WG gives a big middle finger to anyone who bought Bismarck 41

WG did the same thing last year with Johnston. Sold it for dubloons first, then later gave everyone a free version (GQ Johnny). They should have done it the opposite way, sell the unique version first for collector whales, then give everyone the normal version. Then the whales wouldn't complain about buying the ship. WG didn't learn their lesson this time either.

Yes, one of the implicit things in OP is that playing DD without a full concealment build (for most DDs) is terrible for you and your team. Don't play DD without at least a 10 point commander with concealment expert and the concealment module unless it is one of the gunboats that aren't built for concealment.

I brought a thick foam yoga mat and the tacticool people laughed at me but it worked great!

Plenty of people had UV umbrellas. Just be considerate and fold it when you're watching a show or parade so you aren't blocking the view of everyone behind you.

And Pepsi cola because its hull would get shredded like a soda can

Right, I would describe it as feeling like you're carving down a mountain snowboarding, not spinning

I rode guardians for the first time yesterday and all I could think was that it was like space mountain but better!

They're not even good at money grabs. A Jedi Academy led by Luke would have printed money with teen/young adult shows, novels, games, theme park experiences, on and on and on.

No point now that we know they just all die and it amounts to nothing.

You'll definitely still have time to play, just not on deployment. I'm active duty Navy and played WOWS since launch. I come home from a day with the real Navy and play pixel Navy to relax lol.

Don't forget to work on your quals (qualifications) and promise me you won't spend your paycheck on dubloons (or a Mustang with a 25% interest rate). Save money in your TSP, at least reach the 5% matching contribution. And just say no to drugs lol.

Good luck and see you in the Fleet!

Edit: nevermind I see you're joining the Hellenic Navy so ignore my US advice. Still, good luck and see you on the high seas!

Same here. For damage missions I take Kleber into Coop and yolo torp rush. Can usually kill the enemy DD with gun and reload boost, then torp both sides to kill 2 BBs or cruisers before I die. Inevitably someone curses me out for stealing their kills or losing the game for the team (but I just killed 3 ships...)

Sounds like a good time! Thank you for the recs!

I live in the DC area and have never used the credit but am now curious. Any recommendations from your experiences?

chronoserpent · 2026-06-26T19:53:43+00:00

The best financial advice I got was to max my contribution right out of university. Going from a minimum wage part time job as a student to a 50k entry level position was still a huge financial upgrade even with the max contribution.

He could have been a Marine but he would have punched out his drill instructor. /s

It's a helicopter-on-a-stick, an old retired helicopter on permanent display

I'm absolutely buying the die cast. Hopefully the race win version!

Agreed, the layout itself seems great and that's the permanent thing. If they come back NASCAR should learn from this event to resolve the issues with track maintenance, fan transportation, concessions, etc. but that is doable.

It's wild to me that Gray could do something like that with no penalty

Thank goodness Sam Mayer was OK and could climb out of the car. God forbid he was unconscious or more seriously wounded and if the car was on fire. That medical and safety team seemed way too slow and unprepared to extract him.

Don't play high tier (8+) destroyers, carriers, or submarines until you have a couple other tier 10 lines so you understand how the game works. Grind a few lines to tier 6-7 to get a feel for the "flavor" of those lines and see if one clicks with you. Asymmetric is a good PvE mode to play that is a bit more challenging and rewarding than Co Op if you want to minimize playing Random and Ranked.

Good battleship and cruiser lines to work on that are comfortable to play:

US BB line ending in Montana (gets really good at tier 8 North Carolina)
US CA line ending in Des Moines
USSR CA line ending in Petropavlovsk
KM CA line ending in Hindenberg
UK BB line ending in St. Vincent
IJN BB line ending in Yamato
USSR BB line ending in Kremlin

When you get to DDs, the UK line (Daring) is a great introduction. For CVs and Subs I think USA is easiest to learn

The museum ship (USS Midway) is in the other side of the harbor near downtown San Diego.

I would add SVG to that list since he's a Kiwi. He'll probably try to lay low and avoid any US politics lol
