The event is full of pop culture references (plainly memes). This is the best one so far.

That's actually true. Bronze League is where the players can afford to fool around, and still climb through the ranks. Given that you know the basics of what to do & what not to do. Silver League is where you have to be serious. And unless you know how to perform well with the non-meta ships, you're most likely be better off sticking to the meta. Gold League is much like the Silver League, but with more salty players. You can't really afford to be remotely funny, which includes bringing ships that are obviously underpowered. I only made it to rank 5 on last season, and gave up once I got enough wins to collect the doubloons. So yeah you can either stick with the all-in-one MM in Random, the skill-based MM in Ranked (which includes all the salt from 7 seas), or commit exile to PvE where the skies are blue.

Oddly enough, it will be easier to know when a ship is using the DefAA. I mean now the only way to figure it out is to look at the flak bursts, which would have been too late to withdraw the squadrons without losing some planes. But with the new visual, it can be figured out by looking at the shell tracer which appear before the flak bursts. Incoming DefAA-baiting strat MK2: Electric Boogaloo

Because her voice doesn't fit the original design. I mean with that face, she would have to sound like Enty, or slightly pitched Wichita.

As what Helena & Fluffy said, this mode is way imbalanced at T8. Especially due to the presence of the post-war era ships in that tier. T7 still has some radar ships (Atlanta, Indianapolis, Belfast), and a lot of paper ships. So why don't they make it for T6 instead? Sure some nations would get shafted like the French only has Dunkerque (and on the Axis side at that) in the BB category. But the current lineup is totally favoring the Allies, the US being the dominant one due to their vast number of choices. Amagi was close to completion before the Washington Naval Treaty halted her construction. The Japanese chose to convert her to be a CV (not Kaga). But the Great Kanto Earthquake damaged her hull severely. The Japanese eventually scrapped her, and took some of her parts to speed up Kaga's conversion into CV.

This makes me hate the Washington Naval Treaty even more. Many ships on the Axis sides were literally aborted in one way or another due to this one treaty. The treaty didn't even work to prevent the arms race that led to WW2.

WG won't allow that kind of simplification as it would reduce their potential income. Just like Apple which is suing everyone who offer repair services of the products. Any product which get repaired successfully is one less customer that could buy their newer products.

This is nothing new. There was a Ranked season where players with less than 100 battles were sailing with Puerto Rico. This is just an example of what can go wrong with the unrestricted purchases. Skill-based MM won't solve the issue. The lower the battle count, the easier the stats to fluctuate. A player with 3 wins out of 5 battles will have 60% WR. Unless the MM is running on an AI that can actually know the difference between the standard & super cruisers, it won't work as intended.

Yes. It was called "Raid for the Filth". The camo was a link-able.

The key is to not play the tech tree ships more frequently than the premium ships. I have 17 T10 ships, but the ones I play the most are the ones I bought with coal. For every battle in T10 tech tree ships, I will do 2 battles in coal ships to counter the loss. This comes from a player who saved up all the free doubloons for 3 years just to buy a specific premium ship instead of opening his wallet.

It is indeed a joke. WG should add the quantity of the container (3 maybe), or add the reward from it. Even unlucky Try Your Luck gives more than that (7500 iirc).

What to put in your city? A battleship that is! The author said the ship is on 1:1 scale. While she does looks small, her length is indeed at around 251 m in the game. The pic below is a better reference. Building the dock is a hell of a pain.

Not so impressive for the amount of effort to get it. I'd take the doubloons. Maybe the Silver & Gold offer better rewards? But.... if there is anything the Bronze League good at, it's the fact there are no Thunderers flooding the queue.

Speaking of Soviet Bias.... We don't do that here

Let's see.... Omaha & Raleigh (Common) - Enhancement materials Richmond (Common) - Rarer than most Super Rare ships Concord (Rare) - The not-so sadistic version of Ajax Memphis (Rare) - Literal eye candy/insert Mafuyu-sensei joke here Marblehead (Rare) - Insert 177013 reference here Murmansk (Elite) - Haha lease ship go brrr Murmansk's stats seem pretty meh on that chart though.
