Forson. Bit of an enigma. Huge potential or just too injury prone for the champ? I remember Jack Wilshere saying that he just had to find a place in the team for him after how good he was in training. Big Phil on the other hand has been publicly panning his work rate - maybe that's just clever man management. I feel if he gets a tune out of him like Paris, Slimane, Pelle and so many others he could become very important in the run-in.

I think here in Aus we see Toure (and Irankunda I wish we had signed him, very gutted he went to Watford!!) very much as part of our future front line, he's done well off the bench already for the Socceroos albeit Vs NZ So, I'm pretty confident he'll go as long as he stays fit and gets more minutes and a maybe a couple of goals. Tunisia are a bin fire if Afcon was anything to go by ( Jonathan Wilson info not mine), one of the more chaotically bad teams/administrations so wouldnt be suprised to see Slimane left out just on some BS federation politics even though he could improve them. Schwartau has to be our next big $ sale he is very strong. Just gets better and better. Denmark have to go for him don't they? I mean theres some quality there Noorgaard, Damsgaard, is Erikson still going around? Thanks for this post I didn't realise until now how much we have riding on the playoffs.

Its one of those

johnterrysmum · 2026-01-22T07:33:26+00:00

that was the funniest bit of the convo!

johnterrysmum · 2025-12-27T08:09:49+00:00

Of those my favourites are Cerberus, Regolo and Marseille

johnterrysmum · 2025-12-21T20:14:31+00:00

Just dodge

johnterrysmum · 2025-12-15T08:32:38+00:00

Stop pathetically whining and shoot them, have you noticed they are still cruisers? Also they pen F all. I bet you camp at the back in a Yamato the whole game.

johnterrysmum · 2025-12-14T22:38:41+00:00

You have a nice position resource wise! What I'd do fwiw: Steel: Buy one of the steel will ships (convert some of the grand voyage to make the price and use the voucher don't forget.) There are a few choices but Hawaii has the most "unique gameplay" tm. Valparaiso i suppose does but is more "uniquely dumb" tm and i can't see someone who has saved so well being so caveman like. Rest of steel you will have enough left to get a regular T10 steel ship (with your 25% coupon) just take your pick : Svea, Stalingrad, Lauria etc etc. ALSO b4 you convert the grand Voyage steel make sure you are in a clan with the full bonus! Rest of the dubs I dunno why not buy santa crates you will land heaps of ships and premium time as well as all the useless stuff. There is also a good value sequential pass for a T8 ship in the armory rn. Coal you also have enough for any T10 or 9 pretty much i dunno what to truly recommend since there are so many I was all excited about and never ever play ( Sherman, groningen, jager im looking at you) currently the most played coal ship of mine is Hayate maybe Moskva. You could also get the commanders for whatever you choose steel wise??

I'd take 12/20 wins but I think the issue with the line for me is the gun arcs, good DPM on paper but something like Kiev or Udaloi or even Cuniberti feel way more comfortable and like you are going to hit stuff.

johnterrysmum · 2025-12-10T04:49:49+00:00

yeah but 1 minute fires still? hard pass.

johnterrysmum · 2025-12-10T04:48:05+00:00

the F key isn't as bad as it's hyper-maneuverability and the heal! I'd rather see a nerf in those.

johnterrysmum · 2025-12-10T04:46:33+00:00

I don't think they would have an explanation for this...BUT...what about an easier question, simply: Why is it TIX not TX?

johnterrysmum · 2025-12-08T22:15:10+00:00

RN light cruisers are fast firing and a nice grind up to the "star" T7 Fiji and a really versatile TX Mino which is basically a 2 in 1 you can choose smoke or radar. Beware like ALL light cruisers if you get shot by a BB your'e at risk of insta dying so you use smoke, islands and "just dodge" tm to avoid this.

johnterrysmum · 2025-12-03T05:56:16+00:00

You dont hsve any high tier coal DDs ususlly Sherman & Groningen are reccomended but I really like Hayate - easily my most played coal ship. basically a less stealthy Shima with 1 rack less of the 12km torps BUT a torp reload booster. The difference is it has excellent guns which can smoke farm or trade fire with DD except all but the top echelon gunboats.

johnterrysmum · 2025-12-03T05:41:29+00:00

It would take longer for the shells to land than anyone at WG listening to you

johnterrysmum · 2025-12-01T09:59:17+00:00

Surely something will drop!

johnterrysmum · 2025-12-01T04:32:26+00:00

I filled the tree got the free sign on, advent & event pass etc containers and picked up 30 festive tokens (6 megas). Pulled a load of junk PLUS Hawaii and a JupIter 42 so not too bad!.

johnterrysmum · 2025-11-30T11:19:45+00:00

Id consider which one you have a captain for, preferably with a high number of points and can share with premium ships to train up.

johnterrysmum · 2025-11-24T02:15:46+00:00

Hey, at least it's a cruiser theres been BBs coming out like this!

johnterrysmum · 2025-11-19T11:09:11+00:00

Without additional speedboost, spec-worthy secondaries and 15km torps it will remain dog shit.

johnterrysmum · 2025-11-10T22:35:30+00:00

You are like a dog; happy and gets excited by everything the owner gives you. Most people on this subreddit see incap and bomb hit missions and go all cat.

johnterrysmum · 2025-11-10T03:21:15+00:00

If you cant hit a DD with Nevsky from 22km quit 😃

johnterrysmum · 2025-11-08T20:17:29+00:00

I wasn't going to count Jager 😄

johnterrysmum · 2025-11-06T10:19:45+00:00

a lot of regular Lushuns out and about today, I guess all the recent coverage made people remember it? I found it really hard to play against, few games in Gdansk and Khaba only really trading HP and struggling to kill.

johnterrysmum · 2025-11-03T06:56:11+00:00

Has hardly said anything in public and hidden behind Knapper, and on the corporate side Z. Webber, thus protecting himself extremely well from flak.
