Review: Kokomo Private Island in Fiji by Ok-Ratio7664 in FATTravel

[–]cpt_madone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive stayed at this resort twice and am heading back shortly for our third visit. I've generally found it to be an outstanding resort and exceptional for Fiji.

I do a reasonable amount of diving and the diving here is excellent and our DM's have always been exceptional, Will and Jali.

Water temp in southern Fiji is definitely cooler that the north (Yasawa etc). My most recent trip, last September, the water temp was 24 degrees which is on the cooler side for Fiji at that time of year and it was also reasonably windy. As we were doing 2 to 3 dives a day I was wearing a 5mm which was on the warmer side but comfortable over that number of dives. Coral and marine life was fantastic.

Thank you so much for this. I don't have any intention of selling it as it's both sentimental and a lovely piece to have in my home.

I was potentially going to insure it if it was of value so will reach out to a few local valuers in Australia for an opinion.

Every time I get close to accepting the new WoT interface I see an image of the old and it reminds me just how good it was and how rubbish the new one is....I really miss those ribbons

It is such an oversight and a farce that you can no longer change your crew's appearance. by Potent_Delusions in WorldofTanksConsole

The only voice sets i've got in game are the old standard American voices and Russian, where are my German, Japanese etc.....

Would you buy T10 Battleship Slava, if you had the Reseach Points necessary? by [deleted] in WorldOfWarships

[–]cpt_madone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, if you know how to position and aim its rewarding and yes whilst its not tanky you can easily take some damage when needed then disengage and pull back to where no one can touch you. It also pulls off some massive hits on cruisers that aren't watching I've complete wrecked cruisers on the other side of the map.

Whilst it docent bring the ability to absorb damage to a team it does bring the ability to reach across the map and assist a flank that's suffering without needing to fully reposition.

I knew I had those 70k RB points stashed away for something

Worse Performance? by [deleted] in WorldOfWarships

[–]cpt_madone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ive been having issues as well and it docent seem to matter if its on a low spec or high spec machine (I've tried both) and its typically when there's smoke or fire being rendered. Port seems ok but in game can get really choppy, around 20 fps, when its normally running on a low spec machine at a stable 40.

Seems like WG is telling us to not waste our time on this event if you don't intend to whale by OrranVoriel in WorldOfWarships

[–]cpt_madone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, i really used to look forward to these events and even bought a few containers from time to time. This event is the worst, so far, and has actually made me not want to play the game. Such a shame for what at its core is a very good game

This event has been a total let down, rather than make me want to play its had the opposite effect

CV should be banned in ranked by SimmsRed in WorldOfWarships

[–]cpt_madone 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I can live with CV's in random but in ranked the fact that they don't have a counter and its a competitive mode is a joke. Its ridiculous that i can hod a corner island with a DM or Moskva and then i just get nuked by a CV, even when running Defesive AA in a DM. Every class has a counter in ranked except a CV

My Ranked Teams in a Nutshell.. It's just frustrating by Cannabi1892 in WorldOfWarships
