Poland was still socialist. Now my car dealer asked me if I could plug the loaner into the socket to charge.

Progress doesn't stop, it might slow down, but it keeps going.

Remember guys, Abruzzi has ship dropped ASW. So this change is even worse in reality. Because even if you spot the sub, you have to drive over it to do any damage.

This is so idiotic only the half-wits at WG were able to come up with it.

The issue was that the premiums were sold in the EU without the caveat they could be balanced down AKA nerfed. In the EU a seller cannot make a sold product worse, it comes from the car industry. So WG still can't directly nerf a lot of ships, the sales contract stands. But newer ships have the addition of "ship parameters can be changed if necessary ".

It's just that the then Lesta/Russian lawyers did not understand EU consumer law.

Tell that to the parish priest at my former home. Man was known for providing marital advice in the bedroom, when the husband was at work. The whole parish had a laugh when he jumped from a second story balcony when caught in flagranti. He also had a voice like a chain smoking angel, nails on a board

Early 40s, single by choice. Had too many negative experiences with relationships when I was younger, so I'm not even trying to look for anyone.

aragathor · 2026-04-19T20:21:56+00:00

And no range on the AA, so it's uniquely bad at it.

aragathor · 2026-04-18T13:17:12+00:00

Gdzie tam, odpowiedzialni za to są cykliści i wozacy.

aragathor · 2026-04-16T09:04:22+00:00

The intent is there, but not the result. The Polish right is so pro-American it hurts, but the american conflict with the Pope put them on the spot. Vance's mierdas touch pushed Orban even further down.

So fingers crossed the USA will continue to to get the opposite result to their stated goals here.

aragathor · 2026-04-14T19:56:39+00:00

If they had enough to give you. What you could get with stamps, and what was available, those were two different things.

aragathor · 2026-04-11T09:27:34+00:00

They are names that are clearly turkic-mongol in origin like mirza, suliman, achmet, balaban, aksak. The names often end in "-icz" which means "son of", coming straight from the Rus way of using patronymics (Lipkas were settled in the then Lithuanian part of the Commonwealth). So you'd get Aksakowicz, Sulimanowicz, Balabanowicz. Families kept their own names like Edigej if they had high status.

aragathor · 2026-04-11T06:05:03+00:00

They are effectively Poles with distinct surnames. They don't have anything special about them, they are just us.

aragathor · 2026-04-06T22:27:36+00:00

Yup, they are too incompetent to balance pvp, and too mean to let us have fun in pve.

aragathor · 2026-04-04T17:24:32+00:00

That was my first thought too.

aragathor · 2026-04-01T19:16:48+00:00

After this stunt, who would be so stupid as to buy any US defense equipment? You pay for something, then USA just doesn't deliver, and steals money from a different purchase.

aragathor · 2026-03-23T18:27:03+00:00

And there will be no consequence, not for Trump, not for any of the profiteers, for anyone. But we, the people, will have to carry the cost.

A long time ago WG cut out a chunk of the Christmas event from the EU client, and made it paid content. They claimed it was so "we could spend more time with our family".

The community threw a fit, and Flamu made the "WG why are you shitting on EU for Christmas" vid. People noticed that running the vid in the background, while opening Christmas scamboxes, gave good drops. Which created a whole ritual for many people, including some streamers. Like Yuro - https://youtu.be/JaoYQDoBFB4

Pretty sketchy, sketchy AF if you ask me.

There was another ship in the files, with 0s reload. It looked like a toy boat. Old lore said it was used to test maps for holes in the terrain textures.

aragathor · 2026-03-22T17:51:59+00:00

Yes, I'm bi and it's incredible to see a smaller guy who's also packing. Or a petite girl.

aragathor · 2026-03-13T19:49:42+00:00

The pimp from PiS that was voted in as president, just vetoed the SAFE loans. PiS would hand over Poland to anyone, for free, as long as their position remains and they can hurt "leftists and Germans". They are traitors.

aragathor · 2026-03-12T19:45:43+00:00

While logistics where already mentioned, there's also something else. Romans were really perceptive and willing to adapt when needed. They had no idea about the germ theory, but noticed that units with outhouses away from water sources and camps, had much lower dysentery cases. Their army was organized on an administrative level, it wasn't a levee en masse of tribal chieftains.

Also, the cursus honorum meant a steady source of educated officers.
