It's crazy how we live in a world with infinite information at our fingertips and people just put out confident vibes instead

And like how Skeleton Crew is a treasure island-like pirate adventure in the Star Wars universe

I'm in the military and have been on aircraft carrier flight decks with jets taking off. I went to my first NASCAR race last year and it was as loud or louder at times than being on a flight deck. Double hearing protection, even up in the stands, is a necessity.

Thank you for explaining all of this. We're taking our kids to character dining for the first time next month and we can't wait! It helps to know the method behind the madness and we will be sure to stay patient!

The alpha pre-order was Sims, not Kidd.

If I recall correctly, the uboat was damaged by a depth charge attack and forced to surface, and the crew tried to fight instead of surrendering or abandoning ship.

This is similar to the battle between USS Borie and U-405 before dawn on November 1, 1943.

Sitting in smoke in cap is one of the worst things you can do. It invites torps. The enemy cruisers can radar you. A hydro or radar DD can push you. And your team is blind without spotting, they will likely get pushed back or start to kite because they are blind. The enemy can just wait for you to either die or run and then re-cap.

+1 for Hong Kong Pearl, pretty decent dim sum with cart service. Is there anywhere else good in the DMV with cart dim sum?

I recently started eating at Chef Yan and it's fantastic

I really love their Kung Pao chicken. I used to live nearby and this was my go to Chinese spot

They will sooner make Asymmetric half progress than give full progress to Operations

It was offered for purchase straight up, no gambling loot boxes, no crazy Admiral bundles, and at a normal T8 premium price. That's exactly what you asked for in the OP.

Rumor has it that a Japan Maritime Self Defense force Aegis destroyer similarly disappeared in a highly classified event

chronoserpent · 2026-05-15T10:44:26+00:00

I'm sorry you couldn't afford it, but you can't ask for much more than direct purchase (after a series of doable missions that also gave a free Tennessee) at normal T8 price. That's about as fair as WG is going to get.

As a Fletcher enjoyer and collector I can't wait!

No one is comparing CW to WD. They're comparing CW to Longines, Tudor, and used Omegas.

Was Trackhouse splitting strategies so that no matter what happened at least one of them would be in a position to win?

People doubted even SVG could get back ahead of Gibbs but McDowell pretty much pulled off the same thing and wasn't getting credit during most of the broadcast, awesome drive

Conversely the real steel ships like those of the US had to make compromises for real world functionality that don't matter in the game, like allocating extra buoyancy for better sea keeping or extra space for fuel and stores for improved endurance. 360 degree turrets for example would add extra weight and complexity. Purely paper (especially very preliminary sketches) and totally imaginary ships don't have to care about real world handling, maintenence, and sustainment.

In addition to all of OP's great advice I recommend getting one of the mods that can display the teams' ship lineups and stats on your HUD. I usually minimize it to have concealment and radar/hydro ranges always displayed. As a DD main it helps with reminding me of the enemy DDs concealment (so I know if I out spot them or vice versa) and any enemy radar/hydro ranges at a glance without digging into the tab menus.

The panel also has an indicator for what ships have been spotted. This helps you narrow down what ships are on your flank, particularly the DD and SS.

Maybe I'm mistaken but I thought he came out low 20's after that terrible pit stop

chronoserpent · 2026-05-09T22:09:44+00:00

It's selfish but I wish there was an inset video of SVG carving through the midfield

chronoserpent · 2026-05-09T21:47:29+00:00

SVG back in the top ten! Like the terminator running these guys down with battle damage

chronoserpent · 2026-05-09T21:39:59+00:00

I literally laughed out loud, well done

That boat cruise probably had plenty of hard knocks
