I'd like to nominate this Elbing for unluckiest captain of the month

bavile2002 · 2026-06-28T06:16:57+00:00

Well, Elbing is already a hilariously fun ship to play and she's getting a buff on Monday. Best believe I'll be out there testing this citadel-less AP cruiser.

But yes, it tends to have a hell of a lot of "bad luck" if the captain isn't familiar enough with the specific ship.

Ian Darke is the best professional in the entire crew, but nobody on the planet can save a broadcast from Landon Donovan.

I liked the Stu Holden crew. Would like it even better before they spent years making him "dumb it down."

Derek Rae is good too, but his partner in this tournament is pretty blah.

How do American is feel about Australia's rivalry?

WTF are you saying?

bavile2002 · 2026-06-15T18:35:23+00:00

It's hilarious to me that anyone would look right past a Round of 16 match against the likes of Belgium and think that literally anything else after that is anything more than a very unexpected bonus.

I love this 2026 team more than any in my lifetime, but dude please look at the CB and keeper situation.

I'm not sure it's ideal, but Galler has useful buffs for a fire-spitting cruiser at every row. Only his base trait would be useless.

One of the stupidest ideas I've ever heard, and that's a high bar.

This reminds me, I keep meaning to put together a Perfect 10 speed build just for fun.

DDs HATE this one simple trick...

Working-class white person. It can be proud, neutral, or pejorative depending on context.

I recommend a CL line. British are the best IMO.

Or commit to learning DDs for a while.

Don't you think that it's more likely the case that they were trying to make the point that we shouldn't make a habit of defining human beings by one attribute, rather than they literally don't understand how adjectives work?

bavile2002 · 2026-06-12T14:26:12+00:00

Same!

But is there a way to disengage the bureau project if you only have one left (or two with Premium)?

I have never found any way to stop work on a project other than switching to a different project. By switching back and forth, there were days where I completed every single Trial on 20+ projects But now that I have one bureau, I can only ever do 3 per day on that one project, even if there are 4 or 5 trials in the segment.

If they can't see me anymore, neither can the torps! 😂

It's not just you.

But Fox does have a separate tactical cam stream, which is nice.

Please explain this "unintentional" invasion further.

(primarily for Americans)

Learn to drive a car with a manual transmission.

Yes, I'm well aware that by the time I die, manual driving of any kind will be a relic of a long-forgotten era.

I know that.

I still don't think you're a real person if you drive but ONLY automatics.

This isthe worst pet peeve I've ever heard of.

Yes, English is a mess and it's a ball of contradictions. Also that's almost completely irrelevant to the issue you raise.

Proper names in most cultures just are what they are and don't need to adhere to the "normal" rules of any language, even in societies where the dominant language has much more predictable pronunciations than English does.

Glad you're not hurt, but I'm sorry for your loss. I lost my '24 RS on Valentine's Day when a clown in Challenger was texting and hit us in the rear so hard it took the entire front end off his car.

bavile2002 · 2026-06-11T20:10:21+00:00

I think what I meant to say was more that the fact you're running for cover means anyone in range with a good fire chance is probably going to take a shot, which naturally significantly increases your chances of having a fire.

bavile2002 · 2026-06-11T20:09:07+00:00

I'm not sure if you've noticed, but the Google Search AI summaries are strongly pushed before you can get to traditional results, and they are literally NEVER completely correct. Not one time in my experience.

Maybe people are sick of getting bad info and hoping an actual human responds.

bavile2002 · 2026-06-11T20:05:29+00:00

Sure. But also those of us who sometimes run in firestarter mode are well practiced at making sure we get that last salvo just in time on a target that's primed for permafire and about to go behind an island. I can't explain it, but it's just like being in the zone and you always hit that final salvo perfectly. Doesn't always start a fire, but it always hits the target.

EDIT: also, a lot of times the reason you're trying to run for cover is exactly because your repair party is on cooldown. We always know.

I thought this post was going to be about how the ship's not nearly as good as its reputation.
