Ah, cool, gotcha.

I'm down, but won't be back in town until next Thursday.  I'm only in the T2 German cruiser, so I can slowly approach anything sighted then bounce shells off it all day!

Practice manual drops with torps. That is pretty much the key to making people hate you.

And don't try to attack the Texas.

I've been doing some co-op games so that I don't mess up other peoples games. my issue is that I have issues with the fighters. even with strifing I lose them all and my torps become undefended.

I have played CVs up to T9 in both lines, and I *still* suck at strafing most of the time.

So don't feel bad. If you are paying attention, it isn't hard to avoid strafing.

There are different thoughts on this, but in my view my fighters are there to tie up his fighters so my TBs can get through. So my goal is not to "win" the fighter contest, overall, so I rarely, if ever, try to strafe enemy fighters.

Heh.  Just survived a battle with 28 HP left.  Look at that ship funny and it would have sunk.

  Okay that was a stupid match.  I finally decided to try out the DDs and picked the Japanese one, Umikaze (also bought the Russian one because it was available).  First game: I just cruised up the middle, vaporized another DD with a couple torpedoes, and hung out in the base area until victory.  No one else would come near me, so I guess maybe they couldn't see me? 

E:  Except for the DD and a cruiser who were together near the base, the other team had kind of scattered.  After the DD blew up the cruiser took off in the other direction and ran straight into my whole team coming around the corner.

Looks like they are really doing some pretty cool XMas stuff. The set of missions that results in the Graf Spee looks like fun. Looks like you need Tier V to start, so you newbs have something to work on!

Dasha, the Russian chick who narrates the videos, is kind of weirdly cute...

[HVC]

jesus. my games have been like 60% german DDs lol

[MadBurgerMaker]

So they responded to that ticket of mine, telling me what to do for the stuff, which, after looking at it, I wasn't able to do the last thing (accept the invitation) because I was never given the option.  It just went straight to "you are a veteran," which is why I initially figured it was done.   They also said that they can't apply the rewards manually AND I can't accept a new invite if I'm beyond level three.   


Anyhow, I guess neither one of us will be getting anything out of that, Berk.

E:  Although if I could, I would go back and not waste my XP on the South Carolina.  Maybe focus on one line of ships instead of jumping around everywhere.

Eggplants cannot fly.

[HVC]

Sure we can... it's just that our flights are always late

Going to try this afternoon, visiting family in Chicago so I brought my surface pro - we'll see how it goes.
